Love the game... But it's really not ready for release!
Funny thing is, I rarely have any issues with the game. Any online type game will have server load issues from time to time.

Er... Are you an EA employee? Your responses seem to hint at being so?
Haha no, thank god lol
LOL. :-)
Simple solution: don't spend real money if you are worried about something happening to your game. I disagree that you are "encouraged" to buy donuts. How so? There is not a single task in the game that requires you to purchase donuts to advance in the game. All of the donut items are extra, fun items. They do not make or break your game.
Fair point. The game is considered a "Freemium Grinder" though. The way it's setup is to make progression easier if you spend money.
From where I'm standing, if you have a good game or app, I don't ind paying for it. This game started out this way for me. So I've bought donuts to support the game. I had the occasional disconnect initially (and small issues occasionally I can live with) so I had no problem spending money - I wasn't worried to start with. I mean, EA - big company, can be trusted, eh?
Issues have been gradually building though - to the point that the game is no longer playable. Therefore the money I've spent to progress and build my game with has been wasted if I just walk away now.
Imagine buying a DVD then having the store knock on your door a week later and take the DVD away....
Of course, if EA communicated with me within the timeframe they've set for themselves and told me they will then that would be a little better.
I'm a techie. i understand that issues occur. I understand they can take a little time to resolve. A company of EA's size and fortune though should be able to release and operate this game in a better fashion... Or at least talk to their customers about the issues a bit better...
