@Alexander as a vet of the game in a clan full of other vets I can confirm you are wrong with your assumption. A good developer will notify their players and run planned downtime. Other games do it regularly and don't have anywhere near as much as yours! They also don't cost as much as yours, another sad irony! I've never seem any of your compensation as I left the forums, the majority of other players not in the forum won't see these 'benefits' either.
I have the facility to spend money and am definitely not a free to play player, another wrong assumption. I have and continue to spend money on the game, mainly for my sons sake who plays my account when I invetably get bored of its and you the developers antics.
Your reply shows ignorance and disdain rather than acknowledgement of a veteran players concern, trying to condone your actions is pretty poor.
Yes people are bored and need distractions during a national pandemic, rather than trying to profit from that financially why don't you try to profit by making the game more enjoyable and introducing new items to disrupt the top down money spenders mentality?
Myself and the majority of my clan could buy our way to the top, but choose not to because of the aforementioned reasons!
Having spoken to your top spender Mr Money Bags himself Clevername, I can confidently say I earn similar if not more money, however unlike him I'm not prepared to spend that amount in your game!
