The Italian Jobs ends

I hope you got your fill of Italian Job mastery, as the Italian Jobs 3x mastery event is now over. Were you able to focus on Italy during the event? I really wish I had had more time, energy, and stamina to work on Italy, but there was too much else going on I had to skip it.

Italian Jobs 3x mastery event ending

 

The Italian Jobs 3x mastery event is scheduled to end in a little under 2 hours, so get in there and start mastering while there's still time!

Some were surprised to find the event was ending at 10AM Pacific today, but my post from a few days ago indicates that the end time was announced very shortly after the release of the event on the Mafia Wars blog.

How many Ruby-throated hummingbirds did you guys get?
I got none...too busy working on the ice season and Bangkok.

EVENT FATIGUE

Do I even need to say anything about this picture? Of course I do! :D

As a person who used to love completing every challenge the game threw at me, times like these are frustrating. How many times do we have to bang our heads against this wall? This is WAY TOO MUCH going on the game right now!

Back in March and April of this year, event fatigue was a huge issue. Lately, I've been seeing it come up more and more often. Back then, Zynga seemed to gradually slow up on the events, and in early May, we actually saw a break in events, but it didn't last long, and there hasn't been a break since. That was almost three months ago :-/

And Zynga is showing no signs of slowing down. In fact, they seem to be piling on the events more and more. And LOOK at the events going on right now. There is NO way to complete all of them. You've got the Ice Season, which requires you to focus on using stamina fighting. I'm not done yet, and I wanted the stupid badge. Brazil Ruby Level Loot was a complete joke for me. I STILL have only 1 item. I only have Recife at ruby mastery, so even if I tried, I could only get in one or two jobs before I ran out of energy for the entire level. There's the ever-present mission event, which I now habitually ignore. Out of nowhere today we have the robbing thing, which I can't do because I need my stamina to finish the Ice Season, and the Italy mastery thing. On top of all that, rumors of Bangkok closing, which remain unconfirmed so we don't know if we need to work on it now or not. 

This is insane
