Unhelpful help from "friends"

before you get your undies in too much of a bunch, many times I go to peoples towns and those are the only items to collect on. So really, this is what is worth complaining about...

Well, have fun with all that...

^^^THIS^^^

I laughed for so many reasons reading this thread.

I try to be a good neighborino. I vandalize, tap high-earning buildings, refresh wilted crops, and spend time looking around. It makes me a little bit sad to pop into my town after 8-12 hours and find all of my cheap buildings tapped but very few others. It seems improbable that ALL of my friends visited me within 5 minutes of me loggin off for the night and therefore only had the cheap stuff available to tap. My game will go hours and hours without my (centrally located) public buildings being vandalized.

I think the friends who were only visiting my Springfield to snag hearts are probably the ones who might not know the best ways to help their neighbors.

I have never considered unfriending anybody for what they do/don't collect on. However, I would prefer that my visitors would make vandalizing the highest priority during the "non-event" periods. Gotta keep that Righteousness score up!!

To all those who don't understand how the social aspect of the game works, the visiting other Springfields thing, and insist on collecting on the Simpson house, Flanders house, the Brown house or the Kwik-E-Mart, I'd much prefer you go away, unfriend me and never have anything to do with me ever again, rather than outright insulting me by saving me 45 seconds, 10 minutes, 5 minutes and 3 minutes respectively for single-digit (or close to) amounts.

Uhh, yeah screw you dude. Most of us here have the maximum 100 friends. Do you have any idea how much time that would take to visit every single one of those people and take 5 minutes on each one? I'm glad you asked. 8.3 hours. That's a full time shift just checking out Springfields. If you want to do that go right ahead, I've got better things to do today.

Oh and by the way, if people aren't spending much time in your town, maybe that's your fault. :wink:

Please, 5 minutes? It takes 30 seconds at most. I always look around and try to find spray cans, and then high value buildings. It's the brown houses that really bother me - really? That was all you could find to click?

When i get bored, i tap. When i get bored of tapping i come on here and listen to people moan about what people tap on :mrgreen:

It actually irritates me when people click on any of my higher level houses for example, because the way I lpay is making sure all blue houses end at the same time so I can collect all at once, and white's, purples etc. When someone swoops in and ruins my sync I find it really plays havoc with my OCD! lol

Swings and roundabouts though eh :) It's always possibly to tap on the higher valur stuff though - I thought that you could only tap on a building where the rent was available for the town owner to collect - hence why the simpsons house, brown houses, Kwik-e-marts and Krusty burgers are the most commonly tapped - because they roll around again much quicker...

LOLZ! I thought I was only one who had this issue XD I feel your pain tho
