Some ways to make up for the frustration:
1. Anyone who levels up during the current shambles gets triple gems.
2. Anyone who completes an adventure during the current shambles gets triple xp.
3. Anyone who manages to see this through to the end jumps 3 levels. (l.78, 79, 80 players need to come up with their own suggestion. I have no idea what it's like playing at such a rarified level, so will leave it to those who know)
4. We get one gem for every time we're bumped off chat just because we travel between an adventure and our home island.
5. We get 1000 granite for every time we cannot send out an explorer first time of trying
