No gambling in games that are meant to be for all ages. No gambling either for games that are not about gambling. Chance based events are gambling. So that should be obviously a no go in this sort of game.
sign my name also..
... though I don't think EA gives a damn about what players think, or they wouldn't keep throwing these sort of things at us. They really have taken out all the 'fun' out of "life-ruiningly fun" with these boxes and wheels :?
I have been playing almost every day since 2012 and this event is terrible. I can't even sell all the crappy fences and ponds I have accumulated. Bannana Republic is the only decent prize I got. EA should award all the prizes when it ends in a couple days..... So frustrating. I have never NOT looked forward to playing TSTO as I have this month.
The Halloween 2013 Event was by far my favorite (I've played since the Android release which was about feb2013). Just a good simple progression of prizes, plus community prizes to make it interesting, then this was achievable enough to be able to get quite a few donuts boxes (for1/2/3 donuts). These free donuts actually caused me to buy donuts that Halloween, I bought Marge the witch and the ray gun, with the appreciation of being able to get all the free prizes, then part of the way to getting a premium item makes me want to buy the premium things. With this Easter Event I am too annoyed at how I haven't even been able to get all the free prizes to have even considered buying a premium item, so EA because of your stupid random chance events, it has stopped me buying premium items!
Although I finally got my Faberge' egg late Friday, Sharry Bobbins Yesterday and, Hugs Bunny just now, I did break down and spent 25 donuts on gold eggs.
But my inventory is chocked full of useless Easter egg piles and etc. If EA insists on chance based prizes the handling of such should be made easier in the last week of the event such as once a lesser prize is won it gets erased like the premium prizes do allowing players to clear out the box/wheel.
Im going to create a thread about this, but I just went through about 60+ spins from gold boxes in the last few days and I didnt get hugs bunny or sharry bobbins... I am livid. So, yeah, I'll sign...

Edit: I will not be buying any more eggs... definitely not a happy customer. And, considering I have only been playing a few weeks, that is not the way it should be. If I spend money, I deserve the item I'm spending for.
I usually don't bother with posting on petitions. But this Easter event was the pits. If the goal is to kill off Simpsons game, they are at a good start. Why would anyone spend money on eggs on more chances to get piles of eggs, Easter trees and beach towels?

I liked the personal prizes - they roped me into the game more and I felt better for getting each achievement.
Stop these events where you get shizloads of ponds/egg piles sitting in your inventory until forever. :evil:

There is no way that you can unlock Sherry Bobbins or Hugs Bunny even if you buy lots of golden eggs. Can't say I'm suprise how EA does these things.
