I know I said I wasn’t going to post about Marketplace items anymore but this one is funny. Zynga like to bribe VIP players into purchasing 50 Skill Point Reallocations and does so once a week. For some reason they feel the Cable Guy is a valuable item because this is the 3rd time it’s been offered. In August of last year it was a useful item [1]. In February of this year, not so much [1]. Today it’s quite laughable. Players can spend an hour or two in the Arena and max out on Army Technicians which have better stats (I have 45K of them to spare). Skill Point Reallocation is the worst way to spend your reward points anyway. You are paying Zynga for skill points you already earned or purchased. For the same price, you can wait for a 2X Property Build. At least this bribe should make it clear that you are throwing away your reward points. Here's to Zynga taking advantage of the suckers who are born every minute!

This is exactly why I am quitting this game. Stuff like this. Zynga taking their lows to a new level. I have been away for a week and nothing has changed here in Mafia Wars. Same old spinning revolvers and slow play and same old Cranky Facebook to deal with and Zynga thinking we are all so stupid to try and sell us crap like this daily.
