i'm getting tired of this

Excellent! And you are right. We need to overwhelm them with negative threads. Having one thread with a couple hundred posts in it doesn't reveal anything. There are SO MANY individual screwups in this event. The thread titles are in their face, not buried in other threads. Maybe eventually EA would come to the realization that a huge number of people have valid complaints. Individuals. Each being screwed in their own way.

I posted this in another thread but I belive it is that true it needs to be said here
I have just realised something. Now before I start this i am not having a go at the op or any other person who has complained.
There are people with real problems in the world and yet people here feel the need to complain. You are all lucky to have the money to get a device to play the game on. Some people would give allot just to get the cash most of is have spent on the game just to buy a warm meal. So instead of complaining about a free update on a free game think about the people who have a real reason to complain but most of them don't.

Good rant. I agree and understand your frustrations.

What's even worse - and I say this as a freemium player who has no intention whatsoever to spend money on this event, since I don't want to play EA's game - is that, even using hundreds of donuts, one has a fairly good chance of missing the rare prizes.
I've read way too many posts by people that have bought as much as 500 to 700 or more donuts worth of eggs and are still missing Shary!

What if the OP gives hundreds of dollars each month to feed starving children and homeless cats? :roll:

You can use this reasoning for most complaints people have in first world countries. It doesn't mean that customers shouldn't hold companies to a decent standard. Let's say I bought a cashmere sweater at Banana Republic and it had a hole in it. Should I just say to myself "well, people are starving in the world, so I shouldn't complain"? No, I paid my hard-earned money for that sweater and I'm going to complain because that company accepted my cash and gave me a product that was sub-standard. The same reasoning applies here. Holding a company to a standard does not mean that one doesn't care about poor people. I can complain to the company AND donate to charity.

I see what you're saying but if people lived like that they would never feel they could complain about anything because there's always someone worse off than yourself. You can't live life by that logic because it's not a realistic way of seeing things. If someone who loved died would you say "I can't complain because I have the rest of my family whereas somewhere in the world someone has lost everyone in an earthquake?" No, you'd still feel bad for your own issues.

But the update isn't that bad. If it deleted everyone's town and forced you to buy donuts I would agree but it doesn't.
