Could the Booster prizes please be interspersed among the other prizes (the same as all other items) so that we're not forced to pick 2 Boosters. I don't like Boosters much & feel as if I'm losing 2 prizes every week.

Yes please! I do not want to be forced to take two boosters every week. Yesterday and today I had to trash several in order to make room. And then i got one in a red box. Grr.
I want choice! (please)
Just claiming this week's prizes & I have 2 identical Boosters in 1 column so now have even less choice.
I actually dislike this idea. The boosters are the only prizes I care about (outside puzzle pieces and permits, but those are rare and only finitely useful), so the 2 guaranteed boosters are nice to see. Do you forget how utterly useless the horseshoe prizes are? 13 free Tom hours are way more useful than 2 axes. That could get you 54 axes, at the cost of the same prize oppourtunity.
And for people complaining their boosters are overflowing - USE THEM! They can't overflow if you use them, that's what they're meant for. Since you get 2 per week guaranteed if you derby with enough horseshoe slots, there is no point in hoarding them, you know you'll be getting more.
Well, everything seems to have dedicated columns for showing up. So even if they got rid of the booster-only columns, that doesn't mean those columns would suddenly have a deco chance. And if they got rid of all the dedicated columns, that could even lower the deco chance altogether.
Most everyone I talk to outside the forums love the booster columns. Boosters are so helpful, and they're rare enough outside the derby that you shouldn't be needing to trash any if you use them frequently enough. Without the dedicated boosters in the derby, I know I'd be permanently opted out once I'm done with my permits. (I don't even care about puzzle pieces enough since picking up neighbour townies can't give paw prints.)
Personally I don't mind either way, but I think the argument against them not being in specific columns is stronger. As it is, people are forced to take Boosters & solo/small hoods can't get any. Whereas if it's all mixed up people have more opportunity & more choice.
I play solo so I don't get any Boosters on the Derby, which suits me fine.
Most of them don't help me anyway. I don't need my trees & bushes to grow faster. I stack, so It makes no difference to me if my machines run faster, I don't really use Rose & Ernest. I don't pay to hire Tom so the Tom going faster booster is only any good if I win a FREE Tom. The Boat Boosters are ok, but the FREE Tom is the only Booster that I enjoy getting.
I do use them as they come up, but I still get over run by them & frequently trash one. I'm definitely not paying diamonds (to use two at the same time) make my trees grow faster, simply to 'use them up'.
As for getting Paw Prints on NH visitors - it would be yet another blow to us solo players, so it's quite nice that everyone needs to serve at least two visitors to get extra rewards. Equal playing field.
However, as it's just stuff you get from wheating & not actual puzzle pieces, I really wouldn't care if they changed it.
