I would also really appreciate it if you could consider implementing a temporary tutor price/hiring freeze for accounts that have already received the Great Dorm Tower upgrade, at least until the remaining eligible accounts receive the update.
The tutor market is becoming an absolute nightmare for those of us who have not received the upgrade yet.
My current stat is 123 MCS, while some accounts that received the upgrade are already reaching roughly twice my stats. Because of the sudden influx of stats from the upgraded dorms, my long-term tutors are being hired away, and I’m often unable to hire them back because the other accounts now have significantly more money or I get hit with the increased hiring cost for tutors I’ve had for years.
The problem is that this isn’t simply a matter of choosing not to spend. The delayed rollout is creating a situation where accounts that received the upgrade months earlier have a massive economic and stat advantage over accounts that are still waiting.
We spent thousands of CoH building ourselves up to where we are now. But instead of being able to continue progressing when the update eventually reaches us, there is a very real possibility that all of our accumulated money will have to go toward rehiring tutors that were pushed out of our hands because other accounts received the upgrade first.
That means by the time we finally receive the Great Dorm Tower upgrade, we may have already spent months trying to survive an artificially distorted tutor market — while accounts that received the upgrade earlier had two months to build an even larger advantage.
It’s especially frustrating because some of us were already at 100–150+ MCS and had invested heavily to get there, only to be effectively sidelined by accounts with lower stats simply because they happened to receive the upgrade earlier.
If a tutor freeze isn’t technically possible, could you also consider providing a temporary Cash Care Pack to accounts that are still waiting for the upgrade? Even a temporary daily or weekly cash boost during the remaining rollout period could help offset some of the additional hiring costs we are being forced to absorb because of the staggered rollout.
The point isn’t to give waiting accounts an unfair advantage. It’s to prevent accounts that haven’t received the upgrade yet from being economically punished for something completely outside of our control.
Ideally, we could have some combination of:
• Temporary tutor price/hiring protection for accounts that already received the upgrade
• A temporary Cash Care Pack for accounts still waiting for the upgrade
• A clear MCS range
We need some form of protection while this rollout is still ongoing. Otherwise, by the time we finally receive the Great Dorm Tower upgrade, we may have already spent most of our resources simply trying to maintain the position we worked so hard to reach.
