I agree. But, please note the CM's response regarding the 70/30 mix:
"Please note, that it is just natural that there are more negative than positive comments here and also votes. Most people only visit the forum to complain and not to say that they like something. I am actually surprised to see it is not more negative votes, I expected way more."
The semantics aside, since everyone could go back and forth on those all day, the most likely result of this first beta test is that they go back and tweak the numbers and try again, until they get numbers from those in the sample group to a point they find is acceptable.
As I understand the way these Inno beta tests work, is they take the feedback, see what the majority felt and why they felt that way, and then act accordingly. If the majority say they didn't like something about an event, they tweak whatever that was before it gets released, it happens all the time with the buildings offered, mechanics of the mini game, etc.
In this case they look and see, alright, half of those 70% negative votes said the numbers were too low, and they would probably vote in favor if those were adjusted. Just an example, but that's why I've been careful to always say "at those numbers" when I say it isn't going to get passed. The only way it goes through at those numbers is if Inno in it's desire to try and put GBG farming back in the box ignores the responses and numbers and pushes it through anyway, which is where my comment about being concerned that Inno would shoot themselves in the foot if they pushed it through anyway.
Oh, and I'll also add that when they tweak the numbers, let's just say to 80% from the 60-something percent they tested, it's gotta be a true 80%, not like the bogus 72% they have with 3 campers now, which is most often closer to 50%, lol....but that's just a personal pet peeve of mine!
