A Little Disappointed

I could go for repeating past events. I didn’t get to play the whacking day event, for example. People who played those events in the past could skip them if they weren’t interested, or play the event again. But it would be nice to offer something new in those events, since they offered so much in the yearbook. I splurged and gathered a lot of donuts with rat trap trucks and bought nearly everything I was missing (there are 4 or 5 decorations left that i’m Not really interested in).

Another option in lieu of an actual event would be something similar to what we’re doing now, but start it with the release of a new building or character and throw in a couple of prizes along the way, even if they’re just decorations that already exist in the game.

I don't see the point in playing an event again unless you never got all the items.

I would like to see a redux of the Classic Mini Events like from 2017. Give us previously played events like Pin Pals, Crook and Ladder (although with a workaround for the friend interactions?), and maybe events like Whacking Day and Springfield Games.

It's true. They used to do this all the time and then after they would drop a huge event. It's a strategy to get you to buy a lot of donuts.

This was a disappointment for me. I felt like I was just wasting time, getting nothing to increase the value of Springfield. I personally would like to see some different houses added, maybe some duplexes and some more tasks that the majority of the characters can do.

They should at least raise the item limit. Then we can build stuff with old items.

From your mouth to the Sky Finger's ear!

I like to landscape with lots of trees and get hydrants, crosswalks, street lamps, and benches. Most of my newer and recently redesigned areas are void of the details I love.

Hydrants, street lights, stop signs, & mail boxes are things I'd love to add, but long ago decided they must be sacrificed to appease the evil god of item count limits. So many streetlights in inventory I wish I could use.

with the Game of Thrones season premiere? Yea, me too.

But the tennis courts and nice ? ?

Yeah! Unless I'm crazy - possible! - these are unlimited, so while the limited nature of this "event" disappoints, I'm glad I can use the remaining time to grind away and generate as many tennis courts as possible.

%age increasing items that don't cost donuts are hens-teeth territory, so I'm gonna crank 'em out while I can! It's gonna look like Wimbledon exploded in my town! :D

Don't forget to watch Ben-Hur at the Googolplex! 1/2 a tennis court every 3 hrs :)

Someone else reminded us that it's only 2 donuts to rush, so basically it costs 4 donuts to get an item with a 2.25% multiplier.

I took this to heart and rushed the awards a ton of times. Bought like 50 tennis courts over the span of maybe 15 minutes!

Still more than a week to go in this round - not sure when I'll stop churning out tennis courts. I'm coming up on 2000% - do I want to shoot for 2500? :)

One of the things I realized when I read their recently published stats about total KeMs bought and donuts spent, is that WE are driving those numbers. Only a small segment of players bothers to farm. I played daily for years and was quite aware of the practice before bothering to do it occasionally then later routinely. So if they've recently embraced our niche behavior for their marketing benefits then win-win right?

So there you go, a conspiracy w a positive twist. Believe in that, keep calm n tap on
