I think it's funny how people are so short sighted. if something doesn't appeal specifically to YOU, then it must be crap, and to heck with anyone else who may like it.
SH gameplay is completely different. But It's ok. Play it if you want, or just ignore it. What? you have an icon in your task book? boohoo. Simply ignore it, like i ignore this golden bear i'll never eliminate.
Some people want to play every hour continuously. SH is perfect for THEM. I don't prefer it but it's OK, there's still stuff i enjoy.
Some people wanted a "collect all" button. The IRS building came out for them.
Some people wanted a "task all" button. The UE building came out for them.
In both instances, supporters of those ideas said "if you don't like it, just don't use it".
Same goes for 10 identical buildings. If you only want 1, then only display one!
If you don't like it, cool; you're entitled to your opinion. but don't second guess the game designers, like you're confused the game isn't tailored to your personal preferences.
just keep calm and tap on!
