I think what we can take away from today is that people’s definition of what is best is different to different people. But ‘best’ clearly doesn’t mean the same as pleasant, likeable or nice to be around! In other news - GaP has been super fun this weekend and I found my last music gnome, good old elusive Cindi Savagelips! I hope most people have had rewarding and productive weekends too ---

For the record, you can increase your speed in the game by about 20% using a touch device over keyboard/mouse. ---

Other than something like “working as intended” I don’t expect one. In a week or two people will have moved on to talking about something else. They’re waiting it out. It is exceedingly rare that a nerf is adjusted after the fact. Our choice is to play GAPs or not and that’s really it. I won’t be surprised if either the drop rate of Vault Keys is nerfed or Vault rewards themselves are nerfed, though. Even after the changes there are probably higher-ranking people that view the system as too generous. ---

They still need to answer our questions about what is too fast and what is too easy. It’s unacceptable to leave this go. I’ll bump this thread every single day if I have to. ---

> [@ats1080](#): > > Let’s not forget that Australia has had a full work day on Monday already and not a single word from them here In the past they’ve usually avoided showing up at all on the forum for about a week whenever something wasn’t received well. It’s very unlikely they’ll ever be seen near this topic again, they’ll just pretend it doesn’t exist from now on. ---

Being unacceptable to players and being unacceptable from a business perspective are two different things. A lot of veteran players have seen this become more and more standard, unfortunately. In other words, we may want an answer, but no…they don’t “need” to. Even if they do it’ll likely be generic boilerplate hand-waving anyway. ---

A lot of veteran players have seen this become more and more standard, unfortunately. It is our job as customers to make it clear to them what we expect and I don’t feel like we are asking much here… ---

I’m okay with the nerf. It is what it is. I feel for newer players tbf, but…it could not continue in terms of resource aquisition. I’m not okay with the turn going to the AI with potions and silence on the subject, and then the nerf being fixed. I’m not okay with the predictive move, where the gems move before you move them, which still hasn’t been fixed. I’d sooner core, basic issues about turns and moves be fixed over broken content being added, fun or not. I did okay with the Gap, 19 Gaps, 0 verses dropped in any of them, but I got enough doing explore, so maintained equilibrium. ---

I got two of them after the first GaP and two of them after this, my last one was same as yours. 😁 I’m not sure if I had fun. It was exhausting. 😅 ---

I’m happy with the last changes of GaP. With the band gnome’s decent dropping rate, it’s much better than the first nerf. ---

Please don’t say you like this nerf. "No simping for bad behaviour.’ Rather, it’s not as bad as the original “messed up release” nerf in terms of giving then taking away of player resources. I still hate it. ---
