You wonder how they know about it if they did not read about it. Now tell me, if you are going to place something that is actually not meant for you isn't it wise to pay extra attention and gather info about it?
Your response makes no sense. GB's are available to all whatever era you are in and once past the IA roadblock for donating becomes more realistic to get them quickly. So I'm not sure what the 'something that is actually not meant for you' is all about. You get GB's by collecting bp's not by the era your in. Maybe it has been a while since you played and have forgotten.
You are absolutely right. Just cause those players never read announcements, they should now consider to do so. They can change and improve their own game. That's positive progress and improvement.
Who said players never read announcements? I'm fairly certain the majority of players don't read all announcements and will decide based on the relevance to them. Hence a non end of tree player maybe not looking at a new era announcement. GB's are for all though and quite often when first launched can entice spending so in my opinion any changes that are known in advance should be specifically highlighted for all at the very least. As stated before the better solution would be not to release it until ready. I appreciate you have a differing opinion. The world would be dull if we all thought the same.
It is a warning to players though that Innogames are not above using these tactics to entice spending in full knowledge that many wouldn't have if they had been aware. So players do your due diligence as Agent suggest because Inno haven't your interests at heart and seem happy to accept a reputation for profiteering over these incidents. Lets face it not the first time something like this has happened but might be the first time for some to have experienced it depending how long they have played.
