"Thank you for volunteering to feed these starving minions. Hopefully their rescue pod will arrive soon!

Wow! You managed to pop its protective bubble! Lil Doo can't stay here anymore, so why not take it home with you?"

I wish staff would weigh in on this.

yeah the topic is open for a 2 months already, pretty sure they saw it, so it would be great if they would just say something..

I have read many of your posts and here is my take:

What happened to feeding the needy for no reason ... we don't need to be rewarded for every kind thing we do. (being helpful and generous is not a bad thing)

It's a game if you don't enjoy it don't play it.

Improvements have been made to this game like the ability to search for the item button and if you have it in your stash you can feed it in five seconds, we used to have to open multiple windows to find the item and time would expire. I played Major Drills last night for the first time and had to feed Minions and it was a pleasure to do so.

there is a difference between being greedy and having a feature be so weighed in luck that its not even worth using. I mean given the chances of getting a minion are so low I know plenty of people who got the achievements and never bothered with it again.

This is a game. This is not like real life, where not feeding people can have dire consequences; this is a bunch of pixels going to pixels and we have things to do that are just for the purpose of doing them, there's no reason this has to be one, too, when it's not meant to be.

No one is demanding that you get a minion every other pop, but if you have to feed them 400-500 times to get a minion, well, it does start to feel like a chore more than a game. I'd rather it be completely up to chance; where you can get a minion at random intervals, such as 15 or 50 or 100 or 250 or 500 or whatever. I actually thought this game was broken for the longest time because I hadn't gotten a minion in a long time, so I just don't visit unless there's a reason to, but then happened upon this thread. It's not broken, it's just... not very good chance to get anything from it. And the improvement, as there was only one, which happened in many places on the site, it wasn't specific to this game, seem minimal, at best. It's very annoying when someone comes in and tells everyone they're being entitled or whatever for wanting a prize from a game they play. You shouldn't be shamed for wanting a game to work... like a game. If it's bothering you so much, maybe stay away from people asking for actual improvements. It's great you find pleasure in just doing it, doesn't mean others have to or want to. This won't affect you in any way.

...... Thank you so much for your insight.

I too would like to see more things to do with minion feeding

I didn't even know you could get anything from this besides achievements, I would be neat if the bubble popping chances increased a little...

I did not even know there were achievements to be earned for feeding those minions. How many do you have to feed in order to get the achievement?
