But this problem can be solved if I ever get lucky enough to have Yoangels gift me, but I don't expect anything for free.

This is a problem for anyone not just new players. A lot of people search for months for items.

I always love that new players immediately get a wish list going and ask for YoAngels.

All my income goes towards bills and food, so I do not have this luxury

Very true, I just used 2014 players as an example because players from 2013 and back had the chance to buy the items while they were in the store

I've posted in a few wishlist threads but haven't been gifted, which is fine because I can't expect something from nothing

We all have bills and food ..
Some of us have kids and grand kids
and college tuition...

Fact of the matter is:
If you have internet access to play online games
then there's money for $5 or $10 a month in YoCash
to help support the game.

If you can't afford that.. then you probably shouldn't
be expending cash on the internet and put it into
"food and bills". ...

just sayin.....

With that being said, it really is difficult being
a new player in 2014. I'm glad I started when the
game was new and worked my way up. I remember
having to save up for a long time to get a laptop for just
a few coins.

This game certainly isn't about instant gratification.

That's not necessarily true. A lot of times internet access is necessary. I am a college student and I have to have internet access to take online classes, check my schools website for grades, access to email, and even strictly on campus classes have online assignments I have to attend to (due on weekends). Lots of jobs require internet access too. The internet can be used for entertainment but also to get work done. Yes everyone has bills and food lol, but some people are on a budget. That doesn't mean internet cannot be a part of that budget. They can pay for internet and choose that it is a necessity or luxury they are willing to pay for, just as they can decide yocash is out of their budget or a luxury they cannot afford. I really hate the shaming on buying/not buying yocash. I often feel like I am not as valued as other players, because I do not consistently buy yocash. People say oh well just buy your own... well it isn't always that simple. I don't feel like it is anyone's place to pass judgment on other people's buying decisions without walking in their shoes first. Sure it is just 5-10 dollars but if I spent 5-10 dollars on every special food item I want at the grocery store, or coffee, or new shirt, then I would be broke. I try to be as frugal as possible. In fact, I saved over $1000 so I could go to college this summer without financial aid. If I would have just bought my own yocash every month, or every other little thing I want, then that number would be majorly deflated lol. Every dollar adds up! A lot of people are in debt too...

funnily enough i started in 2009 but only played for two years worked my way up...but then stopped playing the game for a few years till just recently and i have been chasing All the furniture n clothes n hair between 2011 to now. so no not all us had the chance to buy the stuff from instore.

I never said older players did get the items, I said they had the chance to.
Whereas someone who just started, has 0% chance to buy these old items in the furniture store.

However they can still buy the older item from a player, it'll just cost a whole lot more than when it first came out and if that player started recently they most likely will not be able to afford it

But I understand this game is not about instant gratification but more about building up

They reset your entire account along with your items?
If that's what you meant, then that's pretty harsh
