And another round of 100% offers seems to have started in my small cities. Still only crap sales in my big city. I and others have come to the conclusion that Inno does not give a rats behind about us high level long term players
Even in #1 FS on Elcy we are losing players pretty steadily (2 more leaving when they can be replaced). Also watching other high level players I've known along the way drop out and quit. Reason? Burned out with what the game has become lately
Case in point. I am back on page 1 of ranking due to no real effort to that end after being on page 2 for quite a while. I'm right there often feeling like it is drudgery instead of fun but still want to do my part in my great FS. It is just really disheartening to see people leaving the game like this for the first time. I'm thinking many other players are like me where an influx of diamonds from a good sale, like lower level players get, would go a long way toward being able to make some fun forward progress! Most of us have spent loads of $$ on this game already so why the punishment for being good or great customers?
1. Obviously unfair to never offer the best sales to high level players! Does Inno think we wouldn't notice? This is just a slap in the face for loyal customers!
2. Expansion that cost $100+ Seriously??
For me it is really, really annoying every day to have that last expansion sitting there waiting for a good diamond sale!
3. Required or not, feeling obligated to participate in the spire which is nothing but a treadmill of frustration. Play the spire to win "prizes" that need to be used up to play the spire with any level of success. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat... Remember that spire difficulty is a calculation based on game progress so stupidly hard. (adding: can't wait for the frog to be downgraded
)
4. Because of spire drain on troops & resources the tournament is now a pain. They have sucked the fun out of this too! So many worked to maximize tournament performance just to have it become almost impossible to do well in both the spire & tournaments. Besides, just how many 100 battles does it take to become BORING?
4. Event did go back to chest system. That was a plus. Of course that is only to find that it is almost impossible to upgrade the Valentine building to 10 without spending even more $$ than usual. Add no second day of wishing wells and.....
5. Completely burning out with the ridiculous quantities in chapter 15. That is not a challenge! It is just gouging us so we don't finish sooner.
Is Elvenar actually looking to chase long term, high level customers away?? If so, they are doing a darn good job at that.
