This is not the same thing. The game went through inflation, which the long term players benefited from. You know the players with billions of on hand cash and 20+ million valor. Those players still gained from that while the newer players had to grind. These players also got very overpowered boost and LTBs that us newer players dont have. The building upgrade times and cost were also inflated. Level 3 air field was like 4 or so hours and now its almost 20,
Crime City gave away a +1 building upgrade boost to all players who were willing to spend 5k energy to finish a 5/5 goal, so they can catch up. There is no excuse to not have it if you had the means to get it. It was also a 4 day event. With the way the game is now, all players who play the game daily should at least the ability to upgrade 2 buildings at once.
I say they bring back the 28 day log on bonus and give away a +1 or 2 building upgrade as the wrapper for the 28th day log on and make sure all accounts start that cycle. That way we still have to earn it and no one would have a excuse for not getting it.
