Too many phones

Definitely the new gummy bears.

Well you needs lots of picks for other stuff and you need those for phone booths too.

Even though the gummy bears were easy to get you didn't get enough for the whole event in one day.

I had high hopes, but it feels like they didn't balance the drop rates appropriately.

There's no way they could have fairly balanced the phone drop rate for every player if they made it low enough to prevent those with 70+ friends getting swamped with them then it would have crippled the chances for everyone with low friends numbers or lots of inactivates on list.

Maybe if they gave us something that we could use the extra phones for... can't even waste them on extra phone booths since lockpicks seem to be really rare.

I must be really unlucky.. I've gone through almost half my friends list and only gotten one phone so far :/

Why complain about something that makes your life easier? :roll:

That's counterintuitive!

Take what you can get and move along. Just because you got one item right away doesn't mean you'll get the rest fast.

Also be considerate of those who don't have 100 friends, and don't visit them daily. Just because we play this game like it's our life line, doesn't mean everyone else does too. :?

I'd be curious to see the percentage breakdown of how many players have x neighbors.

I'm guessing it's a low percentage that have 70+ neighbors.

I have about 15 and don't really desire more.
I know some people who are devoted players that only want (and have) a few neighbors.
Some people don't want to spend a chunk of their day slowly moving from town to town for nearly an hour.

You should be happy you reached the phone goal so quickly.

too meany phones thatfor sure, girls text over the speed of light and idk how there phone dosent burst into flames from the constant friction of the constant texting, they even have to text when with there BF or there family :shock:

THIS. ^

In about a day since getting the Collector I've gotten 19 lock picks and 34 phones. That's enough phones for one of everything on the list, but only enough lock picks for one phone – after which I'd need another 56 just to qualify for the loft. Even if I only had 30 friends instead of 100, the balance would be off.

Though to be fair, I guess it is nice that one of the items needed is easy. Kind of wishing I had saved my previously worded felons for this though...
