🚦🚥🚦 Why Do YOU Play The Derby?

[strawbonnet]

Just for entertainment purposes? ...and if you spend oodles of diamonds, you do this for entertainment purposes? Certainly, we don't play for the prizes.

I play to hopefully win one of the special derby decos. I enjoy seeing if those come up! They don't (unless I spend lots of diamonds) but it's still exciting to hope for one.

I just simply enjoy everything about the derby, even the prizes everyone so often complains about. 😉 I only use diamonds to sometimes speed boats up if completing for derby, otherwise I hold onto those previous gems. I like to win, but not going to be devasted if I don't. My game playing is for pure enjoyment and a way to unwind after a long day at work. 😍

I play for the prizes - expansion material. I do not like deco. Never used a diamond.

To complete the achievements - no other reason!

i am beginning to wonder why I play at all actually. It's classic obsessive compulsive behaviour. I'm obsessed about completing the achievements and maxing my barn but what will I do when I've done that? I have absolutely no idea! I know that if I stop playing I will find something else to waste my time on instead, but will find my way back sooner or later.

For the achievement, and for the pleasure of doing the tasks. It is certainly not for the prizes, and I have a decor allergy.

Getting back on topic.....

I decided to opt out the past two derbies and it has been a wonderful experience. Most of my neighbors don't do the derby and no one opts out so staying in the Champions League is impossible. Frustrating because those are the only achievements I have left. I'll admit that I really don't miss it. The prizes I got amounted to nothing and I won't use diamonds to refresh the prizes. Anyway, looks like the derby is a thing of the past for me. I didn't mind doing 5 tasks per week but doing 8 is a pain for no reward. Just my 2 cents.

Some weeks ago, we changed our playing style. One week we play full speed to get a gold trophy and bonus material (in a minor league). Next week we try to become last by only taking tasks below 200 pts. So it's one week to relax and one to be highly competitive. I really do enjoy this.
I don't care about the Champions League.

Bender, I think that's a great idea. The Derby is there, just like the trucks, boats, and town, are there. We can do or not do as much or as little as we please.

I play the Derby because it is there.
