Hey where is that multiple gifting option we've been asking for since oh forever? Where are the improvements to PvP we've been asking for? Or war hunts? Or a fix to the plunder bugs? You know improvements to the overall game experience. Nah you're right work on spinner items and pin hunts. That's exactly what we needed. Check my account you know how much I used to spend. Not a penny more till you start listening to the players. And I'll be encouraging my entire club to do the same. As well as calling for a non spending protest to all BC stats who will listen. You think super pros hurt you're bottom line. Just keep ignoring us. See if your small stat rpers can help make up the loss of income.
To the person who said if ATA was money hungry they'd just sell the avatars in the store - I don't know if you've noticed, but it costs WAY more in cats and dn's to get a decent Avi than ANY of the avatars in the store cost. When hunts were first introduced there were no cats and it really was just a way for people to win something through activity and club members working together that otherwise cost money. I remember when they started requiring cats, then b2b cats, and now flash cats to reach top tiers. TBH given the constant hunts with daily flashing combined with people spending massive amounts of ec to open boxes along with the new prize spinner where they're getting ad revenue players have every right to be pissed they don't listen to us at all. This game makes a LOT more money than it used to and we all know that. So why has it gone DOWN hill for the player base? Why do they only care about bringing in new players and ignore the wants of those who got them here and allowed them to create this cash cow for themselves? A perfect example of them ignoring their player base would be this: would anyone disagree the cute key hunt went over well? Those keys and items are still hot trading items. They're not an avatar or tier based hunt. Why have we never seen another, similar hunt? Because it's easier for them to recycle the same old thing over and over, and because they don't listen. It's still a hunt, it still encouraged cats, it was just a break from the monotony of what seems like the same exact hunt over and over.
First part won't happen but second part yeah I agree lol my tut went from 450kcs to over 2mill in 2months so no trouble there (yeah we did some cc n ppa but we did a lot of pro parties and super pro helped her as well) its not that they can't grow its that most small accounts are role players that most true game players hate
its the weekend, they don't have time for this stupid game. They will be back Monday with more of their "sorry not sorry". They will have a good laugh at us, then throw out a new hunt.
For 5 years now, ATA have been telling uscall how they listen to players. They say they want to improve the game. They even try to tell us that their feedback system works !!!! This thread represents a move in a new direction for ATA. For the first time ever I actually believe that they are really paying attention to the opinions of the players. The long and sustained replies that Grant has made show that there is at least some hope of change for the bette, a new future where ATA lower themselves to interact with the plebians who ultimately pay their wages. There has been a lot of negatively on this thread, and that is understandable. It's easy to see the frustration of people who have committed so much and gained so little. It is however, agood sign that at long last we have an opertunity to see the rational for decisions. I appeal to ATA to allow more interactive conversations like this. In the longer term it will result in better commercial results for the company,and better gameplay for the players. It will be a slow process. ATA must actually listen, not just cherry pick what they want to hear. In return players must be realistic, and accept the slow progress that will ecentually lead to change. Hopefully ATA will conduct more of these interactive conversations, so we all can reap the benefits on the future
Let me break down what they said - people have been doing super pro parties instead of using actual money to buy catsata just wants our money and now u buy cats to grow yayah
you are a b2b cc legend, not sure if what you say is significant to community but sure it does to ata
I think the reason you remove super pro is because most high stat player choose super pro than cat cafe, and makes you get less income. that's why in last hunt you add some rewards, which impossible to be done without doing cc. And so… you don't want to experience less income in the next hunt, and decided to remove it……
Also, you say SPP affected your bottom line, but you had them while running a two week hunt where it wasn't all about the cat party. Most people were more interested in collecting pins, which meant not going to b2b cat clubs. That wasn't the SPP, that was a change in the hunts. If you had made cat cafe drop max of all 3 ribbons and a chance at all the rare pins, I bet your bottom line wouldn't have been nearly as affected. Its unfair to blame Super Pros for the last 2 weeks. You could have kept them and exempted them from hunts. Basically, you could do supers but they don't drop any of the current hunt items for whatever hunt is going on at the moment. That way, people who don't want to hunt could try and get the super pro drops, but wouldn't get any hunt items. I bet you would only have a few clubs doing super pros during hunts since most people enjoy the hunts and new avis. I bet you would barely notice the drop in cat revenue AND you would keep players who are sick of hunts happy.
B2b cc legend? My dreams have come true! I'd like to thank the academy, and all of the little people who made this dream possible!
So you promise for it to stay now your saying you going to remove it hmmm seems sctechy to me at least give us all something for your lies
So you'd rather invest your money on a game that looks like it's about to crash and burn than invest it in your career or education?
All I hear is blah blah blah we dont need no damn further explanation. Your greedy as hell and your taking them away because people aren't buying cat after cat. All this is going to do is make people not want to play anymore. So good job ata you guys suck.
Well said post. Couldn't have said it better myself. Perspective from another large player who has spent good money to have fun in this game chiming in. You introduce super pros... The amount of damage they took to complete barely kept up with our increases in stats. Superpros really weren't all that difficult to complete. We couldn't even get max drops without using cp and or using DNS because the super pros simply didn't even last long enough. Now you want to take away super pros, great all the time and money we put into this game and we have to run the same parties as rp nooblets who won't spend a dime. Don't even get me started on cat parties...they're at the point where they're the new super nooblet party. If they reach 45 mins it's a miracle. Why not introduce a cat party that can take massively more damage. Like..more than these weak superpros. I'm personally sick and tired of having to cater to super nooblets just to keep the game fair. We can't even have 50b and 100b gifts because super nooblets can't afford them. Here's a news flash for all the Marys and nancies out there. The world doesn't owe you squat. The world is not fair. Strap the heck up and grow a pair. And seriously ata. This send one gift. Go all the way back to their profile, send gift...scroll and scroll till you find a gift select..send...and then 100x over or whatever the max is ....is an ASININE process. Can we please get a drop down menu to select how many gifts I'd like to send to my friends please? I'm a very generous person but this gift process is just a tedious mess. Time to wake up ata. Smell the coffee. See the writing on the wall? You know what's next.
That's a crock explanation, no wonder a lot of the old players that made this game at the start are leaving the game, your getting boring ATA and always coming up with bs as an excuse, clubs mcs and pros you need to grow to be allowed in not to be hand to on a platter, make it fun again bring back the old days of pimd, stop pussy footing around and making it easy for the Rp fans, there never use to be that crap in Wc and now u seam to allow more of it, as each day that goes by, and plus how about you start sticking up for the ppl of the game that hav stuck by you over the yrs and fatten your pockets,
