Has anyone else just about given up on saving up enough money to expand their bakery? I say this and i'm only at the 6,000,000 expansion lol. And I have bought gems before, but I would MUCH rather use them to decorate my bakery, rather than expand it. I basically refuse to use gems to expand.
It's just so hard and takes so long to save up that much money for it, especially with the weekly updates (if I like them; I LOVED the ice cream theme and bought dozens of tables and chairs). And the goals too, they pretty much require you to dump tens, if not hundreds of thousands of coins for them. I know goals are an option, but I want to do them.
I've done the whole "efficient layout/make nothing but RVC" methods to make money, and, while they really DO work, to me, it seems like too much work to put into a lighthearted game and takes some fun out of it. The fact that a game like this pretty much REQUIRES such manipulation if you don't want to spend real money, well...it kinda sucks lol.
It's taking me quite a while to save up the 6 million. I can't even imagine how long it would take to save up 20,000,000 and the other outrageous expansion prices. And all that money spent into getting one measly little square added around your bakery.
I always end up regretting the expansion at first, because I end up so poor that I can't decorate the new section (or end up not being able to afford matching the decoration on the newly expanded section), so it's just blank and ugly while the rest of my bakery is cute lol. And to see my coin total plummet so drastically in an instant is kind of painful lol. But I WANT to make my bakery bigger so I can fit more cute stuff in it.
I started playing well after the price hike, so I can't even imagine how helpless and angry long-time players must have felt.
Anyone else feel the same?
Also, would it **** TL to make some newer recipes higher profit? Everything is +4 (or +0 like the valentines cookie glitch lol). Why no +6, +8, etc recipes?
