    I could live without it. At first I struggled to get anything, but eventually got the three things I wanted most: Father Sean, The Blocko Store and Johnny Fiestas - I managed to clear my common boxes, amazingly. Like everyone else I have a pile of fences and gates and trees. I don't mind the beach towels, they add some much needed variety to the decorations. I've been spinning like mad to get Bart Jr. and Chirpy - the only item in my uncommon box I still need. I can live without Hugs Bunny and Shari Bobbins, the only two items I need from the golden box since I didn't think I'd get jack when I started. I'm mostly freemium (I spent 25 donuts for pink eggs during this event - got fences and gold eggs for those) and quite pleased with how things turned out for me, though, based on my forum lurking, I can definitely see why many people would want to see this event extended.

    Edit: Oh, and I got the Banana Dictatorship somehow too!

    I'd like to see it extended. I still haven't got the Blocko Store, or even the Egg Council Guy.

    I'd like it to be extended. They've extended pretty much every other big event up to this point...
    There are still several of the big prizes I still don't have, but I want the Blocko Store most of all. All my efforts have been going towards getting the darn thing for about 10 days now...
    With my luck I wouldn't get it even if they extended the event.. :?

    Each day of Easter Event makes me thinking about quitting more and more. Put it away, EA. It's bad publicity to have an impossible event.

    As much as I hate his event and wish it was over, I would like an extension. I still haven't gotten any prizes from my uncommon box (good prizes) and only got one banana dictatorship, and hugs bunny from gold egg boxes.

    At this point I'd settle for for Johnny fiestas and one more character, but based on how this week went I really don't know how good my odds are.

    NO! I don't have nearly anything good and just want this horrific incident of terror over with. Mostly because of the feeling after tapping for 2 days to finally get a basket that gives me eggs that gives me another basket that gives me...fences. Ugh. :roll:

    Would you consider a system wherein they incorporate the items from this event into the FP progression? Since you may already have a few interspersed that are in the progression, youd automatically skip to the next in line.

    EG FP Level 9 is Banana Dictatorship ...
    FP Level 10 is Bunny # Whatever
    FP Level 11 is Johnny Fiestas


    Yadda yadda, through all the significant Easter Prizes.

    If I already have Bunny #Whatever, I automatically skip over Level 10

    Once the top level is reached, we go to the random-free-donuts way it is now ... I cannot IMAGINE what nutso who already has everything would resent this. Free donuts? Cmon! (Full disclosure: I already have everything. Mmm. Donuts. Free donuts.)

    It would be a long schlep for some to get all the prizes. BUT AT LEAST THEY KNOW THEY WILL GET THEM.

    (My son's town doesn't have Stampy. But we're plodding along. We're getting there.)

    Any thoughts?

    Nice! :thumbup: you might still get Bart/Chirpy.

    Extended! I know some ppl are frustrated with it, but that happens every event really. And once its gone, we're back to having ppl complain about being bored inbetween level updates with nothing to do. So the event is at least SOMETHING that is going on, AND I, and many others, need LOTS MORE TIME (at this rate) to complete the event and get the items.

    +1

    I wouldn't mind wasting more time on this event for nothing in return either. Beats doing nothing at all, nothing at all, nothing at all....

    At the rate I've been getting eggs they would have to extend it until next May for me to get Father Sean or Shari.

    I have the Banana Republic, Blocko store, and the lizards. I'm saving up my blue eggs for the end to try and get Johnny Fiestas. If I can at least get that, I'll be reasonably satisfied, even with all the problems.

    Just hoping the next one is better.

    If they don't extend it, I hope they at least allow us to play a couple days after the update removing it appears in the app store. During last W-Day you could only play for a couple of hours, but during the Halloween update, you could play for a couple days, if I'm remembering correctly, before it forced you to update.

    I would prefer it to end.

    HOWEVER, given the number of issues people have had with it and the fact some ppl are only now starting to get the good prizes. I wouldn't mind if it extended for those people.

    The only advantage to me at this point is the double cash I get from the friend visits giving chance to buy the SF land strips (like 4-6 million left of land) and build up my squidport tiles (only started TSTO earlier this year around the vday).

    This event needs to be killed with fire, terminated with extreme prejudice, and then stuffed in a sack and thrown in the river.

    Just make it go away.

    Actually, that sounds like a good plan for the EA honchos who came up with this crap.

    No. It needs to end now. I want the forum to return back to normal. To much, negativity, hostility, and rudeness. It hasn't been a fun place to visit for about a month, if not longer. EA kill this event already. Where are all the fun regulars that have good things to share and talk about, seems they've been replaced by mean, and aggressive people, who just want to chew off anyone's head that doesn't agree with them. It's become an uncomfortable place to visit.
    Why does this place seem to constantly have these same issues. There's always been issues, but they were always some positive and fun people sticking around. Now it seems like there's nothing left.

    This was mentioned in a thread I made, and I love this idea! I'd be extremely happy if they did this! :D
