Add one more to the list of people that think this was a stupid idea.
A Friday to Sunday war would be ideal, but Greed(I mean Gree) would never do that to make there paying customers happy. I will have a hard time buying gold again. People are right that the top 3 teams will have nothing to worry about with 6 hours more of battle. Its the teams battling for top 100,75,50,25 that will have to buy more gold or use what ever gold they have left. This is nothing more then a money grab.
Its the worst idea GREE ever had!!!! U just want our money not giving opportunities to the weaker syns
So, no pony?Quote:

Thanks for the great response to maybe two people asking for an extension now my team probably won't get top 250! A simple gold compensation would have done... We are probably going to have less time for events now as well.
Add me to the list of unhappy customers!
Over/Under on 100% chance the people requesting extensions are Top-500 or above.
I'd say 100%.
Also, don't relax the tiers. Come on now, people in top 10/25/50/75 worked hard for their spot and clearly don't want more players walking around with their prizes. Top 10/25 especially, and I say this being relatively close to (but not in) the top 25.
I feel especially sorry for my friends fighting for top 150/250. Those spots don't settle till the very end and some people are inevitably going to lose the spot they paid for. And lets be real, no one these positions for free anymore anyways.
Deactivate the health refill button.
That's really the only fair thing you can do this late into the war if you can't change the ending time. The players who would have spent gold would do so anyways before the normal end time.
Time and money are fungible. Deactivating refills just gives a boost to those who happen to have free time during those 6 hours. Not only is that inherently unjust, it targets those least likely to be bigger spending customers as those worthy of benefits, and therefore is certainly not in Gree's interest.Quote:

Of course. And I won't say it's fair, just that I expect it to result in the lowest amount of complaints. I am beyond caring what would be a fair solution.Quote:

No zeemer, time and money aren't at all - especially to an event with a *prescheduled* set time for said time and money to be spent. I think you just wanted to use that word. It is a nice word, but there is no fungibility of time and money because everyone's free time is inherently unequal. Did you ever stop to think your argument works the other way around too, that an extension of the war is going to give a boost to player with free time (or no jobs) in the first place?
this is actually a very good idea....Quote:

YOU ADDED SIX HOURS TO THE EVENT IN THE LAST DAY. How's that for a major effing change?! You weren't worried about messing up everyone's schedules then, were you? I thought not. So don't give us that bull**** of "we don't wanna inconvenience others", the only inconvenience was your dumbass extension. And I also guarantee not one damn person asked for this. Because guess what? Not one person in this thread has been happy. And don't tell me all the people who wanted it just aren't on the forums....
Count me in with the dissatisfied customers gree.
If you shorten this event to 48 hours, I reckon you would actually generate more revenue than a 3 day event... Think about it! Happy customers tend to spend more!
If some players requested a change which requires other players to SPEND MORE OF THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY,
We deserve to know who these players are.
If you aren't going to make any changes to fix this problem (and you won't), at least give us the names of the players who requested this.
Gree doesn't take this seriously, thinks this is "just a game" when real CASH is involved.
Yeah, Apple isn't going to refund people's gold. But they sure as hell will take note when they see hundreds of Refund requests from ONE game in the SAME. day.
This is now bigger than the war. You might not have your game in the App Store anymore if this continues, and this is not a threat this is a warning plea from someone who still likes this game.

Reported this 2 weeks ago and still found him recently.
WOW!!! This is another reason that I have stopped buying gold. What's the point when this game allows this.Quote:

Spare a thought for the Asian/Australasian demographic Gree... we already have to put up with events starting at 2.00 in the morning and (in the case of these battles)... finishing at 3.00 in the morn...
You don't seem to give a toss about us on this side of the pond.
And, yes, 48 hour battles vs 72 hours is worth polling. In fact throw in a 24 hour polling option whilst ur at it and see what results you get.
HAHAHAHA. I'm guessing something like this http://youtu.be/sor9GzivGbk happened when GREE decided to extend the battles.
It seems someone in the budget department made several requests to extend the battle, as there's no one in our synd, and apparently no one here who wants an extension. Or was it maybe the owner who yelled so high that it was impossible not to extend the battle, many questions, and many assumptions, but this decision is one that will give more players a reason to quit the game. No matter the problems during the first day, they have evened out, our people got their points, and to look at the chart, most other syndicates are where they normally are. But lets have a vault each and every player, then we will happily play your games. Honestly a mental decision this is, and this goes for the people who decided this. And why not extend it 24 hours.... Well as stupid is as stupid does, and we the players have ourselves to blame as we still play the game.
Gree, can you also please lock the leader board?
No. When an unnecessary and easily removable element creates a problem I don't seek a solution that retains said element.Quote:

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
Hallelujah... GREE have listened and the event will end at the normal time! Thank you for listening to your paying players!
Only showing on iOS... Not Android which still has the later time!
thank you GREE. good decision
Android showing 8+ hours left and ios showing 2+ everyone else having this problem?
android is always late to the party
That's ridiculous. We realign strategy to take account of an extension, and then it's withdrawn, with two hours to go. It's a joke
Isn't it a fun, fun game?Quote:

Everyone please head on over to http://www.funzio.com/forum/showthre...l-12-00-PM-PST . We've change the event time back due to the overwhelming feedback from the community, and will be using this experience to try and improve how events are handled in the future.
