Fish HW ----- OMG......Can they not just tell us the truth?

"We have 2 FHWE & we double checked their run-time, they are 71.5 hours, so 3 days
Am I supposed to clap? Am I supposed to congratulate someone? There are supposed to be 4 days ....not 3. Did they presume that no one would notice.
Several days ago, there was a post where you could leave suggestions for the New Year. I thought about suggesting that GGS not lie to us and be straightforward and truthful with the players. I did not post that, because I knew that this was absolutely too much to hope for.
It is very simple. You simply post the truth. GGS thought too many people were getting Gold Licenses from the Fish HW. So, they took a lot of time away. Now, they are actually giving back just a portion of the time, and they actually put a little smiley face....as if they did the right thing......as if we should be thankful.........which is utterly ridiculous.
Couldn't GGS have simply told us the truth? They could have posted this: "We found that too many people are winning gold licenses, so we are going to shorten the length of the Fish HW."
Would a statement like that have disappointed me.....probably. But, I would have know they were telling us the truth. Imagine that. No one could have been truly mad at their lack of truthfulness.

EDIT: if you don't like the calendar don't look at it then because i'm sure there are a lot of people (me included) that like the calendar.
I was wondering why I am no longer able to win the mermaid sculpture from this event.
If I remember correctly... there was a time when the duration of the Cooperative Championship was 5~6~7 days long. Later, changes were made where the structure of the hardwork prizes was increased to include more than 100 prizes. Yet, shortly after this change was made, the duration of the event was shortened. The top tier co-ops were outraged from not being able to achieve all the hardwork prizes in the allotted time.
I suggest a restructure to the layout of the FHWE hardwork prizes --if the duration of the event is to remain at 3 days.
I'm hoping the long-awaited rework of the Deep Sea Fishing region, planned for this year, will bring about a positive outlook and a renewed interest to the game.
Fish ON!
I also like the rework of the gourmet farm. The only thing I can remember from the original gourmet farm was it had us making pasta noodles with a few recipes in a restaurant-style building. (Some new players would wonder why its called a 'gourmet' farm and has a 'hamburger' icon representing the farm) Yep, now I remember why I don't recall much from the original gourmet farm.... The entire farm was stripped clean, and we were reimbursed farm dollars and we had to start anew with all new buildings / stables to build..."something being better for the players?" SURE.
i know, my point was that the mods do their best to tell everyone that wants to know what going to be happening in the form of a calendar and that unless you want to be a mod i would respect them because their doing the best they can with the whole world of idiocracy trying to run a game and giving them stupid info that is completely wrong.i think the mods did a very nice job with the 2 fhwe and that we should be grateful not say "oh but they should not be happy, it's only 3 days long".
But I', pretty sure we'd all say hats off to the mod team, at times we must test their patience nearly as much as GGS test ours!
I think your idea of "scrapping the game" (make huge changes) is my definition of "rework." IMO All the recent changes made to the duration of events / hardwork rewards... how can I explain it... is their way of setting the difficulty level in old console games... EASY - MEDIUM - HARD - EXPERT. I guess they are fine-tuning the events which will bring about more gold usage... ehhh?
My idea of "rework" does involve "making huge changes," which is why I gave those examples, (ancient history to the extreme) since I couldn't remember any recent, huge changes to the game that has any impact on my farming strategy.
Yes, I do agree, shortening the duration of the event, but not changing the points required to earn the prizes is very unfair.
I don't even bother with it anymore. Just send my boats out and unload 'em like normal, maybe rack up a few points & rewards in the process if things line up, but I'm not going to "hold" boats or plan trips to maximize the meter, since I already know the GML is out of my reach and I don't really care about the other rewards.
Not that I really care that much about a GML worth 82¢ either, I'll just buy gold if I need it - but I never turn down an easy GML.
They are throwing the baby out with the bathwater, it seems. If they return to offering fun events with good, attainable rewards, people will open their wallets back up.
And the #1 player on the entire US server has 6.7 Million points. 20.4 Million is just plain ridiculous.
I wouldn't be surprised if they did change it. I think the reason why they put up such huge points requirements is to cater to that 1% chance a player with unlimited real-money funds will discover the game and is willing to spend... say thousands and thousands of gold to earn that precious unicorn deco. For the daily player, we do realize the points needed to earn the final rewards are absurd. I wish they would realize this and cater to ALL types of players, stagger the good rewards at different intervals of the rewards format, so that any player would feel satisfied with participating in events even though they are not able to completely earn every single reward.
My 2 cents.. hehehehe
And yes, if the rewards were hard to get but just about doable I'd likely buy a little gold to help me but as it stands - again no point - I'd spend more on gold than the prizes are worth. OK so its all good points to the WWC - but again no real point - they amount of coins they want for the top items is way out of my reach, even with a lot of high placed finishes, it takes me around 2 wwc's to get a candy cow shed.
Silly management tactics on GGS part, but then again, I really cant say I expect any different.
my conclusion of support is that they're useless and when they do contact you back you just keep running around in circles and they just confuse you more.
i don't really want a dsf rework but maybe a fhwe rework would be good.
when they rework it again.... it will not be a good thing for the players
best leave it alone as it is, it's the best we're gonna get at this point
the dsf is not the best it can be at this point but if they do a rework to "make it better" it'll probably get worse and i think that the dsf is the only thing that is keeping a lot of players from leaving.
