moral dillema about eggs suddenly appearing in neighbors

mamaog02

What effect does their game have on you? If you agree with whatever they're doing simply de-friend them and go about your own game. Why let anything so minor impact your emotions lol. Plus they don't visit so make room for people who will help you get your Easter stuff.

Just leave them be. If they bother you remove them and stick your name in the add me thread to replace them.

Sorry but reposting this in correct forum, I originally posted in FAQ and guides by mistake. So I have a couple of neighbors that have not participated in Easter quest until this morning. The issue is that they have about 100.000 eggs overnight, all the premium buildings and tons of prizes from the gift boxes. I know people buy donuts and speed things up using donuts, but I think they would have had to spend at least 500.00 dollars doing this, I have a funny feeling these peeps hacked donuts to get there huge jackpots.Question is can they be turned in to EA for investigation? Should I just mind my own business or what. Just makes me angry that they got everything overnight. But then again what kind of pleasure are they getting out of the game. Any suggestions. PS these players also never visit.

$49.95 buys 900 donuts
100 donuts buys one silo of eggs.
900 donuts buys 9 silos.
One silo of eggs contains 5,700 pinks and 5,700 blues (total = 11,400)
Nine silos contain 102,400 eggs.
So 102,600 eggs costs $50. Not $500.

Just sayin'

They may not be hackers

I believe you meant to say *disagree* FTFY, but aside from that, preach on! you are 100% correct! Sound advice all around. I cannot fathom the idea of hacking the game, in any way, and despite having spent probably a thousand dollars on this game in the last six months (Quite literally, and before anyone wants to call me out on it please understand that I lead a very sad existence, and this crappy little broken game is one of my very few pleasures) it still hacks me off when I see towns that I believe to be hacked (99,000 eggs? O RLY?). Having said that, I'm just happy to have a full quota of good neighboreenos who always have eggs for me to tap to get those few precious eggs for my town.

I love this new math. Thank you for figuring this out for me, because even if I had've been thinking about it, which I wasn't, I possibly wouldn't have figured it out anyway. On the other hand, curse you for forcing me to contemplate how many eggs I could buy with my few remaining stockpiled donuts. :twisted:

I have a neighbor that had a very large amount of eggs appear overnight (seen below). Either Donald Trump plays tapped out or they hacked their game. Doesn't bother me in the least. Kind of funny seeing such a large amount of eggs actually. Like others here have said, if it bothers you having a neighbor like that just unfriend them.

You're talking to a person who spent real life money to buy pretend donuts so she could buy three pretend silos so she could get roughly 35,000 pretend eggs with which she could open pretend blue and pink boxes, desperate to win pretend gold coins just so she could try to open a pretend gold box because more than any other prize she wants the imaginary priest because of his tagline "I know they taste like crackers but they're really His body" so that she can achieve passive-aggressive revenge for all those miserable decades of wearing Catholic school uniforms.

In short: The nuns made me do it.

And they're grinning from their graves. The priest is the ONE prize I do not have. Swear to God.

As the earlier math stated, this pic is worth $250. I don't see why it must be hacked. A lot of people could spend that without even thinking twice

I never said it must be hacked. You are absolutely correct they could have just plunked down hundred of dollars for the event. Some spend quite a bit of money on this game. It was just surprising to me to see these high amounts compared to all my other neighbors who have much lower amounts of eggs (myself included). They may have purchased all those eggs or it could be a hacked game. I have no way of knowing, which was partly my point to the creator of this thread, but if it bothers someone just remove the neighbor. As for me, I only remove neighbors if they are inactive for awhile.

well speaking for myself I hate people who do this cause it does effect me when I go to their town and have nothing to tap cause they only come on once during the event, get everything then never come back for over a month

AJtheboss1

You see the problem is even if EA does something about it they'll start a new account and get everything all over again.

neuroheart

If they never visit (or, more importantly for this event, never have anything to tap on) just unfriend them. I think that's really the most important thing, whether it's a hacked account or not. I have a neighbor who is obviously playing a hacked game, but they also visit me regularly and generally have a LOT of stuff to tap on because of all the huge farms of things. Occasionally their town crashes my game, but I have neighbors with more reasonable towns that also sometimes crash my game, so I think that's just what can happen when a town gets large. So, ya know. I understand the reaction of, "well why don't they have to work for all this??" but they're the ones taking the risk of accounts being compromised, the device being compromised, or whatever else might go wrong. That's up to them.

What I was saying is that not only did they have over 100.000eggs, they also had every premium and almost all the prizes from the boxes. It just struck me as odd, also one of them had 4 whales, they very well could have lots of money to burn and just drop a couple of hundred in one night. What I am saying is, that it is moral wrong for people to cheat and steal, if that is what they are indeed doing.

Absolutely fabulous! You are truly amazing, IMHO, and I just would have liked to catch this post of yours before I suffered the EXACT same fate (300 donuts and everything! To a Tee!) although I was just going for completion, not any specific prize. I did get the three buildings out of it (Seriously, 24 hours of build time after winning them?!? WUT?) but I didn't get any of the major characters. Including the priest. But, you know what? If I had gotten him, I would wish for a way to gift him to you. Thank you for being so brutally intelligent and bringing several smiles to a cynical face.

1 of my neighbors has 10 whales

Although i don't play with any hacks, I have a handful of neighbors I am certain play with hacks, because they have like 10 items that were only given out, and you could not buy them. For instance, someone has 10 Homer graves that were just given out last week.

It does not bother me one bit. Because it does not affect me. If that's the way they choose to play the game, so be it. It's not like if I was playing a FPS game, and someone had an aimbot and killing everyone with headshots. That would affect me and my fun playing the game.

So if it bothers you, just delete them from your friends list.

mamaog02

So if you have a "Suspicion" that someone is cheating in this game or life that you should just ignore it.I am planning on deleting them. It seems to be the norm in today's society, to let people get away with just about everything, which leads to more people doing it cause they can get away with it.

Maybe your neighbor had the graves in his storage?

It was possible to earn 10 Homer graves with the episode tie-in.

Err, it was entirely possible to earn ten of those by having him raid random fridges three times a day for a few days. I know because I did it. The things that generally pique my suspicion is when someone has ten whales, and a fleet of knight boats, and a giant christmas tree farm full of elf houses, etc. I mean, spending donuts is one thing, but buying hundreds of the same premium items is something else. And spending $200 on whales is mind-boggling. Maybe I'm wrong and they just have that much money, but I still don't understand spending that much of it on repeats.
