I wonder if bundles will replace boxes? The bundles give us some of the features that players have been asking for... you know what items you will get, no repeat items (unless it's tables/chairs), and it's cheaper.
Did TL actually give us something we asked for !?! They must have hired new person, thanks new TL lady !
*edit, just noticed there are some repeat items. Oh well, at least your guaranteed the '1st place' prize.

~~~ more CAKES in Bakery Story please ~~~
I don't get it. If the timer is only a discount on price and the bundle is here to stay, how is it you can only buy the bundle once? Shouldn't you be able to buy it as many times as you want?
You actually get repeats of other stuff besides the tables and chairs. Eg you get two of that Urban wall decor.

Maybe to be fair to the first bundle, since we can only buy that once too.
and that's the way you read her comments--which is why i was very careful to state that the comments felt smug to me.
personally, i believe we should complain about things we find problematic in the game. even assuming you're right and that TL is working on a coding issue that's blocking bundles on android (and i agree that's probably what it is, not laziness or lack of care for droid players), i think it's important that they know it's important to us, rather than assuming. i also find it easier to accept the situation once i've publicly stated that i'm unhappy about it. if orleansparish doesn't find it helpful, that's fine for her. that's just not the way i work.
and as a probably point of agreement, please understand that when i say "complaining" i mean just that. i'm not a huge fan of screaming posts or endlessly harping on the same point either.
Maybe the reason you can only buy bundles once is because that's the trade off for being able to 1) get items not available in the general market, 2) because the items are heavily discounted in the bundle and 3) there is a guarantee of getting the exact items you want. I guess TL don't want to give the bundles too much of an advantage over boxes because it would mean no one will gamble on boxes anymore which I assume is their largest source of revenue and ain't no way they're giving up their bread, butter and bacon too.

No way will the bundles replace boxes. The bundles are a one time purchase deal, which therefore limits the gem purchases of players. Boxes obviously don't do that which means more revenue for TL. I think these bundles were designed to appeal to those players who would never gamble on boxes due to the odds being against them. This is simply a genius way for TL to get gems from players who would never buy gems previously. Whoever thought of the idea deserves a promotion.
Maybe the bundles are currently on a trial and not necessarily a replacement for the boxes, perhaps as a secondary purchase item just like how the boxes are main gems purchases.Nope, didn't buy the first one cause I already bought the Barista Counter and Coffee Bean Display last Xmas Sale.

I think it's pretty good even though a couple items are repeated, at least you're guaranteed to see what you'll get and the exclusive 1st price or LTO.
We aren't being provided access to these old version so by TL and they have said numerous times that they don't support the use of them. The option just happens to exist with the constant version releases that are required on Android and a third party providing access to them still. This is a bit different as TL is purposely releasing this for one and not the other.
What she said probably wasn't intentionally dismissive, but I can see how it came across that way somewhat. It does kind of seem like "I didn't complain, so you shouldn't either". Again, I don't think she meant it that way since she's not that type of person from what I've observed, so just something that can just get taken the wrong way with the way it's worded.
However, I see no huge difference in these complaints versus the recent Black Friday complaints that were very much shouted from the rooftops recently. Still an issue with TL, just different reasons. And if it is technical and not indifference, then they could state that. Instead, they just say iOS only and go about their business as usual, leaving Android users just sitting there twiddling their thumbs...waiting. If I missed them saying that about this feature, then that's my mistake. But AFAIK, radio silence all around, which does give you the sense that they just don't even care about giving it to us anytime soon.
I am no longer accepting new neighbor requests at this time, I have more than enough for now. Thanks!
See I think the reason that TL haven't mentioned if it will be available on Android is perhaps because they don't want to make a promise they cant keep. They are most likely still investigating the possibility of including the feature on Android and working through possible coding issues. If they flat out said it would be available or that it would be available by x weeks/months, then that puts pressure on them to deliver something by not only a certain time, but to deliver something which after some trials and investigation, they may actually not be able to deliver because of a coding issue that can't be resolved. It certainly wouldn't be for lack of trying. I'm pretty sure TL cares just as much for Android players as they do for iOS. Making a promise you can't deliver would be far worse than making no commitment at all.
