This game is in beta, and is free to play. I have a hard time believing that you spent real money to set up your farms, and if you did, well, tough ****. There is a disclaimer when you buy things that clearly states the possibility that you will lose your purchase.

None of that nullifies the fact that I am still a paying customer and I believe certain courtesies are entailed in that, like a few days warning before I get nuked. I'm sorry if you believe that's too much to ask.

Obviously I'm not the only one who believes that's too much to ask, but I accept your apology nonetheless.

Obviously I'm not the only one who believes that's not too much to ask. If the principle of the counter-argument is simply a belief that customers should have no expectation than that is much different from most of the "you deserved it because..." posts.

The principle of my counter-argument is a belief that people understand what the beta phase of a game's development is. When a customer is establishing their expectations, they should factor that into their decision making process. I'm not saying that you shouldn't cry about a change that you don't like (tears fuel this game's development), but rather that you shouldn't cry about the loss of real money purchases. If you purchased something, you did so knowing that changes occur in the beta phase of a game's development, and those changes could affect any investments (time or money) that you've made in the game world.

Good grief, you miss the point entirely in a frantic effort call people out as whiners when the point of the argument is related to NOTIFICATION of impending changes. If you can't critically think, don't respond.

Yes, that's exactly what we need, another reason to delay updates.

Bingo - is it really that hard to share more with us? One more line on the "We are changing stalls" post that included "Farm fix coming".

From my perspective the DEV's intent was to punish the 1x1 users. They want tears....
Awwww...Care Bears are so cute!!!!
