I am beginning to hate every time a task pops up that involves sending every Spirngfielder to do a task. It wouldn't bother me so much if I was able to send all my characters on tasks using the unemployment office after the 5 requested Springfielders are sent to satisfy the quest task. But c'mon already, 300+ characters is time consuming. Plus if you send everyone, it could crash your game when you click on the thumbs up when it's completed. I know the simple solution is only send the 5 and leave everyone untasked but I'd rather my characters earn their keep. Anyone else annoyed by it?

I send 5 and then rush them with doughnuts. I hate these tasks as much as everyone else.

I'm weird and enjoy tapping to put 300 plus characters on the quest. Them all coming out of the same building makes me giggle and tapping on the long string of thumbs up ... well I find it immensely satisfying :p

I feel you but my phone is new/really fast so it's fun for me and I like having everyone in the same place 4/8 hours later.

The simple solution to this issue is to provide a "Send All Available" option on the task window so that every character not already busy will immediately go do that task. I don't mind having all my peeps doing one thing but as the op said, sending them one at a time is a major PITA.

I've just had to accept the fact that rushing these things with donuts is the price I have to pay to keep my sanity intact. The Park Engineer my seem cheap at 65 donuts, but he really cost me 113 and I'm ok with that.

Enough With The "Make Springfielders" Tasks!

Since I keep my Springfielders always doing a task that requires all characters, I feel like I really can't complain. Luckily I am able to send them from the unemployment office or I wouldn't bother. I generally just send the minimum to get the task finished. If the donuts amount is small enough, I just use donuts to speed it up and send people back to their normal tasks.

I kinda like this idea indeed.

Maybe EA planned this and they don't see it as a waste... *points to nose*

Nah. It's fine. Tapping a bunch of stuff on a screen every once in a while is not something I should let bother me.
