Thanks.
I'm sure we will, among other things.

When I started Waze this morning, I got a bar at the top for a few moments saying words to the effect of, "Congrats on 3000 edits! Have a 750 point candy!" (The candy that I received was only 300 points.)

Yup, that's a known bug. :)

I missed those candies that we had for one festival season if not mistaken for Christmas. I remember the snow flakes, cane candy related to Christmas which I purposely drive to get it near where I stay. It was fun driving around munching snow flakes. Hope this coming Christmas to have those. :D

I'll miss the candies !
Made me feel happy in the morning while driving to work and I always knew, how many edits I made approximately the night before ...

But if you're not able to fix that bug ......
Bye bye little candies

I won't call that a bug. It's just sloppy work ;-)

I also disagree with removing the candies. I use that to get an idea of how much editing I have done without having to wait for the dashboard to update. I also think they are "fun" to see. I don't really care that the points remain the same... the effect is lost if you remove the bonuses. As others have said, I think these need to remain and I think we need more recurring bonuses and more one-time bonuses. Currently, the only bonuses you're like to ever see after your first month using Waze are the editing candies. You're likely to have already gotten almost all of the achievements within that first month and then what's the point? We need more rather than less. And I like the idea of seasonal events and holiday events (these can vary from country to country for holidays that may not be celebrated in some parts of the world). Basically, reasons to get out there and drive. It may not really be necessary to entice users to drive anymore as the user base increases, but it's still worthwhile. And besides, you'll likely find more users who join Waze just because they like seeing the different events. Make it fun.
