Ripped off by golden homer Buddha.

The Homer Buddha is almost always a ripoff. It's not EA's fault that people are gullible enough to keep buying the stupid things. Save your donuts and get the item you want next time.

That's the gamble you take. You get a premium item with the golden homer = the mystery box. what's in the mystery box is completely separate thing.

Ya i think a mystery box should be taken out of the buddha odds. It says a premium item everytime, so to get a parking lot is dumb. Mystery box needs to go.

I got a good laugh out of that story. I have bought maybe around 8 or so golden homers. I got quite a few premium trees and benches which I wasn't crazy about, but then I got Hans Moleman and Frink's Lab. So 2/8 times I got what I consider a great premium item. And considering 8 buddhas cost 120, Frink's Lab alone was more than worth it. I would just say you had some really bad luck there man. It did play by the rules, a mystery box is a premium item.

So I spent 15 valuable donuts on A golden homer Buddha. It gave me a mystery box (which is only 6 donuts). Inside that was ONE section of god damn Parking lot worth $175. Seriously? Between that and the server near constantly kicking me off, I'm gonna pretty much be done playing this game. I realize EA is in it to make money and I completely agree with that. But $175 section of parking lot for 15 donuts? I am not going to sink one stickin ' penny into this game.

Yeah I know your pain. The other week was my weekly "misery"box and what did I get? Mystery box-mystery box-mystery box-Buddha=bench with jacket. Now surely when you get 3mb in a row then a Buddha you would expect a desent prize wouldn't you? Bloody ripoffs ! Man I was peed off

I must admit, the weekly mystery box has become better in the last few times for me.
although I got only picket fences and a bench with a coat, but they are still items that costs donuts.
Don't waste your time on homer budhaas.

True, but it would be nice if the items you get were at least close to the value of the Buddha (since it is 'real' money you're spending on it).

ive never gotten anything good with the Golden Buddha. Ive gotten a TON of stupid fences, burning shrubs and parking lots and the benches. WTF. lol

It does seem unfair that the mystery boxes are 'premium items' and fall under what you can get from a buddha. I know you have to pay donuts for them typically but it feels like a blatant downgrade to non-premium items.

Think I bought one and got a premium flower planter... not worth the donuts but that was my own silly choice and at least it was a premium one so I won't complain, but if I got lumbered with a parking space, it'd be a different story!

Been there, done that ... one time mistake and won't happen again. :oops:
