I for one would like to know what the heck is going on here. Since maxis can post here that cities are going down, perhaps they can also post what it is we can expect when the cities come back up. A poster noted earlier that what is going on is not a scam because a scam comes as a surprise to the one who is scammed. Well I came back to this game expecting a lot of great new changes and I can assure you i feel scammed and surprised. It was also a surprise to finally get back into the game this afternoon and go to work at the factory only to be paid half of what i should have gotten. Surprises all over the place, and not good ones. This game has become nothing but frustration. I fail to see how lowering factory payouts falls under battling people who use bots to make jam all day. The only thing it is doing is making me and many other people want to quit. The game is not fun if we cannot earn money to build and buy things. Otherwise it is what it often feels like, a glorified chat room. There is no real "game" to buying simoleans to purchase the things you want. Although i know we should not all walk into the game instant millionaires, i also do not want to bust my rear allllllll day long so i can afford to buy a chair, if im lucky. So devs please ring in on this. What is going on?

Can we please stop [censored] posting about how "bad" the payouts are!
I'm tired of every post on here being about the damn payouts.
I'm sorry that you cant have your millions of simoleans that you could have had in the regular cities by now.
Parizad said that they will be releasing a new "weapon" soon and possibly be able to increase payouts.
Maybe if this game wasn't so centered on Skilling and Simoleans (the fault is that of the players for turning it into one) then we wouldnet have this [censored] whining all the time.
BTW you can make cash lots of other ways, but I however have no more than $300 (and thats my total amount from my 3 accounts) and I have fun.
BTW objects in EA Land are much cheaper, there is a post here on stratics that has a guide which can help you furnish your lot with under $500.
BTW if all everyone does is make money and whine how hard it is, then just leave okay don't be pissing people off with whining.
BTW Maxis does post if you haven't noticed the sticky posts about links then go here

The way I see it is like this...
We have 3 options
1. Go back to the way the other cities were, with everyone having over $500 million due to the bots and the cheat that was not fixed till last year. And continue on skilling and making money and going AFK at the stores.
(This is the one that I do not want to see)
2. Change this game and have fun, stop focusing about money and skills and begin to make the game creative. And stop whining its not real life...
(I like this option)
3. If you don't like any of the options then quit.
5 Years ago when TSO was still young, there was tons of RP houses, mini airports, theme parks, theathers, resturants, hotels and resorts.
Now that those creative players have gone, we are left with a majority of people who do nothing but skill, skill, skill, jam, jam, jam, green, green, go afk, skill, skill, skill, jam, jam, jam, green, green, go afk.
Stop whining and help make the game creative people or quit...
That is all!
