Is not about being a mess, @malph, however, these things take time. Would you rather have the developers rush through everything, and then truly create a mess? I am happy it is taking its time, because it means they are working on it, and they are not happy as it is right now, based on our feedback. But still, coding takes time, alpha testing (when it still did not leave the dev's PCs), and then to arrive to our servers, usually starting by beta.
We live in a society of rushing, instant delivery, urgent whatever, etc... But some aspects like surgery, designing a building (real-life), coding a game, creating art, etc, can't be rushed
Please, be a little patient, wait is always for a greater good.
Actually @anonglitch if they had taken their time on the test server, they wouldn't have created said mess on live server.

Yep. the diamond offers are coming thick and fast. No coincidence.Premium expansion sale on offer today.
It's not a panic. They're analysing the effect of the new tournaments on diamond sales. This is what this testing phase is really probably all about.there must be panic at INNO
Every other day there's offers of some kind of diamond deal and now they want you to buy diamonds for cheaper expansions
we never got offered so many deals like this before one after another
It shows that not many people are buying diamonds at the moment ..and hopefully the shareholder will notice and wonder whats going on

I would rather have the developers take their time on beta, take thoroughly into consideration the feedback from BETA players which is more or less what is repeated over and over again here (revision of the formula itself).Would you rather have the developers rush through everything, and then truly create a mess?

Although we live in a society of programmed brain and marketing manipulation, I wanted to believe that we could still decide for ourselves when it comes to our free time and gameplay... But maybe it is just an utopia...We live in a society of rushing, instant delivery, urgent whatever, etc...

I think you're a bit too optimistic about that. Even if there is a good amount of ppl here in the forums that won't buy any premium expansions / diamonds anymore (including myself), most ppl out there don't even have a clue how the formula works, so they don't see any issue with buying these.
Even ppl who know about that new formula will buy new expansions as they simply don't care. Most prominent example in this thread could be @valle (no offense - i'm good with the fact that you like / adapt to those changes). So the influence of the new system should be too small to make a big difference in the big picture - at least for now.
It could make a difference if there are some so called "whales" within the quitters. Maybe it could also make a difference in the long term, as soon as details about that new system are also known by casual players, but at that time the lost income wouldn't be automaticly connected to that change.
It's just a normal pattern of diamond sales in an event
Each (long) event we have a residence/workshop sale and a premium expansion sale.
The other diamond sales of event currency for free when you buy diamonds and others are also regular sales.
Already are people on the "live servers" questioning if they should buy today's sale, because they heared trough the grapevines that this is detrimental to your tournament play.
We only do not know yet how big this group of people is, but since the questions do pop up without it even being on live ain't a good sign
