May be time for a divorce

This has been my go to game for about 10 years. 90%+ of my gaming happens here. From catching up in the morning with my coffee, to firing up a few cheetah tokens a couple nights a week when my wife is on her late workdays, and checking in periodically throughout the day, I am a dedicated and loyal player. I have advanced a long way. I have made friends all over the world in my club. Even met in person. But it may be about to end. It’s only been a couple days of the new updates, but I’m not happy at all with this game. I buy Premium Pass every season. I figured $9 for 4 weeks is a reasonable cost for the entertainment. But the Mayors Pass rewards are pretty much all garbage now. And as an added kick in the shin, they cut off progress when you reach a certain number. I always said I’ve invested too much time in this game to start a new one from scratch, but this may be the last straw. I’m staying for now, but I am seriously considering looking for a new pastime. Hope I didn’t bore you with my rant.

  • I’ve been considering same for about a year now.  The  challenges are becoming ridiculous and the rewards less value. It’s almost as if EA wants people to leave.  Couple this with the absolute worse customer support and I’m about one more lag or kick, cheater away from leaving! 
    My biggest issue are the increasing abundance of blatant cheaters! EA obviously doesn’t care!

    Yup - me too! Update has screwed the game so think I'k going to sack it and find something new. And it used to be such fun!

    I've quitted playing ten days ago, since the egyptian hospital. For the first time in six years I didn't complete the season though I had bought the pass. The hospital event impossible, the classic event (9260 plumbobs required) impossible, the demoralizing season uncompleted. When there's no reward there's no addiction. EA has gone too far. But when I've seen the new update I couldn't believe they could do it even worse. It's not only I can play it no more. I can't even open the game. I find it nasty and stressing. I feel free from it. I'm unable to get back. And it's good for me.

    I've been looking in playstore. For now I don't want to enrole in any other game. I've lost too much lifetime this passed six years, but it helps me to check that if I wanted to have another building game, there are more options that aren't so exhausting and stressing like this. Theo city doesn't impose contests, building city is another one very similar but it's not EA's, and I suppose it will be better. Maybe I'll try one of these in a few months time. Now I feel too tired...
