Purpose of the added "Tavern Boost"....

[NWWAkamai]

I'm still trying to figure out why Inno decided to add this 5% "Tavern Boost" that automatically kicks in every 4 hours if you enter your friends tavern. The tavern opens to that tab every time if the boost is available. It has an "Activate" Button, but activates automatically if the tab opens, so you never need to push the button...I personally don't see any added battle benefit from this, have you?

Technically, the added benefits are the boosts themselves. A bonus benefit of playing on PC is that you don't (yet) have to watch an ad to get them, whereas I believe on mobile you do.

So this was added to force mobile users to watch ads if they want another 5% bump? Explains why the "activate" button that isn't used on pc...no way I'd watch ads for a 5% bump...

On mobile you have to watch an ad to get that little boost. Edge cases where it can be useful, otherwise a pita.
