Impeach the Conference of Mayors!
I share the frustration of previous posters. I am really tired of the 'produce and collect' 50, or 60, or 80 of a given material; trying to use or sell them after you collect them is nearly impossibl...

I think it was level 58 when I was able to build another factory. This allowed me to build 56-60 items in 1 go, as opposed to spending 5-7hrs longer when I was level 57 and lower.
I don't mind those tasks. I have lots of speed up tokens and I can burn through those glass fast, or I can sell them for 1 simoleon each to clear them in a hurry.
I actually like it when there's so many 4-7hr items in the GTHQ, it means I can stop making them myself for 5 days, and start using my speed-up tokens to build other items.
I don't care much about the value of the tasks, just as long as every player has the ability of reaching the same total score, given they complete every largest task assignment.
At present, it's all random. Even though 100 players might do their highest value tasks, they could still be 10-20k points between top and bottom. It's purely luck to get into the top10 and win a decent prize. Anything less than top 10 is a slap in the face in the current system.
Let us all compete against the scoreboard, not against each other. Let the game be fun instead of a waste of 5 days hard work...

Agreed!!
While it is kind of fun to compare your own score with others, this "grading on a curve" competition is a lot of work and frustration. A game is supposed to be fun.
I still like the idea of the leagues though - starting from neighbourhood and working up to the "big reward" city/metropolis/mega leagues. You should have to put in a bit of effort to get into the big leagues with the big rewards, ....but not at the expense of your job or school, where gaming has become an addiction.
Balance is the key.
