I have no idea which change you are referring to. Could you identify what mistake is so glaring that in the US it would cause you to lose your job?
Well, for starters, we the player base outright told INNO what flaming fething MORONS they were being last year when they released an event in which:
1. had an
unlimited quest line for generating infinite 'free' event currency.
2. featured borderline OP prizes. (Brown Bear + to a lesser extent Polar Bear)
3. gave out time instants like friggin' candy at every single turn.
We warned them within what, 5min or so of the the Fall event releasing on beta last year that it was going to be a colossal clusterfeth of game breaking catastrophe?
And not just
once did they release a pack of 8hr time instants as a daily prize, but they did so
twice!!
(or were they 14hr time instants? I can't recall
)
Oh, and they also stupidly made the 2nd, or was it the 3rd? most grand prize efficient chest also hand out sizable amounts of time instants.
I mean seriously, what kind of a complete mental reject does one have to be, to NOT see how instantly abusable this was going to be?
A bloody 4 year old could have played this event for all the marbles and made off multiple brown bears, the abuses were so plainly obvious... the only reason that we
don't all have 4-5+ brown bears was simply due to the time factor involved to:
a) grind out the required amount of endless quests
b) sit around all day clicking endlessly
I know every member of my Fellowship last year was instantly aware of just how easy it could have been to run the event into the ground. Most didn't though, simply because they didn't want to babysit the game for 16hrs/day over 20-21 days.
But as long as you had even just 1000hrs or so in instants saved up prior to the event, and the time to devote to it, it was basically automatic to crush out 10,000's of event currency for $0.00 and walk away with however bears you wanted. (or at least, until your wrist fell off from all the endless click-click-clicking!
)
The only real snag one could have hit that would have potentially built up a pay wall of any kind, was if you were beyond unlucky enough to get 3-4 VV quests out of every 6-8 quests or so once you hit the final quest tier...
The game is in the state it's in currently because some idiot who's probably never played the actual game had the mother of all brain-farts when they dreamed up a superbly dumb event, likely while on a bathroom break.
In a reputable company, that's easily grounds for kicking your can out the door, as I highly doubt that event was in any way the 'money maker' INNO stupidly thought it was going to be.
...oh, and for added lolz, this was the 2nd time they made that exact same feth-up, since we'd already gone through the same dog-and-pony show in the Mermaids event, where plenty of players walked away with 5-8+ fully leveled grand prizes.
