The decorations in the boxes are insulting.

Prev1
You're right on. These missery boxes are an insult!
Work to get 500 blue eggs and you're gifted with 100 golden eggs, then for 500 pink eggs you get the privilege of another box that gives you 300 golden eggs. When you get 500 golden eggs your wonderful gift are two "rainbow" fences....so exciting and rewarding! And only for 1500 eggs. Goody! Goody!

The only fun thing in this shameful update is zapping the bunnies, while imagining they are other than rabbits....


Personally I clear my town and visit for my neighbors. This trying to force us to expend $ has backfired, I won't waste one penny more in this game.

    you are preaching to the choir my friend, take a look at my results after opening 35 Boxes. I made a detailed list about 10 minutes ago. It will just break your heart. :cry:

    I'm fine with fences, lovely. No worries. Ponds? Very nice, they look good in town. Adore the trees, not a bother getting those.
    However if I get one more pile of easter eggs, I may have to say something unladylike.

    I haven't gotten any of those yet - just the Easter tree. Does the pond have a bonus payout?

    Worse than getting a box of Gold Eggs, which is hardly a prize at all, in my opinion -- more like a slap in the face.

    Is it that you didn't want to make Easter decorations available for Donuts because no idiot in their right mind would pay for them?

    I have a feeling very few people will fall for this obvious "BAI ARE DONITS" scam.

    You know, this MAY shock you, you don't have to play it and they are free.

    You know, this MAY shock you, but it's a stupid change in their idea of freemium that will frustrate a lot of people. The players they'll lose from this not-at-all-well-thought-out event will drastically offset the few thousand dollars they'll make on Donuts.

    I was putting all the egg piles in a little Easter area, but I'm thinking I may start to put them in my residential backyards, they are meant as Easter decorations, after all! May as well get use of them while Easter is still going :)

    Despite the fact I feel more in line with OP's opinion of the decorations, I must say your comment is beautiful and poetic. :mrgreen:

    Hey, that's a great idea! Hide them all over!
    I haven't gotten any egg piles. (I'm not bragging, it's more of an indication of how few blue boxes I've gotten, as it's my uncommon color. I think I've gotten four or five, mostly gold eggs and fences, with one pond.)

    I like the characters and buildings in the boxes... Yet the PILE OF EGGS are a joke, similar to the wacking day rock and stump, at least they gave us something... Pile of eggs give us NOTHING!!!

    I dont think the decorations are insulting at all.

    I think people are blowing things out of proportion.

    The decorations are very spring-like and pastel and cute and stuff.

    My biggest problem is that I want everything now and find it hard to resist buying tons of eggs.

    Someone save me from myself! :-)

    People have been begging for new decorations for quite some time. We now have a bunch that you can get from just playing the game. Now everybody is upset because they aren't the ones they would have chosen. People are never happy. Personally, not some of these aren't my taste, but who am I to complain? It is nice they gave them to us.

    No, the pond just improves Vanity.

    I've been wanting a beach umbrella or two, so that's nice. And new fencing options are good to have. And the pond is pretty. I understand not being supper stoked on a pile of eggs, though, especially if it's not even an egg generator. I think mostly people are just tired of the grind and don't like the element of chance combined with it.

    My biggest issue with all the stuff is no place to put it. Do I destroy more lakes so I can place ponds. No where to build fences. Absolutely no space to make an Easter section. At least give us more land if you are going to force us to store up fences and other things that need land to build.

    This reminds me of the old joke "if dirty socks and underwear were free would you want those also?" (OK! If the underwear was Cameron Diaz's :shock: :shock: :shock: :mrgreen: )
