When did I ever say they dont do it? When did I ever say they wouldnt do it?

I was talking about a very specific statement and situation, they increased ally points rewarded and said they dont like to decrease or take away rewards, which is why they didnt lower them down when tournaments were removed.

Sure you can use other examples that does also include rewards being removed when a whole game mode is removed, but still not the same thing, as they removed the whole game mode/event for it's own reasons. There really is no way to remove those things and then keep the rewards present.

Increasing rewards for X reason, and then reducing them is never something they like to do. No that doesnt mean they will not do it, and no one said they wouldnt.

Moving gear into and out of nodes is also not a 1 to 1, as they did make other things more accessible.

Not that any of this matters, so can we get back on topic please.

I didn't say you said they don't do it, I very clearly quoted you saying they don't like to do it. Which we both know is what you said. But whether they like it or not, they do it all the time (as you have acknowledged).

But, back on topic: they clearly have no actual intentions of un-nerfing Bronziums, else they would have used more definitive language. "We will explore a possible fix in the future," translates to "we know what the problem is and have decided it is too expensive to fix."

Did you use one of those online translation sites? They're helpful, but not always accurate.

No, I’ve just been here for 5 years. You have declined to do just about anything to Bronziums at all (aside from changing 5 attempts to 10) in those 5 years. You flip flopped a bit on uses for ally tokens.

But, if you knew you were going to fix it you would have just said “this will be fixed in a future update,” not “we will explore fixing it.” The use of vague language covers your butt, because you know you may not fix it.

Maybe it was simply because you knew it would be hard and wanted to see how much we would care. Experience (specific to this game and this game studio) tells me that you used that phrase because you know it will never change, but you want to kick the can down the road a bit so we move on and stop bringing it up after a while.

There are a LOT of assumptions being made here.

From the start I've stated I would share as much as possible whenever possible. I'll continue to do that. Everything we were able to say about the issue was put into the original dev announcement. The call was made to make the post to give players as much as warning as possible regarding the changes so they could plan accordingly, even though we couldn't say more about the Bronzium packs.

I know it's frustrating for players to not have access to all the info, and I can understand how you might try to read between the lines - it's fun to do that sometimes. But I'm seeing enough conspiracy theories being bandied about here to make a sequel to They Live, which would be rad because I dig that movie.

@CG_Doja_Fett it is not just the lack of information, which personally I get, there also tends to be unclear information that causes reading between the lines (mostly see this with kit releases).
Note: To me the original post was very clear as to what was happening (even if the community doesn't like part of it), so please keep this up.

Understood. I'll do my best to make things clear, and when they're unclear I'll do my best to follow up (when and where I can).

I know it'll take time, and I appreciate y'all for your passion and commitment.
