Farmville and the Bull: Future Player Punishment? Cash Grab? Awful Idea?

Once upon a time, there was a Bull that would show up as a Lonely Animal and even sometimes be a Limited time Flash gift.  Then the other day, the Bull was set to no longer be a Lonely Animal, and No longer be a Limited time Flash Gift.

This was of course because Zynga in its infinite Wisdom decided, to Punish future players that, at least for right now, will be unable to get a free Bull.

So 20 Cash in the Market, that's about 3.63 US Dollars or so.  If one buys a 55 Cash card that is.

So Zynga I know its not often you folks feel the need to answer me, You do like to take my ideas.  So Lets try this one.  How about explaining the 20 FV$ Price on the Bull?  And what will happen once the Mexican Theme Expires? Will Mr Bull Be showing up in Future Limited Themes?  I look forward to the Exact Same Bull in the Thanksgiving Limited Theme.  Remember Zynga if you wanna release pretty much the same item again, You have to do one of the following:

  • Change the Color
  • Change the Size
  • Put Clothes on it.

If this was a Poncho Bull, I doubt most players would have been Ragey.  A cute little Mini Bull, I bet would have sold pretty well.

The only Upside is to you players that need some coin and have some bulls, they now sell for 10k in Coins.

Or this is secretly the 2nd sign of the cow-pocalypse  As hinted at by that question awhile back.
