Seroiusly, just spent 25 gift cards on the mystery prize & got a tree!!! Am so sick of getting lousy prizes. I never get anything decent. Some people get lovely prizes/decos & I get a tree or 2 green vouchers or something similar, the drop rate is just not fair 😡
I won that tree. I was quite pleased to receive it. I had not won a tree before. Topiary, sure. But not a tree. I saved coins. I was going to buy one a few days before too, so I was pretty happy. ;)
It seems to take patience with those darn mystery packages (some call them misery packages). One day though, when you least expect it, something really exciting will be there at your door. I hope you win something amazing very soon! :)

It's annoying not to get something YOU'D like though :(. What were you hoping for?
Also, when only getting either green vouchers or topiary & getting very fed up of it, I read a forum post (Tigger I think?!) about it being FREE...and I gave my head a wobble and changed my outlook. I now view it as an opportunity for a free gift, sometimes it will be great, sometimes it will be naff, but it's free and a bit of fun. Doesn't bother me anymore...hence laughing at yesterday's small woodpile & not the prize I was hoping for. C'est la vie, maybe next time.
that s also part of the fun... to wait and hope...
and then having a good reason to complain about the trashy thing you get and why on heaven you are so unlucky and the injustice of SC in this world...:mad:
and have other on forum or neighborhood to support you and cheer you until you try the next time...
and when you are lucky, you can do the triple jump and shout your joy about having receive the most desirable thing in the game... and make other jealous about so much luck concentrated in one person ... and some other still cheering you and happy this time SC doesnt withdraw the so much merited reward !:caticon:
As long as we can express ourself that s all it matters ! :cool:

They aren't free, don't know why people keep saying they are, have helped a lot of boat orders for those cards using plenty of premium products, so definitely not free!
free from real money, but if you only water bushes and trees you can get cards too, then it doesnt even cost you premium products:thumbsup:Quote:

I don't do anything I wouldn't do anyway, simply to the get the vouchers, I just water plants & fill crates as and when I can/it suits me.
But as I said, I found my Zen place re the Gift Vouchers, I prefer it to getting annoyed when it's not what I'd like, BUT you have every right to get annoyed about it & vent on here...
If only I could find my zen place about other stuff as easily I'd be happy! :saywhat::D
Your attitude is also one I try to cultivate. I haven't yet attained the BRT, and the only time I let it bother me was when I got a stack of wood, while hoping, "Please, this time?" That was a disappointment. I dusted off the glum, put the stack nicely by a little fire, and figured the BRT will arrive someday. In the meantime, I was trying for the harp, last night, and instead got 15 diamonds! Not what I was aiming for, but I'm very delighted.:DQuote:

ILoveHayDay: How delightful! What perfect timing on your winning your tree! You are so right about the amazing surprises!
Anniebel, as everyone is saying - it's perfectly ok to be disappointed and to vent, but don't give up hope, don't let this discourage you. You'll get some happy surprises on occasion. I've been trying for the BRT SmallChange's style, for years (started my farm in 2013), and still haven't won it... I could buy one (several) now, but I'm still collecting gift cards because I want the fun of the surprise, someday...
