Is anyone else losing interest in the game?

I've spent much more real dollars on this game than $300 ( I stopped smoking and collecting SW toys, so you can imagine where that money has been going), and I was playing every day. Since the update that fixed the Thanksgiving quest, my game is, to me, unplayable, due to a very annoying lag when tapping any character in SF (KL doesn't seem affected). Now, I only turn the game on to see if it's fixed and clear handshakes, and then put it back down for the day.

I've contacted EA throughout the years when I have an issue I can't fix, but that process of communication is not always good. I don't have to constantly contact Bethesda or Rockstar for their games, so I've given up on EA.

I find the longer this bug lasts, the less interest I have in the game. If the bug lasts for longer than another week, I believe my addicted spell will be broken, and I'll be able to put the game down for good. I don't play any other mobile games, so this would give me several hours per day back to do with as I choose.

OP, I hope you enjoy your next game. :D

I get bored with the game at times. It's pretty boring right now. I had high expectations for Black Friday and was disappointed in the sale. Hopefully they add a fun twist to Christmas to keep people logging in and everything isn't premium.

Damn, how is it not fixable though? Sounds like a problem with your device

You're probably right. I have a Galaxy Tab 2. My wife has a Tab 3 and does not have this problem. I bought my tablet specifically to only play Tapped Out. Still debating on putting more money into another tablet for this time passer.

Thanks for the tip, neighbor :D

I feel the same. Perhaps it’s the demands of real life or that I have no more space to express my creativity.

What I have enjoyed though is the new sysyetm of many updates and daily dialogues during an event. I’ll know for sure on whether I’ll quit or not at some point in a few months.

I know how some of you feel. I've spent some money on this game and at times can get pretty stale but so can anything you've been doing for years. Black Friday was stale but I got everything I wanted so nothing wowed me. I honk what's * me off is the over priced tags. 200,250 for a mansion and a ship that has no character with it. Thansgiving mini update was nice and was a nice surprise to go with a great Halloween update. CoC & Easter should go into the NEVER. AGAIN. PILE.

How is using donuts to buy premium items taking the easy way out. That's like saying using donuts to speed tasks up is cheating. I don't understand why so much negativity towards using donuts. I'm not addressing anyone in particular, but I have read this before, and it has baffled me why some feel this way. Do you also consider house farming and taking advantage of glitches the easy way out or cheating, just wondering. If people don't use donuts, there most likely wouldn't be a game anymore.

I feel like house farming and taking advantage of glitches is a cop out by players. Though to each their own. I know I've used glitches before so I can't say it's totally wrong. As far as using donuts to buy premiums goes. I think if you have the money then why not? If you pay real money then you'll get some extras. There's nothing wrong with that. Well unless a person starts feeling entitled. Though lately I haven't seen that on here which is awesome.

What I don't understand is why anyone would habitually speed up every task to get things they'll get anyways. I've done it once in a while, but only on extremely rare occasions, and if I had spare donuts. To do it all the time seems like a huge waste to me.

back on topic. I get where the OP is coming from. This past year hasn't been keeping my interest very high in the game either. I still play it daily, but at this point it feels more like a habit. Maybe that will change with the Christmas event.

While I go through periods of lesser interest in the game when I might log in only once or twice per day and slack a bit on things like neighbor visits, I wouldn't say I'm anywhere near losing interest in the game completely. I spent hours and hours and hours as a kid playing the SimCity games, so what always gets me interested again is finding an area of my town I want to redesign - recently it has been nuking Krustyland and starting over with that now that I have all the buildings. I just wish it didn't take so long to get enough tickets to buy all the land!

I really hope Barry has a tapped out renaissance - his posts add too much to the forum for him to retire!

And he has one of the very best towns! C'mon, Barry, check those Cyber Monday sales for a tablet upgrade!
