Increased productivity

So... i clicked the button to work today. And while I had sort of seen it previously, I actually noticed what it sai😛

"EXTENDED time for special missions and bonuses! Until Day 1414 you can get 30% more productivity when working"

So... in a game with MASSIVE overproduction, where the admins are firing up a bot to buy stuff and create currency because the market is not working... their brilliant idea is EVEN MORE OVERPRODUCTION. And obviously the slight increase demand from the missions isnt really helping to counter this.

No wonder prices are plunging. This is getting more and more tiring.

Really nothing new in that. It is now quite clear (if is hasn't been for months now) that the ultimate goal of developers is:

1) to axe the economic simulation part and to turn it a Facebook-farm-like "build your buildings and get the toys" system, where market, competition, or generally any inter-player economic relations are made useless. Feed your tamagochi.

2) to make Gold above the the rewards coming with the two regular medals (and thus everything Gold can buy) only available by real life cash purchase.

Now as they are going forward to accomplish their agenda it is actually fun for us (ppl interested in the eco-stuff) as it results in an ever-changing system you must understand adjust to on a monthly/weekly base, but finally and ultimately it will kill the game for us, and most of us will most probably leave once the click-your-buildings-get-your-goodies-forget-about-the-rest model will be fully implemented.

plato loves making ingame clicks useless other than battles.

the econ module is already killed. i was just making an observation really because i hadnt realized this latest thing had happened. when i first started the game, owning and operating companies was actually exciting and important, playing in the MM was usefull, there were no MM/donation limits when it came to gold, orgs had multiple uses, trade between countries was meaninful. now it has all gone to shit. but with their latest idea, even WAM is disrupted, because i dont fully produce all my RMs, and i need to sell goods to buy RMs. with prices collapsing, i have to dig in my reserves.

They murdered it when they took away job levels.
All that time to become a guru and the admins kill it.
