To the developers

Whilst we appreciate the need to continually move events forward in line with the average growth on accounts, it seems, yet again, that the calculations used for the EB may have been over the top. When our top and oldest accounts have struggled to actually finish this quest to 100 kills, there is very little hope for the rest of the guild who do not have the benefit of the health regeneration on our oldest accounts.

Based on your new format of EB, the changes and percentage increased compared to old format EB was close to 1500% increase. How does that make any sense for such a huge jump in difficulty for EB from the new and old. We can understand there is a need to increase, however the main issue that went wrong was how much it was increased, 1500% is just totally ridiculous, unfair and unreasonable at all, it totally does not make any common and reasonable sense. On top of that, the rewards given for the increase are not even close to comparable too, the rewards really lack the attractiveness for players to do the event. So please readjust the EB to make it reasonable for all the KA players and also please put in some focus on the rewards to match up the level of difficult better.

Our choice therefore seems to be.. Spend gems to complete or simply not bother wasting the time involved in the quest.

Given the new strategy during war that you are pursuing, and the requirement for 1500 plus items of headwear, footwear and artifacts.. Would it not make more sense to offer some of these items, even low stats ones during the event to make it more appealing to users, in which case they may consider using gems, instead of one item of not great strength at the end of heroic quest.

After last months example of a 'collect 21 items' quest, it is unlikely many people will even attempt the master slayer quest this cycle.. Again, another source of lost gems.

Also.. As you will notice the figures on the LB for the normal box quest are still exceedingly low.. Again.. Last cycle, so many of us spent far too many gems, to not even be able to finish the quest.. We are still individually awaiting a response from yourselves on this.. Our tickets were closed after they were passed to specialists for replies, which have to date been not forthcoming.

We welcome your attempts to keep our attention in the game. Perhaps it is time to reevaluate the players and input you receive from your beta testers.. Possibly they are not the correct demographic of players to give you accurate feedback.

Hoping these comments are helpful and explain our concern..
