I'm not visiting anyone anymore, I'm not even visiting my own Springfield so I suppose my neighbours will run out of eggs to tap on. I'll pick it up again in a couple of weeks, when this madness is over, hopefully the inevitable extension to this hell will be over by then too. Good luck to everybody still searching for that elusive Faberge egg. Me - I'm out!That actually sounds like a very healthy response to what this event has been doing to a lot of us.Hope you have a better time when you return. :)

Good luck to everybody still searching for that elusive Faberge egg. Me - I'm out! Can't say as I blame you. Even as a premium player, this update sucks. Very little anywhere on this forum has anything good to say about this update, and I've been amusing myself by posting text wall responses in all the rage threads. It's pretty sad when I find more joy in this forum, than I do in the game itself. Here's to hoping they don't decide to add insult to injury by extending the duration of this huge pile of crap. At least then, hypothetically speaking, you will be able to return to your game, with at least some semblance of normalcy. Good luck, and best of wishes.

heres what I dont understand...why not just play as you normally would?

I stopped playing it for the most part and only clear the handshakes in my town so my friends can still collect from it. If I knew at the beginning of the update what I know now I would have never wasted my donuts on it

Yea yea we all hate the update but stop complaining please! It's very tireing to see all these threads :/

I would recommend not opening about 90% of the threads. The more threads and complaints the better the chance EA will see how pissed it's customers are

There's probably 30 or so people on my friends list (or were on my list, I've deleted some that haven't played for weeks) that have taken the same approach as the OP (or quit entirely), which has made it more difficult for me to collect enough eggs to get more prizes.

But these wheel of chance/randomized prize events are just maddening. It wouldn't be so bad if so many of the prizes weren't so useless that it just feels like a kick to the groin when you collect an egg pile after hours of bunny zapping and egg exchanging.

At least get rid of the decorations that serve no purpose after hitting it once. One pond, one gate, one egg pile. That's fine. Hit them once, replace them with 250 pink or blue eggs or donuts. Remember when events used to reward us with donuts if we finished early/succeeded?

I enjoyed Whacking Day's prize reward method (not necessarily the collection method) where you just had a running tally and you got prizes as you hit milestones. At least you knew you would get the prize. This is just a cheap stunt to drive you to buying donuts. Not going to work on me. Not a chance. In fact, I'm far less likely now to buy donuts than I ever was.

And it's not like EA didn't see this coming. You can bet they included the donut bonus for 50 fences because they knew people were going to be irate about collecting so many decorations and getting nothing for it.
