Whats the point when they actually fix the fab egg glitch so close to the end of the event?

There is no point. That's the point... Well, the actual point is to sell more donuts. But no love for me - many days with no fab egg or baskets with 600 donuts spent so far.

I can see it now... Four or five EA Executives - VP or higher - sitting round a table in a private conference room out in Redwood City. Glasses of iced double malt scotch on the table, the condensation from the glasses creating rings of water on the table. Rolling big fat cigars between their thumb and index fingers, the smoke wafting up only to be blown about the room by the ceiling fans.

"My wife wants a third Botox treatment" says one. "My husband is taking 'tennis lessons' and I need to hire a private investigator" says another. They look at each other, realizing they need more money. One Hundred Million Dollars just isn't enough. "I know", says one while taking another sip of scotch, "Let's drastically lower the odds of the Easter event games of chance so we can sell more boatloads of donuts!" "EXCELLENT idea", says another through a cloud of cigar smoke, "Get the developer who suggested games of chance instead of simply earning prizes by accumulating the event currency - you remember, the one who chose the putrid shade of green for *. Paddy's Day water - and have him change the odds to a negative so that the harder our 'customers' try, the LESS likely it will be that the dweebs win an item." "Great idea", said the VP while googling 'private investigators' on her Blackberry, "that should generate another Ten Million dollars!" "I think you deserve another One Million dollar bonus!", said the first VP. "Million dollar bonuses around the table" said the CFO! And they all put their feet up on the table, leaned back, took another long draw of scotch, and laughed at the dweebs.

THIS +9001! I might add you are a heck of a writer, with a fine turn of phrase. If you write this creatively on a forum, you might want to investigate the possibility of doing it professionally, if you haven't already. I entered this thread to sign in, but I felt obligated to comment on the quality of your writing. Beauty. But, I digress. MusicBooks960 signing in. I too am getting screwed. If EA is aware of this problem, why have they not yet fixed it? Either they are incapable, or as your eloquent scenario dictates, they just don't wanna. I hope everyone will join me in saying: "I'm gettin' real tired of your crap, EA!".
