Disappointed with the lack of new content

Back to the original question, i am fine with facades as prizes, which are free gameplay. I have very little room in my town. Every event cannot add 20 buildings to the town.
How is actually having events a "vengeance"?
Should they add even more items that you have to purchase with real cash every event? Most players would scream bloody murder if they did that. That is the only way they earn money right now as players farm donuts to buy stuff with donuts. Do you buy them every event? Do you still buy donuts? Offering items for donuts doesn't really make them any money.
There are many indications that their dev team is small and has been since 2018:
Events are pretty bare bones with no crafting , no tappables and no visiting. they don't have enough people to add those features and or the code is getting so bad it would strain it too much
Game issues can linger for months or years before they get fixed. This is the one that worries me. Used to be when there was a game issue it would get fixed in the next couple updates. some issues have been around for over 2 years. It isn't that they don't care, they just cannot get to it.
But I am not trying to convince you. You can believe as you wish. But you will not convince me either and that is ok. I love this game and will play whatever they give us until they turn the lights off and close the door.

I agree with all of this. Taking the interim event format, and using it for every single event from there on , is definitely not “back with a vengeance”. It’s phoning in the absolute minimum.

Which I’m just saying I appreciate at this point, because something is better than nothing; which I experienced and didn’t like at all.

11EE makes another good point… If this was a town building game there would be no limit to how many features can be placed on the ground, except the size of the ground itself. They call it one because that’s what gamers like me want. It’s bait n switch. This game Is simply reward addiction like a slot machine, disguised as a town building game. Take off the building restrictions and I’ll reconsider this opinion

We just have different perspectives on the game. It seems the repeated event format has been just bare minimum for you thus in turn has created not much expectations.
For me it’s not the event itself in which I care about it’s the content they offer in such events that do it for me.
Examples being:
the water park
The circus
The dog showcase
The race track ( without crafting)
Halloween event items are always good
So when I see an event especially a holiday event with not much to offer yes I get disappointed, because I am one who enjoys the designing/ building aspect of this game, & not so much the event it’s self. Me stating it’s a city building game is not MY opinion, it is a fact. As much as you disagree with me on this again a simple Wikipedia search will confirm such. It clearly states Tapped out is a city building game.


PS. Your town is pretty awesome ?
I didn’t even know it was possible to put water where the mountains are. I’m not exactly sure how to do that but I plan on figuring it out lol
