I do appreciate this game is not just made for me anymore it has been for you. But we need to point out that not everyone is not happy having somethink that is hurting out islands forced upon us. If we don't similar things may happend again and BB will not learn that this easily cud have been concieved as a optional buff. I do not believe this should be turned off as others do like it, but BB should have put more thought in.

*Edit* My finale post in this thread.

Sorry mate but i think you play this game really bad. :) ask some consultation about economy because this games is all about. And now its really balanced now all buildings have they purpose. It was fun that ppl build cannon chain only for making quest or titanium chain now its all useful. And this PW stuff as fishlich mention for running out resourse i hope they make something for gc cuz now this game have really to much of it... So dont blame game blame your bad knowledge about this game. You just playing worst scenario in this game.

Sorry if i offended you but just cant read anymore when ppl cant calculate and blame system not them self.

Your logic is terrible, those are different issues but you're pretending that they are the same thing. Making cannon forges etc useful by changing loot drops is one change (that no-one is complaining about here). Having a two week period where economies break and islands that were tuned for maximum performance (as you say, the point of the game) is a different one. Stop confusing the issue by dragging in unrelated points.

Finally, someone who recognises the obvious motivation behind this.

But then BB's mistake is selling this as a benefit to the players rather than a fix for their failing to sort out the island economy for three years.

and some things you dont like others will. youve been spoilt by getting all your weapons from loot and bb have reconized that production chains for high end weaponery was null and void. theyve now made a change where your actually have to have production chains for your weapons and your complaining? your lazyness has turned to complacency.
Im loving the extra 50% production atm and i planned for it a few weeks back and will be producing iron and steel swords all the way through it with a minus 10k coal/h and im a relatively new player which this patch has hit the most. established players moaning about productions chains didnt have their island set up properly in the first place

Can you read? Nobody is complaining about the new loot in this thread. Nobody even mentioned it until ViliusV further up who made the same mistake that you just did. Changing production chains for high level weaponry is fine, it was broken before and I'm glad it's being fixed. That isn't the thing that people are complaining about here.

I shall refute this point thus:

Even without Production Week, nobody had their Damas, Iron Sword, Steel Sword and Cannon production chains set up to take into account the changes this week.. as every single one of those chains had some/all of their base production times changed AT THE SAME TIME they introduced the Production week bonus!

And, furthermore, speaking as an 'established player' who actually is quite enjoying the added production of some weapons at least, I would like you.. and other people trying to say that we are incompetent and don't know how to set an economy, to understand that my production is fine. I am not going to run out of resources any time soon because I have hundreds of thousands of coal, iron ore, copper ore and so forth to spare. My reasons for wanting this 'bonus' turned off have NOTHING to do with my inability to deal with the change of production times and EVERYTHING to do with the CRAZY AMOUNTS OF LAG it is contributing to... the same way 'Explorer Week' did a few months back.

Now... as at least one poster here has implied, is it 'selfish' of me to actually want to be able to play the game? Maybe.... but nowhere near as selfish as it is for the folks here who are basically ignoring the fact that this 'feature' has decimated many players' ability to play the game and are crying out for that decimation to continue because it means they are able to make some extra weapons.

They have done similar sinks and the past and removing resources would make zero sense in combination with the new loot system. They changed it to make the weapon propdutction useful. What they want to get rid of is the huge weapon stockpiles that most high level players sit on. Most of us have thousand upon thousand of crossbows and canons in storage so we won't need to run those buildings anyway. Also, if the reason for the change was to make weapons harder to come by by forcing you to make them, why on earth would you then also remove the resources used to make them? It makes no sense at all.

So even if they were out to make a huge resource sink. Why on earth would they change them for weapons then if they wanted weapons to be scarce? Nothing about the resource sink hypothesis makes any sense at all. Unless the devs are even more stupid than we previously thoguht which would be quite an achievemnt given they have shown to be unable to do basic multiplication.

The problem is that the resoures are needed fo rmultiple things. If I run out if copper due to a change in the copper smelters and bronze weapon smiths, I also run out of tools for my mines and nibs for my manustripts. That's the problem.
