As for your other feedback:
1: This is unlikely to happen. We have been working to bring back free play, and will likely continue to try to do so. We have made several improvements to different attack paths that were abused before, and will continue to make improvements.
2: This is also unlikely to happen. We have a policy now of only allowing users to get Town Points when a purchase is involved to some extent.
3: We do have a plan for opt in ads, whether they give TP or MP rewards is uncertain right now. I would imagine MP, but that system is not complete, so can't say for sure.
4: This won't happen as somethings we designed with the intention that they would would be TP only purchases.
5: We have seen some abuse, but not too much. It is better for the game overall, even if there are some negatives to it. We have seen a noticeable jump up in many statistics that we track since this change.
6: The privacy concern is the biggest issue here. I don't really see the benefit for this. Your argument is to ensure reports are being handled. You either trust us or you don't. If you don't reporting is pointless, if you do then reports are being handled.
I imagine you may not agree with everything I said, but we appreciate your feedback either way! If you have any counterpoints, or further feedback I would love to hear them.
I’ve seen you suggest this multiple times for a lot of different problems, and no matter how many times you suggest it, it still isn’t helpful.kyuss420 wrote:just buy everything in the shop for merit points.....

You said that it took you eighteen months to buy everting that is purchasable in the shop with merit coins. After that, the cauldron began to give you nothing but scrolls and things that could only be bought with TP. And that’s great. You solved the long-term problem of getting premium items from the shop without paying for them.
What you haven’t solved, for everyone you suggest this to, is the immediate problem. The problem of someone needing/wanting a specific premium item from the shop at short notice while on a tight budget. The problem of if you want to have taunts so that you can be on the same playing field as everyone else, or you’ve fallen in love with a skin at the shop that you don’t have the TP for and don’t want to be at the mercy of the RNG, what do you do for a year and a fucking half while waiting to get enough merit points to buy everything!?
You are making a lot of assumptions about me that really have nothing to do with my point. I’m not going to address them, except to say that you are clearly looking down on me because you think I have no patience, and it shows.kyuss420 wrote:snip

Why would you need to see the results for the specific report that you filed? Go to the trial system, load up one of the reports it asks you to vote on, and click one of the "Other Reports" links. This gets you a permanent link to that other report (and thus to every other report on that person as well). Save the URL and check back later - you can see exactly what judgment was made on the report.
That only lets you view other people's reports, not your own, but that shouldn't matter.
(I just popped into Trial and tried this myself, and the first report I see has what appears to be a rather egregious multi-accounting harasser with a mountain of reports "closed without judgment". This gives me little faith that his most recent report will be guiltied either... so I've saved the link, and I guess I'll raise a stink about it later if it isn't guiltied.)

Anyway. Whether or not I personally have patience is irrelevant here. My point is that, when people have problems with TP or premium items, you should not be saying “oh just buy everything from the shop with MP” and peddling it like it’s this easy solution. It’s not easy, and it doesn’t even begin to solve their specific problem until a year and a half later at best. Your suggestion is not the panacea that you say it is. Don’t act like you’re better than me because I notice that.

Im not sure how I figured out the system tho, I just played casually, with my casual friends over the last year, and most of them have every skin/pet/house or are not very off of it, and the currency prize was a recent addition, like in the past month or 2 recent. The cauldron no longer gives taunts or scrolls.
Idk what you are spending your merits on if you have played since 2015 and stilll havent bought out the shop
So you want me to suggest they have prize day in the cauldron twice a week instead of once a week? To speed up the process from 18 months to 9 months? Maybe others could of suggested instead of just suggesting they give freebies? This is what we want, this is what we have, maybe meet us halfway devs, if we meet you halfway???

...for those who really want exclusive skins, maybe there could be an expensive potion you can buy with merit points that gets added to the cauldron to increase your chances of getting something premium.
