Okay let's look to this.
take a couple of updates:
Deposits versus tapsites:
Deposits, all were always occupied - tapsites, i see now 93 at radar, 8 are occupied (sidestep: not for long ;-))
This is what players told would happen, Plarium tells: no, players are not right, the statistics say.... (lol, just check tapsites on the radar everyday and you have your own statistics)
New items:
Most of them provide bonusses for warfare, on both sides, defense and offence. But, you need to pay for them with Xtals ($$$)
This is not making the game more challenging, no, it makes a war more predictable. The player with the most $$$ on his bankaccount will win!
Upgrade chips:
Again, the player with the biggest bank account get's the provit. With $$$ they can buy chips, with chips they can buy extra upgrades, with the extra upgrades they can make, store and transfer more resources. So is this challenging, is it tactic, is this more competitive? NO, it's again, who has the biggest wallet will get the profit. So who buys wins,!
I just took some updates as a example. There are a lot more, i leave those examples to other players to give.
But the fact stays, Players say no to these updates, with the reason it Kills the game... Plarium tells everytime, no, it's making the game better.
And this is happening for ore then a year now. I advise Plarium to rethink what they are doing!
In the real world, a lot of retailers went broke. Why, they did not listen to their customers. So their customers went to another shop.
What happens here ? You know the answer....
