Pay more attention to your audience, ATA!

  1. Hello, everyone!
    I have created this post to point out, like all the other members inside this community, that ATA should stop pulling multiple maneuvers in an attempt to get an easy paycheck. None of us is an easy conquest for you greedy and negligent developers to be profiting off of. There have been multiple occasions where we've voiced our opinions either in these Forums or in surveys that are conducted, all to have our thoughts and suggestions disregarded and tossed out. This repetitive cycle makes us question the objective behind asking what our thoughts are when there are ridiculous updates that are irrelevant and completely different from the ones that we have mentioned. It is nothing but a waste of our time, and it is evident that you are purposely taking advantage of your audience that has spent a tremendous amount of money to make this platform relevant or popular to begin with, and it is upsetting. If the majority of sources, growth, and entertainment are hindered behind a pay wall, then it is neither an enjoyable nor a decent game overall. The lack of creativity, thought, and care that's invested in this game is poorly executed. To all the fellow members of the community, we as a whole shouldn't continue entertaining ATA if this is the treatment that is reciprocated, despite wanting to grow. Is it worth investing time or spending money in a game all to have your thoughts rejected or accounts wrongfully banned without any specific reasoning or clarification? The reason why there is no change is that a portion of our community is still donating money to this organization, and ATA overall, won't consider what is at stake because they won't be getting any penalties regardless, which most definitely should not be the case regarding this issue. Thanks for listening to this message, and please feel free to voice your frustrations and opinions about what changes should be made, and how we, as a community, can make it happen.đŸ©·

  2. After black friday 2024 I let my VIP subscription run out and haven't renewed it. I believe it was their horrid Halloween event that pushed me over the edge on that one and I really havent been impressed since.

    Halloween was atrocious.

    Black Friday is always a cash grab.

    Around Christmas we got the 2nd dorm which was free if you were active but they've done nothing to balance pvp to go along with it.

    Since 2025 every second hunt has included invites.

    Lucky boxes and shard avis are being released at increased frequencies.

    XC events like the spotlight (pvp) and rate my dorm (creative) have major flaws that havent been addressed.

    And while theyre so busy pumping out things for people to spend ec on they dont even have the space to make hunt boxes an original design for each hunt.

    And now this Dino event is also horribly structured.

    It's exhausting. I'm not renewing my VIP and I wont be buying EC or DNs just because they keep pumping it out.

    They did listen to us about a search for gifts after yeeeeears of the community asking for it.

    And I do see surveys being taken into account for hunt themes.

    But that's not enough. During ATA day they say they love their players but I dont see that to be true with how they ignore the community and actual gameplay improvement for those who aren't spending for LB's.
     
  3. Totally agree ata are just cash grabbers without a though about what the players want
    I’ve given countless ideas to make the game a little better and was even told the same crap đŸ’© as always , we like your ideas but cannot confirm if these will be implemented 😂 same response as always. It’s time you started to listen to the community
     
  4. People have been posting to the feedback/suggestions forums and ata clearly doesn’t check it. Same with the hunt posts comments. There’s so much that could be added to improve the game but if they aren’t getting money from it, forget it!

    The only time I’ve seen them really listen was to bring back old shard avis and they did but abused that. 5 ongoing throwbacks at a time? People were still working on the first sets and I myself was frustrated because people moved on from opening the boxes/trading them and I had to spend money to open them myself instead of the usual paying someone bentos for shards. Which I only have 1 time back when I first started playing. So they definitely had more people spending the ecs to open them! And with the mass box openings, it of course lines their pockets because “hey you have 20 boxes, why not use this special feature to open all at once! Come buy the 20 keys.” After I opened the years worth of speed ups it’s almost useless to me, but that’s just me.

    Back to them not looking through any suggestions/feedback, I understand some things wouldn’t work out like others suggested gifting old avis from your account to others but tell people why you wouldn’t/can’t do that or anything else. Some engagement would be nice. Or with upcoming projects, ata has a game website and forums they could post upcoming designs/features/updates. That would ‘maybe’ help with keeping people engaged. And don’t lie to us. Saying you’ll have something shortly available but no word on anything (second dorm unlocks). Give some kind of excuse as to what’s taking so long instead of ignoring it.

    And the new rs gifts timing feels like another cash grab imo. Couldn’t this have been put out for the Valentine’s Day hunt? It’s such a random time to update it and I genuinely didn’t see anyone asking for it. Looking at the prices 199ecs for a ring that has no stats attached? Idk I’m not letting my rs waste that on me and I’m not spending that, especially now with everything ata is doing. But they put it out to squeeze more money from everyone. Because who doesn’t want to flex the new ecs rs gifts.

    I know ata will not see this but I’m posting to show others our frustration and hopefully they’ll gain some understanding. Some people are still giving in and feeding them money acting like the company truly cares about the quality of their game.
