And in exchange you gave him your account details, right?

You know you can change your password, right?

Nah but I bought them for €1.27 from guy of the bay.

when you "bought" them from him he just hacked your account, you could have done that for free yourself

The only thing I don't like is the christmas tasks and the value of the tickets. I think its a 10hr task for just 35 tickets when visiting a town you pick up 30.

I know in the town its 30 every 24hrs but I just dont like sending out characters on that only recoup 35 tickets after 10hrs.

Time is money and I couldn't be ar$ed going to that effort when someone else can do it for me and I hardly broke the bank with my extravagance And yes I understand he hacked my account! What's the big deal?

how exactly?

Where do you check the community prize countdown thing again? I was in it once I remember but can't figure out how to check it again. It's not as handy to get into as the Halloween one, or at least as obvious to me!

Also, happy with the personal prizes so far, but I see a 'critter' type prize coming up soon which will presumably be another useless thing running around town to go with the snake and zombies, or to be filed away most likely. Looks like a raccoon or something.

Does the tile tapping still work with the new update?

It's bad sportsmanship IMO. I've earned my donuts as have most people. Where's the fun in cheating?

Not having a go, just offering a different view.

It's only a game and I did earn my donuts year back and bought them from the store which are v expensive. But different strokes and so on as they say.

It doesn't affect anyone else. How is it bad sportsmanship?

It's also only cheating if you speed up tasks all the time. The vast, vast majority don't.

If premium items weren't so redicilously overpriced, a lot less people would use the hacks.

Its cheating, no two ways about it. Actually it's stealing.

Yes they are overpriced, but hacking the game bypasses that price. and it's stealing from EA who are providing the service.

If you don't agree with the price then don't pay it.

But you can't get away from the fact it's stealing.

Ok think people need to lighten up a bit. It's not stealing IMO. The donuts are virtual and endless supply and without limitation because they are just a number. I haven't taken them from anyone not even ea. ea aren't out of pocket, they didn't transfer donuts to me.

At end of the day, I have all the fancy premium stuff and you don't and probably never will so if ur happy with that and want to take the moral high ground good for u

It is stealing, the developers put work into creating the game in return for their wage which is made via people buying donuts in the game, this is the revenue stream they have chosen, they haven't made the game out of the good of their hearts. Bypassing this is stealing from them.

Its the exact same as expecting a plumber or electrician to work for nothing.

Yes it's cheating, but so is taking advantage of the squidport tile glitch. Plenty of people had to pay dearly in time and money for each tile before the glitch opened up.

Yes it's stealing, but I doubt there's a single person on the internet who has never used/downloaded copyrighted content without permission.

This game is not competitive, which is why I like it. Anyone can go about it however they please. Some like to take it slowly, some like to boost with house farming and glitch exploits, and if some want to hack the game so they can get all the premium items that's their business. The great thing is that whatever someone decides to do with their own town, it doesn't affect anyone elses town. You don't lose out on anything, you can still play away in your own way.

When I get sick of this game and find myself generally not bothered any more at some point, I will probably get myself a hacking guide and get myself a load of donuts. My reason for doing so is that i'm a completionist. I plan to have everything built and laid out nicely before I quit playing and there's no way i'm getting all the premium items with earned donuts.


TL;DR - Live and let live

EA have made an absolute killing out of it. If they were really worried about revenue they wouldnt continue to charge so much for premium items. Sell something cheaper and more people will buy it. Simple.

It's gone from bad sportsmanship to stealing. That was quick. Next I suppose it will be the cause of someone dieing.

If you have an issue with it, dont do it. No need to bitch and moan about others playing a game however they wish.

At the bottom of the screen there's a candy cane striped trophy. Tap it, and down in the corner beside the Homer option, there's one with Homer, Apu & a couple of other characters. That's the community section.

Quick question for anyone that can advise - do the snake, turkey, Snorky, etc. just act as moving decorations for the town? If I store mine, it won't affect my Conform-o-Meter or anything, right? Getting a bit sick of them at this stage!

Folks, no more discussion about ethically and legally suspect services please. Any more posts on the topic will be deleted!

3 wheel spins so far have given me 3 snowmen. However I did get 10 donuts from my daily combo mystery box!

122 donuts now.....

Mars Bar

I wanted decorations on the wheel spin so I put my finger on the brown house decoration and spun and it landed on the brown house. Gonna try and do the same method tomorrow and see if I just got lucky or if there is something in it.
