Ungrateful Friends give back no eggs

They can't tell who has left them though.

There's not a whole lot more you can do except add more friends and hope that they are more reasonable about sharing.

I'm not sure why some people seem to think that hording eggs and negotiating a massive trade is the path to success. I give eggs away as fast as they appear, and seem to get even more planted back in my town. The only time I'll save up a bunch (30-50) is when I want to repay someone for spelling their initials in my town.

I used to donate my eggs a couple of a time to all of my friends, trouble is, by the time I got to the friends at the end of the list they had all gone.
Some days I'd be getting a few eggs in return, others I get a whole bunch, but not as many as I had been donating.
I think it depends on how far down the list you are (I'm on Android). My list of friends is in a very random order, certainly not alphabetical or in the order they were added. If you are near the end of a friends list they may have run out by the time they get to you in the daily tasks.

I now have a couple of egg buddies and I am getting as much back as I donate so am very happy. For me this is better than hoping I would get some just because I had donated to some random friend.

Get an egg buddy. I'm sure they are grateful but as stated, they don't know it's you.

I'm glad you mentioned the friends list. I'm on Android, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to my list. It's not alphabetical. It's not sorted by when they were added. It's not sorted by how long it is until you can visit their town. It's not sorted by town size or player level.

Furthermore, it drives me nuts that my phone will only show 2 names per page (3 on my tablet). It takes me about a full minute just to swipe across to my last friend. The decorations menu is almost as bad. EA's always had terrible menus, though, in most of their games. I don't know why that is because most of the gameplay is usually very good. There must be a senior union worker in charge of the menus who hates showing more than 3 items/names at a time.

Ok, I'm getting off topic...

I've been sharing my eggs daily and I'm doing ok. I have decided that I'm sharing my eggs only with people who are playing and aren't finished yet. When I finish I will only share with my real life friends to get them to the duff stadium. I have been lucky with my real life friends giving me eggs but whacking everyday in friends towns has helped I'm at Willie and my real life friends without internet friends are at 1500 to 3000.

I have been saving up eggs to then dump 50 eggs per friend, but I've gotten crumbs from my friends--so maybe it's time to go the greedy route and find an egg buddy. Anyone interested? I have 400 eggs

Been playing the game since it was made available on android & I love it !
However , since Whacking Day has started it seems I'm always planting eggs in all 8 of my friends Springfield's but so far have received very , very little response (8 seems to be my Max on my tablet so far). This is a daily disappointment . Am I just wasting my eggs on ungrateful 'friends' ?
I'm sure there are others out there who feel like this .
No point , just needed to vent . Thanks .

Tye

I think this is quite common, particularly as we are coming close to the end.
I gained quite a lot of eggs at first but now get very little from friends. Many visit by evidence of the handshake on buildings and mops on public buidlings and most probably tapping on snakes in your Springfield. For example I had one egg received in 36 hours.
I still leave a few eggs with every visit I make.
A lot are now getting tired of the length of time it takes to visit, and others have an egg buddy to exchange eggs with and leave most of the eggs with them.
Very little you can do about this, but you can still visit your friends and pick up their snakes as a consolation.

I couldn't even count on RL friends leaving me eggs!

Making a feeder account to place my eggs and and having that account leave all it's eggs in my real town was the smartest thing I've done in this game. A great suggestion I read in these forums. I am at over 9200 snakes and I should easily get all the prizes.

Here is a link to that post (it's mine) http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/9437259.page

Also,would someone else please bump that thread and try and keep it up near the front. I feel like an idiot for bumping my own thread. I think it will be helpful for all those people who got burned by false egg buddies. I feel bad for those tappers
