agreed. i feel violated to some extent because the time and goods i have spent leveling up my great buildings has been severely devalued. why? so other people (mostly players that have maxed out tech) can spend even MORE time on this game playing GvG (which i have no interest in)? i made the mistake in thinking that the bonus adjustments would only apply to GvG. not to mention, those that spend real money to load up on watchfires and bypass hard work and strategy, gain advantage because watchfires are not affected. the spread between those that have (or bought) and those that have not will just widen. it seems that this game has just been re-engineered right in front of us and the game as it was (which was very good) is no longer. this does not motivate me to spend more time to build up the bonus that was taken from me. in fact, just the opposite. . .it motivates me to spend less time here and find other things to do, maybe even another online game to pass the time. disappointed . . .
