I don't mean to go off on a rant here, but the fundamental flaw with these posts is that EA is giving out exactly what everyone wants - more free items, characters, and buildings, yet that doesn't seem good enough for some players. The operative word in the last sentence was "free" for anyone not with me thus far. There are roughly triple the number of prizes compared to previous events, and there is a chance - A CHANCE - to get them all for free. Despite this people are still bad mouthing EA about how "unfair" this event is and how they "expect" to get the prizes, and we're only halfway through the event.
You want to play a free game with no in-app purchases or prizes you might not win but feel you are so rightfully entitled to? Try solitaire. Or go throw rocks at a can in your driveway. Or play the quiet game.
I'm perfectly happy with the prizes I've gotten for FREE by playing and enjoying this GAME. I know many others are as well.
Of course that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.
That didnt sound like a rant at all. But the fundamental flaw with your statement is that it is founded on that statement that EA is giving out items for free
I've placed a screencap of their event "Guide" below. Apologies for the huge size..
As you can see, Their own instructions tell us to "place baskets in our towns ...yadda yadda". There are only two ways to obtain baskets. The number of free ones is kept to an obscenely low level. The other method isnt what you are referring to -- the 10- donut basket. It was only the first of many insults of this event when they did not give any indication that a 10 donut basket would only collect 400 donuts. At any rate, 10 donuts aren't free. So I know you weren't talking about that.
EA is doing nothing to fix the baskets that don't work. Some of those were " given" by EA "for free". Gosh. Thanks, EA. (and we won't even bother to discuss the broken ones that cost donuts)
Their other instruction states that we will use the eggs "To win exclusive prizes". Their instruction does not say to use the eggs "to have a chance to win exclusive prizes" ... Several people have saved up 500 blue eggs to buy a gold box and "won" 250 blue eggs. The only "exclusive prize" they "won" was a big f-you from EA.
Many forum members are quick to (fairly) point out flaws in many events. THIS event does not HAVE flaws. It IS a flaw.
