Your thoughts on no event doughnuts.

There maybe no donuts put the chance to get free premium items is great the Totem with a 2.50% multiplier would cost 60 donuts but everybody gets it for free and the chance to win the snowmen (I have) which would cost 160 donuts if boutgh in the store and Mr Plow which was 90 donuts last year and the ice god would cost like 45 donuts in store. All of these would cost 355 donuts

Right, but many, like me, would spend their donuts in other items never on those items.

Totem was a Community Price and the King Plow skin can only be used if one is willing to spend 250 donuts (unless got las Xmas for in-game coins)

Free donuts are more interesting.

I have only bought donuts once, almost a year ago. Even still, event donuts are relatively worthless IMO. Grind my fingers off for a month for what, 30 donuts? That's insane! I'm no completionist, I will only play as long as it is fun for me.

That was a major con in that system. I tried to get all the doughnuts I could, but at the end of the event I had to take a break for a day. I was burnt out.
The wheel could've been a good way to get doughnuts though... Well ya know instead of the 1000 money prize. Most people are loaded anyways when it came to that.
Just a thought I guess :)

Exactly. The only prize I was super excited about was the dancing-Buddha-esque statue for my temple. I don't think I would have paid donuts for any of the others. (Probably not even the ice statue, to be honest, but I would have been more tempted)

Thirty? I got 145 during halloween. Basically got the ray gun for free.

Same here! I ended up getting 137 doughnuts and somehow won 30 from a mystery box and ended up getting Frinks Lab. Not too bad IMO.

I haven't gotten but maybe 2-3 donuts this whole event. I ended up buying some so that I could get the grumple. Other than that. I haven't really gotten a significant amount through the event. I have cleared the wheel already though.

The wheel > donuts, IMO. You get a lot more extra items ("premium" no less) with the wheel than you would by working for donuts, especially considering the ridiculously inflating prices.

Also, I kind of don't want to obsess over the game to the very end of the event. I like taking a break. And, again, for actual, paying players, bonus donuts are probably not worth their time.

Of course, the best solution is a wheel with a chance of getting donuts; but, I'm not getting greedy. Any event with just a wheel and no donuts is 100% fine for me. This thread should have a poll.

You're right I should've made this poll. :oops:

I'm in the same boat that I played the hell out of Halloween for the aspiration of donuts.

I think it would be a good move on EA's part to have that more because it gave a sample of having donuts, so once you get that taste of some cool items, you'll probably want more and more likely to drop some actual money.

It describes my thoughts of EA perfectly

That's true! But they give us doughnuts when we start playing the game. I guess they figure that, that'll be enough of a taste. Kind of a bummer tho :/

We got lots of cool free stuff. :) i don't buy donuts but I've saved up nearly 200 (193). Tbh prices have gotten so high a few here or there doesn't make much difference. Plus Halloween was pretty free donut heavy so I'm not complaining

Yeah iam the same an optimum freemium player. The problem with saving donuts is, it takes so long and with what you have there what 193, there isn't much to get really is there?
