Good evening. In the past few hours and the hours to come, tappers from here will be joining others from around the world. And we will be launching the largest tapped out holiday event in the history of tapped out kind. Tapped out kind. Those words should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty need to collect limited time items anymore. We will be united in our common interests of playing this game and having fun. Perhaps it's fate that this is the Easter event, and we will one again be tapping not just for items, but freedom to enjoy this game from tyranny, oppression, or anxiety and stress from not collecting everything because we have to. We should be tapping for our right to have fun. And should we win the day, tapped out will no longer be considered "work" or a "grind" by some forum tappers here, but as the day tappers everywhere declared in one voice, "we will not go quietly into the night! We will not get stressed out and think of this as a fight!" We're going to tap on. We're going to have fun. Today we celebrate...another day of tapped out.

I don't know if this has been said because I didn't read every post due to the all the whining. But I wonder if the OP considered the reward for completing tasks. There are roughly 20 tasks and if each task produces 250 eggs, that's 5000 eggs. Also, there are eggs to be earned doing tasks with Homer, Ralph, etc.. I wonder how many boxes that is when you figure all that into the original math?
Believe me, it's all in there.
BLUE/PINK EGGS (across whole event)
*Characters (Homer, Ned, Ralph, Nelson, Moe, Crazy Cat Lady) = 6,245 eggs
*Tasks = 4,500 eggs
*Friend Visits = 16,200 eggs
*Egg Generator Gift = 3,150 eggs
*Carrots = 1,260 eggs
*Rabbits around Town = 7,776 eggs (at max)
TOTAL = 36,701 eggs
GOLD EGGS
Add 6,500 gold eggs from B/P boxes (36,500 /500 x45% x(100+300)/2)
GRAND TOTAL = 43k eggs. Give or take with the baskets, etc.

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

Bottom line is that this Donnelly guy regrets wasting (supposedly) $500 on the game and is trying to make himself feel "ELITE" by putting down people who have enough sense not to throw their money away for a game that's servers will likely be down in two years time.

Not normally one to rant, but here goes!! :evil:
1. It's extremely unlikely to complete all 3 Prize Boxes. Without buying anything (and based on approx 40k eggs collected - not gonna post the maths, but it works out that way), you'll get 65 spins of your primary colour Prizes, 16 of the off-colour Prizes, and 10 of the Gold Box.
From that, you'll get 4 SHOTS ONLY at the building & character in your off-colour Prize Box (they can only be won after 12 goes). Also, you WON"T GET A SHOT AT SHARY BOBBINS, as she only can be won after 20 Gold Boxes!! The 80 boxes limit until you win is a crock, if you're only likely to get anywhere near it in your primary colour!!
2. Whilst there's an incentinve to visit neighbours, for the first time there's no reward in your town for being visited!! We've had snake eggs, haunted buildings & gremlins, present drops and Valentines hearts, but this event? A basket where your friends are expected to donate (from their own stockpile!!) eggs, and get back only half of what they contribute!! Not only has the community prizes disappeared, so has the sense of people working together for mutual gain of their own individual prize goals!! So much for being a social game!!
3. How often can you get prizes this event? Xmas - between 5-8 spins a day (after completing the personal prizes). Valentines - 5 spins a day. Easter? You'd be aiming for 2. That's 2, less than half others!!
4. Either the cost of the boxes is too high, or the yield from tasks etc. is too low!! 80 spins/boxes to complete 1 set of prizes? OK, I could deal with that. But 3 separate sets, ALL with 5% or lower probabilities to earn non-decoration prizes (except the Gold Box building, but even that's still pretty low)?!
EA is either exceptionally greedy for donut purchases, has "jumped the shark" with this event, or is so poor at maths that they're oblivious to how badly they've stuffed up. Unfortunately the numbers don't lie, and unless you're looking to buy 14 sets of 5200x2colours eggs packages for 100 donuts each, you're outta luck.
Never has an event been so slanted towards paid currency. I wouldnt be so angry if the money-grab wasn't so blatant and in-your-face!! :evil:

As much as I'd love to discuss this with you more, I'd like to end this pointless argument. Tho I would like to end of on one note. No one is stopping you from having an opinion. Even Hitler had opinions, but that doesn't mean all opinions are right. When your opinion is so backwards that someone has to call you out on it, it has to show you something. Again I do apologize if I was douschy to you, but I'm a very blunt person, especially when I see something that just doesn't make sense. And finally there's nothing to brag about if you spend money on this game. I love how you assume that because someone doesn't spend money on this game that they are broke... I mean come on, really? :roll: Some people know how to spend their money wisely. (My opinion)

Ummm, you tried to start with me. But, have a good day!
Oh, and the Hitler comment came too early. You're supposed to save that for last, lol. Anyone know what that law is called? At the inevitable part of every argument where one opponent is running on steam, the slight or major comparison to Hitler or Nazism will be made. Well played little guy :lol:

Using Hitler is just the easiest example, and one that's recognized by everyone. You really need to stop reaching. I noticed I'm not the only who called you out either... It seems your letting your pride cloud your judgement.
Also can I ask why you seem to like to call people little guy? If you think it makes you look bigger I assure you it doesn't. It makes you look like a douche. It's funny how turning into a hypocrite works huh...
You know at this point I'm just doing this for my amusement :lol: if I learned anything about people like you is that when they try stick in so many personal attacks even after a truce was proposed, they are usually boiling inside. I must be really p!ssing you off huh? I never knew a "little guy" can p!ss off someone as big, such as yourself :lol:
