Noticed a growing trend of player alienation.

I've played off and on since 2013. This time around I'm seeing people refuse to be friends with people who have 2 stars or less. I play RS, BS, and FS. It's on all three. Not everyone has time to tip, at one point I didn't and none of my neighbors flipped out on me. Non-tippers still send gifts and answer materials requests. Everyone has the right to have whoever as their neighbor and such, but what's with all the hate? It started out as one or two people and now I'm seeing so many people cleaning out their neighbor lists.

I've been playing since 2011 and this is not a growing trend. It has existed pretty much from the beginning. If you check this site you'll see several threads about this. I stopped playing, but even when I played regularly I hardly ever read my wall and very rarely ever returned tips. I even didn't bother to clear tips from my tables except when tipping was part of a goal. Most of my neighbours played that way & we would usually seek out other players with that style of play. There are, however, some players who love tipping & socialising in the games & can't understand any other style of play. Don't sweat about it. Search for others with your style of play & move on.

I agree that that the changes to the games have ruined them.

It really does seem as if Storm8 decided that their way of doing business wasn't working, so they'd do even more of what they'd been doing...never learned the first rule of holes, lol. Either that or someone is paying them to have a bad game. Those are the only two options I can think up.

Rant. I just got deleted by a player because I dont leave messages. That's ok but said player thanked me a month ago for not DELETING them because they'd been inactive for months. Go figure. 🙄

I don't have time to leave a message on each neighbour's wall. I always send gifts and fill requests but some days that is all.

Neighbours, neighbours neighbours. I only keep 45 active neighbours in BS, and 25 active neighbours in RS. and . Why? no time to tip and post on wall on 100. LOL. GUYS u only can get 20 gifts per day!!! i dont know why on earth would i have like 100 neighbours especially if they do not gift me the correct gift, i got to decline them... and then request for gifts again. the tipping is too much a hassle to be honest, but i guess thats how the game is.

side note, I just used 200 pounds x2 games, to buy gems. LOL. and then i realised Android and IOS have different items?!?!?!!?!?!? ITS LIKE WHAT!?!! WHY this discrimination ? and why this difference, PLEASE EXPLAIN STORM 8. im so furious now, so what i should do now? spend another 300 pounds or more to buy an iPAD? WHAT IS THIS!?!?!?

Horrible management with this haughty "let them eat cake" business plan has ruined what used to be the best game of it's kind.
What they failed to learn from the Bakery 2 and Restaurant 2 epic fails is repeated over and over to this day.

Wow.
