This goes against 'traditional' gaming wisdom, of course, but Elvenar is now a primarily mobile game (by design, not by accident), and the rules are different in the world of mobile gaming. A large volume of small, short-term revenues from undemanding, uncritical 'revolving-door' players almost always earns more
in total than a handful of larger/longer-term revenues from more demanding, more savvy long-term players, where mobile gaming is concerned. Shiny graphics earn money. Complex strategies do not. That's just mobile gaming, in a nutshell. It's a great shame that it's become so much more profitable, by and large, than any other kind of gaming, these days.
I'd take a bet that InnoGames' management, who are responsible for this change (not the developers, even though they tend to get the blame) are expecting you either to leave, or to adapt. I wish I could say anything else, once again, except 'very, very sad - but true'...
