Oh Wise One
I can only imagine the outrage of people who already have them placed. It also severely impacts people who have just the one set. If we want the spire prize to be a 'great' set, limiting to a single copy makes sense.
- Your suggestion says that players who already have them get to keep theirs, so they'd be special, now you say the people who already have them placed will be outraged. Which is it?
- Unlike event buildings (which can mostly be obtained by just doing your normal activities), the Spire buildings are not free. They result from significant good and troops sink (which the game needs to keep in balance) and serves to keep players entertained who are waiting for new content).
- They also require space that can't be used for something else.
- Some of us think the buildings can be a useful and integral part of the game but require an even handed balance of what they produce. Changing things people already have is hard. Taking them away is harder. Taking them away from future players while leaving them for existing players is somewhere in the middle. You're proposing the devs pick one of the two hardest options instead of the least hard (which is already being voted on in another suggestion). I doubt that will fly with the devs, let along enough people to get past a poll.
There is no power problem. The buildings require at least as much space as any number of other buildings that do the same thing. Lots of people never bother to place them. Others place them and replace them as they proceed through the chapters. Others collect them because they are cool. Choosing to use them instead of Snow Owls or a Carnival set is a choice, based on what you get for the 24 squares.["Fixing" the scrolls --> Boost+1 doesn't solve the power problem as I mentioned -- it still lets people fill their city with them instead of manufactories. If anything, it makes it more powerful because the resource it produces won't be devalued anymore.]
