Perhaps.... Have you changed chapters since the last FA? The prizes are exactly the same, but if you are in a new chapter then technically they got better....
. I would have thought they would at least change some of the prizes or quests... So freaking boring.Actually it's both, Inno has obviously bought hook line and sinker into the concept of pitting 'friends' against each other to coerce diamonds out of them, rather than the more acceptable method of well designed competition among 'strangers' or the even more acceptable method of offering stuff worth buying! So yes, people that act like jerks are to blame but pushing people into more and more jerk inciting situations is not a blameless act either.
Uhmmm stating something is obvious doesn't make it a reality. It may be your perception, but it is not obvious. That's like saying someone who owns a bmw is partially responsible because their car was stolen.... The culpable party here is the user. I have yet to see any scenario like you described happen in any fs I am in...then again I play with mature, responsible players who are not into unnecessary drama.
You're right but looking at what has actually been done in the game over the past several months does. I started playing this game over a year ago and found one of the main attractions was the feeling of community and peace among everyone. Spenders, purist and everyone in-between helping each other in mixed FS's. It was unlike any of the other games I had played in that regard, no constant push to divide the classes into their little groups where they could push each other harder and harder. All the big spenders standing right beside each other driving the game into broken territory while it became more unplayable to everyone else. The division just wasn't there. Everything they have done since the tournament changes have been going as hard as possible straight in that direction. To me that equals obvious.
Sorry you feel that way. I have been here 10 months and have not seen or felt this division. Maybe its the group of people you interact with. Every FS I am in is nothing but accepting, generous, and helpful.... But like I said... I avoid the dramatic and hyperbolic people as much as possible, and stick with more likeminded players.
I consider them to be the canary in the coal mine! Maybe it's not as bad as someone with a martyr complex, or someone with a revolution against the power complex or whatever other complexes get written off as 'dramatic' but the rants of these fringe elements should not be written off because you haven't seen or heard or experienced those things. They should be an ominous warning of where things are going. But what do I know, I have a revolution against the power complex.
. But we'll get to plan, produce and play together as a team. We made a big deal last time out of who got to 'capture the flag' at the end of each round, including temp promotions to ambassador that allowed them to get the flag if necessary. All members kept that rank because they had been so active in that event and continue to be really active in chat, visits, and helping each other with trades. So, we'll do the same this time and just enjoy doing something together. Here's hoping the developers make improvements in the future will make it more enjoyable.
When will we know if it starts Monday?
The usual pattern is release to beta then release to live servers one week later. The announcement that it was starting on beta gave somewhere between 2-4 hours notice the event was starting. They'll make an official announcement on live, but I wouldn't expect it before Monday morning if they plan to launch Monday afternoon.
...And hopefully your ToR hasn't been murdered back down to Lv1 thanks to the new clusterfeth of a patch/fix that recently got released!And if you happen to have the Temple of Relics in your city, there's an added bonus.

Thankfully, no! I'd freak...I only have that in my Beta city, and I love that thing.
Well I've read your forum posts, and I've spoken at length with some of the players in question, and based off that I'm far more likely to believe their side.
Cooperative, not competitive. HUGE difference.
Oh, because it's soooo hard to track who has contributed(and will therefore get a prize)
You seem to think we are cracking a whip and force players to make X of Y badges, but it's far far simpler than that. All we do is track who has contributed so that no one misses out on a prize. That and if one player wants to focus on making all dwarven badges the rest of us know to focus on other things. It's actually pretty silly imo for everyone to just make random badges as you might get to a point where no one has made the required 1 day badges and you're out of time. A little communication and a third party tool for that communication goes a long way.
Being an AM and tracking stuff to help the FS run smoothly is quite easy if you aren't a terrible AM.
Foul on the play, 10 yard penalty.
Again, that's not what I said.
I think the perfect AM is one that provides for their FS needs. If they have members that need and like a little more direction, then that can be provided, if not then not. The terrible AM is the one that berates her FS members if they volunteer to help with communication tools that they feel they could use in the FS just because the AM is too lazy and unwilling to delegate/share "power"
I'll tentatively agree with that if you will agree that a good AM could also recognize when tracking would do more harm than good.
