LOLOL After so many comments were deleted it would appear there are as many or more happy users. Many are no longer protesting but have quit the game and many other Zynga games. It would be hard to interview users in Yoville about not liking the changes since many are not showing up and hence can’t be interviewed. Does Zynga count the traffic to the yoville.com site as part of its “daily active users”. If so, it is inaccurate due to the fact many are going merely to see if their comnplaints have been addressed. I am still laughing about your excuses for a poorly written article: “I kind of poked at the protesters in the article because they are the vocal minority.” Instead of making a lame excuse about “poking” protesters, you should have done a real job of research before writing your “article”. As you can see in one of the posts after your previous article, it is common for many people to not protest but to merely leave. I know many who have. I also know many who are there merely so people can use them on their “friends list”, etc.
Of course, perhaps these lame attempts at journalism gain something for you? Granted you received over 60 comments to your lame article. That in itself is telling, since many of us never read a thing you wrote before now.
My best advice to you is to take a logic course and a journalism course before you again attempt to write an article. Have fun and good bye. I doubt I or any others will continue to read the things you write. HAHAHAHAHA!

Have to wonder if you also cover the Conservative Teaparty protests… sounds like exactly the same “arguments.” I have not left YoVille… yet. Don’t tell me Zynga could not reinstate the Widget Factory, alongside the Sweet Factory, for those players who are enjoying the new feature. If they could do it before, they can bring it back. They choose not to. And that’s fine. I’m waiting to see if they CARE what players think. If they do not, I’ll let that inform my decisions bout continuing with ANY Zynga games or not.

As for the increased traffic, there are many simple explanations for that. There are many who are logging in, going to the Sweet Factory… and blocking entrance. I’ve not been able to participate in this protest because the site was flooded and I couldn’t gain access on at least three occasions. And, there are other forms of protest going on as well. Besides that, many of us are choosing to continue supporting our friends who are actively playing by responding to requests to help with work, and friends activity, etc. Logging in does not mean everyone is working in the Sweets Factory. Many are participating in OTHER aspects of YoVille so they are not forced to deal with “clocking in.”

As previously noted, many people simply left the game. They are not registering any protest other than to stop playing altogether.

You and Zynga are perfectly free to continue minimizing and ridiculing players who disagree with a fundamental change in the way YoVille is played. There are plenty of other games on FB, and elsewhere. You are not the only games in town. I chose to play YoVille SPECIFICALLY because I did NOT have to watch the clock to play. If Zynga chooses to change this, that is their prerogative. Just as it is mine to find other games that meet my needs.

Zynga should take note of the fact, however, that this policy attitude creates a negative attitude against ALL Zynga products. Maybe that is inconsequential to them, maybe it doesn’t change their bottom line in any significant way. What I do know for certain is, I don’t appreciate being jerked around and then having my displeasure dismissed, minimized, and ridiculed.

I submit you aren’t doing Zynga any favors. I don’t know if you actually work for them, represent them in some capacity, or are just reporting your personal opinions. I’ve been taking a “wait and see” position on the Widget Factory… hoping they will recognize how simple it would be to bridge the gap and reinstate the Widget Factory. I’ve read two of your articles now, and I’m more pissed off with the cavalier attitude with which you’ve blown off my position to the that I’m ready to just say screw it to all Zynga products. You sound like that woman who runs ACORN! Perhaps you aren’t aware of this, but “reporting” does not include presenting personal opinions or assigning motive/intent to the subject. Not, apparently, that it matters.

They are right about deleted comments http://sr386.multiply.com/journal/item/281. I have been watching forums and Blog I am seeing huge numbers of peeps upset … they are all getting deleted. I am glad there is someone out there copying and pasting them. I am bailing on Zynga altogether. I spent real money on a game that now has become time management game like Farmtown and Farmville. I was duped into playing a certain type game that has changed. I would of never spent my hard earned cash there had I know this was coming.

“I kind of poked at the protesters in the article because they are the vocal minority.”

So how exactly do your sponsors and advertisers feel about you poking at their patrons? I wonder how that will work out for your consulting services? Do you advertise the ability to intentionally provoke the market that engage in social networking venues such as Twitter, Facebook and MySpace at your upcoming convention?

If anyone would like to see true hypocrisy spewed out by this site, visit their main page at Social Times and read the article written on Sept. 18th.

Since I have much more free time now that I’m not wasting time on Yoville, I can contact a few of the sponsors and let them see first hand what their advertising dollars are paying for on this site.

Really good job of professionalism… NOT

I must admit that the ninjas did a very great job on deleting almost all the negative posts about the sweets factory!
Now it really looks like the majority LOVES sweets!!! lmao

um, are you reporting about this issue or working for zynga? this is a pretty sloppy bunch of writing.

at any rate, if you actually played the game, you would have found that the outrage is hardly among a minority of players.

Have you not noticed that there is an anti-sweets factory cause on facebook with more than 40,000 users?

This is not just “users never like new content.” This is, developers do not understand their users.

And by the way … if only 67 people out of 14 million are protesting… why did the devs have to do an emergency release tonight to increase the amount of clickable area outside the factory doors to prevent protesters from blocking them so that users couldn’t get in?

Humm strange that the satistics shown on your link for Yoville actually takes you to a page on allfacebook.com which strangely enough is the same site as this. Now anyone can “rejig” numbers to make look as the so called information you are posting is correct ( although I am not saying they are I am only stating the obvious ) and just saying that if those figures came from a reputable independent source then maybe I would take notice of them. But as they appear to come from the same site/application that is “demeaning” us the users of the game then sorry those figures have no standing. In my mind its just all BS to try and make yourself and Zynga look good.
With that I will let the others make their own decisions on everthing you have stated so far.

i’m not mad about the sweet factory, i actually like it but then again i just started playing like a week ago. the thing that gets me fustrated is the fishing and the racing. especially the racing every time i go and play to get coins most of the time i don’t even get paid when i win. plus it’s not very easy to win…. if there’s anything that i can do to get my credits can you please let me know????? thanks!!

I disliked the factory when I was initially forced to be one of the first testers. Took a few days to realize I was using the Sweets Factory incorrectly. After taking a deep breath and figuring it out, I made the same coins I made before with the WF, and then some. I love it now, and have more freedom (thanks to all the new time choices!) over the old factory.

Since then, I’ve come across many protesters in protest events, or in front of the factory), who don’t want to hear from people who love the factory. They throw pixel balloons at those who like it. They kick people who like it out of the events. They cuss at those who like it, and tell them to leave (the protest area), if anyone likes it. Some even believe you must be a shill, or a Zynga employee, if you state you like the new factory. The last one alone, shows how close minded some of the protesters are. They don’t want to listen to others, yet they want Zynga to listen to them. It’s amazing. I’m betting Zynga sees through those people, too.

I briefly feared the protesters would get the factory taken away, before remembering protesters are often the minority, albeit a very vocal minority. I’m no longer worried about it.

Whether the protesters made a personal choice to give them Zynga money or not, these people are protesting a free thing Zynga didn’t have to give in the first place. Some people are unable to understand that. What a sad sense of entitlement!

The traffic may have gone up because of all of the publicity the controversy is generating. We’ll see what it does in the long term. Most of us will probably come around, since we love the game. But be clear, we might tolerate the change, that doesn’t mean we embrace it.

Do you think you could get an interview with somebody in charge over there? It would be nice to get a statement from somebody who made the decision.

I wonder how traffic is counted. Consider that each trip to the factory now generates 48 times the number of “clicks” that were used with the widget factory.

The protests and boycott efforts have not been very well publicized so a lot of players who dislike the new factory are still playing and complaining in the game unaware that a boycott is underway this week.

Perhaps you checked the forum after Pink and Green Ninja cleaned it out of the hate threads.

Yes comments posts and links have been deleted, and we cant see the players online as actually protesting now can we? the polls are showing on FB and Twitter we are not happy !! Those do not lie!!Search the many groups and events..I have money invested and have not logged in for a week other than forums.
Yes it would be nice to know we are being heard but sadly just getting smoke blown up our butts. A real answer would be nice along with a choice thats all we ask a CHOICE!!

I may go back in, but I may not like it I may avoid the factory altogether or try too.

MMM curios that the chart has changed to reflect the decline on the protest now, since you wrote this!! Whats up with that?? There is some deceit going on here!!

I recently joined a cause on Facebook to bring back the Widget Factory. The goal is to get 50,000 FaceBook users signed up. When I joined on Monday it was already over 33,000 users that have joined the cause.

Poorly researched article in my opinion.

I have screen shot of both charts … I am forwarding them to Shareholder’s of Zynga to look into the matter!

Yeah sure, I log back on. I have freinds I’ve visited. But I wonder how many more people are like me who have totally cut off any more yocash purchases. This is where it’s going to make a difference. Zynga cares about it’s bottom line. I’m not going to help them out in that area any more.

I didnt realize that Bernie Madoff was out of prison sounds like he is running Zygna now. Poking at people that helps to make his paycheck how wrong is that.

Yoville Online done a poll in the last couple of weeks and they came up with 90% hated the sweets factory.

Also the reason why there is more users logging on daily is that you need to go to the factory every 4 hours to get more money.

Many of us tolerate…spend less time in Yoville, have stopped spending money on Yocash…have increased the traffic and membership on OTHER GAMES because of the Yoville change. I wonder if any of these facts figure into you conclusions. Just as in real life…there are the ones who dislike quietly and protest with their feet or wallet, and those who dislike loudly and protest with signs and mouths. Or in this case, barrel costumes. Your numbers mean nothing to me when I see that two out of every three Yovillian in the square, store or coffee shop spends alittle typing time expressing their distaste for the SF. Me included.

The simple changes that most are asking for would go along way to making the SF acceptable. Such as removing the clean and ingredient fees. Finding another way to trigger the animation. A simple simple fix and request by many…alot of us who actually spend cash on the game, and yet it is ignored.

Business 101…dont create a negative perception for your customer and then expect a positive result. That is what the deductions to work and mix do. They create the negative.

People are angry mostly because the Sweets Factory Pays us LESS than the Widget Factory did in a 6 hr period. The Widget Factory paid us every 6 hrs. and we never lost coins because of coming to the factory late. I was paid 475 coins within a 6 hr period at the Widget Factory…with the Sweets Factory I get paid 192 coins in a 6 hr period and if I’m late, the ovens burn up my sweets. With the economy in bad shape in the real world, people are taking pay cuts and losing jobs etc. We are hurting out here! Now WHY! WHY! WHY!?? Hurt people who just want to play a game and visit friends??? It is CRUEL and UNJUST treatment of your customers.
There is a poll on Facebook that says over 90% are against the Sweet Factory!! You my dear are being rather stupid if you are not looking at the real polls out there.
People are very ANGRY! And they have a right to be!

Guess they didn’t get around to checking this out.

Over 37,000 said here that they did not want the sweets factory. All the extra accounts added are probably multiple accounts people started just trying to make a buck.

Z-Games cares more about the money than their long time users who mad the game as popular as it is. I myself have lost over 68 crew members who left the game due to the sweet factory.

One would think that Z-Games would listen to the paying players. Most of are refusing to purchase Y cash or coin and are even refusing to do the surveys for free Y cash.

I have no clue where you get your numbers that more like the SF but you obviously don’t play the game or have even bothered to look into all the anti Sweet Factory groups. You can’t go by Z-Games sites because their staff have been removing almost all posts of anti SF talk claiming that they have merged the posts/threads to one big thread. I find it funny that only the anti SF posts get merged or deleted but all the I Luv SF posts/threads get to stay.

I for one think the SF is a poor sad excuse to bilk the players out of their earned cash. Z-Games has gotten too greedy. It seems that they only care about the cash.

I understand that they need to make money in order to stay up and running but you can’t tell me they didn’t make money hand over fist from the MTV VMA promotion and advertisers on the right hand of the screen. I am one of the ones who have been extremely vocal since the start of th SF debate and all Z-Games and it’s staff has done is tried to sweep it under the rug.I can go on and on about all the issues with the game but I will let others have their say.

I have personally wrote to Zynga when I have had a problem, they have always been helpful and replied to me, on the occasion I wrote to them( over 3 weeks now )stating my dislike regarding the sweet factory, well would you guess NO REPLY!!! I certainly will not be buying yocash again

I feel that this article is not a true representation of what is going on in yoville. Many people are not playing the game at the moment as a boycott. Not everyone even realises that there is an online forum to air their views, so just quietly get fed up with the sweet factory and leave. I have met very few people online who like the change, most are tolerating it as they feel helpless to change it. Most of the threads on the sweet factory have been moved due to ‘errors’ as our moderaters call them, most notably the one where a certain ninja decided to tell us anyone complaining about the change was due to ‘MOB MENTALITY’. I don’t like the sweet factory, but I do LOVE yoville, that is why I (and so many others) have decided to speak out, sign petitions and demonstrate with boycotts and protests. Please don’t belittle our efforts by ‘poking fun’ at us.

ahahahaaa ahahahhaaa, uhhhh Okie dokie >>> Nick O’Neill
See here is my problem,
In all fairness the SF does have a good thought behind it, as many of us whined and whined to have a new job other than WF
We got it….

…. but bottom line for me is I don’t want to have to think so seriously about a virtual game and make notes, set schedules, live by the clock….spent my most of my real life doing that. (I am 56)
Get rid of the burn factor and the game is awesome, [b]a win/win[/b]. Also, I don’t mind paying to clean the oven, but why should we have to pay to clean the oven especially when it was Zynga’s maintenance time or a technical issue.
I hate losing investment monies of;
pre-cleaning monies
ingredients monies
having to re-clean monies
because of life’s real issues or Zyngas issues.
That is not fair. :/

It might be true that you can earn a little bit more coin now than with the Widget Factory, but overall I think we’re all dancing around the main issue. YoVilles coin payout system is really chincy. Under the current setup, you still can’t earn 1000 coin in one day. And that’s despite the fact that many furniture pieces in YoVille are 500 coin or more. I think we all know what the bottom line is here. Zynga wants you to buy YoCash, and manipulating the Sweets Factory is a great way to do that. If you really want to catch Zynga’s attention, don’t bother with protesting. Just quit. Go play something else like Gaia Online, Pi Story, or Wonderland Online. YoVille is definitely NOT the only game in town.

OH RESEARCH IS SUCH A WONDERFUL THING!!! DO IT!!!
http://apps.facebook.com/causes/348210?m=085363e0
ur article is FALSE

That’s the problem.. Zynga thinks they have ALL these users. Where are they? Over half my ladder and crew don’t play, or are clones. I shake my head in amazement of these people (Zynga). Half of the logging is from being kicked off the server and having to reload. The forum posts have been deleted left and right.. Whole threads gone several times a day. This article is severely wrong..

More Angry Yoville MOB … http://media.causes.com/574579

Well I don’t doubt there are more users now, with all the protesting going on people will be joining up and coming on to see the action. I for 1 hate the Sweets Factory and have been protesting but not as hard core as some, but to me the worst part of all of this is Zynga just doesn’t care about its players and do not take feedback on this into consideration…if anyone reads the forum they will find that the ninja’s are moving and deleting the negative posts on this Sweet Factory…about a week ago there was maybe 1 for the SF compared to 100 against it, they have hidden all of this.
I want Widget Factory back but lets face it all of our protesting has added players just to come and see what the riot is all about, so either way I see doom for the Widgets. Sad for yoville, but then I guess it will be Mini Planets gain.

More palor tricks by Zynga … could it be that they added Sweet Factory Trials back to cause spike or was it the Nasty rumor that Widget was back or could it be that everybody is having to go back to game so much to the TIME MANAGEMENT GAME!

http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd178/cwhunbun/YoVilleStatistics_1253639940507.png

The day I got the Sweets Factory I uninstalled YoVille…as well as all other Zynga apps I was playing.

So did about half my crew (that I know of)…I had over 50.

I didn’t protest, I just quit.

If I wanted to play that type of game, I’d play Restaurant City or one of the COUNTLESS others. I don’t. So, I quit. Their loss…as I found a replacement easy enough, and my money spends just the same there (well, actually, their prices are cheaper).

I have been an active participant on yoville.com since the site was set up.

For the last few weeks, I have watched thousands of post thrown into cyber garbage. Have seen thousands more in protest of the SF.

I have been called lazy, a whiner, a complainer, stupid, and was even insulted by an employee of Zynga when she compared my concerns and questions to mob mentality.

I expected today to see some sort of response from Zynga regarding any of this but still there is nothing.

I am able to see the ninjas/moderators working hard moving and deleting threads. I have even seen some responses by them but only to those that are supporting the SF.

The thousands that have concerns and complaints still remain un-answered

I have played this game for just about a year now. I logged on to two accounts faithful just about every day. At one time I was up to spending $20.00 a week on yocash that I bought happily to support a game I enjoyed so much.

I have read how I can make more money at the SF and to just give it a chance. Well I did give it a chance and suffered from glitches that I feel should have been fixed before they released it to all *isn’t that what the trial period was for*

Bottom line is I do not have a set schedule in my real life. Things come up and it changes. I can NEVER pin point the exact times I will have for game play.

I resent being told by so many to just find what works for my schedule or find another game.

And I can’t tell you how frustrating it is to do my very best to try this new feature. To spend time trying to figure out my next day schedule and what I should bake only to come back the next day and find all my best efforts have failed and because of a glitch I have a factory full of burnt pastries.

How depressing is that

I love my yoville world. I have spent many hours designing it and it brings me great pleasure. I have custom made art of hound dogs, costumes, and most all of the collectables *except for the new ones that are not really worth their price tag*

I have made lots of new friends who I will miss…

Now all I have to remind me of all that brought me so much pleasure is some pictures I have saved of my rooms on my hard drive.

I play games to have fun and this is not fun

I feel so let down by a game I have supported for so long…

I am off to play other games as there are many.

Zynga today you lose a long time paying customer. How sad that this could have been avoided if you had only cared enough to AT THE VERY LEAST respond to my concerns.

Thank you for reading and your understanding =)

If this is what you, the writer of this article, think, you are kidding yourself. I posted in a thread on the Yoville forum and was post #2445 in a thread that was getting so many posts from people that did not want the Sweets Factory that my post was a dozen posts behind when it was finally submitted. For every protester that you are aware of there are 100 more who will not post because of their lack of knowledge about how to do that or a language barrier. I have personaly lost many friends over this change from Widgets to Sweets. The reason Zynga is not aware of it is that people just left the application without deleting it so as not to hurt the others who are still hoping Zynga recognizes this huge mistake of theirs and corrects it. The protest is obviously the reason for the new ones who signed on to Yoville. They only wanted to see what was happening with the protest. The protest is not only a few! It is nearly everone I know who plays and everyone who I encounter on the game. We are serious about not wanting the time constaints of the Sweets Factory!!! Wake up and pull you head out of your backsides Zynga. The protesting is real and we are not a minority no matter how much you want to believe that or spin these stories to make others think we are a small number of discontented who are not going to make a difference.

109879 people have left the game and that number is going to grow as the angry mob has been patient with Zynga long enough and the word spreads to stay off the game till Sweets Factory is gone!

ZYNGA is removing threads with bad PR concerning the Sweet Factory. A current poll on Facebook has 88% voting for the Widget Factory.

What.the.hell?
This GOT TO BE a huge fat lie.
Or those 120mil are kids with multi accounts.
If SF isn’t gone and Zynga won’t care for those angry people.Then Good Game Zynga.You’ve proved being unable to do well with keeping people to a game.(Back to MMORPG.-_-)

Oh please all these yahoos protesting at changes to what is a FREE GAME makes me sick. Go protest world hunger or something else that actually matters.

I don’t have a set schedule either, so I generaly pick a one or two day item, and then have up to 2-4 days to go retrieve it. I still make more of the imaginary money doing so. Yo cash is an option, not a requirement, and if you pay for it you take your own chances.

This is as bad as the responses when Gaiaonline “Soulbound” the rings in zOMG! so they couldn’t be sold on the games virtual market. The difference being an older crowd.

If our posts on forums hadnt have been deleted you would have seen the true protest results not this ‘arranged’ total Everytime we try to complain the threads or posts are deleted I dont think you are reading the the threads properly …..can we just ask if there is anyway there can be TWO factories THE WIDGET AS IT WAS and the Sweet factory for those who want to continue loosing their coins……let us have a choice, there is space for it and we have choices on the game…..lots of us have been on the game from more or less the start, we have stayed loyal, cos it was a good game,it was fun we could build houses shops and enjoy our escapisum, now we cant, we have invested REAL money in it, and all we ask in return is for you to listen to us the players…. PLEASE LET US HAVE TWO FACTORIES SO WE CAN CHOOSE THATS ALL WE ASK PLEASE…. AND STOP DELETING OUR THREADS TO MAKE IT LOOK BETTER FOR YOUR SWEET FACTORY ITS NOT FAIR AND NOT TRUTHFUL Thanks

I’m a new player…enjoyed the game at first…liked working at the Widgett Factory and then…….I was switched to the Sweets Factory. I tried to adapt….but it STOPPED being fun.The math figures do not add up. Who wants to spends that kind of time baking ALL DAY. If you do…YOU HAVE NO LIFE. After having burned items because of doing other more important things…I have decided to boycott! I will not ask friends to play…because it isn’t fun and I want to keep my friends.I will continue collecting my pots of gold and show up to collect from my neighbors…but…good grief….couldn’t the “brains” of this game come up with some better ideas???

I hope the MTV crowd that Zynga is now recruiting can barrow Mom and Dads credit cards as their parents bail on you! Wrong Demographic to go after! Any good Marketing Analysist should now this.

Wow! This is truly unbelievable. I have seen very, very few favorable comments on the Sweet Factory and many thousands of negative feedback. Yet, you and Zynga continue to act as if nothing is happening. What a slap on the face to your players. Zynga is consumed by greed and perhaps you are benefiting from their revenues to write such a poor and inaccurate article. The petition I signed did not have 159 signatures, it had thousands of them. I can’t imagine where are you getting your statistics but it must be out of a virtual game somewhere.

I wonder how many of the comments here will be deleted as well…

Many of us realized early that they had no intention of getting rid of the Sweat factory, we were angry because we were not given a CHOICE of where to work. If you had the opportunity to read the threads (before they were “lost”) you would know that. I will not be forced to buy Yocash or clock in every 4 hrs to make less coin! The Sweat factory should have been put in the COMING SOON tent that has been empty forever and the widget factory should have been left where it was for the people who play this game that also have real lives! Zynga has made it clear they could care less about how you feel unless you have 50 crew and buy Yocash regularly.

lol all our comments have been deleted as soon as the threads get to big. No wonder you can so inaccurately report a pack of lies You really are pathetic . BTW tho this game may appear to be FREE . It is anything but !! Every time you visit Yoville and do things like visit your friends , decorate your home etc.a nice little tracking cookie follows you and reports back to the advertisers who really are the driving force behind the game .The standard response from Zynga is still the same as always a form letter that does not address a single thing you wrote to them about.I’m beginning to wonder Mr. O’Neil who’s behind your brown nosing. Most likely you are one of the fat cats collecting a hefty sum of cash to spread your lies to keep your plush job with Zynga.

Reading through all of these comments you people just dont get it. Yes there were alot of threads deleted on the forums, now ask yourselves why. I can tell you why, we don’t need a counteless number of threads telling us that yo dont like the sweet factory, trust us, we get it. You do your little protests and blocke the entrance to the factory completely disregarding those of us that like the factory. Wha tdoes that say about you people? You are no better than any of us, if we choose to play, who are you to try and stop us. If it bothers you so much and you really care just about visiting people then do that. I make more money at the sweets factory because I know how to manage my time. It’s not that difficult people. I put in a 12 hour item so therfore have a 12 hour grace period after they are ready to get them out of the oven. If something happens and I’m not able to get them out and they burn, so what, they are just coins, I can always get more. If my biggest problem in life was that a game made things a little bit more inconvient for me I wthink I would be doing pretty good. You all need to get off your high horses and let those of us that enjoy the sweets factory continue to enjoy it without getting harrassed by the likes of you.

well were the minority huh…the im done…as i know alot of others are, well see how small we really are…especially since the majority of us minority as u put us….pay for yocash….go to hell zynga

This is a sad attempt to try and make us think we are the minority……….thats all it is , they want us to think it is only a few of us so maybe we will forget about it and go with the flow……..haaa now they want us to start paying for stuff that we dont get to keep(hair) they continue to say they listen…they are only thinking of themselves not the fact that all of us got them all of these players to begin with….greed it will get companys everytime………soo sad, if no change by monday I will be leaving as well and I will trash this game on my face book page every chance I have……..the truth should be told we have asked for the game we were playing back…..they dont care what we have to say

This article and Zynga are a load of crap. That’s all there is to say.

BULL!!!!

Wonder how much Zynga paid for this!!!

“daily active users to YoVille have since jumped to 3.24 million, over 200,000 more than were active last Thursday before the protests began.”

This is more than likely because many of the regular users, those who are deeply involved in the game, are now “multi-accounting” (opening new user accounts) just to earn extra coins in the game. They set up dummy players, bake their Yobutts off, and then enlist the help of a friend to transfer their funds to their main account once or twice a week.

Well.. .this “minority” like they say, is one of those that is no longer playing, much less, buying YoCash. I am actually disputing my money back. I gave a complaint to Paypal about the company. I have a dispute open and I am willing to escalate to a PayPal claim pretty soon!

They don’t care about the players, to top it all they are calling us liers?!

Why cannot the Sweet Factory & the Widget Factory be used? Let the Yoville people have a choice in where they want to work? If you think there are so many people wanting the Sweet Factory see how many clock in at both places. I think this is fair and it would ease up on all the complaints I am sure your people have had. Good GOD in real life we have a choice as to where we want to work why not in a game!

Yes let us have a choice at least! I dont want to go broke everyday baking and cleaning I cant shop that way.To those who say I make more I say BS! You pay half of those earnings each time you clean and buy new recipes. Its a stupid concept. Listen to the people.

And the new stuff sucks too, its really going down hill. Im kicking my butt for spending real $ in this game.

Pink Ninja post;
At the Salon you will be able to buy hair that will last two, four or seven days. Making the hair last for a short period of time will allow us to keep the price of hair cheaper so you can try lots of different styles, and will also help prevent scamming and hacking of hair. We also think it will make it more fun to change how your avatar looks more often. We will be both releasing coin and yocash hairstyles. All of the current hairstyles will stay available for free, to use any time you want.
The Salon will be our next major feature in the game. The first release will be just the tip of the iceberg so make sure to check back regularly for updates and additions.

I totally dont understand how this so called company gets away with treating people like this GRRRRRRRRRR

Everyone should filing a dispute with paypal or whatever…If enough peeps did it may change something.

Hey all, Miniplanet is a great game instead of Yoville. Yoville refugees are having a great time there. Matter of fact, the ones in charge at Miniplanet are listening to our requests and adding things we enjoy! This Miniplanet game looks to have a very promising future! If any of you wish, join us there!

So, how much did Zynga pay you to write a favorable article?

Yeah ! we are just minority , around 40,000 on facebook.And thanks a lot for LISTENING to us, when will you START TO DO SOMETHING about it ? Except for deleting all the HATE threads we have posted ?
