Fountain Grab Rate NERF + Other
 

Alright. So we all now how we needed 5 million grabs on the fountain for the new Presents and Ice Skating. We were doing really well. I think, in about a matter of 5 hours, we were 40% done which is really good in comparison to last year.

OK. For some reason, they DOUBLED the the amount in which we needed to get for the rewards. Even though that's still pretty unfair, I guess it's understandable since we were doing it so fast and the admins wanted to make it a 'challenge'.

However, what I found really really annoying was that THEY 'NERFED' THE GRAB RATE for some reason. So now, after I proceeded with a little experiment, if you grab 30 times really fast, it will only count as 10 on your total amounts of grabs. I don't see why they did this. It clearly says 'amounts of grabs : [NUMBER]' but it's not really the actual number since when you grab the fountain 30 times, it only counts as 10. So with this fact in mind, it will now take us 30 WHOLE MILLION TIMES of grabbing that fountain for something which we aren't even sure is going to be good OR disappointing like most surprises on era. I don't know if they did this to troll us, because they hate us or for the luls, but I think (alongside the majority of people grabbing like mad so we call ALL enjoy our rewards) that this is totally unfair and I ask for the grab rate to go back to how it was before the unnecessary 'nerf'. I don't think anyone would have a problem with the amount of grab times being doubled now but the rate of grabbing totally sucks now and I'm sure a lot of exited 'grabbers' will be forced to stop due to the annoying nature of it.

Thanks :)

Agreed. This totally sucks now. I'm fine with the 10 million grabs, but not with the grab nerf. First we got 10 grabs a second if you tapped really fast, and now it's only 2. Wow.
They'd better give us some cool presents, not like last year's junk.

This is so ridiculous, furiously tapping continuously for some pixels.
Would like there to be something more challenging, a quest for example.

I feel like now a days we only use the forums to cry.

A few hours ago, players were really excited for the gifts, since we already had 40% of the grabs, they were encouraging eachothers. But now these grabbers all stopped grabbing, because it's just a waste of time since we need to grab 10 times as much as before the nerf (5million more grabs + grab rate slowed down 5 times -> means 10 times more grabs).

The amount was always 10 million. There was a typo, which is why it said 5 million before. As proof you can see that the percentage did not change. Sorry for the confusion.

They did it so other people could get in grabs when they wake up. It is not like YOU need to do all the grabs alone, there are other players who would like to get items and to do so need to grab the fountain. Don't like it? Don't grab.

It's really ****ed up that people actually participate.

Last years presents were magical as well as the ice dagger they were the coolest thing

Lol. Exactly what I was thinking.

I hope it's something cool and worth furiously slapping my iPad for.. Half price gralat packs for Christmas maybe? :3

Its funny cause they said they werent doing fountain grabs this year. Hypocrites.

Grabbing a fountain for 5 million grabs? Might as well grab till 2k and then stop :3 I don't want to waste my time on this grabbing crap.

I think its slower when you grab it because when you double grab it makes you pull the fountain instead of grabbing it so it slows you down a bit.
