My first post , hi everyone
I've started to play again after skipping a few long-long years. Finished high school and uni, got a real job, and finally have a chance to spend some money on my "old" hobby, FoE. To be honest I really liked the new premium event pass system, as it gives the opportunity to spend a lower amount of money in every event and get nice additional rewards. Add a few diamond purchase as well, and you can build up a strategy to get what you really want. Like sort of a subscription, just much better than FoE plus.
And now, I ended up in the category of unlucky players who can't buy golden pass. I find this approach very unfair as the game gives me less options compared to another players, and I will miss out a lot of rewards that I actually wanted to pay for, but FoE doesn't let me to do so. A/B testing something that affects event rewards (the most crucial part of the game to get new buildings) on live server is ridiculous in my opinion.
So I have decided to "boycott" FoE if they don't fix this until the end of the event. I know that my decision won't have any effects on their finances, as I'm not a "big spender" who spends thousands of $ per event. However, don't forget that "regular subscribers" like me are the ones that made the owners of streaming services rich.
In conclusion: no pass, no diamonds, not my money anymore. I hope you are satisfied with the results of your testing.
