Egyptian Hospital impossible to get without paying real money

You have seven days to complete the event track. And you earn points for upgrading houses. So get building. I regularly complete the event track without spending money.

Plus it's not even easy to earn points by spending money. If you notice, the only purchases that seem to apply points to the event track anymore are the Sky Chain Offers.

The points from tasks and milestones will get you about half way 3,500 points give or take. Your pearl of wisdom is to build houses. At zone = 5, level 1-2 = 20 and level 3+ 30 that’s an awful lot of houses that I neither want nor should have to build. So as to have space I upgrade and destroy what a waste. No clearly EA deliberately got the numbers wrong to squeeze more money out of the players.

I have completed every event track up to now without real money, this is the first time that real money will clearly be required and is a clear indication of EA’s changing attitude. Over the last few tracks the numbers have changed from very easy to just doable to now impossible without real money or a massive waste of house building which would take time and resource away from completing tasks, meaning more houses. A self perpetuating non-completing cycle.

I have the same issue, it’s impossible to earn the Egyptian hospital. Rediculous!

I'm in the same situation. I've been playing this game for years, and I've managed to complete the event track nearly ever, but this time I think it's impossible, even buying three or four items, because they've reduced a lot the plumbobs you get for real money. It's completely abusive. EA is destroying this game trying to squeeze us more and more. They don't even listen to players. I've searched for the contact options we had before to make a complaint, but now it's an automatic bot simply getting data. No interaction with gamers. I definitively feel this will make me out from this game forever, and somehow I think I'll get back some life I'be been loosing. All this changes to the game make it a suffering experience instead of a relaxing city-building game as it eas before. I suppose I'm not the only one ready to leave this game forever. Is EA trying to get rid of gamers to make it less conflictive to close the game forever, maybe??? I feel this is the only reason to make this game so nasty to players.

The filtering they have been using the last couple weeks is pretty insane as well. I can look at my wife’s device and see things i need in her market but all i see is mountain items and hamburgers in mine. Refreshing the market at the exact same time. Whoever is in charge of profiting for this game must be getting ready to lose his job, there’s way less people playing and they are making it harder and harder.

Thank you for bringing this up, I was questioning whether it was me doing something wrong, since I am going for the second to last tier of the event track and have realized I am clearly not going to make it to the hospital, unless I spend real money. That's quite frankly disgusting from EA, it used to be possible to grind to the end reward, but now they're just outright making it clear they want us to spend money. Even worse, the event points from purchases have also been decreased, meaning you have to make a large purchase if you want to get the last reward. That's pay-to-win for you all. 

I've checked numbers.... I should still complete 17 tasks, 15 extra tickets tasks and upgrade aprox. 200 houses to get the egyptian hospital, or, if I was rich, pay 1500-2000 € to get it. 

Years playing this game, but I've decided to leave it. Each week it becomes harder, and no matter how many hours you spend on it daily. You can't simply work on the game to get the buildings that are supposed to be achievable working.... No. You really must spend big amounts of money to get them. When you're a high level in the game -I'm 99- upgrading houses becomes harder. The items required are difficult to find or produce. It's impossible to upgrade 200 houses even if I didn't sleep a few days. Yes, I've been thinking about what this game has done in my life, specially since EA decided to harden it so much (so many shops and items, useless market, impossible tasks in COM, unaffordable payments, 6.940 plumbobs to get the egyptian hospital -vs. 5, 20 or 30 plumbobs obtained for one upgraded building-).  I'm ready to quit this game, totally quit it. It doesn't please me anymore. It's making me deeply unhappy. I think there is so many people playing this game that I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling like this. Maybe EA needs thousands of players leaving this game to realized the goose that laid the golden eggs is dying, because I'm sure there's noone from EA actively playing this game. Bye forever.

Agree with all of the above. Garbage move by EA. I’ve been playing for years, but may stop if this continues. I am getting promoted to Megalopolis league this week…. And it’s still not near enough to get the hospital.

I add: this hospital is essential to get the excavation coins and complete the Pyramid of Giza. A shame... especially because those who compete for these goals are those who have a high level and perhaps already invest several dollars/euros per month in the game (as far as I'm concerned, 6€ every 28 days for the CoM premium pass). I repeat. A shame!

I've been playing for years, too. After this event track I'm more convinced to quit playing the game altogether.
