They should have taken 5 donuts from us. That would really have gotten your goat.

Boohoo, another complaint. You don't like it don't pay and support the game! :roll:

I appreciate free donuts, whenever and wherever I can get them. I'm a freemium player. Without free donuts, I wouldn't have any premium stuff.

Should I be grateful for the 5 donuts?

Why stop at a hundred? A thousand donuts for premium players, maybe a massage?
Hahaha and I'm really confused why anyone would hate someone that doesn't spend money on this game

That would be so amazing. Wouldn't that just make you feel so awesome for having your town remain intact because you spent lots of money on a game while those who played a free game for free have to redo everything? :roll:

i think it should be the other way around.
the people that speed up everything and then complain that they have nothing to do. (well here you go fix your town)

Now THAT'S a good idea.

The one reason I don't pay for doughnuts is because I don't advocate EA's pay-to-win approach to this game. The premium items you buy with doughnuts do give you a competitive edge over those who don't, and that isn't fair when you're playing a game that is based on achieving goals and arguably strategy. Valve sells cosmetic premium items in their Mann Co store for TF2, but none give you an unfair advantage for winning.

Erm ... Pay-to-win? Competitive edge? Are we talking about the same game here? There is no "win" condition in TSTO, unlike TF2, so I don't really see what your issue is. There is no way to win, so choosing not to buy donuts puts you at no disadvantage whatsoever.

Or have I been playing the game wrongly for the past 18 months?

Premium items and characters gives you larger XP/cash boosts that you would otherwise not have. This permits you to finish quests more quickly and also to buy very expensive buildings/decorations much more quickly.

Exactly.

Well it's not like you buy donuts. I find it funny that you have the blackhole and supercollider all of a sudden when you did nothing but moan when those items weren't re-released over Halloween. I'm onto you..
