Ok, I'm wrong I think it's great that the top players can get 100%+ Attack in Defence from one 20 day event. I was wrong to think that players being able to obtain 2-3 Olympic Treasuries and 20 upgraded Sentinel Outposts is a bad idea, I don't think it should be slowly rolled out over the year. I don't think that they should treat this unique boost the same way as they have with Technicians Tower, its good that the top guilds can dominate more than they already do. I was wrong to think that allowing a huge increase in this Unique boost will have a detrimental effect on both the motivation and enjoyment of 99% of players of this game.
I'm a squirrel and I've lost my nuts. I'm a potato and I've been put in the onion bag, I'm a squid and I've been equipped with quink, not the good kind, the kind that repels nothing. Thanks a lot.
So, it's taken over 5 years to get my Defence in Attack up to 202% and now in one 20 day period I will be able to realistically increase my Defence to 300%+ without changing my routine and without spending a single penny, cent or dime. If you say so, how can anyone be happy about this, you are happy because you will find it slightly easier to do a few fights, but guess what those players you are trying to compete with, they will find it a lot easier and you will never be able to dream of competing with them again.
You could join them of course and be in one of those top guilds, which from experience is about as enjoyable as smashing your face into a fresh pile of horse manure.
Like I said it's a great idea, and although I hate sarcasm and unconstructive criticism I can find no other way to convey my disappointment and sheer bafflement at this decision.
Thank you to all those that complained about 30% defence not being a good enough reward, I really hope you still feel the same way once the event is over, the dust has settled and your city is even further behind. Hopefully you'll have enough perspective to at least be thankful that the difference between your attacking armies Atk and Def has narrowed very slightly, finally (for those with OCD about that kind of thing, it will actually benefit you as you will now be able to place Atk bonus buildings). The rest of you can go squeal at kittens.
If you hadn't noticed, I'm not complaining on my own behalf. I can get the huge increase myself, for free, along with the other 1% of players, but I dont think I should be able to, I dont think it's fair, or balanced or intelligent or right or sensible or acceptable or friendly or nice or decent or in line with the previous (32 day) event. Pandering to a few complaints has resulted in one of the most stupid outcomes I've seen since I started eating wallpaper paste (if we aren't supposed to eat it, why do they make it so tasty?)
