Facebook Vampire Wars: Big, Fat, Hairy Deal!

Hi! I'm not a real vampire. I just play one on Facebook Vampire Wars. (Lucient Bog at your cervix.) While the game's sometimes been a little too much of a distraction in times past, the really annoying part of Facebook Vampire Wars, is all of those little "gifts" other players send.

Aren't gifts on Facebook Vampire Wars a good thing?

It was no problem getting them in the beginning of learning to play the game. Most other players ease back once they see you're doing okay on your own, and others ease up in what they send when you make a request via status update, but not the game.

Now, the missions themselves have little "finds" of these virtual boxes containing multiple prizes/treasure/abilities. Players finding them in a mission select the one they want and send the rest to friends. These friends are randomly selected, it appears.

What effect does this have on your level of enjoyment of Facebook Vampire Wars?

It sucks. Can you hear me now Zynga?

How does this negatively affect Facebook and Vampire Wars from Zynga?

Any visits to my home page and then to suggestions/notifications is now consumed with either clearing out all of the offers, by ignoring each one at a time, or ignore all and the game becomes harder to find later. What a pain. Being forced to either miss out on playing altogether, or, have to wade through sometimes hundreds of unwanted gifts each day. Forcing participation is no way to keep a game fun Zynga.

Give Facebook Vampire Wars an example of what you consider a fun game Donald.

Years ago, before the internet, there were these games that kids loved. I was one of those kids. These games were so fun that, we'd not only walk all the way across town to play them (Games like this were in places called "arcades") we even spent our quarters to play them! Now that's a fun game! Never once, as a kid, did I even get one piece of junk mail from these highly profitable machines forcing my participation like Facebook Vampire Wars does.

Facebook Vampire Wars becomes "Fehhbook Whatchamacallit game thingy."

Add to this app and it's ridiculous programming, and all of the invites for pillow fights, hugs, and baked goods...from other guys...and Facebook is finding themselves with a home page that's almost no fun visiting anymore. It'd be great if admin caught this message but I doubt it. Why would anyone at Facebook care about one guy's opinion?
