I want to send a BIG THANK YOU to NEXON for this wonderful kick in the groin, but what why haven’t I learned after 3 years of playing this game?
Develop a strategy to exploit a feature of the game, spend your resources to fully build it out, start reaping the rewards, have NEXON pull the carpet out from under you by nerfing the feature away
This is not a nerf. Nerfs fix something that was broken. Expeditions were not broken. This was a blatant act of taking away a capability and replacing it with a feature that requires gambling with crowns (spend 99 crowns to get museum resources) so NEXON makes more money. Has anyone else noticed that the expeditions DO NOT offer museum resources and the only way to get them appears to be to buy them?
My suggestion to NEXON for their next money grab is to add a crown cost in addition to the normal resource build cost. Maybe, they could add a new building, the “Seedy Lounge” where you can purchase “Favor Chests” that contain the required “Permits” to build specific buildings. They could replace Factories or maybe the Airstrip with these. Next, the could start requiring crowns to train troops ...
Think of how much more enjoyable the game could have been if NEXON had applied the resources it did to develop this new capability towards catching and eliminating the cheaters who are ruining this game.
