Pumpkin exchange rate

I'm having a problem with the boost, I've purchased it 2x but it's still not active.

The seasonal currency is too complex, it gets boring. Only logical conclusion is they're hoping people will get frustrated and just buy their way past it, but the cost of boosts and deals is much too high for the level of return.

I’m in the same situation.  The main problem is converting all the pumpkins. I refuse to spend any money on this game when they make prizes difficult to achieve.   If I feel forced to spend money, I close the wallet. 

My capital has 61 fully upgraded London Town homes, so if I used the 720 number, I make 43,920 pumpkin coins daily.. just from the london town homes. I'm not even going to calculate what my paris town homes bring in.

What my point is, I earn plenty of pumpkins but with the snail pace of converting currency, I'm wouldn't have enough converted currency to get all the buildings and upgrade the hot spots.

Which, I am not even bothering. I just use the pumpkin currency to redeem for landscape and vu items if I am bored enough.

I have more pumpkins than I can use and nowhere near enough of the essence and creep coins. Short of a miracle I will not be able to complete this season's collection either, which will be 3 in a row incompleted.

They just want us to send them money, end of story. 😞

You should exextly read what you buy in all cases and than deside if you do it.

You're falling straight into the EA trap and spending money. 

You have to agree that only having the boost last one week rather than the whole season is a total con as well!

When you build London town buildings to level 6 you can get 360 plumkins within 24 houers.  If you buy the boost for 100% for plumkins you can get 720 for full upgraded London town buildings.  Some peopols have problems with this boost but  in my case it works.

I think seasonal currency should just be completely removed from the game and every player given one season free premium pass to make up for all the unnecessary and lousy things added to the game by the developers.
