Sounds good, but your track record on fixing anything is poor at best. The composing idea is fine, but I would be more than willing to give it and any other new idea up in order to see several old bugs fixed. The lag is frequently brutal. Many MANY shard offers do not pay. The old system of FSP's for videos and offers was much better. You really beat us down in that regard. Upgrades are outdated and the price of FSP's needs to be amended. There are way too many Titans and the cool down system is bogus. No one cares that the same top guilds get all the Epics from Titan hunts since the Epic gear isn't worth the stam to go after it anymore. I love the game because of the guilds and the friends I have made there, not for the play itself. The play is boring and needs major adjustments. Why else do you think there are only half the players online at any one time as compared to a couple of years ago? Yes, I've rambled and strayed and haven't offered any solutions. That is because I'm bored, frustrated, and have little faith in you. There it is in a nut shell.
On a strictly personal level, I'd have to disagree with quite a lot of that...
1) From my experience, I'd say that about 95% of shard offers pay out and that, point 2 of the "Fallen Sword Rewards Terms and Conditions" states ... "
- Advertiser offers are provided on an "as-is" basis, no guarantee is made for the crediting of any offer, and no-party can be held responsible for any offer not credited, or crediting errors
It also goes on to state "If you do not get credited, or you have any issue with the offers, please use contact our dedicated support team!." - They try to help, but if the company who you've done the offer with say it was done fraudulently, or incorrectly or for whatever reason, then the shard payment won't follow. That's my understanding of how it works anyway. As for the old system of actual FSP's for rewards - that's been explained countless times - look for the threads.
2) Why does the price of FSP's need to be amended ? - Are you referring to the amount you get in response to a donation, or the amount they sell for in the marketplace ? - If the former, I think the amount given out is perfectly fine and if the latter, then that's not the cows responsibilty. All they can do (and DO do) is give us gold sinks to try to keep the price reasonable. If folk are willing to buy fsp's from other players for 180k each / 200k each / 220k each, then who's to blame ? A lot of folk just list their gold for the highest price to try to ensure a quick sale and then within mins, the price falls again. I've seen gold going for 210k / fsp and, 5 mins later, it's back down to 180k / fsp or lower.
(EDIT) - just been pointed out to me that perhaps you're meaning the FSP MARKETPLACE LISTINGS page ? - that should probably be removed IMO
3) Too many titans ? - Hmmm, I don't think so - the fact that there are plenty and the introduction of the cooldown is a great thing. It means more and more folk can hunt the titans and that the previously unassailable titan guilds have to let other people have a bite of the cherry when they are in cooldown. As to why cooldown is bogus, please explain ?? And they're not worth the stamina to go after them now ? - Last time I checked, stamina was FREE and most titan items still have a reasonable price
There's my thoughts on your post in a slightly larger nutshell
Homer : Marge, don't discourage the boy. Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals .. except the weasel.
Eddie Izzard : The National Rifle Association say that guns don't kill people, people do. But I think the gun helps, you know ? I think it helps. I think just standing there going "BANG" - that's not going to kill too many people, is it ?
I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but it seems that everything I eat lately turns to poo ...
