Then use that meaningless score area when visiting to display the info. Most assuredly "not a game changer". Many don't care about score at all, and in your reasoning, if you've visited to provide help, surely you won't adjust the help based on score?
LOL are you for REAL? Please think about your suggestion before even mentioning it.
This opens up another can of worms.
I'd like to see Inno comment on this post. Removing displayed score would mean there is no need for leaderboards. So that idea messes with other parts of the game. Scores/leaderboards is the last thing they would remove as it affects the whole game. The idea of it is to make people work harder to get to the top. Every game has a leaderboard. Whether you are competitive or not the leader board is far more important than 'relationship' status.
Leaderboards are meant to drive people and show progression. They are not just there to get to number 1 so you can shout 'Im number 1!!! I'm better than you!!!!' in a childish voice.
If there was no 'relationship' status text, you'd click the shield button by mistake while on a NON fellows city. Big WOOP. < not killed ya. Click the home button. No negative impact to game. Just you and everyone else clicking a wrong button from time to time.
Your score may not influence or affect you. But your score affects every person.
Relationships status doesn't affect you or others. It just makes you click the home button instead of the shield button.
Here.
People see your score and want to better you, in FS or not. < beneficial.
People don't see your score at all. < no challenge.
You see fellow/discovered. < helps you decide whether to click the shield or home button.
You don't see fellow/discovered. < Makes you click the wrong button!! Big woop!!
Everyone helps the same way (click, click and click), it's not just you and we all click the wrong button sometimes regardless of the text fellow/discovered. If your don't then your obviously perfect.
You see the difference. It's logical score > relationship.
AND just to point out, I do not care about leaderboards. They are pointless in my eyes. But there is a need for them. So they will never go. Regardless of peoples opinions.
IF you want to carry this on PLEASE REPLY to private messages. I is not racist I is technical, logical and practical.
