Bonus donuts are just that a bonus not you right to get them. What EA chooses to do and the effect it has on getting donuts is entirely their choice/oversight, so stop complaining and be grateful that we get any at all.

I'm quite surprised of your answer. I just want to give an opportunity for people like me who feel like having back our previous chance to have donuts can voice our opinion. You are probably among those who kept writing donuts are too easy now we have too many etc... But I do not agree with it and thought it would be good for people who felt like me to also have a chance to voice our opinion. Yes I bought donuts too but Bonuts always makes me feel more inclined in buying more premium buildings /items so I will be more inclined in buying more donuts. Removing virtually all our chance to get donuts during this event due to glitches or designs is discouraging for me, probably not as much for those who can spend thousands of real money on the game. I hope people who feel like me can speak up too so EA won't feel like it is a consensus that every player finds its too easy to get donuts now. Thanks.

Sure, they added the Rail Yard (giving some of us 5 donuts a week) and they added Maggie's minigame (giving us around 3 donuts every few days), and they gave us Daily Challenges (giving us 1-6 donuts a day when Events aren't happening), and they just had an event in which many players got LOTS of bonuts, and they retained the occasional Sideshow You donuts, and the Daily Challenge bonus prize is either more donuts or a mystery box that might contain donuts. But if you ignore all that it's clear they're removing our chance on getting donuts!

We certainly will be "losing" donuts for this event, from the perspective of opportunity cost (I've gotten very little donuts from daily tasks due to all the event currency rewards). Not complaining or feeling a sense of entitlement, but like the OP I am certainly feeling the lack of donuts/bonuts this event.

There is no need of sarcasm. Maybe you guys are still getting donuts. For me, my friend visits won't give donuts from tapping bandits, my Maggie is glitched, Railyard is limited cause my characters are doing event jobs, daily challenges give event currency, sideshow you wasn't giving donuts, so tbh I haven't seen donuts almost since the event started (maybe only once for daily challenge reward before the mystery box) in the past 2 weeks. It is really good for you if you are still getting lots of donuts. But it is totally different for me. We just had an event where everyone had tons of Bonuts? I didn't have a lot. Was it a glitch I missed? Anyway, this is so strange. Sounds like I'm the only one not getting almost any donut since the event started? Everyone is still having tons of them? Then no wonder EA needs to nerf it. Thanks for your input. But if it is the contrary, please voice too so I know I'm not the only one who had almost no donuts for the past 2 weeks. Thanks

Just between where's Maggie and the rail yard you should have no problem doing 10 a week.

I would have thought that many of us would enjoy more donuts and as we speak up EA may consider giving us more Bonuts or at least give us more opportunities in obtaining them in future events, if not at least do not cancel our usual ways in obtaining donuts, such as friends visits or most daily tasks now. It is such a surprise that this thread ends up with most (thanks to those who aren't part of this most) people all announcing that they had enough donuts. No need for more. I agree that we are getting more than before now. But on the same token most items (even ones sold before) are costing more donuts now (inflation in Springfield?). While I also buy donuts, I still enjoy earning every single free donuts. Why can't we as a tapped out community work together for something that may benefit everyone? What does it earn you or your game to tell "oh we don't need more donuts" ? For me, it would be nice for everyone to get Easter eggs/ Bonuts/ money bought bonus adding items (eg cows tongue this time) etc. What do you think?

Ea produces games to make money, they make money ( for tsto) by selling donuts if nobody buys donuts the game will go away. If you want more drop a few bucks and support the game.

Agreed. That is about what I am averaging a week also. Friends visits seem to have dried up for the time being. I am happy with whatever we get. I have been here since the first halloween event and getting free donuts back then almost never happened. I believe EA has been VERY generous with donuts lately.

Keep tapping and watch those donuts build up.

My opinion isn't exactly form the bonuts exactly but there's no real incentive to continue playing after you get everything!!! I mean sure you can horde currency for the next time around but it's also still doable even if you didn't horde the currency....my problem right now is the fact I think Android screwed me on a carp load of badges this time around by not synching right plus everytime they came along with an instore update it would make me reinstall.... I think I will still et last prize but cause of the carp glitch I'm going to be cutting it very freaking close....

I really freaking hate not being able to cuss on here..... :roll:

They won't get people to buy donuts if they can't people tapping. Bonus donuts give people reasons to log in regularly. They could price everything high, and give no premium currency away for free like a lot of games. But then the studios that produced those games usually go bankrupt, so it is a terrible business model.

Yes your right but remember they are still giving free donuts just not as many during this event, that said the number is way higher than this time just a year ago. I have done nearly 50 since this event began. I just don't under stand why people are complaining all you lost during the event was bonuts from friends visits. Big whoop.

Friends visits AND daily challenges. By cancelling non bonut rewarding daily challenges you could usually rack up at least 4 to 5 prizes a week (anywhere from 1 to 6 bonuts each). Not even counting the lack of bonuts at the end, that's still a sizable chunk out of what we get between the events.

That's not my complaint though. With no bonuts or crafting, that leaves a mighty boring lag between finishing one stage and the next stage beginning.

and that's what im talking about, I really don't care all that much of the donuts exactly its just hard to stay interested after I get the last prize.... :roll:
