Mixed feelings.

I've been playing the game and checking this forum for about 18 months and have been jealously looking at all of you oldschoolers' towns, items and especially your conform-o-meter multiplier bonuses. (that "how much % do you have" poll from a good while ago made me feel like such a noob, lol)

So ever since i caught up to the max level (+/- 10 months ago), all my (freemium) donuts have been going towards upping my multiplier and i felt prouder and prouder as it went up. It felt so rewarding every time i bought a 40 donut item, and it was a huge incentive to keep playing and reach that 100%+, bonus pro status.

Then this tenniscourt farming happened and as brilliant as it felt at first, it now feels like a glitch/cheat and i really don't like it. Even though I've added a massive amount of percentages to my total and finally got to 100,50%, i feel like I've not earned it and those months of earnest, hard work have been pointless at this point.

It's like you're a poor teenager who's trying to court a beautiful girl for a long time, and after spending tons of effort, time and money trying to get in her pants, she tells you that she's become a prostitute and says she'll make love to you and all your friends for a cheeseburger.

I would really appreciate a reset that just makes everything right, just delete all courts and give a x amount of "sorry we f***d up" donuts to everybody affected.


This is coming from a guy with under 2 million cash and tons of (very much needed) land to buy.

I totally appreciate you've tapped back into your conscience.

I too am not concerned with gaming the system to increase my multiplier. I never even look at what it is and have no idea where it is at now.

My goal is to build the most creatively designed freemium town i can and to have fun doing it. The challenges that exist, whether it's redundantly collecting money or the limits of design mechanics, are just part of the feeling of success when they are overcome.

Now, if for example, you design a multi court campus at the country club, and use the features to enhance your town, great. But farming simply to pursue money = giving into the cycle of rushing game play then clamoring for new content. That's classic addiction behavior i don't want to emulate. Plus, it looks crappy. House farms (and now court farms) are boring.

Some might enjoy accruing money as fast as they can. I don't live life like that.

I'll earn all my land squares in time...
