E5 SUPER SIM CARD BUYING GLITCH.
Report on the Train Festival Reward Glitch in SimCity BuildIt
E5 Super Sim Card and the Special Store:
A key highlight of the Train Festival event in SimCity BuildIt was the E5 Super Sim Card, a special item offering exclusive advantages. Players were supposed to receive 10 E5 cards per week during the event, with a special store added in the final (fourth) week allowing the purchase of 10 additional cards.
Reward Glitch and Player Experience:
During Week 2 and Week 3, a glitch caused many players, including myself, to receive incorrect rewards instead of the expected E5 Super Sim Cards. Although the event interface showed the cards as rewards, different and unrelated items were delivered instead.
Despite this being a widespread issue, there was no compensation or return of the missing cards from the developers. This was especially frustrating for players who were actively participating and possibly spending resources in anticipation of collecting all available cards.
Conclusion:
The reward glitch, along with the absence of any resolution or acknowledgment, negatively impacted the player experience. While the event itself was well-designed, such technical issues and lack of communication from the developers undermine trust and fairness in futu
re events.
