Packing in the game

Packing in this game. I am sick of exploring the same rooms, getting crappy collection items over and over again, no helpers, bugs.

So, I have deleted over 400 friends, and those who are left are getting my collection items...its great fun!!!! And when my collections are gone, MM is being deleted from my Ipad

Wow, I can't believe no one responded to you. So did you pack up and go? What level had you reached? I'm kinda with you, it's getting old fast. Especially with the fact that they don't give us diamonds. Well a small pittance, and you have to beg for them

Hi! Just seen your post. Yes, did pack in. Got to level 120 or thereabouts and deleted it. After a month, I tried again but two rooms in and Id had enough, so it got deleted again, never to be looked at again. Shame really because the concept was good. I just got sick of the same rooms. Must admit, I got great pleasure giving my collection items away!!

I'll bet giving away your collection items was quite fun! Good for you. I get tired of how hard it is to get stuff. They have new quests where u can't even ask friends for stuff, u can only BUY the items. Terrible!

Not quite ready to pack it in yet but getting really tired of quests that are next to impossible. I still have Neptune since last November, and the combat fan since about then too. Have tried all sorts of charms and just don't see how this is supposed to benefit the game when it just causes frustration!

I guess maybe I'm not a dedicated enough player, but I was enjoying just playing along at a leisurely pace until I got stuck. I have had the Selene room since last fall also but can't open it because I can't get the right quests until I clear these old ones...ugh...such a vicious circle. I like being able to help friends but right now nothing is dropping for me no matter what I have running. Can't find Christmas trees either. Guess I just will help with what strength I have and not worry about the quests.

We used to be able to loan Neptune and mercury, but GI took them all off us:(( although strangely I got another mercury back?! There is a thread on here somewhere about the Christmas trees, each one comes from exploring a certain room (in night mode I think). So, for example, you would only get the Paris tree in library at night - don't take that literally! I'll have a look and see if I can find the thread, once I knew the rooms I stocked up on each tree x10 as once you move on to the next one you won't find previous again.

Here are how to find the fir trees (in night mode)

American - Kitchen
London - Living rm
Paris - Fortune-telling rm
German - Hunting
Italian - Library

Many times i feel like this too, the quest are getting frustrating without spending money. It takes sheer determination to resist the snatching merchant and leprechaun. Also i always have to tell myself, if i choose not complete the quest, So be it, I'm not a failure!!!

Just sent you the tree have a great weekend

Bah.... Spent money for a game? No way! I made a deal to myself that I won't spent even a dollar for game. For me this is just for fun. If I have to stuck for a quest then so be it.

My thoughts are that they make quests impossible so we will have to buy their chests to get the stuff. I have been reading all the posts here, I know the game used to be easier to get stuff, so it's glaringly obvious to me. GI saw that it was hugely popular (and it is a good game), so they snatched the opportunity to make MONEY.
It's too bad really.

In many ways things used to be easier, for example keeping phenomena in a room to complete a quest quicker. However, you can still complete them - collect your 5 diamond weekend chest every week from FB (I stash them away specifically for calling phenomena). Make sure that all the other rooms are either cursed or have phenom in them and buy the phenom for 10 diamonds to get it to the room you want.

This has always been a game of patience!

Thanks for posting the rooms for the trees! Maybe I can finally get a set today. You are so right about patience...I guess as I've moved upi I have expected it to be quicker. I too have rarely spent money for diamonds, maybe twice, but would never pay to finish a quest. If they don't get done, oh well

Don't rush through the quests where you can stock up on items that won't be found again - I'm level 245 and still haven't finished the anniversary quests, I could have done ages ago (and I can get them from the cake) but some items you can only stock up on once

Katyc, should have ears your post yesterday!! Didn't realize sharing the trees made them stop dropping
Maybe someday I'll figure figure out this game...or not

Charging not sharing....autocorrect

Thanks to the friendly folks from this forum I finally have moved past the Neptune quest and now have the whole string of crop circle quests! Much more fun to have something besides monsters to banish.
