What happened to the days of being able to pay $1M+ for items during events and whatnot? Just finished the new Bart/Milhouse/Martin mini-questline and the prize is a cool looking battle dome for.... 150 FREAKING DONUTS. I mean, c'mon, you gotta still make it fun for Freemium players like me. Nowadays everything that's even sorta cool is premium. I know it's easier to get donuts now than it ever was, but I don't sit on my game and grind them out either. It's way too hard for me to get 150 donuts for a cool item after I already blew the others on something else. I'm just saying, seems like cash doesn't count for nearly as much anymore when it really should since the title" Tapped Out" signifies tapping items for cash to buy things. Not tapping 24 hrs a day to grind out enough donuts to buy something you want. I've been playing for 3+ yrs now and it just seems like EA is forcing me to become a Premium player just to stay on top on buildings and characters for my town. Anyone else feel the same?

There are probably 40+ great, absolutely free prizes during this event. You want everything for free?

Please read the Announcement Thread by Deadshot at the top of the page that lists all the free items ;)

I think many people are disconcerted because of the number of premium items available in the STORE. It's true, there aren't many cash items available in the store for this event. However, all of the items available via crafting are free, as are the event progression prizes.

TSTO, like any other freemium game, will have freemium and premium content, it is to be expected. Just be grateful this game is not like other games, where you must purchase premium content to get past a certain point in the game.

Sooo tired of everything being Premium

I agree, it skews the perception when most store items cost D...... But there are a lot of craftables, even if I don't count ones I had from previous years - still a Lot out there.

High cost of Donuts for cool, Wanted things is sad... And I feel that may be where part of this complaint is - things we Want cost Donuts - skull island etc.... things we get(some of which are cool, some not) are craftable or in-game cash- random grave things, bats, etc...

The only thing that should've cost cash was the dead tree.

With more new ways to earn donuts (farming, Maggie, railyard etc) means more premium things to buy (and at higher prices too!)

It's called inflation. :p

While I agree with the perspectives here, I see the OP 's point. What can a tapper who has a massive amount of accumulated in game cash spend it on? Many have purchased premium decos in order to increase the bonus percentage exponentially, but aside from the occasional release of new land or aspirationals like the giant redwood or money mountain, what's the point?

I haven't reached the point where I have purchased all available land or aspirationals, but when I do, what will I use the cash for?
