Basketgate poll

Luckily i was wasnt affected by either of these
  • Just here to join the NO baskets discussion. I have had 15 total baskets the entire event- and most of them were in the first week.
    I have not had a glitchy or "dead" basket.
    I found the Fab egg moments after finishing the quest- then I went 9 days with not a basket to be found until today, when I got 1 (woot! LOL)

    So, while I believe the code is such that no egg-no basket- there is also some sort of "issue" with the random number generator for basket giving bunnehs. To you ppl that say I get 4 baskets a DAY!... meh.

    I am also aware that I am a freemium player and my expectation is never to get all of the content- and I am cool with that. BUT i wish that EA would not dangle all of that content in our faces and say.. FREE TO YOU.. if it isn't. I am totally alright with the free stuff being chance or whatever- then put all of the things that they expect ppl to pay for in its own category and let us decide if we want to pay for it or not. And IF you PAY for it .. you should GET it end of story. Right now, spend $$ on gold eggs.. and still NOT get premium prizes? I would be mad too.

    It is really no different than saying.. here ! crazy cat lady for sale.. you push the buy button and there is ......spinning...........and.. then that "price is right" noise.. waaahhhwaaah WHAT hwaaaahhh.. eeeeeeehhhhhhhh, not this time. If they did that with all of the premium content nobody would do it, would they?

    How is the hunt for Shary Bobbins any different? they tell you it will take a MINIMUM of 10,000 gold eggs or possibly 40,000 (holy crap!) 2(8) truckloads and 100 (400) donuts...and you STILL might not get what you want.

    Anyway, I am not really mad at the event- I am mad about the execution of it. If you want to have premium and non-premium content available to players that is great, most of the freemium players accept there will be things we cannot get and we live our lives just fine- tell us what those things are an let US choose to buy or not, instead of making us gamble and hope for things we will certainly never be able to get. Especially if we are not given a fighting chance because of glitches and built in house always wins code.

    Thanks for listening to me
