do you play for the cap or the Simcash

this is a very valid question. let me explain what I mean.

they gave each of us 2,500 tickets at the beginning of the season and made sure we all knew about the cap.

at an average of 30 tickets per task you need 2,250 tickets to do 75 tasks each week. unfortunately 75 tasks may win you a prize but it will push you past the cap.

if you don't buy the season pass you're only going to win a specified number of gold tickets even if you do the special event also. this will still not be enough tickets if you want to go for the prizes and ignore the cap.

the first week of the season I did all my tasks and ignored the cap. I did not win a Simcash prize beyond the small but i tried.

week 2, I won first place. I did every task, I did every daily, I did every milestone. but I had to ignore the cap to do it. is there a chance I'm going to win a Simcash prize this week? maybe but I doubt it.

week 3, i just hit my cap. I'm in mega. I just cleared the 35th tier. I have 58 tasks left to do this week and only 1,675 tickets. using the average of 30 tickets per task that means I would need 1,740 tickets to do all of my remaining tasks. I'm currently in fifth place and there are 2 days 22 hours left in the contest. if I want a prize I have to spend the rest of my tickets to try for it. which means I won't be able to do any tasks next week other than the dailies and the milestones.

I have no doubt that I will hit the 38th tier before the season is over and collect my 550 simcash from the free pass. unfortunately if I go for a prize this week I will not have any tickets left to play next season. please don't suggest I spend my sim cash to buy more tickets because I play in the contest to win the Sim cash not waste it.

is EA going to give us 2,500 gold tickets for free at the beginning of every season or are they deliberately making this free to play but pay to win?

what do you think?

Just ran out of golden tickets. I assumed you would easily earn enough to be able to complete com. Only needed around 300 to finish weekly task. Everything about this game is designed to make you quit. Does this mean I can no longer do com next week/ month? Played 9 years now. Almost all seasoned players have given up. Are EA that stupid?

I have no idea what plans EA has for next season. so far I've only seen three ways to buy more gold tickets.
1- you can use real money, which is never an option for me
2- you can use your sim cash, which to me is a really bad option so I'm not going to take advantage of it
3- and this last week in the season I noticed they are allowing us to spend the stupid snowflakes to get more gold tickets. this one I took advantage of but I was only allowed to buy 1,000 tickets even though I had a lot more snowflakes because I didn't want any of those silly buildings.
I'm pretty sure there's a lot of people in your position with absolutely no golden tickets. I haven't finished my tasks for the week so I don't know if I'll have any left or not. I'm still trying to reach the 38th tier.
