Community Prizes: Mission Impossible?

Community prizes are a great way to encourage people to partake in the social side of the game and lets face it, people don't do it all that often. Think about it for a second, if you're a high level player, you have no reason to visit friends if you have all of friend prizes and don't need any quick cash or XP.

That's where community prizes come into play - the system encourages you to work with your neighbors in order to win a bunch of prizes that can't be bought with doughnuts or by working alone. That is of course, if the system is properly implemented with realistic and reachable targets.

In order to win the first prize we need to obtain 110,880,000 balls. That, according to our current rate of just 7 balls per second is a staggering 191 DAYS away - The event ends in about two weeks, along with the chance to earn these prizes.

Here's the total needed for each prize and how long it will take to get each prize at our current rate and remember, the rate constantly fluctuates and the time in which we will be able to obtain these prizes and should be adjusted accordingly;

• PRIZE ONE: 10 Doughnuts - 110,880,000 - 192 Days
• PRIZE TWO: Springfield Arms - 230,400,000 - 376 Days
• PRIZE THREE: Taste of Duff Beer Truck - 402,200,000 - 625 Days
• PRIZE FOUR: The Gridirion - 538,040,000 - 1061 Days

So long story short, unless EA does something, and soon, we've just given Tom Cruise the plot for his next Mission: Impossible film. I'll update you with any changes on EA's end.
