Why don't the developers understand we are sick of seasonal currency?

Bringing this thread back up for visibility to show this is not a new topic of concern from players.

Next season is a Christmas / New Year themed season with the upgradeable hot spot being Santa's Airport. There will also be new residences introduced called "cozy homes" and I'm willing to wager the houses will generate seasonal currency to be converted.

I neither want the Christmas / New Year's themed season, nor do I want ugly Santa houses. I hate Tracktwenty, I hope they get closed like Maxis did.

I'm exceptionally irritated that the new viking walls / gate / watch tower require seasonal currency to purchase. I was looking forward to the black friday events to go crazy with the walls. But now, EA does not let us have any fun. 

I have an idea about seasonal currency - EA staff should be paid only in seasonal currency, and then they will have to use a currency converter every 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours to convert it to the currency they use in their every day life.

I am serious about this idea, if they want to promote seasonal currency, they should feel the pain.

I miss how seasons used to be prior to the last couple of years.  The prizes were worth the effort and we didn’t have all these unnecessary steps either currency exchanges. I enjoyed playing before and now I hate it and I’m bored. I really just do trains and war now. 

Remember the good old days when there wasn’t seasonal currency. All they have to do is revert that code change. Remember when there wasn’t a cap on points and both the Contest of Mayors and Season Track used to be just plumbob points.  This game is going downhill rapidly, because the coders are forced to make things worse and worse with no-one listening to the users.

Here’s an idea. Why doesn’t EA post a list of suggested updates and we the users get to vote on which get implemented and which don’t

Wanted to re-up this thread because well, I feel like there will be more complaints about the subject of this thread in the coming days.

I agree. I think the teams involved with developing and running the game should be required to go through currency conversion methods like we do to earn their paycheck. I have a very strong dislike of the work they have done in the game as of late. The City Report Card is an example of a waste of time.

We urgently need to return to the seasons of two years ago. Back when seasons lasted 45 days and awards were valuable.
