2x Builds and Game Cards...Where are you???

I will never understand why Zynga loves to establish a clear and identifiable pattern  and then completely break from that pattern.  The pattern I refer to: the predictable appearance of a 2x build on the friday night of a major marketplace promotion (this one being pathetically called "Sports").  I accumulated thousands of reward points Thursday and Friday for the sole purpose of the highly anticipated 2x build....and surprise surprise, it never showed!

Here it is the weekend, I will be home all day today and likely tomorrow watching  football.....and I am sitting on all these reward points.  WHERE THE HELL IS THE 2X BUILD????  What freaking dipshit for brains morons are running this operation??? I mean, I know, I KNOW it is not a new revelation that Zynga is run by the stupidest scum that corporate America has to offer, but what the hell???  I mentioned in another article that you can't "rape the willing" (read it here)...well I am here and I am willing.

Another major problem I have is that the normal Zynga gamecards are vanishing off store shelves and being replaced by similar looking, but very very different Zynga Facebook Game Cards.

In the above picture, the card on the left is the normal Zynga game card. The card on the left offers 155 reward points during normal redemption, and 310 RPs during 50& off redemption.  That is the only card I want.

The card on the right looks deceptively similar, but offers VERY different compensation.  If you choose to value it at $25 you would receive the same amount of RPs you would by using your credit card in the game to buy RPs (via Facebook Credits). With no discount, the card on the right will get you only 106 RPs for $25, and 215 RPs at 50% off.

So it alarms me to see that all the stores in my area, Wal-Mart, Target, CVS, Rite-Aid, Game Stop, Best Buy - all of them, are switching to this card on the right. LAME.  It appears that the normal GCs will still be available online, but I do not have a credit card or bank account....last time I checked the computer does not accept cash.

And Zynga, could you make these cards look any more pathetic? I feel like a freakin sissy fruitcake buying this shit in the stores.  Maybe I should wear a pink tutu and tights and a tiara - that would seem like appropriate attire for buying these cards in public.  It's freakin' embarrassing.

Bottom line: Zynga, for the millionth time, QUIT CHANGING SHIT!!!  Could you at least be consistent???  Jerks.

Anyway....here is a picture of a cute puppy lol :D Cheers killas.

2x Builds...My Thoughts

I am sure everyone has gathered by now that 2x builds are going to be a regular event.  We can be sure these will continue to pop up at various times every week.  I admit I enjoy these 2x builds.  It is fun to see how many reward points I can blow in 30 minutes.  BUT.....yes, BUT, I believe these 2x build are disastrous.  Disastrous to both the game and our wallets.  Let me preach on it...

Surely everyone recalls the health fiasco.  Players had built up so much health that many many players were basically un-iceable.  Zynga finally came up with a solution by changing the damage formula.  Well gee golly if zynga hasn't done gone and basically reintroduced the problem.  2x builds allow a player to rapidly increase their health to the point of being un-iceable all over again.  Congratulations zynga we are all going in a giant circle. (And you can bet zynga is aware of this problem, and likely doing it on purpose).  So i guess they will AGAIN have to alter the damage formula.  And for those of us who have not beefed our health up to 50,000, we will be screwed.  And those of you who did beef your health up will suddenly find your self getting iced :D . You spin me right round like a record.

We can also view this 2x build dilemma from an economics viewpoint.  It is a bit like priniting money.  The more money the government prints, the more worthless it becomes.  The 2x builds introduce a tremendous amount of skill points into the player population, thus devaluing the skill point.  And just as inflation via printing more money really hurts the poor people more than the rich, this mass influx of skill points hurts the non-spending and mild spending players.  I am a spender.  I will easily drop $100 to $200 on a 2x build, but I am not even a big spender, believe it or not. There are players spending much much more than that on these 2x builds.  And even spending what I am, I will never ever come close to catching them.  My skill points have been devalued, and so have yours. And even missing just ONE 2x build greatly hurts the ability to remain competitive.  I have witnessed it.  I missed one 2x build and saw it impact my fighting ability.

I think we all KNOW what this is really all about: MONEY. Zynga has found a new and reliable way to RAPE our wallets and purses.  Of course, I guess you can't rape the willing....however I could argue that many of us are not willing, we are slaves to this addiction.  Zynga knowingly exploits our addiction. It ain't rocket science.  While it is true that zynga is a business that endeavors to earn a profit, their methods are exploitive and disgusting and unethical.  Zynga purposefully creates a crisis and then introduces remedies that essentially require players to spend $$$ in order to continue to enjoy the game.  It would be like a burger joint selling poisoned burgers then ALSO selling an expensive medicine with the burger to keep you from getting sick!!!!!! Mark Pincus is living large while we are scrambling to redeem game cards at 50% off.  

I guess in the mean time I will keep making my bed in a burning house.  I am an addict.

2x Global Build for the price of 1 6-6:30 Pacific Time 9/14

2x Global Builds 6-6:30 PM Pacific Time 14 September

It is 4:30 pm Pacific Time now, so you have 2 hours to get to a computer!

On The Double 2x Global Properties Build 9/06

This morning as I logged in to the game, another exciting banner. 1-2pm Pacific Time September 6th.

I'm guessing Zynga thinks this is a better time for people who have jobs?  *Fail*

If you are in to building property items for stamina/health/energy/defense/attack, this can be a very good deal. If you're at work when it is available, it's just pissing you off.

On The Double 2x Global Properties Build Schedule 9/04

When I logged in to the game this morning, there was this pretty little banner across the top!

I know there are some people that will still not be happy with this. People who have a job during the day time and cannot log in to take advantage of the deal. I wish Zynga would add a couple to the evening hours.
