Greed has taking over!!

It seems that our Springfield friends are holding back gift bags? 2 items so far?! Halloween you can see the number counter fly!! Moving so fast! Why is it that this time around it's slowing down? I dropped all my gift bags all the time! Don't blame your not getting gift bags to drop off to your friend because I always have enough.

Could be the people with hundreds of friends? If that's if then EA needs to fix that! But it's to late.

We won't see all of those items at this rate....that counter is so fearing slow! My title of the post is meant for EA not for tappers! Just want to make that clear.

Its the droprate of the giftbags that is the issue.
On Christmas its rumored to double, which is why most people are not worried about it.

Halloween counted mass dropped goo(which is gift cards this time around).
Remember how hard it was to get gremlins? Gift bags are the new them.
This is why it seems to be going "omg! so sloooowwwww....".

EA saw the error and significantly dropped the goals for the final 4 prizes for this event.
(A drop from 2.4bil to 1.1bil iirc)

Some people have said they are saving them to give 5 to every neighbour on Xmas.

Also I think that the value of them doubles at Xmas or we get double the gift bags.

Something like that but not sure

We'll make it with days to spare. http://tstonews.com/xmas-2013/

Also, according to spAnser's counter, we will get the final prize in 10 days time at the current rate. That puts us getting it on January 2nd, 5 days before the event end.

RE: doubled bags on Christmas...I'm sure the devs have taken this into account, especially after having run a similar event last Christmas, but I'd expect the total number of players and amount of time spent playing to drop significantly over the next two days while people are having their holiday get-togethers and whatnot. I was thinking maybe that was reason enough to double up on Christmas: to fill the gap left by absent players.

is it just me that can't see spAnser's counter properly?

The times are displayed, but just completely wrong... for me it's saying it's still 7 days to get santa's workshop (which we got the other day...)

no, looks like that to me too

It's working correctly for me, it's 2 days to get Ebenezer Burns, 7 days to get Yes Man, and 10 to get the cooling towers.

Why is everyone so concerned about this?

Play the game and we get them or we don't

I am just playing with the assumption that we will get them. If we don't get everything there is nothing we can do about it as long as we gave away all the gift bags we got.

That's strange... it seems that some of us can see it properly and others can't...
Gonna try it in a different browser and see if that helps.

...and thanks for letting me know the dates :)

You're welcome! Maybe try clearing cookies too. That could cause issues.

Linguo! No!
