I’ve lost over 3k fp to this across 4 instances in the last week. I don’t know if it’s server lag getting worse or something else as I’ve never had it happen so much before, but it’s getting to be more than a tad unacceptable.
It’s particularly galling in the latest instance as I was the one who completed the previous level. Which means in the time it took me to click “jump to next level” and enter a value, they received a notification and entered the amount faster than me. I’m on iOS and the notifications are notoriously unreliable but perhaps they were on a different platform where notifications work properly, and perhaps they had a helper tool to enter the amount for them.
I’d also note that I’ve never had the reverse happen where I’ve just beaten someone to enter a value and they’ve lost out in this fashion, other than one time where the other player was completing fp quests while placing (unbeknownst to me) and they didn’t notice I’d taken a spot on the same GB. I’m beginning to wonder if there is more at play here than poor server handling. Maybe my lag is worse, maybe I’m a bit slower to enter a value, or perhaps there is something mechanical about their speed.
Whatever the reason, what started as a minor annoyance is now a cause of great frustration. It takes time and effort to accumulate 3k+ fp and it just isn’t acceptable to me to lose them in this fashion.
A number of people voted against this change without stating why they believe it’s fair and reasonable (other than agent who’d vote against sunshine and rainbows). Perhaps someone would care to enlighten me why the person who loses out so badly in this situation deserves for this to occur.
