Festive Hats

Ye and I bought Duff Center Arena which drops 200 santa hats every 6hrs.

Nice showoff thread, bro.

Ironic coming from someone with that signature, I doubt this is also a show off when people I know have way more hats than me, maybe instead of trying to get attention for yourself you would perhaps participate in telling how many Festive hats you have since it is Christmas, the time of sharing and caring.

I think it was your use of "only" which sounded braggish, even if you have some neighbors with more (surely you know if you have big d'nut spending neighbors or ones who use "means" to get further along...

again. start a thread asking about hats, no problem
start it with a "oh look at me I only have 50k when most people have 10% of that" doesnt sound very christmas-y either.

That, and I never could understand why anyone would want to spend real money in order to rush through an event as quickly as possible. This event is barely 24 hours old. I have a couple of neighbors with more than 50K hats too and they have every single prize, every single craftable, and 100% of the SH 2 update completed. All of that progress took major donut rushing and what is the point of that?

It's a legitimate question. I really want to know. Why spend all that money when all you would have to do is play the game as it was intended to be played and you would get everything you currently have for free?

Like the OP, these people aren't "spending" money. They have acquired donuts, as miraclemet pointed out, by other means which can't be spoken of here on the official EA forums. :wink: OP likely will deny it, but it's pretty obvious . . .

In response to Festive Hat count, currently I have 0.

I visited you this morning and was like WTF, SWK.

I agree with you that the OP is obviously obtaining massive donuts by some means. I have a couple of neighbors who make it obvious they are as well. But my question is really, why rush it? What fun is that? Why complete everything in one day which is supposed to take 10 days? The OP also has a Hot Squishy stand at level 101 according to another post.

It just doesn't make sense. But to each their own I suppose.

Heck, I thought I was doing good getting 4200 hats already lol.

I'm working on a project in a side town and want to get it screen capped with the fall colors - hopefully I'll be done tonight and can start this event soon after. Mark, you gotta be at the deco limit, no? Your town has been full ever since we've been neighbors. Even after I update, there's not a lot for me to do - 8500 limit is mocking me. Hard.

As far as busting through everything in one, there isn't much logic to it, but I guess to each their own. I also imagine people like this also have crap towns - just hoarders looking to acquire rather than enjoy the game - they don't have the patience to read the dialogue or wait for tasks to complete and likely don't care about design aspects. Back to your question: what's the point?

think it was your use of "only" which sounded braggish

Perhaps but I meant in a way meaning that I could collect more from MerryMakers and business drops to have more, also I wouldn't have just stayed on the current amount of festive hats hence in my opinion it was the proper use of "only" but even still I wasn't trying to "brag" I asked a question but maybe some people perhaps thought of bragging because I had already 50k but as already said I got friends with more than me so I am no way the top guy with festive hats.

That, and I never could understand why anyone would want to spend real money in order to rush through an event as quickly as possible. This event is barely 24 hours old. I have a couple of neighbors with more than 50K hats too and they have every single prize, every single craftable, and 100% of the SH 2 update completed.

Simple answer is perhaps because some people are impatient, I didn't spend any donuts and waited like everyone else till about level 20, but sick of constantly waiting. Let's be honest would you rather wait a couple of seconds or hours? So I decided to invest money into this game which I think isn't nothing wrong. Since I donated the donuts I just decided to rush all the missions. True it has been barely 24 hours old but I want all the new stuff right now instead of having to wait. Plus I am basically making up for loss time for other events which I have missed which was a lot. So the point being I couldn't handle having to wait and wait so I just rushed it all.

I spend my money because I have some left over to spend on the game, technically spending donuts is still playing and also already mentioned I am impatient. And the game was intended to be played the way you want the way you wanted to make your Springfield. I chose to build my Springfield with donuts, I don't see the problem.

Like the OP, these people aren't "spending" money. They have acquired donuts, as miraclemet pointed out, by other means which can't be spoken of here on the official EA forums. OP likely will deny it, but it's pretty obvious . . .

True I am not spending money but rather donuts which I bought with money. "Other means" basically meaning a credit card.

I have a couple of neighbors who make it obvious they are as well

No point being noisy, if people choose to spend money on a game they let them do it, if you don't want to spend money on a game and rather be a so called "Freemium" for what ever reason this nickname was made then so be it, I am not judging so neither should you.

Anyways if we could go back on topic, hence it was a really simple question which escalated for some unknown reason. Thanks :)

Currently have 3342 hats and I've also got the duff centre and built the other building too but I'm not even close to what you have, congratulations on your amount of hats, guess I'll have something like that amount in a week or so.

The duff centre is pretty handy, giving 200 hats every 6 hours. So what I did was I put my Simpson house far away from my main town with no buildings/road around and placed any buildings which gave Festive Hats around it. Since the Simpson house is the main attraction for this story line every time you go on Simpson Tapped Out you will start at the Simpson house, and from there I collect all the Festive hats around it every 6/8hrs. I also had both teleporters so I placed 1 teleport near the Simpson house and the other one in the middle of my town making it easier to go back and forth without constantly scrolling. I am just unsure if my friends are able to use it, in case they can't drop presents.
Also if you finish the current main story line you get around 16k or so Festive Hats, and after a certain amount of hats you will constantly get "Bonuts" every time you reach 4k hats again and again.

Hi my name is "Hackney" and I offer everything you ever wanted in game for the low low price of "other means". I'm 100% legit ask anyone like him or her, you can contact me at don'ttellEA@watchout.com.
