Disclaimer: I am not referring to EVERYONE when I say, "We." I'm assuming many if not most, though.

When we asked for unvaulting, we meant full themes being unvaulted and in the STORE for whatever length of time and not in a pricy YC pack available for 2 days. I don't understand why you can't unvault the full themes and put them in the store for the months of the holidays and for whatever length of time for non-holiday themes. The cash grabs are getting so old.

I came here to say pretty much the same thing. 70 yo dollars? When most of the items were coin items when they were in the store? And for the record, I'm ok being included in the "we". I'd like to add that it's kind of sad that that disclaimer has to be included to avoid someone invariably jumping in with a criticism of the term "we". It is a pronoun used to refer to the group of people who did, not the entire community.

I'm a part of the "we" too. I'm so tired of the cash grab. Just give us something to enjoy once in a while. Put it in the store for the original price and let us decide what we want. This pick 2 of this 3 of this ugggggg. I want more that 4 sunflower bushes and I don't want any windmills. I want choice.

I also want to add my voice to the "Have to add disclaimer" crap. We're adults we all know when someone says "We" it usually means a good majority of a group. Nothing more than that.

Agreed

Make it EASIER to decorate

Do not make it DIFFICULT to decorate. Stop allowing your Marketing team to drive the bus. They don't PLAY THIS GAME.

Forcing players to run through pay gauntlets that limit what they can do creatively is wrong from a game play perspective. When people are in the process of decorating, they want their options listed in the store in that very moment. They don't want to be asked to predetermine and pay for how many of anything they may or may not ever use for projects when they are NOT decorating.

Thank you guys, and yes, exactly! We shouldn't need to add a disclaimer. I'm always on eggshells over here because there are those that love to pitch a fit when we say "we" as they don't want to be included. I do try to steer clear of generalizations, but if I'd titled this "When Some or Many of Us Asked For Unvaulting" I think it would be too many characters to fit. But either way, I don't think when someone uses the "we" it means everyone, even when it's something I disagree with.

And Tee, I agree with the pick 2 or 3 of whatever thing. With the cheaper packs it bugs me equally. Choice would be nice. I'm not sure I'd buy a pack like this even if there was more choice. I would love to have whole themes back in the stores even if for just a week or 2 so I can buy what I want. I'd be much more likely to spend some cash if the full themes were unvaulted than I am to spend on a 2 day pack with limited items.

I think doing it this way will just backfire on them. I would have most likely spent way more than the equivalent 70Ycash with coins and Yocash had it been i the store. On a couple of the weekly sales I've spent a ton of Yocash and coins and that's at half price, imagine my bill at full cost LOL So for now I'll just keep my Yocash

[b]Add me to the WE!!! What a mean thing to do. I get it, this is a for profit business, however making it impossible for your customers to buy doesn't make sense!! Not cool[/b]

Yeah, this deal is useless. I want turkeys, chickens, and roosters – and I would stock up on them given the opportunity – most of the rest I either wouldn't use or already have in my inventory. Sheesh, even releasing just the turkeys this week would be a better idea than this.

BVG's rip-off marketing style IS their standard method of delivering goods into the game. BVG has proven to show zero interest in the previous model of fair and ordinarily available direct-buy shop sales. Sadly, a rare anomaly now. This pitiful unvaulting, and uninspired, AI, low-quality crumbs players are thrown is BVG's "best standard." Pffft. The level of BVG's greed and their abject disregard of players' overall in-game experience is beyond astounding. Gone is the 'ol heart and spirit of Yo. Shame on BVG for changing the face of this game and using it as a front for gambling.

Some of the items from that theme are in yodepot btw

I actually got very little from that theme when it was out and was thinking oh I'll buy some more like 10x of one thing as you do when there is good stuff to deco with and its in a %&^% pack that I have to choose individual items from like naaaa I ain't doing that caper.

add me to the WE

the HC2024 pack was like that I wanted 2 single apple chairs and a couch but that was not a choice, the choice was only one chair, a gazebo and an npc neither of which I wanted .. I wanted an extra chair and had to buy one in AH
that gazebo was so hard to sell too no one wants gazebos

*Sigh* I came over to see if anyone else was disappointed with this offering. I will probably purchase one pack because I only have a couple of items from this theme, but I don't have a feeling of goodwill towards it. I really dislike that I can't try any of the items out on my farm to see what I like best, plus I can't stock up on the coin items to create a good scene. If I'm going to create a farm scene I really need more than one or two corn stalks or heads of cabbage!! I'd also really like to be able to purchase all of the npc's at a discount. They really bring the scenes to life. I know BVG can't please everyone, but I agree that either the developers don't play the game or they think we are all millionaires. I wish.

Agree with it all. I did not buy this pack but had they have unvaulted the theme I would have bought many items.

Exactly Lisa, when I saw what was being offered I just x out. I don't know who's idea this type of marketing is, but it's certainly not for me. An over priced 'deal' for two day and they choose how much of an item I can buy. I don't think so. It annoys me every time.

I agree 100%. I didn't even bother, I just closed it out. I hate these packs. I just want to go in the store and buy what I want, not be stuck to a specific amount of what the marketing dept wants to offer. x'd it right out.

I'll be here to disagree. Bye for now./

I refuse to pay those prices for pixels! Yes, they are taking advantage of us.

Count me in as part of "we" too.

The thing is that many of you asked and this will make money signs in BVG eyes meaning they will do something that players will open there wallets and bet it has worked. Over these years BVG has been putting new money grab ideas to this game and players are falling for it.

Count me in as one of the 'WE' collective too. In complete agreement!

If we needed any more proof that we're now being run by greedy insensitive control freaks, there should be little doubt now.
I've been taking a LOT of game breaks recently, because I just can't take any of this anymore in this game I used to love to log hours spending to decorate and create every day.........
So far popping my head back in has not proven very satisfying. Everytime I do I just get pissed off at how different and foreign this game now is....so drastically far away from how I ever played it. And none of it is better IMO.

Today I came in to make an outfit for the movie Wicked that I'll be seeing this weekend.. BUT, I could not get my outfit manager to work....outfit components are not loading, I keep having to refresh...finally getting pieces to show, now it won't save.
This game just gets more and more expensive to play....it's over the top ridiculous today. And what value do we get for our money. It does not even look like the money we spend is being used to maintain this game.........

I'm about to give up and go on an extended break, because I hate so much about the game today, it's not even any fun to log in.
If the game is gone when I next log in, I won't even shed a tear.
This is NOT the same game we loved so much we had to save it from sunsetting.
It's barely recognizable, and super non sustainable. I hope the red warning lights are going off at headquarters, because this game needs some serious attention, fixing, and redirection.
Very sad for our once tight knit community.....very sad indeed
