As I posted several pages back, this the worst idea S8 has ever come up with. S8 is essentially cutting our buying power in half. I guess it's their way of getting those who've stockpiled Cabbages to use them up.Quote:

So I forgot that you have to wait for your cabbages to be low in order to watch videos for more. I was looking for the option and went into the add snowballs screen. I thought maybe I had to scroll down. NOPE. Touching the screen didn't scroll down, but it did cost me 90 gems for a measly 10 snowballs! So I figured well I might as well throw them. I got 5 of the 6 needed items to get the prize. I watched a ton of videos, with no new snowballs. Which is when it hit me - I was earning cabbages, not snowballs, for watching. And guess what? I only have two hours to get the final item to win the prize. So I have just spent 90 gems to earn a rock, block, chicken, and steak. I have to decide whether or not to spend MORE gems to speed up the trade just for a small chance of getting that sixth item, or more gems on more snowballs. Which would feel like rewarding S8 for doing it this way.
I actually was going to post to point out a few positives about this thing: 1. between now and February, you can really stockpile cabbages because you always get 2 instead of 1, and 2. you can throw six snowballs a day without losing any of your cabbage stockpile.
HOWEVER, this six hour timer on the trade is the reason I cannot get this prize, even after both spending gems and watching videos, and that part is AWFUL. What a terrible waste of gems. If it had been cabbages, I at least would have won this weird snowing cloud thing, whatever it is. I realize that this was my mistake for not thinking it through before I started throwing, and I should have waited for the prize to reset. But it is still SO FRUSTRATING. The trade timer makes NO sense!
YEah, this trade is terrible - as if 2 for 1 is not BAD enough - but 6 hour timer. And we can only do one trade at the time- it is ridiculous!
The whole idea has been the most horrible one S8 could have had - Literally NO ONE likes it.
Now if they had made the trade one cabbage gets you 2 snowballs, that would have been a great idea!Quote:

threw my snowballs today and watched 3 ads and never received one snowball.., this whole thing has been a disaster and blatant money grab..
That would have been the way to go to introduce this new format-- a real customer pleaser! Or just a one to one exchange, that's cute. But two for one?? That is just getting one's Scrooge on.Quote:

Think that’ll do for me.
At least until the Tuftkin returns to the tent.
I figured out that when you watch videos you still get cabbages, so they'll show up in your trade wagon.Quote:
