Does Anyone Else Do This....?

[PineapplePigeon]

I've honestly only ever finished two goals...I usually never do them because I don't feel like I will finish it, or I don't like it.
I wish TeamLava would let us have every oven without needing to complete goals to get them. I want the gems..but I don't want to do these goals with silly themes. I don't want St. Patricks Day stuff in my bakery, nor do I want pirate ships in it! It sucks..

I enjoy doing the challenges. It's what keeps it interesting. If it was just cooking, cooking, cooking, I'd b bored, bored, bored. I've been playing since July 2012 and sure there've been 1s I didn't care 4 but did them anyways. I guess it's just the way u look at it. I know ppl who've mastered everything and just come back 4 them.

You don't have to keep the decorations in your bakery. I always redecorate immediately after I buy goal items. But it does eat up a lot of coins on decor that I'll never use. It makes it more challenging to save up for the things I do want, that can be a good or bad thing. There's only so much they can make you do in this game for goals -- buy things, cook things, visit people or ask them for items. At least they don't make us spend gems.

But hey, play however you want to play. If you don't like the goals, don't feel obligated to do them. You'll miss out on some items but to me it's barely worth it to get them. Most of my neighbors decorate only for goals and don't even care what their bakery looks like.

I do the goals even if I don't like some sometimes, just because I want more ovens and recipes. To be honest, i'm not feeling the st paddy's goals/recipes, so i'm just running through them as fast as I can for the gems and XP. everything I get from them (floor tiles, wallpaper, etc) is going straight into storage as soon as it's purchased. Same thing with the goal prize. It's going straight into storage; not because I don't like it (i'm one of the few who doesn't hate it), but because I don't feel like making room for it.

I'm actually throwing the food away as soon as it's done. It doesn't "go" with my cutesy bakery and I don't want to stare at the stockpile for the next month or two.

I have some neighbors who don't do ANY goals at all, ever, and that's perfectly fine. Play how you want, there's no "right" or "wrong" way to play BS. one of the many good things about this game.

I don't always like the final goal prize but I don't like missing out on ovens and thus recipes so I do them. It doesn't take up too much of my time so I dont mind.

I always do the goals and keep the items in storage. Some items I do like I will put on display.

The goals give an extra excitement to the game. A lot of players have passed the level 50 and after that there is nothing more left then the goals and updates.

The goals is what keep the level 99 with 3 years of gametime still active!

I love goals! I'll buy/make what they tell me to. Even if I end up owning stuff that are imo ugly I might want them someday, it's happened before. It's good to have them unlocked. As for the food I'll make them sooner or later, so. BS is a do whatever you want kind of game, which I like, but it's good to have a purpose every now and then.

[sally_brown]

I usually just store the stuff you have to buy, as well as the ovens once I'm through with them. I just like having something to do. At this point, my bakery is configured how I want it to be, and the goals give me something to do.

[mollybrown0]

I play in the same kind of way. I don't really complete any of the goals, most of them I don't like much. I don't like wasting money on things that I don't want, yes I can put them in storage, but I'll never use them again if I don't like what I've purchased, and it's not like I can get back all of my money I spent on buying goal items either.

I wouldn't mind goals so much if we could pick optional things to buy. (Example, flooring and wallpaper - being able to choose whatever style we want) I know some goals allow people to do this, but not all of them.

I finished all goals (except a few when I was a newbie and didn't have enough coins), not because of the gems (from new ovens) or the goal prize (and d?cor) but for the "thrill". As a few players mentioned above you'll easily get bored if you aren't interested in the weekly updates (or if they just give you a box when you don't intend to buy) or mastering the recipes. I'm not even level 99 yet and have not mastered all recipes but honestly would have given up BS if not for the goals. Sometimes I wish they last for 2 weeks instead of 1 month!

But I think you raised a fair point about goal ovens - for many weeks I look at the updates and thought "why isn't there a new oven/ mixer that are not goal-related"? In my opinion we've too many d?cor-related items. Not that they're not important - I do like decorating - but ovens, mixers, tables and chairs make the "core" part of a bakery. Yes I'm aware of the gem concern but seriously, even if they give us 10 new ovens/ mixers a year that only translate into 20 gems. How many items can we buy with that? And in any event I don't see how we'll stop buying gems (if we're ever going to get them) if each player get 20 more gems - my guess is that some players will think that it's not enough to buy anything serious and start buying them... just a thought, TL.

You can buy that stuff then just put in storage or sell it. I usually put it in storage.

There you just explained to everyone how TL earn money :) BUT thats how it looks for long time members who has finished it all. That also mean TL doesnt care about long time members that actually made them who they are today.

If I like the goal prize I will follow all the way through. Otherwise, I will follow through up until I unlock all the things I wanted, like recipes or a certain decor.

[jhehlah]

well, you don't need to place them all in your shop...i admit i am enjoying doing the goal...wether the goal prize is not that pretty but i still like doing it...i am enjoying to get the reward(though i don't really displaying them)...i just keep cooking and cooking and cooking...every goal, i used 5 stoves both rs and bs...i still finish it...i like the new recipes and yes the gems from it.

[sweetsugar104]

I love the goals! They are fun to do and reward you with great items! I thought the st paddys day wallpaper was a bit dull, but I dont really care what my bakery looks like. Hey you know I have to sometimes pay 150,000 for goals but I earn around 80,000 a day so no prob for me! Look you will be missing out on limited time items but it is your bakery, your way! On dragon story I have like 40 goals to complete so I know how you feel. I have not much goals since im level 31 now. Thats why I rush back to do this stuff! The only thing that rushes me offmis that we have a time set and I run out of time sometimes.

I was an on and off player for nearly 2 yrs, which means I'm only level 80 where my friend who started later than me already amassed nearly 20 million and is a level 99 == So when I started again (Nov 2013), I have to regain my flow with the game. I did the Winter Wedding and the Parisian Love goals, but as a result my coin levels never went up. That is why I skipped this St. Patrick's goal hoping to save more coins (the items aren't that good anyway, at least not like the two previous ones)

[HIGHSCOTTORIAN]

I think goals are good and as I have started my new bakery recently it really helps me get stuff to decorate my bakery
