Are you ready for a game breaker ? Well here it comes.

Honestly, BB is [ Censored ] on players when they make a change like this and then tell us it was requested by players........

Please be careful with the words you use

Thanks,

Please Dragavon, language like that is just going to give the powers that be an excuse to close the thread, Let's keep it clean and try to stop this happening as we all know it would be another nail in the coffin for this game.

I would hate for this change to be adopted and seems crazy from a BB income perspective as well. I often buy extra slots (up to 16 instead of 4) with gems so that over the 6 hours I don't have to be online and refresh the trades etc. There is no point in me doing this now thereby it actually discourages gem usage - and therefore gem buying.

Come on BB, get a grip on reality.

Oh and there would definitely be no need for this if trades always updated corrected in the history tab so why don't you fix a fault rather than penalise people.....

I hadn't even considered the impact on gem purchases because I don't buy them any more but that is a very valid point.

In addition to this, though I myself haven't considered it as I'm saving up for certain gem items, it is going to impact not only on gem purchases but also the weekly gems as it's going to make sinking the weekly 45 in to trade far less appealing... Good sink, bad impact, very good point indeed!

I think the important point from Fishslice's post it that they should fix the fault in the history rather than cover it up with an unwanted change then tell us we asked for it .... nobody I have spoken to so far wants this change, so who are the players who asked for it? Certainly nobody who had to suffer the wait for the seller to accept a trade in the old TO.

To quote, well, me from the thread on the Test regarding the "requests from the community":

A lot of people are now asking that it go, a functioning History window would satisfy most of the requests I've seen and this really is a step backwards. +1 on the "Please don't bring this to the live game."

While many of us resisted the 'new' TO at first it has, for the most part, proved its worth beautifully, this very strange and awkward revision offers no real benefit I can see except to serve in place of the oft mentioned 'working' History and adds several levels of needless complexity and potential for irritation.

Once again having to *stay* at the computer to replenish stock, or scroll through stacks of buff Mail seeking that elusive Trade if we do leave, after we've been freed from the task for months sounds tedious beyond belief.

Nothing SlasH does surprises me anymore. I wish we had the older administration, who seemed to understand what players were telling them, and acted upon that. Plus, they did seem to actually know what a BUG was.

well i was just about to buy some gems but the way things are going i'm not parting with my money as it seems bb are trying to kill the game

I personally kind of like this change. I don’t trust the history to be accurate nor do I completely trust that when I trade things, go offline and come back that they have actually been added to my supplies. Coming online and being able to accept and watch/check my traded resources are added properly is very helpful. Yes I would much prefer a way that reflects this information without getting spammed with mail but I prefer this then nothing.

The other thing I like about it which I do consider to be a massive advantage is that it then gives me unlimited storage. I can keep loads of resources queued up in my mail box without it interfering with my supply limit. I’m pretty sure there is no time limit on mail so this system would let me keep unlimited resources indefinitely. And if there is a limit and the mail does get erased after a set time, it still is useful to temporarily have unlimited storage.

But I can see how not collecting trades automatically would be a massive pain for those that have come to rely on it. So I would suggest for the best of both worlds a tick box in the mail window that has the title of ‘auto collect trade mail’. Thus when ticked all mail from the trade system is auto collected just like it is now. In replacement of the mail containing the goods perhaps the mail could even then be changed to state what resources were contained in the mail and informing the player it has automatically been placed in there storage. Additionally a separate tick box could also be added to completely delete the mail at the same time so no spam occurs for those that would like that too.

I'm sick of these 'fixes' for non-existent issues. I've never had a problem with a trade not adding the requested resource to my storage and I think people who require this feature (to physically see it being added) are just OCD.

How about BB spend some time fixing actual issues, and in such a way that doesn't break issues that have already been fixed!
