HadToRemakeThisThread.SorryGuys

Okay. So. Donations. They need to go. They just cause user discourse and a lot of people do not like them. This issue currently only applies to April, but "We are starting with lower numbers to introduce the feature but will gradually increase over later months while you guys get used to it." from the news post suggests donation tiers will be added to other events.It also suggests that whatever price is asked now, next time it will be more. This is a no-no.

This solution focuses only on April, but can be applied anywhere they might want to add a donation spot. The solution will work as follows:

1. Change the donated bar to a gathered bar
2. Make it so you pay a once per event fee to use the features unlocked in the bar (Example: 75 Eggs to age or deage your male).
3. There is no more user discourse since to get the currency to spend you have to gather.

Some people are fine with the personal goals, but want the sitewide goal to be gone. That is the same as buying the feature. Just stop calling it donations. Remove the sitewide goal (/change it to a gather goal), call it a purchase, and that's all.

So;
- Remove Aprils donation function as explained above
- Don't add donation functions to other events if that was indeed planned.
---> *Some noted that it may not be "donations" added to other events but still personal bars. No. Don't add personal bars either. This feature needs a 100% scrap.



Please don't come up in here if you're just going to call casual players lazy.~

Still no word from staff on this?

Apparently this "Our way or the highway!" is the new Lioden.

Even if we heard from them, this is not possible until next year (the April fix specifically, not the outcry against personal tiers for other months) due to people already donating; however, I get what you mean.

I have been busy with school and don’t have time to gather eggs...I just donated 100 eggs (eggs collected from LAST years April and I still don’t have their 3 unlocked) I don’t even have the 2nd their unlocked on this account lmao. I want to buy decor but I don’t have enough for the spring.

I started playing just a bit over a week ago now, and I was BUMMED.

Not only did I have to try and open up all the feature that other players had unlocked already, but now It came down to 'do I want these cool features or do I want some decor and items'. Gathering eggs came as a hit or miss and like others, I was really irritated when I 'dropped' one. A waste of an explore action.

I have a different upset rant about the whole Wenet business but that doesn't belong here :')

Support, though!

What makes it worse is that the tier is open over 340% so admins will probably make the donation bar a lot higher next year if they do keep this feature around.

I have to agree with making the 'donations' a 'purchase' instead. I mean, then those who gather fast can unlock the tiers earlier. They'd be rewarded for their efforts and would be able to start selling things quicker to other users. Does that mean those event only items would be god awful expensive at first? Yeah, probably. But you get people like me that would be willing to pay that fee because we just don't have time.

I could be considered a casual player for sure. I have a full time job that often requires overtime so when I get home I hardly have time to sit and /grind event items/. I know people have that kind've time after school if they want, but myself and others like me don't. I get home at 7pm and still have to cook. By the time dinner is up and my husband and I settle in for the night, it's around 9pm. I have to be awake at 6am to get ready for work so I don't have the time to spend 4+ hours grinding for event items.

I am fully aware we have a whole month to gather and enjoy the event, but if I only have two days (my weekend) to grind event currency I'm still unable to catch up with the rest of the site. On my weekend I spend several hours drawing for clients and so I still don't have the time to sit and grind out all this currency. I managed to make the goal this month but if we are to expect the individual goals to increase then there is no way I'll be seeing everything unlocked for me.

While I know I can buy GB and get event items, I wanted to bring up all these reasons for people that, at the end of the month when everything is unlocked, can't buy GB. That simply means people are going to be unable to get all the event items offered in the shops, even if they're buying them from other players.

What I would like to suggest as well, is upping the personal goals only slightly and then those individual goal unlock everything for the user so the user doesn't have to wait for the site. Just like what has already been mentioned. That way it actually gives people like myself time to get tiers unlocked AND to save up for shop items. If everything is upped too much, people will be able to unlock features but not buy what is in the shops.
