This is not new, this has been around for years. Did Inno need so much time to see what's going on in their game? :-o

Don't worry. It's "not intended"; "a technical issue"; "a byproduct" of "an update that sets a limit on Quest Aborts ". They'll fix it... ehm... "immediately"...

How is this killing the fun at all? All it has done is add a half second from being available upon the quest window popping up. There is no hassle at all - at best, a very minor inconvenience. If this is what it would take for you to quit, then you probably should have quit a long time ago.

Lucky you, if it's only a half second. It's 2 sec for me.

Slows down my RQ loops, for sure. Almost half a minute to abort 12(?) SAAB quests.Guess that makes me 4 times more proficient than you!

Love how the delay is meant to stop auto clickers. This does nothing to stop them but the legit players that spend time on your game you punish. To stop the auto clickers you should be implementing a heat map of clicks. Auto clickers click the same pixel each time. That way you will see with ease who the cheats are. Please revert the change to stop harming your legit players. All the cheaters have to do is adjust their delay time and they carry on. Yes they dont get as many but it is still way more than what is deemed realistic for any player....

Great, so some announcement saying was not intend, on the other hand community manager saying WAS intended to stop the "exploit"
They dont even know what the guy on the next cubicle is doing....., sigh...
Can someone first explain me WHY is now this consider an exploit??
hasnt been for years, and requires planning and a lot of time to level a very expensive gb in high levels, and a lot of time clicking and cycling.
Is a game strategy and mechanic,
im not referencing the fight ones in Saab tough
SInce there are app and browser players, the playing field is not EVEN
app users cannot do gvg, which will mean they have no chance at ranking higher, and im sure the only reason for this is to stop some players to go too high in rank, but still wont be giving a level playing field between platforms

You're not up to date. The delay is "not intended", they claim. And they're working on fixing it "immediately" (3 days now!).

Limit on quest aborts?
what is said limit? no number provided
And again, WHY?
How this is fair, after i spent 120,000 fps to level a CF to 100 and a lot of time setting up city, just to be able to do 15-20 minutes a day of recurrents in order to avoid having huge goods buildings in my city?
takes a couple years to setup a city for it, how is that an exploit?

As suggested several times already, a better fix than quest limits or delays would be to remove or adjust the exploitable quests.
Though, if you remove every exploitable feature in this game, most of the game would be gone.

They just fixed it on beta
Next update it should be fixed
They wont tell
Us players are going to have to figure it out
I would explain it to you but you seem to be obsessed with the negative definition of exploit
Not going to go back and forth about what an exploit is so figure it out for yourself

Which are these exploitable quests tough??
If someone wants to spend 8hr a day clicking and cycling to get the ubq and "remain sane", fair play to them.
If someone want to spend 8hr a day doing a lot of the fights and abort, gaining nothing extra but millions of "HOLLOW rank points", just to be ranked #1 in certain world: fair play to them
As i wrote earlier, is not even an even playing field between platforms for rank points, so why people obsess over rank is besides me, but again: their game.
However introducing a "fix", that destroy my complete city setup done over almost 3 years (and i dont even spend long cycling quests) i dont find correct or fair for anyone

What's the fix? An extra 4 seconds of unintended delay?

Limit the aborts is even worse, now is about punish players that can spend more time playing, and those that developed a strategy
Player that is online 10 minutes, cannot expect to compete with someone that is 4 hrs online.
Player online 4hr, cannot expect to compete with the one that does 8hrs.
Player online 4hr can compete with 8hr if develops a much better game strategy.
This is true for EVERY GAME that exists: more time = higher level; better strategy = higher level.
BE CAREFUL: the only thing that DIAMONDS do in this game, is save up TIME, accelerating the city development, everything is obtainable without diamonds in the long time run.
DO something that forces players to go offline by blocking their gameplay, whats the point of using diamonds if they still have to wait for next day now.
Have you consider a "time off" as better option?
Like after 1 hr of cycling quests have a 5min block?
this sounds even healthy for those doing endless hours: go blink your eyes a few minutes and stretch the fingers before starting over,
