:# This really burns me with the latest event. The first thing I did when the event started was to do Land expansion to prepare for new buildings. I used first my Free Land Tokens and filled out the Ocean areas, then a few Land parcels with my remaining tokens. When I used them up, I needed a bunch more Land to "buy" and what the heck, no problem I had close to $200,000,000 - no problem right ? Wrong ! I can't buy Land as in the past, only wait for the VERY FEW Free Land Tokens to show up as the game proceeds ! Wish there was some kind of heads up. Now I am stuck with no way to expand.

I'd be fine if they would let me buy tokens with donuts. At least I could make progress.Cash is basically done in this game in terms of usefulness.

To a limited extent. I have thousands of donuts and more than 3 billion dollars. Can't spend it faster than I make it. Hence, useless.

Granted, but you’re in a relatively unique situation with that sort of surplus. For the vast majority of players the statement that igc is useless simply doesn’t hold true.

Why bother making it then? Now I only ever send my minions on event related tasks, everyone else just waddles around. I have no need for more money (got 800 million, that's heaps) so no need to send people on tasks. Saves a LOT of time. Then if I want some cash I'll send them off but generally only those used in events are busy.

Because tasks and building generate XP also which provides a steady stream of donuts. It pays for event specials and other goodies without depleting my donut reserve.

Land was the last item which actually made a dent in cash. Hence my original comment.

I don't think my situation is that unique. Plenty of players achieving high output after playing for years. One need only review the multiplier thread to see.
