Criticism: Find Fireflies DROP RATE

bikeboy (GB1)bikeboy (GB1) Posts: 486
Are GGS taking the water works with the drop rates, Just harvested 13 hen coops, 2 pig sties, 5 cows sheds and 7 fields and got a grand total of 20 fireflies. Harvested another 7 fields of corn and got 8 fireflies. I have not collected the mill/silo yet so no point telling me that they "pay out" the best. I looked at a drop rate spread sheet and I am sure it said 20 or 25 fireflies for a cow shed, so looks like I got SFA for the cow sheds, 7 hours waiting time for nothing. How long would it take to get the fireflies if a player only logs on a few times a day to harvest milk, pigs etc ?
Aha! I just harvested an apple orchard then cleared cache etc, harvested another orchard, cleared cache, did it 7 times and got 7 lots of fireflies. Took ages re loading the pages.

    I have not noticed any decline in the drop rates. But since we're talking of a -% chance that the item you want will drop from a building, stable, orchard or field there's no guarantee that they will in fact drop. Some days the odds are against you and other days you get swamped with stuff..

    yeah i suppose its swings and round-abouts but after harvesting another 13 hen coops, 7 apple orchards, 2 pig sties, 5 cow sheds and 7 fields i would expect more than 1 field and 2 hens "paying out" , mind you 1 hen coop gave 10 fireflies. Then again some will always see the sunshine even when its pouring it down.......

    Totally agree, the drop rate has been terrible. I harvested 7 corn fields, 2 cows, 6 chicks, the mill and the silo and got 8 fireflies in total. Have not had any out of the orchards at all this event.

    I try to have this Fairytale event ( level 5) done before sunday comes.... Going to a holiday and don't have time to play.
    But these bread crumbles are impossible to have. Nothing from cherries, nothing from apples. And from fields, i have tried everything. I have a lot of special seeds but no luck with them. Ordinary seeds, don't even want to say...
    And i really want to have this done, i want that new appearance.
    No, i don't have gold to skip everything (and don't want to waist my gold to skip)
    Please GGS, do something about the drop rates!!!

    Is it possible to have some kind of booster to have more of these droppings???
    Something we could buy with FARMDOLLARS (don't mind to pay a looot of dollars, but NO gold) or earn / win  someway.
    And maybe we could choose in what event we want to use it. PLEASE, think about it!!!

    Isn't that what the weekend fireworks are supposed to do, boost collectibles from events?  
    Must be my farm, or my luck, but I never seem to have a problem with these events.  I've been collecting breadcrumbs for less than 3 hours and have over 1/4 of them already.  Level 5 of the event.

    I have not had a problem either, but then I put in a lot of hours.  I do notice that the items are very slow to appear until you get halfway, then they come faster.  No proof of that, but sure seems to be the case....  :)
