I got ripped off 8 doughnuts :(

I recently logged into the game. I've had 8 doughnuts, I used then to finish my pink house, which was successful. I bought a golden ticket, won 12 doughnuts. Then I went to the shop to see what 12 doughnuts cost compared to the $ I spent on the golden ticket. Well I pressed the back button on my Note II, which refreshes the game. The game comes back up saying purchase failed like normal, but my pink house is no longer built, and back to saying 12hrs remaining. I only have the 12 doughnuts I won from the golden ticket.


It seems that nobody ripped you off. If you are doing stuff like going back in browser history and doing refreshs you risk that stuff like that happens.

BTW: speeding up the build of a pink house seems to me the worst way of spending donuts.
  • Lol or not...when you are at the point of putting in your password to complete a purchase. You have no choice but to hit the back button, they don't put back arrow there or anything to cancel. You make it sound like I'm actually going through my browser history and I'm not, there's a huge difference. So really, your post was pointless except to attempt to make me feel stupid. Which you didn't, it's a programmers error. So next time, do humanity a favor, and try helping someone, instead of "attempting" to hurt them. As for where I'm putting my doughnuts...that's on me ;)
  • Haha its all good man, you didn't hurt my feelings. You just sounded like you were trying to be tough, so I had to toss you a guilt trip haha. Thanks for the link though! I'll give that a shot when I'm out of work.

    Worst reply ever. Next time just move on and don't waste people's time leaving a reply. If somehow hitting the back button cost him donuts, that is an EA problem. Not his!!! How can you blame someone for using their device normally and having something go wrong. Just ignorant.

    brakemynek - Not sure what exactly happened. I might be able to help you figure it out, PM sent
  • For future reference, it's always best to sync the game after every donut purchase just in case. You do that by clicking the Bart/Milhouse button to go to the friend towns screen then pressing again to return back home.
