Recent game changes have been consistently mean spirited and anti player. I had been spending about $10/mo to support the game and to support my guild. NO MORE. Not one red cent.

Your greed maneuvers have lost you my $$.

The most recent thing is the mean spirited mega nerf of gnomeapalooza. Probably the most player friendly thing they have ever introduced now thrice nerfed and made useless.

Well, theres Srine of cunning where two orbs are waiting for u for 10$. Gnomapaloosa is extremely generous and its the only thing anyone could complain about. Man, you get a chance of smashing a horde of gnomes for nothing, whats the problem. The substant, true problem is, for example, when theres no new myth from chests for almost 150 days, like I have now. Stop whining, all gnome events are “too” generous, either way they was nerfed or not.

I paid $100 for six gnomapaloozas that are nerfed to less than half of what they used to be.

The problem, from my perspective, is that the latest round of changes have nerfed the rewards during a palooza by over 75%. Base gem reward used to be 5, now it’s 1. Gold drops during my most recent round - ZERO. All other rewards similarly slashed, except for jewels. Why even bother?

Cause its freebie. The only problem is when you donate for g-o-p, when its radicaly nerfed, but its dev’s fault.

Mega nerf? Useless? Rewards from gnomes was to high before, i understand the nerf. Vkey droprate and verses are the same. I had 7 GAP friday reset now i have 5 GAP and 550vkeys, 52 epic in 28 hours. Play the game and you get rewarded. Vkeys and verses are raining down 😍

I only got to play properly on Friday and a little over Saturday and Sunday. Still plenty of keys to be found.

It’s like whining about not getting free condiments, when you getting meals for free.

The issue is they didn’t think people would live on game for entire weekend. They thought wrong. The people that do this do not need the resources but they want them just in case. 😂😂😂😂. I would rather play for a while then go outside and get fresh air. Not these people. They force every single nerf.

The first nerf on the first Friday was totally expected and reasonable. They messed up. The new nerf is a bridge too far. It’s mean and it’s mean to everyone.

You can say “but it’s free” and that’s my point. Now it is. I’m not supporting this kind of anti-user behavior. GAP was one of the best/nicest things they did in the game, and given how long it takes to find the RIGHT verse, the first nerf was plenty.

Not sure why folks jump in and apologize when the devs make bad decisions.

Well for paying customers they need to find a way to separate those verses and un Nerf them while they still have paying customers. One guy spent USD $100 and is pretty unhappy about it.

My god, you’re absolutely right. I forgot that I deserve to be punished for having lavished my time and money on this game for closing in on 7 years, and having spent the effort to get good at the game. I don’t deserve any rewards at all. Surely the next change will reduce rewards to zero, which is all end gamers like me should receive. 🙄

I play this game at least 5 days /week for several hours, so I don’t mind spending $10 every ten weeks on the campaign _shrugs_

For the folks spending hundreds tho, yeah I can understand your frustrations.

And yeah, I _do_ expect them to nerf Vault Key drops during Gnome-a-Palooza, and am surprised that they were untouched in nerf 2; leaving them so means there’s still a strong incentive for fast-as-possible G-a-P play.

But that’s not going to be as a result of a handful of forum posts; it’ll be because their game metrics tell them that VKs are still being acquired much faster than normal.

Well if they nerf it again they might as well get rid of it. Won’t be worth time spent.

Indeed. The value of a vault key now is not the same as one a year ago. It’s as simple as that, due to the rare odds to land band gnomes, tarots and boss ingredients, you can shred keys for nothing.

When considering posts with xx amount of VK, even if you get 10 times as many as before, their value is not the same, and hence it really should not be nerfed further, boasting/posting or otherwise, as it means the game mode will become redundant.
