So I guess premium players get punished once again.

    Really, I can't understand why you're getting "your panties in a twist" :?: Big deal, you've already got them. It's a flash sale, you need to take some deep breaths. EA are converting more players to premium, which in the long term pays for more levels/events. Yes they could have had Gil begging around those towns which couldn't take him up on the offer, but they didn't. Lighten up fella it's only a game…

    I really like him begging, unfortunately as soon as you click on him and see his offer, whether you buy or not, he goes to the sell menu and never appears again in your town - till next offer I guess.

    Miss when he kept wandering around your town for the whole time of the offer as he used to.

    I wouldn't know since he doesn't appear in my town.

    Well, that might be because you give your money to EA as soon as you can and don't "stagger" your shopping. I am not that rich, so I shop 'slowly' and hope for bargains to come along. And so Gil always have some to offer.

    If you're trying to get sympathy about not having a lot of money it won't work. Go complain about your salary elsewhere.

    I wonder how old you are because I imagine you as an 8 year old who can't stop complaining! :-\

    I don't understand why you're going nuts over my wanting to see Gil.

    wait, i think i get it. Josh, you're not upset about the sale, just that you don't get Gil wandering around in your town, sale or not, right? Ok, that I can get on board with. I would have liked to see him, too :)

    Exactly. He can beg anyway. Or he can have some happy animation that I already purchased the characters. I like having Gil in my town.

    I didn't get to see him because I had the cannon and krustylu studios but if you really want to see him just log off and play anonymously either way he's only around until the dialogue finishes

    I want him in my town. Not in the anonymous town.

    The more * you do, the less likely we'll get another sale. Then you'll * about not getting any sales.

    So sales are dependent on how much I complain? Cool!
    This is the first post that has made me actually laugh out loud on here for a while. Too bad I also have the flu and was drinking coffee. Josh, you suck for making a mess.

    I have one of the offered items so I didn't get Gil, but it's not really that big of a deal...... Sometimes we've already paid so we don't get something, so? Really not worth a complaint, just means you already have the stuff. Be proud- you've got it!
    PM me- I DO need Good Neighboreenos currently

    You see him you complain, you don't see him you complain...you get deals you complain, you don;t get deals you complain...you get updates you complain, you don't get updates you complain.


    Man people have soooo much entitlement! Nobody made you a "premium" player, you chose to do so. Smoe people just hate life no matter what happens to them, you seem to be one of them. :roll:

    And they're not being punished, they got what they decided to pay for, EA didn't make them buy it.

    The fact is that anyone who can't see Gil is either a premium player or a hacker. They could have made him walk around and beg. Instead we are punished by not getting Gil to visit our town.


    Not true. I'm a premium player but hadn't purchased those things. So I saw him. Just because you have everything and didn't get to see him doesn't make it unfair...just makes you feel that way. And really...what doesn't?

    So how exactly did I say anything untrue in that quoted post? I didn't say all premium players cannot see Gil. I said the only people who can't see him are premium players and hackers. Which is true. Learn to read!

    I want to see Gil. I don't care about the deal.
