So I'm a little frustrated with the changes to the prestige faction energy events.
We've built a faction going from top 2000 to top 500 over a length of time and some considerable effort. Traveling this distance in rank has not rewarded us with much of any energy regeneration.
Prior to the latest changes we were close enough to 15/15 to (with a little gold use) finish the event.
With the latest series of changes by GREE we no longer get to 15/15. We barely managed 14/15 this last time, despite probably our best rate of participation of yet.
I understand that making this game costs money and people need to get paid. In this instance its taken us from a place where we might want to spend gold to a place where its not worthwhile. It would require too much money, getting 2 blocks of concrete on 14/15 or a hat on 13/15 doesn't motivate anyone to pull their wallet out.
End result here will be we will quit doing prestige despite being darn near a full faction with good participation rates, switch to normal only and collect refill packs for an eventual run at prestige without gold use, maybe we'll just ignore the event entirely. Theres too many events going on right now anyway.
Its hard enough to get people to play this event due to how repetitive and boring it is, with these latest series of changes all of our efforts towards more participation for our faction makes us look foolish as not theres no chance at a finish.
To see some gold use out of factions like us for energy events GREE needs to make energy regeneration (permanent not this temporary stuff) accessible during WD or FL with reasonable gold expenditure. Its not realistic (or perhaps even possible) that a top 500 faction will suddenly purchase vault after vault of gold to get to top 25 to get the +1 regeneration.
Want us to buy gold? Make it reasonable goal like the recent boosts in building output and it may happen. Taking the current route won't work.
