In the last while there have been some big changes to the game in how we are allowed to interact with the game's profitable content, which is essentially related to farming, bug catching, and looting. More recently there have been some larger changes to the system which have caused me to question the reasoning of staff in making said changes. Initially these were admittedly minor details... but here's the list of what I've seen relating directly reducing the value of objects possessed by players and hindering the ability to profit from in-game activity.

• - Rate of gralat spawn in farming has been periodically reduced (admittedly hasn't happened for some time)
• - Bomb/Arrow interactions were removed (exploding arrow effect)
• - Looting now has a limitation on the amount of items you can hold at one time and a lower value per item on sale.
• - Bug catching, again, now has a limit on the number of bugs you can hold and a lower value per item on sale (recently made much lower, without warning, in this case)
• - Capsule Machine furniture objects have a resale value of 1 gralat (instead of half price)
• - Christmas Gift furniture has been retroactively devalued, to also sell for 1 gralat per piece instead of the original half price (thousands on some items)
• - Hat stores have recently been adjusted to all have rotating stock in order to stimulate 'impulse purchasing' and limiting availability of specific items
• - Select furniture pieces have been adjusted to be more expensive than initial release prices (in particular, the castle furniture, after they were found to be extremely profitable)
• - Personal Uploads have been altered, without notice, now giving "upload tokens" instead of gralats, meaning you can only exchange them for half price on an alternate upload.
• - Furniture items have now been altered, without notice, to resell for 10 gralats per piece instead of the original half price.

To be clear, I have no problem with changing these things.
I do, however, have a problem with not being warned first.
This is dishonest thievery, and the persons responsible should be ashamed.

If you disagree with this action,
consider carefully what this trend implies before purchasing in-game currency (gralat packs) in future.  

Honestly, We all see what you mean.

Classic has a serious issue with basically ********* players in the *** with this kinda thing. It's sad that staff decide that profit is more important than the enjoyment and quality of a game and quality and fairness to players  

Things like these make me wonder if Graal will even last.
The recent bugs that are becoming more common each day are part of why I say this.
It seems like graal would have to be fully reworked to prevent issues like these and I'm not fully sure if that's even worth the effort as they could just make a new game that potentially has a bigger chance of becoming popular and can function better than the current graal does (Graal3D possibly?)

Ofcourse I have no knowledge on what goes on behind the scenes this is just something that came to my mind
This is also not to bash graal or anything since I'd be excited to see something like graal3d happen or the game being reworked in general

The furniture loads from a separate database so when communication between the server and it are strained houses don't load properly.

We are working on a solution to the duping.

We've re-enabled selling/refunding furniture but nerfed the maximum refund to 10g for now.

It has been said the furniture resale nerf is temporary but I have a feeling the system of preventing this isn't going to be what we want.

furniture tokens incoming

 

We need to know why $65k was spent on hot dogs at fp4's barbecue  

Dusty used to point out how people refund uploads and sell furnis whenever they want something. So yeah don’t expect those resales go up anytime soon, but i agree with you guys.  

Alltime leaderboard warning.
k

And wtf is wrong with that  

They added the guild logos in the view joined guilds menu  

why would they warn anyone about negative changes to the economy within in the game?
maybe if they had updates and "update changes" info like other games, then they probably would  

Agreed,

Graal is certainly on a downwards slope.
It’s basically stole the 1990’s Zelda Graphics and it’s purpose is to make the last money that can be from kids buying iTunes all the updates primarily want to make the game more addictive, not help players like you. So what’s cares if they notify you lol

The reason why the servers population on iClassic is so low is because of the new apps that are innovative.

Classic is literally stuck in a time loop in the early 2000’s.

because it's underhanded to not tell your community the changes you make  

please quit graal

edit: everyone

Like Sawyer said, it's mainly just the fact that that it's just a cruddy thing to do. It's also good for your game and so on. Look into any game you play and PlayStation,PC, Or even mobile games. In every one there is probably a news tab and a update log where they tell you about the games updates and more and why things change. There is even a way to view updates on the Android play store in the app description. It's good for the game because they get feedback and can use it to make the game better. Classic obviously doesn't do this because they obviously just want money and don't really care about your opinion of how bad a change screws players over
