    The pieces I've talked about (Dig, full event, and new event) are just what you guys have known of each event. Each will include much more than just that. Just two months ago, the Dig was demanded in December. We are letting you know that it is still coming. The Dig will not be the only thing available in February's run.

    I think we have a proven track record with Duskruin by now that we've added much more content at each one. Those of you new to Duskruin, it might be overwhelming, but those of you who are veterans will have exciting things to look forward to.

To this aim, you may either pay the fine of 50000000 silvers plus any other outstanding debts you may owe, or serve a total of 120 minutes of incarceration. You may ANSWER me either FINE or INCARCERATION as your choice. But I digress. Choose quickly, now, lest I hold you in contempt of court for wasting my time."

    It would be a bonus if these events weren't turned into the only way to acquire new high end items.

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?
    You are aware that the people Wyrom answers to and takes orders from are complete idiots right? Not that that's anything new, but people seem to forget that Wyrom isn't Gemstone. That would be Shartley and Shartfront. Stillshart. Shartshart.

    Wyrom takes orders from David Shartley and the faceless ass plungers at Shartshart. My guess would be "Wyrom, figure out how to XYZ NOWWWWWWW!!!!!" and things like Duskruin are the end result.

    I thought part of the Stillfront purchase was phasing out David Whatley? Was this just a rumor that my decrepit brain clutched tightly to in order to preserve itself?

    Talk about unstable, mood-swinging nutters.

    I thought it was the opposite in that Stillfront was only interested in Simu for the mobile market and didn't really give a fuck about GS as long as it's bringing in money.

    Except, he was creating these events before Stillfront was in the picture. He got the PM job because he developed a way to make more money with Duskruin and the pay2win mechanic. Whately might have said "hey, we need to make more money, anyone got ideas?" and wyrom said "well actually I do..." and thus duskruin in its form was created where people paid money to get points to buy weapons and items. He literally just took the most terrible form of microtransactions and applied it to the game wholesale. THey were so blinded by the money being made that they ignored balance issues. Now they are trying to walk it back after two+ years of access.

    According to the press releases, Still front now has a majority share of the company "Simutronics". I'm sure Whatley has a well paying do nothing job where he can do pet projects as wanted while the day to day operations is left to the mysterious "in house staff". With how little information we are given we can only conjecture. The biggest problem is that Wyrom likes to tell different stories that defend his position as he sees fit, almost always in direct contridiction with the last story/excuse he used for the last major problem. He's the Baghdad bob of gemstone when it comes to PR and is almost assuredly more directly responsible for the current event structure than people tend to give him credit for. He may not have made the decision on how often (every other month simucoin events) but he did create the skeleton of how the events would operate.

    Unfounded assumptions and basic phallacy. Get it? Because you are also a dick.
