This is certainly not about fairness, it is about increasing gold sales. 

Of course it's about increasing gold sales. Something has to pay for those servers and those salaries. And why would it be fair for everybody? Some people contribute with real money while others want to play for free. GGS is a business and at the end of the day it needs real money to exist.

Things seem pretty simple to me: if I don't like an event or the rewards, I don't participate. Knowing that the devs have automated the reward system and seeing that it's buggy and it doesn't work well, I am being choosy with the events I participate in. So what if a Gold payer takes 1st place in a challenge? Good for them. They're choosing to buy it and I'm choosing to play a rather cool game for free. 

The mods are doing a good job staying calm.

This is exactly my point.  And given the circumstances, GGS will not gain in the sales of gold because those players that do not have the resources will not play the events and it will make it a lot easier for the players that do use gold because they will not have to use as much gold with less players playing the events.

THANK YOU to GGS for the great rewards on this HWE. Also for keeping the amount of points needed reasonable.

Although the ranking rewards featuring WWCC points need some tweaking -- LOL!

we need not yr bloody stupid extra construction slot. take it again. even we need gud rewards in CCs and HWEs than earlier and u giving more worst.
no spcl event is there in this game now. if anyone knows any spcl event then let me know.
BIG FARM is totally waste for non gold buyers as they cant get any gold from game and have to buy. and for gold buyers its again waste as they buy gold from their hard earning money and waste on this silly game if u need not yr hard earning money then dont waste it here atleast donate it to poor people so that they can live their livelihood.
no words here to say on this matter now

Farm points when no WWC active.  
To fix it, they could just write a line of code that will add this reward only if the HWE ending time is during WWC?  (If HWE end is before WWC end  AND  HWE end is after WWC start then Add reward for rank 6-50 Farm Points x1000)

HWE this time around seems super broken to me... I usually get the meter up to around 7 pts/sec no trouble at all, but this time I cannot even get past 1 point/sec.

I guess this is gonna be another event I'll be ignoring from here on in.

[3860754] CrazyBigfarm55 (US1) [US1] :: April 12, 2018, 3:34 p.m.

This isn't about the HWE, it's about the CC but it concerns the same problems so I'll ask my question here.

The countdown icon is on our farms and it's 1 day early if I may add. We have not gotten any word yet if the programmers have had a chance to fix the rewards in this CC. I cannot justify spending our members hard earned money on a booster to win a bunch of wet pig feed. Can you please let us know if any changes have been made to the Hardworker rewards for this CC.

Thank you

It's past office hour in Germany, there is no one there to answer your question

To implement the changes they should have done a game update, but they didn't, so its likely these so called rewards are the same as last time, or slightly different as they claim they are randomly generated by their automated system

In other words if not wet pig feed it could be cow sillage  ...

They did a maintenance yesterday morning; maybe they made changes. Not holding my breath, but...maybe.

Thank you @PCA (GB1) for pointing out the after hours fact and you are right there has been no update or hot fix even and that's why I asked.

[3860803] holidayrox (US1) [US1] :: April 12, 2018, 4:37 p.m.

As @MRG1 (US1) stated above, there was maintenance done yesterday (or might have been the day before)

Three servers (including US1) had to be restarted yesterday due to memory issues, however, this was not an update or hotfix

Thank you @RowdyRac

I really hate to have to bring this up again but WTH AGAIN with the CC rewards?  The HWE rewards were changed up a bit (still needs work, i mean the wwc was not happening and we were getting rewards for it, plus fish feed isn't a reward).  Please do something about the rewards, there is no reason to play if this is how its going to stay. 

[3861354] sue1 (AU1) [AU1] :: April 13, 2018, 11:24 a.m.

Are those WWC rewards accumulating anywhere?  There are certainly not in our inventory.

nothing was "changed up" @rie22 (US1)

The HWE that just ended was the old version of crop HWE for single players, no changes were made there and rewards still the same as they had always been

The other HWE instead, the coop version of HWE, and CC had their hard worker rewards downgraded to GGS lowest horrible standards and bad taste, even tho GGS is trying to tell us it was not intentional

As with most other changes, GGS won't do anything, they won't react to our protests, they will just wait  that our rage abates, then they will operate their next cull

Why have the gifts/awards on the HWE/CC's become so cheap?  It's almost not worth playing them anymore, with all the work you are expected to do, and the rewards being so little or cheap.
