Considering you are not the first, and likely not the last, for this to happen to, it is concerning. An ad shouldn’t be able to execute anything, let alone something this shady.

Hi, when starting from a new account, what would be the earliest moment to confirm if the account is flagged to receive the the new bonus ads and hobby room?
i.e. If you don't see the hobby room tab in the builder hut during the tutorial does this mean the account will not be getting ads? Do you need to have a minimum progress for the hobby room to appear?
Thanks

I have received messages from Inno support indicating that I do not have the hobby lobby because I am in an 'experimental' group.
Typically, the 'experimental group' receives new features. The way Inno does it is backwards.
I think it inappropriate that Inno has created an unlevel playing field by refusing to just give the feature to everyone.
I would like to hear the opinion of others - then perhaps create a poll so that Inno understands what it has done wrong and is encouraged to rectify their blunder.

Be careful what you ask for. The latest trend seems to be things are optional until it isn't. Don't want to do cauldron? Too bad. Your tech tree is faded out until you research it. Don't want to advance to next chapter? Too bad. The game will play itself and advance you through a few chapters. Right now clicking ads is optional. We might be heading towards a day when they're not...

Favouring some players with the option of using a hobby lobby, while others on the same server do not have it, seems very backward to me as well. I suspect there is more to this. The programmers at Inno are probably trying their best within the system they have to work to: at least Endless Scrolls got evened out eventually.

You don't have to view the ads. Just keep an ad blocker active. But since the treasures sometimes contain diamonds...

I'll take your builder's hut off your hands. Yup, two builders to upgrade 10 buildings at a time. Not so bad, given the 6 or 9 squares the builder takes.

I don't know how to adblocker my phone and I haven't seen any diamonds. I did see some scantily clad lasses and laddies a few times though.

My problem here is that it was pushed to the live worlds. Whether one likes it or not, wants it or not, uses it or not is irrelevant as it shouldn't have been pushed on live this way.
BETA is supposed to be the testing ground, just ramming it through to live is absolutely not acceptable.
On beta, I can understand the testing and thus possible unfair advantages, as that is the purpose of that world, but that shouldn't be happening on the live worlds.
My guess is that Inno is pretty desperate for extra revenue and that's why it went live as well.
For those who do have the hobbyroom AND want to use it, it does give an advantage, especially during the FSA as it makes it (a lot) easier to collect certain badges, which gives an unfair advantage in the ability to go for ranking for those who care about that, or as a FS want to go for a certain ranking in order to gain the building that goes with that.
And how much 'testing' is needed on the live worlds? There should be a reasonable amount of data now on how many people of the 'in-group' have used it and how often, considering the number of live worlds active.
So either implement it or scrap it. But keeping an uneven playing field for months is just a horrible way of handling this.

Every experiment has to have 2 groups: the Test group and the Control group.
You are probably in the Control group for the experiment on your server.
This is not "backwards". It's not "inappropriate". It's not "wrong".

No thanks, most of mine are level 5, I might have a couple at merely 4.

You see scantily clad women on commercials on network television too. Who cares? I don't understand why so many Americans are so stuck up on seeing skin.

I don't watch network television. Too many ads and scantily clad lasses and lads.

I open the ads and wait out the few seconds cuz I like to get the little prizes. Also cuz some of them completely crack me up:
-The plush hanging dead monkey being strangled by a human hand
-"Cremation Urns Are Our Passion"
-Re: the 'scantily clad' hangman's girl: just walk down the street in your city and you'll see more boob that she's showing (IS quite well built, however...jealous)
