New Scoring, Same Frustrations
This is my observation on the separation of Mayors Pass Points and Contest of Mayors. Our club has many good involved playing members. With the tasks now separated and scored differently, We are no where near where we usually are on the CoM scoreboard. By now we’d be charging through trying to get the Legendary chest. Meanwhile, I’m charging through the Mayors Pass and will run out of rewards certainly by the end of the second week.
This is why the separation of task scoring is not helpful to us. If it’s for the benefit of players who are managing their daily lives, please don’t forget about us who do play very frequently. It’s easier for someone to choose to play less frequently, but you’ve created a system that takes away the rewards for those who like to play a lot. For me it’s therapy, routine, a bit of fun.
I think the creeping erosion of the value Contest of Mayors rewards (Plumpbobs) is disappointing and I don’t think I’m alone in this. Once upon a time you could get 120 green simcash for the Legendary chest, and it was attainable. Also, the amount of green plumbobs needed in the final week 0f CoM is now so unachieveable, certainly not without making purchases.
Please, give back to players to make their own choice how much or how little they choose to play. It’s getting dull already “completing industrial items” tasks so often. I hope this sincerely meant feedback will be of use.
