Annoyed
Hi guys n gals, why do you put in a design city that doesn’t meet the requirements to submit? Is it stupidity or just can’t be bothered to read the requirements? Last one is for Night Time and there were a few that had day time views and none of the other items were anywhere to be seen! If you’re gonna do one at least follow the rules. Seriously how hard is it?
Why Is City Expansion So Hard?
Expanding a city in SimCity can be very challenging because the required expansion items are extremely hard to collect. Many players feel stuck since land, storage, and beach expansions depend heavily on random drops. Even when playing actively, the items don’t appear often enough to support steady city growth. This slow progression can make the game feel more stressful than enjoyable. Because of this, some players start to wonder if the system is intentionally designed to push them toward spending money. It would be interesting to hear how other players manage this issue. Do you rely on the Global Trade HQ, or do you simply wait for items to drop over time? Some players say they store certain items to improve their chances, while others think the drop rates are just too low. The challenge becomes even bigger when multiple expansions require the same rare items. What strategies or suggestions do you think could make city expansion in SimCity more balanced and enjoyable?Mayor's pass cap stops me progressing!
Since the Norway theme began last Wednesday, I've been trying to get to as high a tier in the Mayor's Pass as possible. I've reached tier 25 only for the Cap to jump in and prevent me gaining more points and thus higher tiers. It's now Sunday morning, 16/11, and I now have to sit twiddling my thumbs regarding the Mayor's Pass. I'm not bothered about the CoM. Should I continue with assignments until the Cap is reset? All I see with every completed assignment is the Norway coins not being credited to me. I bought the Premium+ Pass because I wanted the rewards on offer, and I want them as quickly as possible. Whoever was the cross-brained **** who dreamed up the weekly cap should be hung, drawn and quartered. EA are simply slowing down the Mayor's Pass as much as they can, whilst taking in as much money as possible from players of the game. It is unfair and immoral imho, but hey, since when did EA care about their players, fair play, or giving us all a level playing-field on which to play? I understand the Cap is at different levels for different players. Fair? In a pig's eye. I am at level 98, and have been a loyal player for many years. Now, my loyalty and dedication to the game is being rewarded by my ability to move above tier 25 in the Mayor's Pass, which has been halted for the next two days, until the weekly cap gets reset. Why should I - or ANY player - he penalised in this way? I am sick and tired of the liberties EA are taking with the players, usually in the name of nothing more than squeezing as much cash out of their players as possible. They don't care about the high proportion of cheaters who have infiltrated the game, they don't care about fair play for honest players, and they certainly don't care about loyal players who have played this game for years. All they seem to care about is penalizing players who want to do well in the game, grabbing as much cash from them as possible, and making what used to be a fun and enjoyable game progressively more difficult and awkward, and to dangle 'prizes' in the Mayor's pass, which by means of sneaky and underhanded tactics, (like the weekly cap) they make progressively more difficult and almost impossible to attain. Come on, EA, for once demonstrate that you care about your players, and get rid of this I'll-conceived and grossly unfair weekly cap.
