Out of the last five boats I've had four orders for apple jam...that's 3 crates of 3 per so 36 jams, not to mention the unholy amounts of cream, sugars, butters, and ice creams being asked for as well. With the help of great friends and neighbors, I've managed two boats out of the last six, but the rest have been cast off because of the impossibility of filling them.
Im not going to waste my stock on an unfillable boat order with no hope of vouchers when I can sell it roadside for market price and make more than I can even with the double coin incentive. I'm still working on boat points III, but rather than moving forward using this event as I had hoped, I'm going nowhere.
I know there have been plenty of comments, complaints, and suggestions regarding the amounts asked for or shorter production times, and I understand that it's all comes down to a dollars and cents, euros or yens bottom line for SC, but in the long run, that same bottom line is going to be affected if players start to bail because after a certain point in the game it becomes impossible to progress and fun and play becomes more effort and work than its worth.
