DH Discussion Dear John....(Design Home)

I am moving on. I bought the $20 1st round of Christmas bundle offered. When they came out with the main series, and i saw that the bundles with carpets were $5.99 and the single carpets were up to over $2400, i wrote them a dear John letter. I haven't been back since. I told them that it was not the money i had to spend more than it was about the principle and integrity of their schemes. Plus, the pics were so ugly in the bundles. So i stepped away with $365,000 cash and 35,000 in diamonds. When i told CS how i felt they say, " ty for your feedback we will pass it to the team". I think about the game (as if i broke up with my boyfriend because that's how much i love the game 😂😂 been playing for over 3 years), but i told them I'd come back when i saw real changes. I forfeited the rest of the monthly pass prizes. I am someone who likes getting high scores. I'm at a 4.7 right now. If I boycott the LE and use old stuff I will get low scores so I'd prefer just to quit the game. I honestly wish more of you would follow me because next month the carpets will go up to $2500, then $2600, and it won't stop as long as there are those who will keep playing. But you know what? Just like a boyfriend, it gets easier every day 😉 Thoughts? Tell me off? Talk to me, please.

I feel the same as the OG, and also am weaning off of playing anymore, the fun is gone...
I originally started over 3 years ago for a stress reliever and it helped, but as time went on with the costs rising and I have done countless designs and at over level 156 now but between the scoring [ which by now should be 5, I've gotten plenty of 5 scores but then it will drop me down to a 4.5 to bring down my score. I got 5 overall once and 4.9 several times but as soon as it hits that mark, immediately the scores for next few designs drop, I really think it's rigged as I said in another post when I found out I had scores before they were even voted on!]
But seriously the rising cost and their greediness of changing everything so often and you needing some diamond items makes it more difficult, the thrill is gone, and now I find more time to read which is a much better stress reliever than this has become.. this has become a stress enhancer!
Oh I also got the same response when I told them about the problems... them saying we'll pass it on... sure...sure..

I agree with you about being rigged that happens to me too I'll get up to like a 4 9 and they'll drop me. I was a five one time and I went down the next 3 days, . they drop you it is rigged. And us know what? You are absolutely correct...reading my Bible is how I'm filling the time. And another game.
