Debate: Is farming cheating/stealing?
I'm curious to hear your current thoughts and the current viewpoint of farming donuts. Do you consider farming a fair alternative between customers + EA?

First of all in the beginning the trait of building lots of blue houses was because EA introduced the trophy buildings. If I wanted to build popsicle skyscraper I needed lots of money and building lots of blue houses was the answer. Then they nerfed the blue building farming because of their own mistake.
IMHO EA's todays answer to donut farming is to give in each event the tray of 132 donut with unique gift that cannot be get anywhere else. If person is keen to get all the items in the game they will spend the money in every event. That's lots of money to EA.
On the other hand my games suffer a bug that prevents me to buy golden scratchers and certain trays of donuts as the game states that I already own the items. And EA is not even interrested to figure out that bug. So they clearly do not care about my ability to spend money on the game.
This bug came up when EA "fixed" the bug where one got the founding fathers, Sven Gully & Ned's RV for free if one tried to buy the Sven Gully offer. All my games exploited that bug and something now in the code think that certain amounts of donuts still carry those extra items and I can't buy them because I already own the items. Why this also affects the golden scratchers I don't know. I actually don't miss the golden scratchers I'm only little bit miffed on the "You would have won..." message on normal scratchers as it is now false because I can't buy golden scratchers. Hate it when a game gives false information.
