I am fuming

The two previous baby boom events were from 14:00 CEST to 20:00 CEST and 16:00 CEST to 22:00 CEST respectively.

You have international players.

I live in Melbourne, Australia, in the AEST timezone. For me, those times were midnight to 6am, and 2am to 8am. The latter just creeps into reasonable waking hours. Waking hours for a person who has work or school to attend and more crucial things to do between 6am and 8am than breeding fake chickens. Not such reasonable waking hours for a weekend.

Precisely how do you expect me to be able to participate? What is the value of having such disgustingly short event times that people across the globe literally cannot take part? Why are we less deserving of inclusion than others? Who thought it would be ok to just exclude players who happen to not live where you do?

I understand that people live in different time zones and it won't suit everyone. I'm used to it. The past 8 years I have known, experienced, and accepted that my access isn't going to be as ideal as other people's. At least I haven't been completely excluded. But this time I was - twice. If I missed out on one - fine. But both?!

I have a wild solution for you though. If you make it 24 hours, everyone has access. Everyone can participate. Everyone can enjoy. Everyone can be included. Why was it so important that these events were so short? Why was that so crucial?

Yet again you have proven a total lack of consideration for your players. If you want me to pay for your products, is this really how you think you're going to get me on side? Forget about it. You're not, never have, and never will, ever get a cent of my money.

I enjoy this game, despite your daily attempts to make me loathe it. The game is still fun, regardless of the totally ignorant and misguided views of whoever makes these ludicrous decisions. But this isn't a service worth paying for.

 

I agree that this is unacceptable, and completely baffling, what could you possibly gain by this? This is the first time since I started playing in 2012 that there is a breeding event without a full weekend of BBD, I don't get it.

Is this your answer to us complaining about too many events? If so I suggest you read the feedback a little closer

 

I already said elsewhere, what is the downside for BP to have a BB event running alongside the whole of a breeding event? For farmers who come from all over the globe, this would be much more beneficial. Maybe BP would sell a bit more PF. Cos from what I can see, you lose the Australian market straight away!

 

Indeed...and we're hardly a small country...

 

Greetings lovely farmers,

Thank you for all the feedback. Closing thread.​
