What is the next Global Event Product & why?

I think it will either be the blue sweater or red berry cake.
Due to them both taking some time to produce, and being frequently available in the paper.

What do you guys think?

Strawberries. Their presence in the DD seems to have shot up to replace an over abundance of B&E.

I think it's gonna be cornbread, I can't even give it away!

I hope it's neither. I hope that if they continue to design these "global" events, they introduce a greater variety of products into it. They should, at least, ask for a different product for each tier.

Haystacker pointed out on another thread that creating unnecessary shortages of products and raw materials, while simultaneously introducing surpluses of other items, is all that an event like the last one accomplished. And I completely agree with him (or her. Sorry, not sure). Furthermore, producing one item over and over again is very tedious and makes for VERY dull and uninteresting game play.

Quite frankly, all that the last event did was frustrate and annoy me. I did not feel rewarded, even though I finished three tiers of it. I only received 1 TNT barrel and 1 gold voucher, while others apparently received double. Then I received two purple vouchers. I could have done better in the boating event. At least the opportunity for more vouchers is there. Yes, I understand the scarcity and sanctity of the golden voucher. However, I'd much rather be stimulated and challenged in a more interesting way than be guaranteed a gold voucher. I'd rather have another boating event or a trucking event than another global event. Those were a lot of fun.

I agree with SueDL

I think it will be the fish event, the one that gives us 4 new kind of fish.

I agree, and SC set an obviously ridiculously high target as the total fell well short. Got to admit it seems to have created more problems for players than enjoyment, though I have not seen all posts I have not seen anything to commend it yet.

Considering this was their FIRST global event, I'm willing to give them a pass. It's a learning experience. The idea is good but probably needs fine tuning. I liked it, required some planning by me to have the reaw materials, when to be available to collect and post. The rewards to me are better than the uh...drivel I keep getting from the 35gift card package(instead of oh...the tractor, wind mill or the I forgot-the-name bike).

Concur with SueDL. I do also hope that each stage has a different product. The previous event was fun for me but I do see the merit of mixing up the products. After all it is a 5 days event and I can see how the shortage of B&E, egg, and bacon ( and the abundance of strawberries) could have frustrated some people.

I'm with you ... I'm hoping that the truck event is next. I like the boat event too. This was my first Global Event. I'm wondering how the top producers made thousands and thousands of B&E. I did contribute 142 and went back to my regular Hay Day life.
