as zynga posted on several pages, and ingame notifications,
there are problems with the quest tracking part of the servers,
and progress can be lost,
in some situations, progress can just skip to a finish too, alltough this hasnt been confirmed by zynga
i know its harsh, but.... tough luck.. you cant do anything about it
u know what sucks more:?
if you complete this quest, and the 1mil gold quest, and pretty much every quest..
for the first time in weeks, i had a quest !!! a timed one with rubbish rewards.. but yay!..
the game really starts to suck when you get past these 1500 peanuts.. the game practically loses all goals :)
