are you too new or on the payroll? whichever, what you said doesnt excuse for the state of the events, your logic has a lot of flaws like for example you say that this is aimed towards the whales of the new servers however they already have better then whats in this even cycle even low spenders, the problem is that you kinda dont understand the mechanics and the sort of catch up mechanics and competition in the game... you can be a prty long period afk and still be competitive if you know what you are doing... but i guess is easier to throw money at unnecessary bad events and hope to win against someone that knows what he is doing... (its funny how some people think that whales = mindless, sure there might be few mindless ones that buys what they see but not most of them... )

also your last point that "no one is force you to xyz" well again you seem to not understand basic psychology and stuff, fomo folo just few things not to mention targeted stuff, create unnecessary scarcity of something so you can sell it overpriced to force the people in need to spend a bit or a low spender to add a bit more and so on... anyways

a lot of people that complain, complain because we had better, complain because we know better, but when you are feeded with .... your entire experience ofc you dont know how to ask for better (also "thats the industry" argument is so... coping and invalid thats funny)
