Angry The bad feelings that the game is stirring up when backing off

Have you ever promised an ice-cream or a lollipop to a kid and failed to deliver? How did the kid feel about it and what was the kid's reaction to you?

Have you ever been disappointed by missing the winning lottery number by one digit?

These are the bad feelings that the game is stirring up, when it promises a reward (click here and you will get 50% of that) and then backs off on its promise,
presumably because a coin threshold was hit during a non specified (or badly computed) time interval that keeps growing until the day ends.



Who plays the game? the grown-up or the kid in the player psyche?

The key factor here seems to be are the two parts posting bonuses (and receiving the crops) and helping neighbors with bonuses (getting half in return) tied/added together for the 1,000,000? If so then that would explain why it seems to take much longer than 12 hrs to be able to help anyone. IMHO these should not be connected. It should be 1,000,000 for each.

What we need is simple rules that need not be explained.

The development team has always provided sparse information on how things work. They let the forum guys take up the slack.

You bet your boots. Somebody was not thinking straight when he created this mess.

If it ain't broke don't fix it.
