Ok Lets Be Real , Isnt this what we all wanted . We Were all getting bored , and tired of all these Millionaires. The Game was getting too easy. Everyone Had some much money , people didnt have anything to do with it .

NOPE NOPE NOPE...did I say NOPE? didn't ask for nor want any of it. Was happy with my millions and ability to build new homes on a whim. Would take back the old TSO in a heart beat. So please,...from now on,...when you say "we all",....please change that to "all of us except him"

OK, I get what you're saying, but instead of "we all", "the majority of us" would have been closer, because you, as a person who was perfectly happy with everything as it was, must admit that you were in the minority feeling this way. It doesn't mean your feelings are invalid or wrong, but when only a minority of people feel a certain way then the whole game cannot stay stagnant to suit that minority and leave the majority unhappy...especially when the game is in iminent danger of closing if significant changes weren't made. Surely you must at least be able to concede that point?

So far we seem to be the majority in this thread.... It doesn't really matter what he, she, we, us says anyway does it? The change has been made and we all have to make the best of it or " bottom line" Quit!

Formatting problem with the bolding fixed.....holy crap LOL /neurotic fit
Yes, you are the majority in *this* thread, but it's been said over and over that even if every single person posting on Stratics agreed with something, it would still not constitute a majority of the PLAYER BASE because a very small amount of people that play post here. It is up to them to have their voices count though....there's no excuse for any of us here not to make Stratics' presence known to those who don't know about it, as well as the blog and the Wiki so that anybody who wants a voice can have one. Fact remains that the majority of the people who did bother to make their voices heard screamed for some of the changes that are happening....and yes even screamed for some of the changes NOT to happen, but just like anything else in life, you have to be willing to put up with the negative to receive the good stuff.
From what I have observed, those that see mostly the negatives have themselves to blame for it......with every thing that has come up that has made me say '
WTF
' I've eventually said "*sigh* OK, if this is how things are gonna be, and I can't change it, then how am I gonna make this work to my advantage......I've got to develop a new strategy of playing to be what I call successful'. Sometimes that transition from pissed off to turning around doesn't happen very soon, sometimes it does, but every one of us posting here has that power to turn the negatives into as much of a positive as they can...it's just part of being a powergamer and having an attitude of "I'm GONNA do this, I won't fail". Or at least it is to me.

I agree with you for the most part Carrie but I do believe that the minority here are some of us stragglers that were playing TSO before EA Land was even thought of. At least the majority of sims i've known through the years are not happy with the change but, remember when they introduced Dragons Cove. So many we're gung ho in getting there and then the complaints began "everything here is too expensive, i'm going to have to make jams until 2050 and so on. We struggled but we made it work and had fun. Even with the wipe, we have overcome every obstacle, every change and made it work. Now, was I in favor of the merge and EA Land? No I wasn't just for the simple fact that in game ,and in stratics folks are more negative and some just downright hateful. I have been reading and replying alot today and that's why I stated that if your not going to try to make your sim sucessful, quit the game because I sure won't miss you and i'm not directing that to anyone personally, just in general.
