We are back to old school. Guest roads connect the buildings to the portals.

Thank you! Awesome! I have it all planned out and realized one type of Hub wasn't touching the Portal so huge relief.

Seriously. More scrolls?! :-|

I wonder if the developers think this helps solve the scrolls problem? Won't players just reduce their T2 production to compensate for this new source of T2 ? Maybe there will be a new event building that is a scroll recycler... changes scrolls into a random good.

From what I read the building gives whatever your T2 boost is. It just happens that the player who posted the pic is a scroll boosted player. This won't really help the scroll boosted players but at least the market won't be even more flooded with scrolls than it already is, since the crystal and silk players won't be getting scrolls.

Even though it is still a couple more months away, a little info has leaked onto the Beta forum about the June event and it will be like the one last June, with a set of buildings, rather than an evolving building. That also means, like last June, because there are no artifacts, there should also not be an FA following it.

This is really the point I was making, however sarcastically. The people whose boost has already been so sharply devalued are the exact people who lose out on this opportunity. Meanwhile, people who already have easy access to crystal or silk will have yet another avenue to get more.

I am scroll boosted and I would not wish scrolls on silk or crystal boosted players. Giving them more scrolls means they will make/trade less crystal and silk. That also solves nothing. It like wack-a-mole.

....any chance that the issue of scrolls, with this particular "event"...could be....say...re-worked in some way? Looks like a nice building, but really, scrolls...again? sigh

The devs have said they're working on a 'fix' for the scrolls problem, but well...
I think at this point their idea of a 'fix' is just removing the offending Spire Library set to a 0-1 crafting recipe and calling it "job's a good 'un!" >.<

It is identical to the last one, so you can use the info from that.

The voice of reason here ^^^ I have almost 5mil scrolls & I do not take any trades from anyone wanting to give me more. What a mess
Kekune

Yeah, logically I get that, and I realize that shifting the burden onto someone else doesn't solve the underlying problem. (Though fwiw, I suspect a decent chunk of people who would gain scrolls from this simply won't place it.) This just feels like salt in a wound... kicking us while we're down... that sort of thing. There's part of me that's thinking, "geez, pick on somebody else for a change" even though the (slightly) more mature part of me realizes that is neither sporting nor effective.
It would be nice if this building offered all 3 types of t2 goods, like the panda bear or the gingerbread house. Then everyone gets an equal benefit. I know that doesn't support trade, but it would make this equally appealing to everyone. Because as-is, I won't bother to place it.

I understand what you are saying. And if the trade environment was even then an evolving building that provides T2 boost makes total sense. Thing is, I do not think the Devs realize how severe the scroll issue is. I honestly feel they feel they solved the issue by taking the Moonstone set out of the Spire so that players can't get multiple copies anymore. Now if I were a Dev and were trying to compensate for the scroll problem, I would have the upcoming evolving building give everyone silk. Then I would have the next evolving building give everyone crystal. Mind you, the course of action I just outlined is the 2nd best possible solution. But the Devs have already rejected the BEST solution, which would be altering the Moonstone set so that instead of giving everyone scrolls it instead would give T2 boosted.

Why do we think Inno will do anything else, since with every day that goes by, the number of cities (new players or new cities of old players) that need scrolls increases, while the number of cities/players complaining about scrolls stays the same or decreases? So every week and every month, this "problem" only decreases in Inno's statistics.
Yes, my 4+ year old Live city has way too many scrolls, but my 10 month old Beta city can't get enough scrolls. And neither is boosted in scrolls.
