    Why not just cut out the nonsense and let explorers find dough and candles whatever the player level?

    I don't need to produce a chain of logic which says your wrong because this late in the day the mechanic is set in stone and it's too late to introduce radical changes like that.

    Choosing a pretty number to divide the player base and then having to go for 9:1 ratio to actually make it work instead of going for 1:1 and then choosing the level divider based on that must be the stupidest balancing decision I've seen in a game.

    It's been specifically balanced that way so the higher levels may be forced to buy their balloon packages for gems! Also giving just 5 candles on a prolong search which takes most types of explorers over a day to do is proof of this. Never seen them so low since 2012 when scouts found 1,2 or 3 event resources, (yep it was that bad) looks like its getting back to that now.

    Point is the same thing was suggested last year, by me and others. I fail to see why BB feel players need to be forced to trade.

    That's not true. For example anyone above lvl 62-63 will not have to do a single adventure or a send a single explorer during the whole event to complete all personal goals. Anyone above 54-55 will manage the same by using a few cake buffs during the event which you get from the calendar or achievements.

    Point is, they are not forcing you to trade. You can convert between Candles and Dough, there is just 1 quest to buy 50 Candles or Dough and that is the full extent of the trading you need to do. The only other interactions you need have with other players is the arrangements to have cakes dropped.

    Ok new plan.
    Since the candle amount is very low when playing myself, find an active 50- player (there must be some out there right?).
    Supply with RotM and res.
    Ask for the dough in loot in return.
    Convert the 9x dough into 3x more candles than id get if i played it.
    Profit!

    Might want to check your sums as to how many you will have and be able to convert.....And, not all have 46 explorers. Most who play actually go to work, have family to speak do, even risk going outside sometimes, they don't have the time to focus on sending explorers on constant short searches. What BB could do with remembering it is a game, not a way of life.
