EA's crappy maths is ruining this Event!! (rant)

Ea's bottom line is to make money.
So of course they are going to make the odds far out so that you need to buy donuts and put more money in their pockets.

If this becomes their method of business they won't last very long...

Do you really need to be reminded about how much people were whining about this at Christmas? And in the end most people got everything, at most missing one or two.

I agree after collecting a bunch of eggs today I only had enough for one spin from the blue box and I got... a fence. Even though we cant get every prize there is still one thing Ea can do. For major events like this they usually like to do a minor update near the end and with that update they can make all spins 250 eggs instead of 500. This way we will have more of a chance of getting the good stuff.

LMAO who got everything? Just because a tiny percent of players got everything don't mean everyone got everything.

Hell if people hadn't made a big deal about how unfair that wheel was half of the people who cleared the wheel would've been one or two good prizes short of having everything... So please do tell who is everyone? :roll:

They will last just fine. People whine on this forum no matter what EA does, so how will it make any difference? From what I can see, EA's only "mistake" is giving us as players TOO MANY available free prizes to get them all without spending donuts. This is quite possibly in response to the complaining during the Valentine's Day event about getting many multiples of the same items after the wheel was cleared, i.e. that there were TOO FEW prizes for the length of the event. Given the vast differences in how people play this game, there is no way to get it just right for everyone, is there?

I totally agree with all the negative feedback about the update... its horrible how EA is trying to make money out of everything during the last events...
I miss the "old" days with whacking day and treehouse of horror (they even gave us donuts back then)
:cry:

EA won't be making many friends with this event, which is clearly forcing your hand at buying Donuts to get some limited time items. I'm sure I'll miss out on some things, and it'll stink, but there's no way I'm giving in. I'm not falling for it.

Also, 180 Donuts for Crazy Cat Lady? Lmfao. I love their pricing. Hahahaha.

EA is a multi million if not multi billion dollar company. They will be fine. Trust me. They got so many other games they make lots of money on, not just this one.

Uh. What? Here are three threads I found in the first three search results with over 30 pages of people talking about clearing the wheel.

Daily players with close to 100 friends, which I imagine describes most people on this forum, were mostly done well ahead of time. That's assuming competence on their part though, which in this case I guess there's room for doubt. Define a "tiny percent" of players that managed to complete it.
