To all on this thread,
It has been since March 5th since this issue came about. The introduction of service 2. And now after 49 days we can safely suggest that EA is not going to fix this problem. If fact we are now thinking that EA is doing this on purpose. Why would they want to kill a "cash cow' of a game? Maybe it is because they feel they are not making enough money from this game and want to introduce the EOL for SCBI.
Players are quitting, leaving this game in mass. This will have a snow-ball effect in the end run. No one left to "pay" so they will kill this game. Oh, and by the way there will be no thank you from EA for all the support we have given them, all the money for all these years. They are laughing all the way to the bank.
One cannot deny this scenario because we now have begging for money ads everywhere in this game. We are now seeing ads in the GTHQ for purchasing items that may or may not be needed by the long time seasoned players. (at least for us) No reason for the advertisement of these items to be at the GTHQ. For a long time now we have had two advertisement signs in each regional and our capital city. In the paddle lock icon now we see 3, 4, 5 ads for purchasing cat & dog?????? currency. Wow, what desperation. This new theme of cat and dog currency is a slap in the face ideal to the original theme of Simcity Buildit. One has to wonder if EA will give away any of this money to actually support animals.
We have sent in so many complaint notices to EA, the support team here on this forum, the in-game-help - we have lost count. Nobody will help and we all wonder why?
It is apparent that EA is in business to take players money without respect, without gratitude towards us. All of these avenues to bring attention to an issue and nothing ever gets accomplished, except for new ideas on how to scrape more money away from us.
This kind of business plan is backwards in every sense of that term. It would stand to reason that to make players happy, have a good time playing the game the more liable they would be to spend money. Playing this game; with this new badly-thought-out ideal of service 2 has now become a struggle, a task and is not fun any more.
All we can say we are certainly stunned, without words to describe, EA's attitude towards the very people that have supported them over the 11 years.
OH - MY

This has only been a problem for you since March 5th. I have been trying to help others troubleshoot since Mid-February and there are other posts about this issue dating back to last year.
I will read your whole post. I do not work for EA. Feel free to check out my profile and contributions.
However, I did not get halfway through your contribution before being nauseated by it.
I'm sorry you are going through what you're going through.
