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

Are the bonus donuts in the general store locked for everyone else? I've received all the previous prizes.

Am I being an idiot? It says Day 14 (today, right?), Bonus: 3 donuts for your hard work! Unlock previous prizes to unlock Bonus. And it says new prizes appear in 16 hours.
What am I not understanding?

To me, it honestly feels like a bug. Here's why:

Typically, all recent events have had 'Bonuts' (Bonus Donuts) for finishing the Act early. Even after getting the final prize, it even says "Continue collecting for donuts!". So this is a bug/glitch as:

A: It wouldn't show the text if this was not intended.

B: This functionality has existed prior.

This to EA is obviously a minor bug, as it simply rewards premium currency. Either the text should be removed, or they need to put in the bonus boxes for acquiring said currency. I'm fine with stockpiling the resources, as it will make Act III start much quicker.

Pretty sure the donuts mentioned are the crappy 3 offered on the last day of each act.

No, as mentions "keep on earning badges for donuts" - which is the same text used in prior events meaning you win bonuts after the last prize is awarded. That last day BS is a daily prize, just like the others. That text has been in nearly event to date, and as I mentioned been in nearly every event as well (especially all of the most recent ones). So that's why I figure it's a bug on top of the pile of numerous others that have been found. This one is more minor to EA as it just rewards premium currency.

Ever heard the term, "we're running a business, not a charity"? Yeh, that.

I joined in May 2013; guess how much free stuff Origin gave us...one donut for leveling up. That's it. Honestly, I feel like it's Christmas everyday in my Springfield....EA is always giving us free stuff nowadays!

Just stick with it and your conformometer will grow...took me 3 years to reach over 259%.

I started a little before you and I stopped around January 2014, and just started up again two weeks ago and I couldn't agree with you more. It's like night and day compared to how it was a few years ago. When I first downloaded the game last week it gave me something like 100 donuts to start and I was stunned to say the least.

lack of bonuts = no motivation to play the event once all prizes are won, so no motivation to drop prospectors into neighbour town which will help neighbours

no bonuts = bad for business
