Don't buy the golden eggs!

Cosigned wholeheartedly. I hate that I'm starting to really dislike EA. I've never been a big complainer when it comes to this game or any other EA game. I've always liked a lot of their games and I've always been willing to fork out money. I'm not one of those people who complains about premium stuff. Most of the stuff in this game is free. In fact, I kind of like the idea of premium objects. I like saving up my money and buying things in this game. It's gratifying and I enjoy getting something out of it that is special. That's what being a premium player is all about. This event has taken that premise and destroyed it. It has removed all incentive to play premium during events. I have spent around 150 donuts on this event and I have nothing but Bunny #24601 to show for it. I know of other players on this forum who have spent double, even quadruple what I have spent and have ended up with nothing at all. That's not "premium" gameplay. That's a rip-off. This game is not advertised or categorized as a gambling game. If loyal premium players are going to trust EA not to rip them off, EA ought to have the decency to better the odds for premium players or to at least remove the lame prizes from the boxes after we win a certain amount. Every good thing I've won in this event (minus Bunny #24601) has been won with free eggs.

I hope EA understands that they've made premium purchases during events completely pointless. I will not be making this same mistake in the future and I'm sure many others who bought the rigged eggs feel the same. EA may have made a lot of money off of us in the short term, but they're going to lose a lot in the long term. I will not pay for anymore chance games from EA. If they only made the odds slightly better for premium eggs, they may have ensured my continued business during future chance-based events. Alas, they did not and now I know better than to trust them. I hope they develop a different system for events, where premium objects are available to buy with donuts, with no gambling involved. Something like the community prizes and prizes you work for, with premium stuff available to buy for those who want it, would be much better for premium and freemium players alike. From what I've been reading, this event has seriously frustrated both premium and freemium players. Not many people are enjoying it. EA ought to listen to their customers. *end rant*

Well I think they listened (maybe, somehow), that's why they incorporated golden eggs in the game today, but since they haven't changed the odds and nobody is getting anything but trash, the blow-back here is kinda hard to overlook.
But other than that I 100% agree with everything you said :thumbup:
