Be aware: Mystery Boxes and Homer Buddhas are RIGGED.

Lol.

You'd think there'd be a 50/50 shot of getting a quality premium item with the Homer Buddha, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Really, it's about 5/95 that you'll get something good.

Seriously? I guess you always expect to hit the jackpot whenever you buy a lottery ticket?

When it comes to gambling there will always be quite a few losers.
If they charge 10$ for a ticket with the chance of winning 1,000,000$ how many losers do you expect there to be per winner? At least 99,999 unhappy lottery buyers per winner. Then the lottery company want some money to cover their costs so add another 5,000-10,000 buyers.


When it comes to the Homer Buddha, EA can afford to hand out more "donut value" than you put into the "lottery" (following the fact that burning bushes etc. etc. doesn't cost them $) and you actually have quite a good chance of gaining items costing more than the 15 you just invested. Then again, why would anyone spend 20 donuts on a burning bush? Your guess as good as mine.

So from your 3 Buddhas you ended up with items valued 30 donuts (+another 6 for the mystery box, but it didn't end up with anything good) . Yes its a loss, surprise surprise, its called gambling.

If you want a "quality premium" item, don't try the Buddha.

Wow, this was bumped as an add me thread, well that is unique. I would be more peeved, but with a name like yoshiskills I just cannot be, Yoshi is one of the all time best. Heck, I might even have to add.

I was thinking the same thing. The thread seemed kind of stale as I was reading it, which prompted me to check the dates. And then, boom, the "add me" comes completely from left field!

I'm most curious as to why this thread was chosen. Yoshi, can you spread some enlightenment around?

Bought my first homer buddha yesterday and I got moleman. :D So it is possible to get good premium stuff from it. Then I bought another one and I got a mystery box which gave me the angel. :roll:

WORKING THEORY: Yoshi = Rawm3l.
Time will tell.

Oh, good theory, that would make me sad, very sad, I love Yoshi too much to have that little monster defamed with such douchebaggery....

If I purchased donuts I wouldn't use them on the mystery box....luckily imgotmthe lemon tree early on...so really I don't think I will be spending anything on the mystery box again...

Alsomimhave only had one mystery box from playing 5 days in a row up to now (I only got the game about a week ago) and I got wooden fences...which annoyed me....if they give outmcrap for six donuts at least give something like a 50/50 chance of something good for the loyalty reward...which is suppose to make peopple Wan to play the game more isn't it ?

U just got unlucky, I got frinks lab burning bush and I can't remeber whitch box I got the tire fire from. If u have the lemon tree I wouldn't wast my donuts on the mystery box.

But I did have a Buddha that had a mystery box in it and then got 60 doughnuts in the mystery box.

Also had my fair share of fences,newspaper and bushes

I was saving up donuts to get a premium item that required 20 donuts.
I only needed 2 more, but stupid me, while collecting $$ from stores, accidentally hit the the button to speed things up and immediately after that, my mind went blank and I hit the damn close button instead of cancelling it.
I went from 18 to 16 donuts. I know that's not a huge drop or anything, but it's still VERY frustrating.

Anyway, I got mad, thought -f** it- and went ahead and bought the Buddha.
I was expecting a fence or something, but I ended up getting the tire fire (which normally costs 40 donuts) ^^
Heck of a lot better than what I was originally tending to get with 20.
