I think my new years res is going to be staying out of game discussion entirely.

Right. Good luck with that. 8)

So the update is basically another shot at these forums. Maybe if EA spent more time trying to develop a fun game and give us updates with decent content instead of getting butthurt with what they read on here and reddit, then we wouldn't complain. It's pretty sad when they put out at least 2 updates with dialogues about the forums when most the people who play the game don't visit the forums or reddit. Developers truly are worthless and out of touch.

My other posts took this off topic, but I do have a response. It should, in my opinion, be the FIRST action of a company to listen to the customers. Most TSTO players are not in the forum, but the forum is the one place in which EA can actually hear the "conversation" ...

When a company gets a letter from a customer, it is almost always negative, and rarely offers suggestions or ideas, with the exception of suggesting where the company can go, etc. Forums such as this one offer a company a treasure trove of input, an idea of what their most enthusiastic players want and don't want, and a way to discover in advance whether a planned product improvement is what the actual customer actually wants.

Please don't discourage them from exploring what we have to say. At its core, a "forum" IS the place for public exchange of ideas.

We may be a teensy portion of their customers, but we're the ones with the microphone. Anyone who wants can join us, and after today's quest, ALL players know there IS a forum.

I like knowing that they are given the time to get their heads out of their code and hear the humans. It must be fun for the programmers to know that what must be tedious work on their part is generating so much excitement. :)

I LOVE when they get all snarky at us.

An insult and some replies had to be deleted.

Maybe a supplemental DVD. They could put it on next year's spinner wheel. Instead of cash. Snarky forum posts.

Let me see if I read you correctly, please bear with me here. The core of your complaint is you believe Ea should develop a funner game with decent updates and ignore what the players are saying about the game in places such as, HERE. First of all, the mini update for new years was extremely minor, just a lil something something which happened to give us 10 FREE DONUTS!! Since Halloween we have had 3 major updates, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. All 3 had LOTS of great new content, adding to the FUN of the game you so desperately seek and lest you have forgotten tons of FREE DONUTS for Halloween!! What part of the game is not fun for you OP? The copious amount of free stuff EA has given us these last few months? Perhaps its just the dialogue which has your panties in a bunch. Oh I know you want more land I bet. Maybe you were hoping, nay praying for level 38? I for one find it humorous they make jokes at whats happening here and at Reddit because most of the recent posts here and there are extremely joke worthy. MODS Forgive me if my words offend (I blame the Baileys) but it seems to me the only butthurt out of touch party here is the OP.
Happy New Years to All of my TSTO Family, which even includes you OP

It will be premium, though. We have to make money here, somehow. :mrgreen:
