I dont believe I am "owed" a gift, i just expect there to be a gift on the actual day of the holiday event as EA has given us one every single time. I for one am happy with anything i am given free in this game. I for one can't wait til we get a event currency to donuts converter again. Been one every year so hoping its soon.

I'm still holding my breath hoping they give us James Polk as a character today in celebration of President's day!

They should have at least given us a statue of history's greatest monster, Jimmy Carter.

I'm glad that they gave out the train. I have no use for the hammock.Getting the train (which i didnt expect in the first place) completed the wheel for me :-)

So let me get this straight...Anyone who chooses not to spend real money on this game is a cheapskate?

Just throwing this out there, without premium players like myself, Josh, and many others, there would be no game (it would have ended by now.) We keep this game running for you freemium players. The cash flow keeps this game running as long as EA is making a profit. In the process, EA is continually smacking us premium players in the face. I have seven trains. I didn't need another one. 2.5% to me doesn't mean much either. I'm making thousands per day. Or the casual five donut giveaway when things cost 150-300 to begin with. I'm sorry if most of you can't understand this, but the day that we stop paying for things is the day the game ends and you'll fully understand.

You deserve a crown, you are a king, you are a real somebody, you spend money on a game... Let me laugh...

Let me tell you, you are not the only one paying, you are only one drop in the ocean...

I understand that EA, who is in business to make money in order to continue to make more games, wants to get more freemium players to become premium. What's wrong about that ?

Stop thinking you are higher than anyone because you are a premium player.

Premium players ARE higher than non-premium players. And those mentioned in-game are even higher than anyone else.

This reminds me of the line, from "Watchmen" I think, " Saying you are the world's smartest human is like saying you are the world's smartest cockroach". :wink:

So you're a cockroach and I'm a better cockroach?

No, that was not the point at all.

That's what I took from it.

Sorry, but you took away the wrong thing.

Asking a question like that around people that obviously have no compunction with being rude is just asking for trouble. :roll: Of course someone is going to say "yes, it does" and then you'll get offended.

Let them say yes. I'd love to hear the reason people are cheapskates just because they don't want to spend THEIR money on an online game. Last time I checked, this was a free game that offers in game purchases. Some people want these items, others don't. It doesn't make them cheapskates.

No, no, no, no. Haven't you been paying attention? It makes you a cheapskate cockroach. Sheesh. Try to keep up, will you?

People who play free, either don't have a lot of money, or have an impressive amount of patience. Or perhaps they have their own reasons. We all have personal reasons on how we play the game. Lumping all the freemium players in to one thing is silly.
