I completely agree.
Fix the bugs, errors, crashes, missing objects, once and for all fix the bot problem, get us our 4th and 5th year gifts, reinstate sim creation and moves in productions cities (or at least let us change names!) and get the ducks in a row before attempting merges again.
While they are at it raise the pay in EA Land and stop raising land prices!
Give us some incentive to play while working on the important issues.
