I didn't think the Easter event was a "debacle", but the worst thing was the lag. Game wasn't even playable. Oh and we got 20 donuts out of that.

I picked other. The time it takes EA to fix the problems is my problem. The Harp of Death lasted months, MONTHS! It's a big mistake not taking these problems seriously and pouring all their resources into fixing them. Repeat customers make business.

The wrong town glitch is the worst. It affects money spent and basically allows someone to rob you. Otherwise, i have to go with this latest constant crashing. They just had us all on their good side with the successful stone cutter event. All emotional scars from easter were healing. Everyone is on board with visiting neighbors regularly. Then boom. Back to being sick of this game because it feels unplayable. And no communication, like they are working on it. Terrible.

Handshakes from friends not showing. A couple of days I've had no handshakes at all and the most I've gotten is 5.I'm at max frick points, but since the update haven't gotten even 1 bonus donut. I've contacted ea but gotten no response.

Here's my two cents on all the options-Dimming the lights on the Nighthawk Diner is not that big of an issue for me now that I finally have it. -Level 42 bought me two of my most requested characters, though the price of the gold house was insane (and yes I DID still buy it).-The decreasing amount non-voiced characters IS getting annoying, but it's still better than nothing. Some of the characters were guest stars and others are not voiced by the main 6.-I agree the game is getting more expensive but it doesn't really affect how the game plays so I'll let it slide.-I never tried the Nuke Button in the beta phase so I have no opinion on this issue.-I never had to deal with log in issues aside from seeing the annoying Bart screen once in a while before getting in.Personally, it's a tie between the wrong town glitch or the lags after Easter. I chose The Wrong Town Glitch because people are constantly losing their hard earned donuts or having their buildings and decorations sold and moved around. I was lucky each time it happened to me but it's still a headache that needs to be resolved. The lags were second because it took forever to complete anything from clearing tasks to visiting neighbors. It was more of a huge inconvenience than a real problem.

EA's biggest mistake other than the Easter Debacle

The TOS say no class action suits, just so you know. Clever of them.

Perhaps not as clever as it seems. It is very possible that would not be sufficient for them to sidestep liability that simply.

Courts have been known to be fickle.

What exactly is your source for this -- there's quite a bit of inaccuracy here.

I believe her source is "years of experience." What is yours?

Definitely the wrong town glitch. It is so unacceptable to have something like that in this game. Judging from the lack of any horror story posts since the Stonecutters update, I feel comfortable that it has been fixed now, but it took ages to get there.

If EA had even subpar support capability, the problem wouldn't have been as horrific. Players like me who had their towns messed with and/or donuts spent experienced the double whammy of having to jump through hoops and wait for weeks for a resolution.

Ah, allrightythen... the funky Friday 'lets get pissy thread'... :P
I suppose 'fortunately' for me the main darn thing is the relentless log in-connection/ friend visit issues :x

That said, obviously the most serious item though is clearly the wrong town glitch, & most points made here are all solid.

The two that really bothered me were the Valentine's wheel and the game crashing after visiting too many friends in a row.

My vote is for having a forum for so many people to whine and complain about small, meaningless issues. It's a game, it's not life!

The documentation of the wrong town glitch is plentiful. They have admitted their knowledge of the existence of the glitch. They have done NOTHING.

How do you know they have done 'nothing'? That's a bit of a stretch.

I've had a number of glitches, including a couple nasty ones not listed in the poll. However, I count myself lucky for never having the wrong town glitch.

The crashes and all the lag and everything with After the Easter Event.. I had dealt with that for 2 months straight, then they fixed it, then BAM it was right back where it was before.. felt real nice barely being able to play on my 800$ device..
