I did not find this game until after months of playing the Simpsons. At first, it was great even though it is an obvious rip off of TSTO. I could progress at a moderate rate and buy using a reasonable amount of clams get a good portion of the new items. Now, forget it. There are so many items "to quest for" that take a blatantly unreasonable amount of time to get. I have counted how many times I have had to complete the task for an "extra rare" item for example and in some cases it took me 20+ times. I could maybe understand for a 2 hour task but for 8, 12, and 24 hour task, it is ridiculous and starts making the game frustrating and discouraging. It is simply getting to be not fun any more. They have become so openly greedy that they tag items as "Freekin Hard". When I started playing, a large pack of clams would last through 2 maybe 3 events to get most of the available items. Now, a large pack is not sufficient for one event. To make it worse, they dont even have enough land available to display all of the stuff I have acquired. I have to store a bunch of stuff just to progress through new events. So comparative to TSTO, this game is slower and more expensive with obvious space issues which has turn the game into a frustrating, not so fun game.
Dont get me wrong, I do believe that they should get paid for the game that they produce. And believe you me, I have spent a whole lot more than an average person would. It is almost embarrassing the amount that I spend on this game and others and I am willing to spend more in the future, because I do believe the creators deserve to make money. But at the end of the day, I (like everyone else) have ample choices in similar games to spend my $ on and would rather do so on games that are more reasonable and dont demand so much from their paying players to make up for the shortfall from the non-paying players.
