2x Global Property Build RIP OFF 1/15

For the low low price of 50 Reward Points Zynga is offering us the option of doing a 2x Build which will still (yes, even after you just paid 50 RP) cost MORE RP to build items. No thanks.

*Unlock this offer for 50RP. Builds will require you to spend additional RP.

Trader No-Goh New Items 12/26

Trader No-Goh has a bunch of new items, and as far as I can tell, only *one* items is worth the time. 

There it is. The Black Camel, animal [119/195]

You can buy one straight up in the Marketplace for 25 Reward Points, or you can get it from Trader Goh for 10 RP *and* some loot items. Or....... look a third option, buy the deal for 18 RP. 

Here are the rest of the items for trade at the "Power Trade" level. 

This whole thing is a "no sale" for me.

End of Days: Snipe and Shank Bundle 12/21

Snipe and Shank Bundle, only *cough* $99

You get 5 Virago, henchmen, [213/141]

+60 Skill Points

5  Hogan Easyrider, vehicle [141/213]

and the Snipe & Shank, weapon [242/229]

Like the last several bundles they have offered us, my reply is the same:

No Sale

High Rollers Pack: Golden Armor: Wireless Security System 12/13

The loot items aren't that great, the prices are really not that great. An awful lot of people must be buying up everything Zynga has been bundling, because they just keep adding more bundled up crap.

High Rollers' Pack: 

Highest  Stat item is the AC-Nexus at [229/240] you will get *one* of those. That is the best part of the deal.  Yes, it *is* less expensive than buying each item separately, if you were going to do that in the first place.

Golden Armor, a Bargain for the entire Family: No thanks 

Collector's Edition Wireless Security System: No Thanks

I don't think these numbers will hold very long, there will be a higher loot item in 14-21 days and this one will be useless as well.

Arena Mega Pack 12/7

This ranks as number one item on my "crap I won't buy from Zynga" list. $79, %60 off of what? Puh-leeze!

I already can't stand the stupid Arena and even though there is this mind-numbing Luchadora Arena Event  I still don't want to purchase this chunk of junk. I haven't read any rave reviews of the Arena yet, and haven't heard from anyone of the magnificent benefits it gives out, and I don't see it helping my red-tag family so, still, no sale, but thanks for the offer, I guess.

Vendredi noir... quel desastre! 11/23

Black Friday, what a disaster!


In less than 12 hours, Zynga, Facebook and Mafia Wars have been working hard to alienate their own, very loyal, customers, again.

Several members of my Mafia Wars Family and other players have been so excited about the %60 Off Reward Points Black Friday Sale that they either a) Ran right out and bought Zynga Game cards at a local retailer or b) purchased on line Reward points, only to discover that:

They were now Facebook credits, and that Zynga or Mafia Wars was somehow unable to recognize their purchases.  There have been many exchanges between these players and Customer Service. As far as I can tell so far, there is still no resolution.

Marketplace: More Sale Crap or Zynga Fundraiser 9/03

Pop-ups are getting overwhelming again for me, what about you? This is worse than Marketplace Mess (facepalm)

The Rewards Card Sale "Event" is going on for 6 more days, get some skill points as you spend your way to Mafia Wars Oblivion. There is some nice loot in the Limited Edition area, but how long will it be "nice"?

Pick Your Own Bundle popped up on me too, and the best deal I could find was this:

+8 Skill Points x3 for 57 Reward Points.

Spotlight Sale "Event" is still going on, and we can hope if you purchase other sale "event" items that those will count *towards* completing this, but we're dealing with Zynga, so who knows?

Psychology Crates are on sale as well. What's inside Psychology Crates 

And because too much is never enough with Zynga, we also have the Group Sale going on. 

I don't know about you, but I am not going to be buying a whole bunch right now, considering Reward Points are still *not* on sale.

Marketplace Mess (facepalm) 8/10

With Zynga stock in the toilet and the Resignation of their COO they seem to be getting desperate to show increased earnings by selling us more and more crap.

This week in the Marketplace in game we have loads of stuff to spend cash or Reward Points on.

Today's is Pick Your Own Bundle.

Earlier this week we've had Finally a Bargain LMAO

Rewards Card deal.

Daniela's Deal (not)

And of course these lovely collectible Cards

Sorry guys, I'm still on my Mafia Wars Spending Diet.

No Sale.
