Good post and I wanna say that I checked out your Springfield panorama and it's so well organized and overall just really awesome!! :shock: :!: :thumbup:
Thanks! I hope to keep the creative juices flowing that's if EA can release some land so I can keep it up or else I might just start to break stuff or cram stuff in which I think loses the point of creativity. :(LanceUppercut808 wrote:
I do have to completely agree with you about the multiple threads.. if people would browse at least the first two freaking pages of the forum before posting a new topic, there would be soooo many less duplicate threads. I just can't fathom going to an internet forum looking for an answer to something and not even bothering to browse the first two pages. Even worse, lately it seems like people don't even bother to read THE FIRST PAGE of the forum before making a new thread.
Ok...end rant. As you were.
Spot on. It's like they have more time to post and wait for an answer when an answer could be right there.- I respect your post but I laughed for a long time when I read "understand the tranny we are under." I understand what you're getting at, but a little proofreading will prevent distractions from your point.

I don't have a problem with this at all. Knowing what we like and don't like, what we are and aren't willing to spend real-world money on, helps the devs make more money, sure. But it also helps them make the game better for us by giving us more of what we clearly like, and less of what we clearly don't.
I don't mind spending real-world money on the occasional donut splurge, because it makes the game more fun for me and compensates EA for this excellent game, from which I've gotten countless hours of fun. Considering the many $50 - $70 console games lots of people buy and love, I really don't get why some people---and I'm not saying this is YOU, OP---think it's some kind of rip-off to spend real-world money on an app they get just as many hours of entertainment from (if not more: my son typically 'beats' a console game in less than a week and I've been playing TSTO daily, nonstop, since July).
I also don't know why so many people---again, not saying this is YOU, OP---seem to think there's something sleazy about EA setting up incentives in the game to get people to spend real-world money. It's a great game, the devs deserve to be compensated, and it's entirely possible to play the game without ever spending a single real-world dollar and still complete all the mainline quests. It's not like those so-called "free" apps that have pre-determined limits where you eventually hit a wall and stay stuck until you fork over real money. :roll:
I'm one of those who spent donuts to get extra tokens, but I went into the Christmas update expecting and planning to spend real-world money. If it warms my cockles to see my little Springfield all done up in Christmas lights and snow people, if it amuses me to have Plow King and Mr. Plow duking it out, it's money no less well-spent than the money others might spend on console games, amusement park tickets, gambling in Vegas, nightclubbing, concert tickets, or any other kind of entertainment. :)
I can agree with you re: not feeding the trolls and not duplicating threads. I haven't been playing long enough to relate to the land shortage so many long-timers are frustrated with, but I expect I'll get there eventually. :thumbup: mwilsonsix wrote:

You had me right up until you started judging people for the way they play their own games. Then I just thought you were a douche. indieauthorALH wrote:

Very well thought response.
Too start off its way deeper than just knowing what we like and don't like. There's a bigger agenda.
I agree spending some money is not that bad because of the longevity this game can have and entertaining as well as the frequent updates compared to other games. Just like if you have a hobby which you know you spend money on all the time if you can get a break or deal wouldn't you go for it? Just like any kind of entertainment as you stated, same thing applies here. :mrgreen: Some people have been playing since day 1 and those people SPENT a lot of money on this game. Me on the other hand I started in FEB and I have still spent a fair chunk of money in this game :oops: so I can't imagine how much these day 1 players have spent. All I was saying with the wheel spin thing was, is if you where playing as long as a lot of other players you might want to start evaluate what you want to spend your money on or not or how you spend it. If you can get it free why not because that was EA's way of making more money knowing that we can get everything in the wheel spin by the end of the event but they knew some people are impatient so why not make some extra money was probably on their mind. I think everyone went into Christmas update knowing they are spending donuts exactly why you should spend wisely. EA knowing this took a chance to milk it. :D And the way the first couple of days went they probably made more money from the wheel spin than the actual items with the update because people got frustrated and kept spending donuts on the wheel spin. If they would have sold those items individually it would have been a one time buy. But the wheel chance is just genius. Just like going to AC or Las Vegas. The house will always win unless you play smart. :mrgreen:fishingguy73 wrote:
I agree with this. I joined the forum to get info on playing the game. I am surprised at all the complaining about, well, everything. The FAQ and guides section is really helpful to know who to have around to do the next quest. I personally do not spend any real $ on this game and still find it fun. Had I chose to spend it, I guess I would be a little more picky about some stuff.
Same here, I joined the forum to get help and ideas
Totally can not understand why anyone would complain about a post ....
You know , if you don't want to know don't read...der
Keep up the good work guys, you too Josh..keep stiring the pot...lol
