(1) BAD MANAGEMENT: To remove Attack & Plunder from BA for a start is bad enough, but worse than that, is that you did it midway through the current Main Event with less than one day notice, followed by its implementation on the same day. Most people didn't even know what had happened and still don't, when they couldn't battle their Neighbourhood or etc, etc,
(2) DISREGARD: This is totally unfair for those who have not and cannot meet the new requirements and are now totally screwed, because they cannot complete this Main Event. Your total disregard for Players & Customers who pay your salaries, reveal your true colors of how you value money over keeping all players happy. This attitude of "TO BAD SO SAD" is the fastest way to lose people who feel screwed over by gaming companies.
(3) DISCRIMINATION: How on earth can any Players & Customers complete any Events on BA, even "If" they still have techs available, "But" the quest asks them: Kill 70 enemies? Whats the point of building any Barracks or having having any Troops at all on Bronze Age, when you don't have any enemies to protect your city from? Hmmm dah ! It's a really stupid idea Inno. There is only so many Battles you can do on the Continent Map, while choosing to enjoy staying on Bronze Age.
(4) BRONZE AGE (BA): The best part about BA, is preparing your City ahead of time, well before you advance up the Era's. Far too many race through BA up into Iron Age and get smashed all over the place in GE. The beauty of this Game originally, is/was the diversity of the many Game Styles by which you can play. If people leave the game a few days after they make a City, then there are a number of factors why, not just because someone attacks an plunders them.
* They were not serious in the beginning and probably play multiple games all at once.
* Real life issues can play a part of that
* Lack of Pop Up Messages for from INNO for all new players explaining clearly about being Attacked & Plundered
* Lack of Pop Up Messages for from INNO explaining what Great Buildings (GBs) they need to work at to help them become strong.
(5) BLAME THE PLAYERS: Instead of dressing up your bad choices INNO with pretty diagrams and disrespect to those who your changes effect, why don't you own up to your responsibilities and tell the truth why you do this crap. It's all about money and you don't give a toss who you burn & destroy their fun. When you do this, that's when people leave (True Reasons) and when you do wrong by someone, on average, they will tell 8 people, and so on and so on. So please don' spin crap about giving new players the chance to feel out the game by robbing us (BA) of the right to complete all Events, including Attack & Plunder. Every Era has its own mood, based upon the way you build your City and play, thats what makes this game AWESOME, but you have ripped the end out of my joy and others who love BA. Most of the complainers I would imagine, "DON'T SPEND MONEY", but you look after them and not your Customers.
(6) CONCLUSION: Please don't discriminate and bring back the ability to complete any Event on Bronze Age, including the return of the ability of Attack & Plunder. Most people don't even aid anyway let alone their friends, so whats the point of having another row of useless Hood Portraits to aid? Whats missing is you need to mass promote on BA, to help and show people INGAME what goals to aim for (Short Pop Ups). About 90% of people don't go to your multiple pages to read about how to play the game. Its often by WORD OF MOUTH. Their attention is always focussed on "The Now" (Ingame in your Face) and thats where it will work the best.
