@Snowwhite ... that would be impossible as A: Customer Service (and General Winters does not play this game). B: Neither do the developpers play this game C: They don't even have a testserver. 

 

So they can't share their personal in-game experience as well ... they have none ....

I will explain why this new change was a setback for me and extremely bad timing. I have hit infestations a lot. I had used up most of my army on infestations prior to this change. My next win would have therefore given me at least a 10 mill offense army. Instead I have now won back insufficient amounts to continue to hit infests. It will now take me a long time to recover and win back what I should have already won.

People who had already got a major win on infests and stopped there before the change or already had a large army by not playing infests so much can be happy, but for people like me you have ruined the game. My army is down to virtually nothing and how long is it going to take to win a large payout? Okay I might get a big payout eventually when I can rebuild my army, but for now I have to do nothing but rebuild for months. 

Mr. Winters, face the fact that you have caused this problem.

 

So ... I have been doing some looking at the other forums where this new system has also been introduced.

Nothing personal but man the feedback is OVERWHELMINGLY negative.

From a business and money making standpoint how can you consider this a good move?

I already know that you will not let all the servers vote (including Geotopia) because then the new system would be out the window in a week.

So I am curious.

Why do you force an update you know will decrease your active players, decrease the sale of crystals because of that, make you lose long time players and generate very very very bad will with your community by constantly ignoring them.

 

I get that you want to make new things. But when the player-base is this overwhelmingly negative about it, maybe not a good idea to keep shoving your updates down their throats and lose players faster and faster?

I just honestly don't get the concept of the way you do business with your games.

The "take it or leave it" approach has killed sooooo many games already yet companies still continue to follow this business model.

And it baffles me .... completely.

LUCIFER, first of all treat every forum member, including the Admins and Moderators with appropriate respect. We are all here for the game we love, so please don't forget this.

What I ask you  is to re-read the posts with explanations about the new system. If you have any question, you are free to ask me.

@It's time to stop. Yeah they are not going to listen anyways. Nobody likes this system, the forum visits from people are dying out because everyone has given up trying to talk some sense into Plarium because they don't listen anyway.

I give it a year or so and this game will shut down. Simply because they continue to add things nobody wants and not giving the players what they really want.
