I also agree
In winning a battle there is always weapons to be had as loot

[TUNA007]

weapons never should have been dropped as loot in first place, you should have to build everything you need/want, or trade for it.as for us older players we have put lots of time into this game so we should have advantage, ive made weapons right from beta, cause i felt i wanted 1 of every building ,it wasnt the most profitable
back then, but it just what i did. if peeps put as much effort in to the game as they do whinning in forums they could/would have what they wanted. plus ill be buyin 1 feast for 289 coins in to thanx for reading cheerio

Very well put Tuna, this should be an automated response when someone complains or whines in the forums. I am not saying that i have never complained or whined about changes, because I certainly have, but i have spent so much time playing this game and I know this game inside and out- I do not think im better than any other person but I will let my island/star/storage speak for itself. I am a realist, people complain that weapons are too hard to get and too expensive which is true, but on the other hand you have people who built those buildings and produce those weapons and have lost quite a bit of gold coin (value) doing this prior to the change. There are always two sides of the spectrum and everyone, new, old, rich, poor, needs to think about that before complaining and arguing for what they think is "fair". Opinions will always vary, but we all need to think and take into consideration everyone else's.

Basically BB is killing its own game. And for a life of me I can't understand why it is so hard for them to get it. A good game offers balance easy mode with challenges (if players wish to have them not forced like guild quests asking to run Nords).
A good game offers plenty of shiny fluff for people to spend the real money on and some good, useful features only available for real money.
A good game offers awesome incentives during special evens to induce people to spend real money on the game.

If BB don't know what their customers would like than ask them. I cannot think of anyone opposing the expansion islands. Some people don't care (they don't need them) but even those don't say anything negative about them. Here is your CLUE BB - carrot.

PVP? Lots of people tried it and gave it up because of crap rewards. We don't mind resource sink if there is anything useful from it we can get. Another clue - change rewards - you got 2nd carrot.

A starving cow will not yield you much milk. And you are slowly starving those cows (players) and killing your game. Wake up.

I have to agree. I do not like PVP. It is the reason I quit other games I have played in the past. I have always enjoyed the adventures, but I have to agree with most here that the new loot system seriously takes any fun out of them when it comes to anticipation of the rewards, which was the main reason to do them. I have accounts on both servers, and it's become increasingly difficult to run adventures due to the cost of producing enough weapons to do them with, as buying them in the TO is far too expensive. I have yet to be able to build elite weapons production buildings, because of the cost in materials.

I've played for around three years myself, and have witnessed changes that I do not feel have been for the better. This game was based on a pre-industrial world model, and when there were battles in the real world back then, one of the things that was looted by the victors was weapons. If you want to keep the model going properly, the weapons should be part of the loot. Additionally, the quality and quantity of loot should be better, also.

Hey, I think it was so fun to get weapons, specially cannon, in the loot. I know a player who used cannon and took down his iron chain then had to go build it again after the weapons were removed from loot. I almost quit playing when they were no longer part of the fun. I could never get enough salt to make cannon in the first place now it is such a drag to get so little. It is a logical part of battle to pick up the weapons of the enemy to keep fighting. Even some soldiers get dropped off and have to find weapons on there own. I just don't think taking weapons out is war like.

Ehem- almost all the games I have played provide weapons as loot. I is just silly to take them out. I'd rather produce my own supplies to make weapons.

[l26lucky]

hey
I agree that it's good idea and would make the game easier

[Slim_Pickins]

With the removal of weapon drops it would seem logical that BB would have increased mine content amounts and improved weapon production chains.
But nooooo, they took the cool out of " Ohhh cool game" Hope to see them bring weapon drops back or make improvements on the production chains.
Otherwise I guess we are all stuck being farmers. Plant wheat, draw water from the wells etc... :/

+1
bring weapons back, and I will actually buy gems!

My biggest problem with the removal of weapons is how much harder it makes the game for new players. For us 50s its either inconvenient or a nice change depending on how prepared you were for it. But as it stands now, starting from scratch (with no outside help) takes a much longer time as you can't run the simplest of adventures without a pretty substantial production chain. I'm part of a small guild so my sample size is admittedly small but we've lost several newish members who basically stalled out after weapon loot was removed.

Its still possible to level, sure, but the smallest mistakes cost you a week or months production, especially if you are talking crossbows or cannons. Back when I leveled a year or two ago, I was pretty self-sufficient up through level 40-45, then I started using the TO more heavily. I can't imagine redo-ing all that now with the current loot drops.

Edit: And yes you can get help from your guild, but who really wants to play a game leveling on handouts?
