Maybe this was all planned Geron, maybe they adjusted just because of game numbers, maybe they read and even listened. We will have to wait for their book to be published.

Well, if they made these updates ONLY because of feedback from the player base, they are a bunch of incompetent fools.
Note, this is NOT an insult: I'm not actually saying they're incompetent fools. I'm saying that they made mistakes (but not at the level of foolish incompetence) and the results of those mistakes were so obvious that they simply acted to fix them. No feedback from us was necessary for that.
But, are you suggesting they're incompetent fools who needed feedback to recognise that reaching 1% of a target after 25% of the available time frame was something that needed fixing?
If you read the original diary carefully enough, essentially all of the clarifications in the FAQ can already be gleaned from it. They've simply corrected obvious mistakes, and have not responded to any of requests for additional information.Originally Posted by fishslice
As an example, they've done NOTHING to try to resolve the problem (which was also blatantly clear from EotW) that 10% of the playerbase doesn't know (or usually care) what server they're on.

some people put on shoes, tie them up, take a walk.

they become untied.... sometimes they get retied because they are noticed by the wearer, sometimes someone tells them "your shoe is untied". I will wait for the paperback.

People complained because EOTW was too hard and too time consuming, now people are complaining because this event is a resource sink, oh and the adventure is exp only in rewards which is no good for these at level 50.
IMO seeing which server can make the most balloons from resources is a great way to show economic output, and those at level 50 can surely donate larger amounts seeing as apparently a fair few of you have no building space on your island.
It seems to me t hat for some people BB will never be able to win, kudos to them for still trying to do something different even in the face of such negativity.
Oh and those who have decided to exercise their right not to participate I assume you haven't redeemed any of the many codes that are floating around? Yeah thought so.
Gytha, some servers could do eotw, get 100%. None could do this one, get 100%, until they changed it today.. So until they changed event, it was just a black hole for donating resources.

Kudos to BB for a very different sort of event. We are doing a warm up at the moment, where they can work out how many people can run and how far. The rest of the three weeks will be more serious and hopefully good fun.
If people won't participate, and don't think we will win, then we won't. If people try, participate and make it work, we can win. Tbh, I think it might be worth having an event that is optional to participate in so that all the people that want to just sit and make wells, fields, mines and stockpile gold coins can ignore it and leave the rest of us to have fun with other motivated people who do want to put in the effort. We end up carrying the people that are 'above such things' and it's a bit galling if they get rewards for not helping.
BB is quite competent and very trustworthy about many game things. These special event things are not one of them though.

That's not a complaint, just an observation. And this event was noticeably flawed from the start. Fishslice saw that, as did others. Just how it is/was.
We gotta keep complaining to keep BB on their toes. Remember they didn't do much in year, which lead many lvl50 players to leave the game.
