Avatar item changes: Punishment or Reward?

[uSuck/iFIGHT/BellaDeath]

This is a simple poll: Do you feel punished or rewarded?

The GF has reduced the bonus of some avatar items by a factor of 10

Examples:
When I did the exo-suit mission before I got an additional 2000+ xp
from my mob bonus using the 8-guage, now its about 200.

When I used the Type-56 on the war boat mission my cash max bonus
was upto 1 billion, now its about 100 Million


after you voted post if you think the GF is trying to kill mobsters to force the community to switch to M2, or any other reasons these changes would have been put into game play.

Punishment. You (just using an example) and myself included (large mobs) got hella XP and cash off the avatar items. Now, new people won't be able to.

At one point, 240 energy was worth 600M to me, not anymore.
At one point, 1 energy was worth 20 experience, not anymore.
Advantage for older players, punishment for new players.

GF has no clue what he is doing anymore. He should just leave and put whoever was in charge back in place.

Yeah, I find it to be a punishment really, but then again, those were insanely mad bonuses.

I think the poll is misleading. It's a limit, so no matter what it's a punishment for people who can get past that limit (in this case, mob size). I think good idea/bad idea would've been better, even though the poll votes would've been the same. It's just that "reward" wouldn't make any sense at all to vote for, no matter what.

I feel neither. If anything....torture maybe? Hmmm....maybe something similar....who knows. But not punishment or reward for sure.

I don't like it at all, I feel as though the Godfather continually tries to slow down the people that have been playing the longest so that the people who haven't can try to catch up even though it will never happen unless he caps everything in the game (which would ruin it). I'm tired of him taking a good thing away. It's driving away players. I wonder if the GF realizes that those new players he is helping will eventually be in the older players position and just as ticked off. If he capped it to level the playing field, then he needs to remove all mob size requirements for missions and property too. That way people can Buy all the property as much as they want without having a big mob and do all the missions as much as they want without doing the same.

If I could have one thing from the Godfather, it would be this:: A detailed list of changes with an explanation like every other game out there that details their patches. I would also ask that he polls changes before hand IN GAME so that EVERYONE can see the poll and vote and release the results later with a date on when the changes will go into effect.

It's the same. He only changed the mission bonus equation to a higher %, capped at 500, and divided by 10. It looks nice on the screen, but the bonus is garbage now, I would rather not even have it....

It's a java game on myspace/facebook, don't expect balance.
