I agree with LordB above.
As a newbie for gaming, would it be entirely unorthodox for the developers to be a bit more friendly? Act like they like the fact that we play their game, and give us the occasional heads up, or even a preemptive explanation?
I'd like to have a game experience where Team Elvenar includes Players Elvenar, but I find it's difficult to trust. Rather than looking forward to updates, chat is often centered around "how are they going to screw us next?" It's not PvP, it's PvD[eveloper]
Don't think it really needs to be this way. Even if some difficult changes are needed for the the game, a straight up explanation would be appreciated by most players. There could be some give and take, even. Instead, we get transparent obfuscation attempts like "quests will guide you".
When it comes to the Wonders, we're just seeing that you're intent on screwing us out our hard won boosted relics in exchange for very little. Even knowing this, you won't give us any reassurance, any reasonable expectations for the future.
