As for me I choose to investigate.
Merriam-Webster defines 'Jump Through Hoops' as: "to do a complicated or annoying series of things in order to get or achieve something"Of course my whole point was to remove some of those non-fun elements in particular the ones that stop you from completing a task without having to jump through hoops when the task is supposed to be a piece of the game that is not stated as requiring you to jump through hoops and in fact is advertised to imply that you will not need to jump through hoops.
You just have to love the words
4 detractors and 3 event tasks
@SirFrancis your ad nauseam notation has been countered also ad nauseam because you (and others like yourself) cannot even make the claims you make with certainty (as you seem to imply) without lying as you absolutely do not know what ALL, as your statement implies, new players will and will not do. So as stated your claim is nothing but a lie.
@rjs66 interesting premises one that cannot be proven nor can it be disproved -- a total statement of pure opinion -- to which I will agree to disagree as I have seen folks do things that just do not make sense to me and yet they have done them none-the-less.
What I find very interesting is that you folks constantly talk in absolutes as if you had facts to back up your opinions which so far not a single one of you have had.

@DeJoker surely if I was to be Inno’s “spin doctor” I’d worried about all that and certainly I’d use better “lure in” procedures in order to make sure their business grows gigantic though not sure if Inno only thinks that way.
I don’t believe so otherwise there were no wishing wells concepts and being able to farm diamonds on multiple worlds to spend in the main world etc.
The business wise game industries with profitability as their core thing would do this way different indeed.
I’d limit diamonds, for instance, accessible in a specific world where it is earned.
But preferably I gave no diamonds at all and would make the game close to impossible to play without diamonds.
Doesn’t make this Inno a cool business though?
I feel some game ethics, they follow, which may even cost some but apparently they are not only a business hotshot with a money hungry attitude.
By competitors you can payoff literally everything!
Inno doesn’t offer that and I like that

That sounds like a fairly accurate description of what is required to complete all the tasks in an event. I think that's what makes them fun?
Where is it stated, or even implied, that you will not be required to jump through hoops because, gosh, that would be too hard and we want to make this game fun and easy for everyone?
You keep referring to "Advertisements" - Reference them with footnotes or links to them - So that we can all "See" the false claims you are referring to.
Actually there is a fine balance between what you give away and what you do not -- the concept of stopping diamond farming I already proposed -- boy you should have seen the backlash I got on that one especially from the Trolls that prowl these forums like Agent327.
As for not giving diamonds away at all -- turns out that is not quite the best strategy -- I have seen some of the most successful games prosper continuously and they do give away something comparable to diamonds. They just do not allow things similar to Diamond Farms. So basically they let you acquire enough to get a taste of what having diamonds would be like hoping to hook the impatient to want to buy more and that seems to work fairly well -- at least for them. But more importantly it helps to keep the free-to-play players around because sometimes they turn into pay-to-play and they help to bolster the game and bring in other players -- so free-to-play players are not all bad for an online game like this either.
Oh let me guess you do not bother to watch or read the promos they send out to everyone -- too bad your loss as I am not going to spoon feed you on that. Do your own homework.
