complaint about complainers
76 posts
Now we should all start complaining about the people complaining about the complainers complaining. :P seriously though, I also liked the event for the most part, but I like to see the positive anyway. The odds are low, and your chances of getting good prizes drops after you can't find baskets, but all in all I enjoyed the event. There is definitely plenty to do, and the good prizes are worth the effort, and some of the gag prizes are still nice to decorate with.

Some people got lucky and now they get to complain about complainers.
I was gonna say the same thing
(Annette pretends she didn't copy/save it within 15 seconds of seeing it the first time eliansukke posted it.)
THAT is the reason I stopped playing at Xmas, it would have been me and my iPad...
Ultimately, companies (EA included) want to attract and retain customers. Without the customer, the company will not survive. Happy customers spend money and all is well. Disgruntled customers complain and ultimately move on. It's fairly simple. Take care of your customers or you're out of business.
I can see that several of my level 39 neighbors gave up before the level 40 update. Many were folks that had paid bucks to play...they had several premium items, etc. EA has done quite well with this game, but if they continue to be unresponsive to their customer base, they'll end up with nothing.
So let me get this straight. I want understand your logic for a moment. Every event EA has made didn't require time to be spent, and after almost 2 years they finally decided, we need these month long events to have things to do. I'm sorry but that just sounds absurd.
I don't think you realize it, but that was an insult to EA, and the players. :roll:
EA could care less about us "having things to do." If that's what they cared about they'd not have speed up options for REAL MONEY. This event is nothing but a scheme to rob people, and EA makes it's money on fools like you. I get being a completionist and all, but even they have the sense not to defend EA's bad decisions.
This.
Lucille Botz can go in the villains category & Molloy can join the Oldies category. Both will be great additions. Lucille Botzcowski can come with the Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers Babysitting Service
If Molloy is added he could have this task
Also he'd bring a group task to dig for treasure
How could you have enjoyed everything EA and the Simpsons creators have brought us in the game, if you joined: 02/01/2014?
If you had played the last Halloween update (and WD) you would be swallowing your words right now. Those were the awesome events.
But I understand that EA is trying to make every event work differently
Yes, I see your point, but please consider what it is like to be in the shoes of a player who has not had a basket in 12 days. I have not been able to earn enough eggs to do much of anything. At most, I am able to open a single gold box every 24-36 hours. This is primarily because I have no way to receive eggs from neighbors.
Having no baskets has made achieving prizes basically impossible without using donuts. Some of us cannot or will not do that, for a variety of good reasons. As this board proves, even spending real money hasn't improved some players' odds very much.
For two and a half years, I have been willing to "spend time on it," grinding to earn prizes. I did very well, and almost always earned everything that I wanted. However, this current glitch, combined with an unrealistically difficult set of chance requirements, will prevent me from attaining the goals.
From that perspective, maybe you can sympathize with those who feel the need to vent.
Well said, bra sagt!
Although I think EA can ride a lot on the Simpson brand for this particular game. Simpsons fans will play just for the fact that it's the Simpsons... And if the bad reviews start coming in, they can just abandon the game. They've already made their millions. And it's mostly the Simpson brand that will take the hit, not EA.
