I’ve been playing this game for months and have really enjoyed it. Recently, however, I’ve noticed that some of the tasks/challenges require items that I cannot make. For example, a little while ago the Island Event required making massage oil. Since I’m only in level 24 I haven’t unlocked that item, and therefore could not participate.
The other frustrating thing that has recently begun is in the Resort Tournament. The last few tournaments (this week’s included) I’m being pitted against persons who are 10 to 20 levels ahead of me, which mean they have access to items that are worth more craft points as well as have more machines. I’ve had to spend gems to try and get better boosts. And even with near constant playing each day I barely earned enough points to prevent my resort from being demoted.
Finally, the need for sand dollars has been annoying. I’ve completed tasks but have only been earning bronze sand dollars, yet to attract some of the animals needed to complete the Wildlife Missions you need either silver or gold. I don’t think I should have to spend my own money to get these sand dollars just to complete the missions.
That said, I do still enjoy playing the game. I suggest making some changes so those of us at the levels aren’t prevented from moving forward.
