Its a fact all Zynga games have technical issues daily and THE ONLY REASON THEY ARE MAKING IT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE ON FACEBOOK. If they werent on FB they wouldnt have all these users. Thats a fact! If Zynga had its own place to go and the games were as crappy runned as they are now, Mark would be working at Burger King. They are the worst games Ive ever played.Zynga (Mark) use the FB people as guinea pigs and we let him get away with this. We complain daily of all his games not working and it does no good. How he is getting away with this Illnever know and they make money from dumb people that give it for virtual items. Its time for people to stand up to Zynga and stop giving real cash and maybe they will finially fix there games. They are all in a shambles. Thats a fact because i play Farmville, Petville. Yoville, Cafe World and CW is the worst. I quit Roller Coaster Kingdom because it was real bad like cafe Worls with the latency problem that was not coded correctly and they refuse to change it. People need to ban together and not let Zynga get away from also ripping people off daily. if you read the different forums of the games you will read many complaints of people that have paid cash and not gotten what they paid for 3 months later down the road. How can a company ever get this far. Its idots allowing it and other pay the price. I refuse to every give Mark any of my hard money when I get noting but headach from his games. The only reason why I play is because of my personal situation being home all the time and its pom FB and its something to to do but its gotten to where its just an awful experience daily playing any Zynga game. Now put that on the chart of all of the complaints, and its not just me that has about had it with Zynga. They have an awful service record, their games are always breaking down daily, and to say anything on a Zynga forum that isnt positive without being ugly your still shut down by the Mods. Zynga doesnt like for any negativity to get out. Zynga is one big Negative in my books. And the only reason why I play is because its on FB and I want to stay comnnectd to my firends there and they feel the same way. Its like e have a barrel over our heads really.

On my FB home page today people were commenting about being sick of Cafe World. They now have implemented some new log in page that takes twice as long and for me, I have the largest cafe and all the stoves and counters you can possible get i the game and its just one big flippin lag. Its the owrst game ive ever seen on the internet. Honestly. I dont know how a compnay can continue to get away with it. They put out their to the media they are so great but in fact they are the worst Game developers I have come across today on the internet. The developers do not know how to code properly, especially in the latancy dept of the game. You can turn blue in the face with your Zynga game reports and nothing ever gets done. They have the worst customer service as well.And try and say something that isnt all possitive about the game on the Zynga forums. The head honcho Mod will send you a notification faster then I can say Zynga and delete your post and all you sais was the game stunk and fix it. They have totally put a gag on any bad publicity to there games. I went to Marks blog and said what was on my mind and I got a email from the customer service manager wanting to call me. I was going to do it but then said to myself,"she is only doing this because I went that far". When I like over 100 reports complaining they didnt care then , why now? Cause I went public outside Zyngas kingdone and FB. Thats why. Well said Annie, I just came from the forums and posted a long messege to the developers.

Take a look at the forums of zynga and the majority of threads are about glitches, lag and food, counters and objects disappearing. Complaints of bugs abound. Even now there are known bugs and glitches but their seems to be quite a bit of apathy in zynga developers to fix them. Instead they just put in more and more gimmicks and heaps of nice new items to be bought with real money. It gives me the imagery of a car that's hardly working, but has the BEST stereo system around.. 'your car's a piece of ___ which won't drive well but love the stereo and lights in it!"

Now when I try to send gifts and put in 20 names when I hit send the application tells me I haven't selected any friends yet - how does one get help!!! I can't find anything that will get this thing working properly. I can't even leave and start again.
