This is just more flat out lies. It has never run 4 full events in one year. You can even check the wiki to confirm. The most DR events in one year was 4, but it was 2 full and 2 dig (no arena no sewers) in 2016. Duskruin dig was easily the most condensed down version of simucoin gambling mechanics as possible -> buy shovel get items repeat. The stores were open but BS generation was light because it was literally a reskin of EG digging but putting reduced effective simucoin items in it. It wasn't the worst event, but it certainly didnt require any real thought to it either. People get mad because they gate everything behind paywalls and then start charging more or providing less while still asking for the same amount of money. The flip flopping between saying "we dont care about balance as long as we make money" and "well, we have to dial it back because balance" is pure bullshit too. It's the double standard that they keep getting away with, just like the people who worship Wyrom as the PM who can make changes but... don't get mad at him for the changes because he doesn't actually have power?
Seriously, Schrödinger's Wyrom is the most insane fucking mental gymnastic's I've ever seen people perform. He's posted numerous times and included in several public emails about what he dictates and what he can do. The sad part is even HE changes his tune when it suits him best.
stick to your promises and leave that system in place. Generate NEW material, or fuck, maybe just deliver on the material already promised (where the fuck is the documentation on Goesintight, the hentai arkati, that was promised?) and generate NEW material instead of nerfing shit and monetizing existing systems. People will happily pay big money when you ADD stuff to the game, not take it away and charge for what people were getting reasonably before hand. Wheres the bank heist in DR?
