Please make the oil boom permanent

The event this week for the oil boom has been amazing, and in my opinion much more in line with what the oil production should be in order to reduce a little bit of tedium. It really needs to be brought in line with gold and food given so many more researches are requiring it as the ages progress.

Personally I find the oil grind to be the worst gameplay in the game as unless you are saving for a week to a month depending on losses, the only efficient way to gather enough for all the upgrades is via moto-raiders which isn't particularly fun and becomes a job.
This weekend so many more bases are viable for attack given that the wells have been producing more, the other side effect is that anyone saving doesn't stick out like a beacon to every single raider out there.

While we are at the topic of resource production, caravans and farms need to be buffed in my opinion. The event where farms and caravans were producing double than normal should be the standard. It speaks volumes when a decent amount of people don't bother upgrading their caravans and farms past gunpowder.

At first I thought it was a great event too, but I've lost more oil in one night than I did with the night witches.
41k in 7 attacks!!

Ouch.

I think its a real issue that you are able to be raided like that.

Getting attacked 7 times in 1 night and losing that much oil is devastating. BGH needs to find a reasonable way to prevent this.

For instance something like if oil refinery is takes 50% damage at least 2 separate times in an 8 hour period an 8 hour peace treaty is given.

I've not lost much oil from being in Gold/Kingdom league during this event. If the oil boost became permanent it would encourage players to move to the higher leagues to avoid losing so much oil, which I think would be a very good thing. Rather than just having hard bases to hit there would be a more even split of levels but everyone would still get a PT so that's a bonus.

Agree, this should be the normal rate of oil production.And to increase the total amount of resource production in the game, it should be a requirement to have fully upgraded at least two farms/caravans/wells to advance to the next age. Or maybe you get a discount on the cost of advancing for each fully upgraded farm/caravan/well.

They should make it permanent, but they won't. Many asked that the training time reduction they had several months ago be made permanent, so the game isn't as boring as watching paint dry. The response here: "All we can do is pass on player wishes about events to developers". No further feedback. This oil request, and the desire for a permanent boost in gold/food production will meet the same fate. Nexon has destroyed the game, and nobody here with the decision making power to fix it will offer communication. We need to speak directly to people who can do more than "pass along player wishes".

The oil output is definetely hugely unbalanced. Either through oil wells or through raiding or world wars. It is a very huge grind that can take the fun out of the game...

ReekyBullet , I have wells that are level 6 and coupled with this event has made me very attractive! :D
I was only on 130k oil but didn't check in for over 36hrs. My son usually plays my account on the weekends but this weekend he was on a date!
