Your current game set-up is killing big players
Posted: Mon Aug 13, 2012 8:12 am
I could count on one hand the number of times I have posted any negative remarks on this forum. I have played the game regularly for a while now and I enjoy playing or indeed I used to enjoy playing. The game is becoming a bind and needs to be evolved and streamlined. Simply put it is high maintenance and turning into a full time occupation.
Your current game set-up is killing big players with lots of cities. I play in w43, ranked #2, with 8m+ points, circa 200+ cities. I simply don't have the time to scroll through one city after another, clocking up scholarships to earn that elusive scholar and at the time of writing, this is generally 2 per day. That unless of course, I spend my entire day farming like an idiot and ending up with repetitive strain injury.
And here's the thing, is this an active discouragement for successful players to eventually bin this world and start again as you have rendered it virtually unplayable, am I being penalised for being successful to allow others to catch up? Well first off, I have unfinished business in this world, nor do I have the intention of starting again. I have nothing to prove to myself or indeed opposing players. The likelihood is that the app is deleted because I no longer feel the game designers are able to keep pace with the pace-setters.
The game needs streamlined. It needs made more user friendly. This is a game requiring urgent evolution. Summary page for scholarships detailing the total achieved, outstanding required and number of scholars available. ONE CLICK FIX
On a similar theme, scrolling through countless cities looking for current or historic attacks on me is painfully dull. Again, one click action required. And before you say it yes, I've refreshed the portal on more occasions than I care to remember.
Anticipating a little more than, yes we know about it, yes we are fixing it, will be online within a month or so. Presently I do not see me tolerating this tedious level of attention required in the medium term let alone long term.
