I’ve expressed my thoughts on this subject many times before, so I’ll keep it simple here:
I stopped putting money into this game a while ago, but I still haven’t sold my assets or left yet. The truth is, I still believe this game can succeed under the right conditions.
Whenever a new asset is sold by the company, I ask myself: "Hmm, should I buy that?" Lately, the answer has been a clear NO.
What the company needs to do is change my mind. Prove me wrong. Let’s remember, I’m just one of many players. My individual opinion might not matter, but if these feelings are shared broadly, they’ll start to matter.
If you’re telling me that the rewards for my efforts and time playing the game will be reduced by 33%, you’re not motivating me to invest in new sets or assets. In fact, quite the opposite.
So, who is this update really for?
Definetely It’s not for real players like me. But its not only that is not for real players, this update actually HURTS real players.
Do you truly expect whales and bot farms to buy the new set when the time comes?
Honestly, @yabapmatt, you need to stop basing decisions on the thought process of "What would Matt do?" What you would do as a player doesn’t matter since you’re not a regular player.
If you keep making decisions from that perspective, only whales will remain in the game. Whales might hold a lot of assets, but they don’t sustain the game or make it grow. Only real, small players will.
Anyway, great post dave, I agree with most of what you expressed.
