No more personal events for me, here's why....
Another personal event, why do I do this to myself? I guess I'm hoping to see something I'll actually need... but alas, supercell doesn't get it; they do it the same ole' way every time, because it works FOR THEM.
I just finished today's personal fishing event...
First Prize: 2 shovels (Even thou I have a lot of these already this IS something I'll use, and need in the quest for never ending quest of platinum in the mines)
Second Prize: 2 Purple vouchers (I think I used more purple vouchers trying to make enough lures (because of the time restraints), so I could fish enough, to get enough lbs of fish to get the prize)
Third Prize: 2 deeds (really? I'm level 80. I had 70 of these in my barn already. I gives these away like candy; and before you ask me for them NO you can't have them. I don't know you, maybe you could befriend someone before you look for handouts.)
Fourth Prize: 2 purple vouchers (ummm, yeah)
Fifth Prize: <drumroll please> 5 saws. Really? what a major disappointment. I have 161 of these in my barn already.
Stepping down off my soap-box-of-bitter-disappointment.
Which brings me to the big question.... YOU, who are reading this rant... what would YOU want for a prize? I suppose if you are an early level all these prizes might bring a smile to your face. So tell me, what level are you and what would you like to see for prizes?
Its ok to have an opinion
I want to say its ok to have an opinion...especially refreshing to see people who get off their white picket fences every now and again, regardless of the topic.
I sincerely believe everybody has the right to speak out...be it positive, negative, or outright boring wishy-washy garble. That is the point of having a forum, and sometimes, an interesting one at that.
Personally, I opt for selective thread reading...(Drives me batty seeing all that SC worship :p).
They are a multi-nat money machine for goodness sakes...yes they created a clever game which millions enjoy (myself included), but I also remember I am not a shareholder...just a player.
As to the OP...I do understand your position. Some motivation to 'want' to participate (other than guaranteed 5 diamonds) would be an enhancement to these never-ending 'challenges/events', and welcomed by most levels I think?
I do feel for the higher levels who have little to motivate them to continue playing at all...whats to do after you have purchased, expanded, mastered, achieved etc, etc everything in the game?
The wheel must be the only remaining thrill...but then again...this needs a bit of tweaking too imo?
So I do appreciate your disillusionment upon receiving mallets as the big final'e to a 3-day long event :rolleyes:
BTW: Another thread already exists regarding the past boat event prizes:

Won't bore you with duplicating my thoughts on those (post #32), but needless to say, my disappointment was...:confused: understated?
EDIT: Mtgirl...you are a 'clever cookie' ;) Like your system...kudos for innovative game-play ;)
