[Feedback] New Event Resources

[fangerious]

I understand some of you wish there was another way to get tokens and cool items, but the event's goal is to rebalance the economy in a way that is satisfactory to the players who have been saving different event resources during the last years.

But are you rebalancing here? The rich players who have saved huge amount event resources from previous events already have all the "cool items", otherwise they would have used the leftover event resources to get more cool items.
Also, even if there was another way to gaining the tokens to newer players, the rich players would still have a huge advantage.

Now, I understand that this is a way to compensate these players, and by allowing the resource conversions, you are already doing this. The only thing that you will be "robbing" them is the opportunity to get obscene amount of resources through trade (assuming they already had what they wanted from previous events), thus making the rich - richer.

This is your decision to make. but I have to say it's a little disappointing.

And what of those people who paid resources for those leftover event items then? Are they to be penalised instead? BB have struck the balance the only real way they could, and thats by giving the people with the event items a chance to sell them on and recoup, and by giving those who didnt get all the items they wanted the chance to get them by buying the sellers items. BB do NOT dictate the trade office prices and therefore what they have done here is the only fair way to remove event resources.

I personally don't mind whether I can buy yet another set of cool stuff or not - I can spend half of my tokens to get more grout and the other half on guildmates in need - BUT if BB would like to gain as much as possible out of this, they shouldn't keep the limits from last events.. Reset the limits, and gems would be bought and spent a lot.

Also, I don't follow the argument how a 4th MoMA would do further damage to the economy. The only thing that a 4th MoMA could do (compared to the other 3) is to save a little time. It's not like you can do yet another adventure and gain more loot for free - troops need to be trained.
The value of resources doesn't matter that much. What really damage the economy is a shrinking market because of a decreasing player base.

Personally just calling it an Event and then finding its really 3 shops that you need a special currency (perhaps bought with gems) in order to buy anything is creating disinterest, disappointment and a feeling of some large section of players being completely ignored.

When i first saw the word 'Event' I realised immediately the main purpose and that is indeed very fair and nice of BB rather than just converting all old items for a gold coin. BUT 'event' also brings to mind a contest something for all. I was not expecting anything really huge maybe a quest chain and co-op adventures dropping tokens.

BB make it quite clear what the purpose of the midsummer shop was, it's there in black and white in the first announcement about it. Most of this thread is down to players failing to comprehend what was wrote.

I comprehend very well thank you. I just thought it would be nicer, if it was a real event and not just a trade-week.
Of course BB are the developers and owners of the game and they have every right of not doing this as an event. They could have not done anything at all, and it would have been a legitimate decision as well. Just stating that some players get the shorter end of the stick due to this decision.

Have to agree with this if players had a 4th MMA it might reduce your barracks queue slightly on a FT and could possibly knock 5 minutes off a regular adventure but not much else. certain parts of the economy were ruined with poorly thought out changes like the amount of settlers in loot killing bread for instance.

I was rather hoping there would be some sort of event or crisis quest in the summer, game is stale at the moment not many friends or guild mates logging in for long these days.

I wonder if BB would consider adding random amounts of event resources to the adventure loots during the event by way of compromise?

This would allow lower level players a chance to collect them and maybe buy a building here and there. If not, they could make gcs by selling theirs on the trade office.

At least this would mean nobody would be excluded from the event if they didn't want to be.

+1 sounds very fair to me
