Please end "seasonal currency" and lousy season passes

Hi,

Could the developers please stop having "seasonal currency" after this round? Can we go back to having a normal seasonal pass (normal meaning the usual standard we used to have)? It is very frustrating to be overwhelmed with so many currencies in the game, while having very little interest in the items offered for purchase with that currency.

I was excited for a season based on Cairo, but in true Sim City fashion... it got bungled. Why does the Great Pyramid at Giza have to be an hot spot that I have to upgrade, and why does the upgrade have to be done with "excavation coins"? I'm happy to not use SimCash, but I just find it to be a waste of time overall. I will probably just leave the Great Pyramid hotspot landmark building in my storage. I already have a handful of Great Pyramid of SimCity buildings that I already don't use. 

I already thought last season was exceptionally boring as all the season pass buildings could have easily just been things put up for sale with simcash and whatnot. The railway buildings should have been available from the get go and why it took a year to get anything is beyond me.

Bottom line all I am asking is that Sim City BuildIt respect me as a player. I play fair, I follow the rules. While I understand that the ultimate goal is for EA to make money, I think this is not the approach to take. You've taken a game that is already not that simple to play, and made it more difficult. And now I have to endure another season of people asking me how to use the seasonal currency. It's very frustrating and it is my sincerest request that seasonal currency be discontinued after this season. I do not think it adds to the game, even if I am in the minority. Thank you.

    I've been playing the game since before the monthly pass (August 2016). Honestly seasonal currency is something that should be discontinued, besides nerfing the premium pass, they just nerfed the weekly seasonal shop too! Last season it was costing 135 seasonal coins to get 3 town expansion items (you could buy them 5 times and the total was 15 items at the final value of 1460 seasonal coins) so in 4 weeks we were able to get 60 expansion items in 4 weeks. Now you have to pay 4000 for 1 item of each and can only buy them up to 2 times.

    For players who can't buy the premium pass, I'm sorry to tell you, but it will be impossible to complete the album, as one of the items is costing 36,600 (week 1) and you won't even get close in the free pass (even if you complete the pass in 1 week) 

    Nowadays if you buy the premium pass you receive not even half of what you received before these seasonal coins: 

    Now: 75,000 Simoleons > 40 golden keys > 34,500 Neo Simoleons > 85 platinum keys > 12,000 War Simoleons > 3500 regional currencies (I'm leaving out Speedup Tokens, Vu Items, Golden Tickets, Simcash, Town Deed, Beach and Mountain.)

     

    Please leave it as it was before.

    I agree EA pushing us to buy the buildings in the Curator Event is total BS. I’ve been playing 11 years on IPad now plus the original on PlayStation 1.

    i already have all of the items that EA is now trying to sell to unsuspecting newbies coming into SimCity Buildit.

    If your reading this “Do Not Buy” them as all the ones I have are all in storage because I have nowhere to place
