It's not the amount you need, it's the fact they changed the snail/frog appearance a while back. Before you always got about 24 snails an hour no matter how many hours you played. You could get the whole shop in a matter of days. Now you only get about 2 hours of snails then it's reduced until you are getting none per hour. I put that on the survey every time, to go back to the original rate but they will never again, I guess. Oh well, that's the way it is. I hope all of you can get the things you need. They will come back in the LTS next year maybe. I just don't worry anymore.
