    I've experienced going days without any to getting 3 in one day. Luck of the draw.

    Haven't gotten donuts from visiting friends for several weeks. Is it officially over?

    I thought for a moment they'd made it 1 a visit, but the other day I got 3. Didn't visit yesterday.

    I could cry when I read that some players get donuts from friend towns nearly daily. I have gotten maybe 2-3 donuts from friends in the entire YEAR that I've been playing! My game hates me!

    U are not alone. Come, I'd cry with u. :mrgreen:

    Before Stonecutters I would on average find 2-3 a day, sure sometimes I would only find 1 and have an occasional day of getting nothing.. But then I would also have a lucky day and find 5..

    It seems though that since Stonecutters, donuts are harder to come by. Now I'm lucky if I find 1 a day.. I know everyone says its just luck, but I cant shake the feeling that there was a change in the %'s of finding donuts after one of the recent updates.

    Obviously I'm glad for any donuts but cant get over that they used to be easy to come by.

    It's chance - some seem to get tons, some of us get little bits of donut crumbs

    During the Stonecutters event I got multiple donuts daily when visiting friends, now I'm just getting one every two to three days...

    My average has gone down to 1.33 a day. I have 100 friends I visit every day. :cry:

    Wooo hooo! That is the highest I've ever heard anyone getting. I've heard 6 before. Most for me was 5; two days in a row.

    Congrats!

    I have never gotten as many donuts as people on the forum report getting. Makes me wonder if the lucky report and the rest of us just wish we won more donuts. I run 2 accounts and I'm lucky to get one every couple days.

    With the complainers on this forum. :lol::lol::wink:

    How many friends do you have? Do you visit them every day? Are you maxed on FP? Do you write down how many donuts you have before and after visiting friends and subtract? Do you let the $$, XP, FP, etc stop moving before pressing the arrow button to go to the next town?

    Bunny on addicts says that on one of her devices she never sees the donuts, but knows she gets them by doing the subtraction above.

    Congrats! Addicts site says 1/100 chance of winning sideshow you before the 299th pop. Long odds but not that long.

    I get one or two but it's not every day. I think I got 4 donuts this week so far from visiting friends.

    I think there definitely was an 'adjustment' since the stonecutters event - I've posted about this before. I got some people saying it's 'random', but really, coders have to put numbers in randomizer algorithisms for things to appear 'random'. So, somewhere, somehow, there is a 'number' which determines how many donuts you'll get awarded from visiting friends, and it's definitely been changed. Note, this is NOT a 'complaint', since free donuts are free donuts. It's just harder to find the motivation to go through 3 taps X 100 friends when there are days with zero 'rewards'. I had two nights in a row with 100 friends with no donuts rewarded. I never once had zero donut nights prior to the stonecutters with the same conditions.

    Darn, you caught me I'm a relaxed neighbor.
    I do have a 100 neighbors, well 190 if you count the freemium. I visit during events, friend point times and when the mood strikes.
    I am maxed on FP.
    What is this "writing" you talk of and how does it relate to the game, so no.
    Love those arrows, sometimes I wait, sometimes I don't.

    One of the events, I don't remember which one, didn't count the special things unless you tapped them or waited for them to be picked up, so I harvested each and everyone one of my emblems. That is the time I am using for reference. I visited each and every neighbor every day, well may have missed 2 days because of time creep. During this time I once got 3 donuts on one day, some times I would get one and mostly I didn't get any. I did get one I didn't see arrive and I am not counting FP collection time. During this time I was tapping around 500 times per day, so I figure the odds of a donut are close to 1 in 1000, but this anecdotal evidence.
