Quitting TSTO.

The Easter Event is methadone for Tapped Out fans.
I think this event took advantage of players who they know are hoarders and made this an event for accountants at EA instead.
Games are supposed to be fun, challenging, but players who have experienced this event have mostly said the same: they feel like they're being played.

Hope there's something you find that returns you to a happy place.
BUT I am PISSED that EA wont release new land with all the stuff that is being released, I think that fact alone drives more people away than some stupid I cant win at a random number wheel
EA- what is your problem. How do you think is event is even close to being fair?
I'm with you on many levels of this post. All I want is the Blocko Store, and my last 10 boxes have been my worst ones of the event so far. I don't know how anybody could still be saying that this event was good. I feel like Premium players especially got the shaft on this one. I know that I am definitely less likely to spend donuts in the future now...up until this point, I spent donuts on all limited items and stuff, but now that I will be missing a bunch of stuff from the Easter event, it's like what's the point? I hope EA feels some backlash from this event and doesn't do any more of these chance based events in the future..
Yes EA, that's a challenge. Are you up for it? And whilst you're standing there with your knees trembling, just remember that WE the players, are the ones who pay for your swanky cars, your weekend vacations in posh hotels, put your kids through college and pay for that pool guy your wife keeps eying off. Without the paying customers, no matter what the game, you dont have much of a business.
I think it could be that they technically can't release more land. Maybe something was hardcoded into the game that specified only so much usable land.
So EA have driven away many of it's customers already. But for those that remain, I wonder how many of them are addicted gamblers? They're probably not as vocal as us, but if their gambling mindset kicks in, they could probably drive up profit even higher, considering how much the racetracks and casinos are earning.
I do the tasks.
I visit my neighbors (more of them and more often than you)
I spin the meager boxes I can afford.
I certainly do not have all items, or even close. I'm missing half the major prizes.
So. Yeah. Shut up. :evil:
I have visited all 100 neighbours every day
I do not have all the prizes
Sorry thought you said you've got 99 problems but a fence ain't one.
You experience is not the norm, judging by this forum. I have double the amount of friends as you (I visit ALL of them everyday) and I have literally checked my game every few hours since this event started. I even bought the Crazy Cat Lady, who has an egg-yielding task (70 eggs/per 24 hours). Homer, Moe, Ned, Ralph, and Nelson haven't stopped doing their egg tasks since the beginning of the event. On top of that, I spent 200 donuts on blue (my uncommon color) and gold eggs. I still have not finished this event. I need 3 characters. I think that my $ and commitment/time put into this event should have allowed me to obtain these things.
I've seen a few freemium players who have completed this event (it's still really rare), but I also know of a bunch of people on this forum who have spent a lot more donuts than myself and have come up with nothing to show for it. All my donuts got me was Bunny #24601 and a bunch of fences, egg piles, etc. Everything else was obtained playing freemium. This event is seriously rigged, but especially against premium players. Again, your experience is the exception, not the rule. Read all the complaints on the forum for proof. Actually read the stories of how much work and money people invested, don't just disregard them as whiners. There are a lot of really valid points.
Exactly what I'm going to do. As I've missed out on some of the prizes the need to have everything available has gone. More money for beer. Mmmmmm.....beer.
They charge for baskets so helping each other out costs money, they set character tasks at silly time slots so most people only have time to do it once a day, it wouldn't even surprise me if they'd planned the whole basket glitch thing, seriously. And that's on top of them making it chance based anyway.
And the person who said "I play every day and I have everything bla bla" you are literally one in a million because there are so many people on here who have spent a ton of money on this thing (luckily not myself) and still don't have everything. Not even everything, some don't even have a single character! So don't say it like you think that's normal and we're all freaks.
Aghhh roll on tomorrow :evil:
