Let me start this by saying I'm a grandmother, so I think I've experienced much of my life as you have, Emymarek721. And if some think my post is too wordy, sorry, but I won't need the critique. If you don't have the time to read it, you won't need to take the time tell me.
If I may summarize your OP (which I enjoyed reading, btw), this quote is what your main point is: "I just wish that the complaining about not getting enough for free would stop."
That I agree with completely. It would be like someone going to Costco (a club warehouse in my area) and complaining about the FREE food samples: not large enough, not good enough, not enough variety, not what one likes.
But what I think many posters misunderstand: This is NOT really a free game; just like Costco is not in the business of giving away free food. Sure the game is free if that's the route you choose, and I find it's much better in that regard than most other freemiums, as you can actually stay with the game for as long as you'd like without ever having to spend money to continue.
But the focus, the raison d'etre, of the game is to get players to spend money - just like Costco wants to entice their customers to buy the food they've given out as samples.
I am a premium player, and have spent over $150 on this game. Of course it was my choice and I wasn't forced into buying donuts. The one, overwhelming complaint regarding this event is that when money/donuts were spent, we got a chance at a prize, not a prize. In fact, not even a close chance. I have been playing and paying money on this game since December 2012, and this is not what the game had been in the past. It would be like going to Costco to buy food and suddenly having to buy a chance at food, and then not even get the food I needed or wanted. Sure, I could walk away from Costco and go to Jewel or Whole Foods, but before I left I sure would make my complaints known.
Complaints about not getting enough for free are hard to stomach, but it won't have the slightest effect on this game. But the premium players, those that financially support the game and therefore any future events or levels, have plenty to complain about.
My biggest fear about this game that I have financially supported is that they are running it into the ground to get the last dollars they can before making it so frustrating and impossible to continue playing that we quit them before they drop the game from their servers.
