Don't let these posters/players get to you; we need new ideas around here, lol!I guess, I won’t ever make a suggestion again here.
They're a tough crowd, but you're now in the spot where you're the one who has to go back and edit the first post to reflect the ideas discussed here and how they can be handled/incorporated. The process is detailed in the read before posting sticky, but generally:
After you're sure everything is exactly the way you want it, you tag a mod and ask for an official forum vote. It's a yes/no vote over a specific time frame with the end date of the vote visible. No changing the original post after the voting has begun. It's like changing the wording of a referendum on a ballot after some folks have already voted on the previous wording: not allowed. I've seen ideas fall apart in the voting stage because someone left something out of the original post. Most veteran players thought it was 'obvious' how that situation would be handled, but there were loads of 'no' votes because it wasn't there.
Also, this entire process only pushes the idea through to the global CM's. They have a 2 week process for voting on ideas submitted from all the global forums that determines which one(s) goes through to the devs each cycle. The rules and process were developed in conjunction with the devs.
I'm convinced the whole thing's so convoluted and layered because (as a group; not individually) the devs prefer moving forward with their own ideas uninhibited by us pesky players, lol! So if we stop pushing through new ideas, it's a win for them.
As to your question about *why* a player would want to upgrade set bldgs separately? I'll use myself and Moonstone Library set as an example. I'm a Spire veteran from the days when you could get multiple of those sets. I have 10+ complete sets placed in both cities (and more in Summonings, just in case, lol!). I like using the 1x1 bldgs to complete the 'upgrade a bldg' event quests and I also can use more of the resources they produce now that I'm in sentients. However, those libraries take 16 RR's to upgrade and I don't need more of the resources they produce. I keep them for the CC's and that doesn't change with chapter upgrades. So, I'd never choose to upgrade the entire set.
