I now agree wholeheartedly.
No, they are not fixed.
Personally I am LOVING it! .... Makes the whole farm feel more open right back to the horizon, without a bouncing wall in the middle.
EDIT: Just general feel, not targeting anybody specifically: Some people tend to view BF team as a little baby. Excited about their every first shaky step. It's not a baby, it's a business, very hardcore business going after substantial money, using practices often on the edge of good moral bounderies, and those running it are supposed to be professionals, not just trying and trying and failing and failing and occasionally, once in a blue moon, they get things not even right, just "in the right direction". Although I myself like being positive, I find this approach amusing and a bit out of reality.
We do agree that your last line is amusing, especially the part where you call yourself positive. (This is where you now rip that comment apart & tell me how thats not what you meant) hehe
Woe betide you if you dare to enjoy this game without slandering the developers constantly, accusing GGS of whatever constantly or otherwise be plaintive constantly ...
..... we make bets on how long it takes Kamilcom to come up with a slandering/negative post again and how many 'misleading smileys' will be put in this time. And the way you call yourself positive, made us nicker! You're funny Kamilkom, thx for the entertainment ...
And if always being negative and slandering others fills your life and makes you happy, well .... go ahead and enjoy!

I applaud your reaction Scissors! Way to go!
There are so many outstanding bugs that are unresolved weeks or months later (lag, missing gold, unanswered support tickets after 8 weeks) and they choose to "fix" the exclamation points. Seriously, I question the priorities of the development team. The basic gameplay components are also severely lacking and one-dimensional. This game could be a LOT more fun, as many other farm games I've played are, yet somehow it isn't.
Your essay is near perfect in style and very revelatory, just wondering, shouldn't those three "woes" be followed by three beatitudes to keep the balance?
The bottom line issue, appart from hindering the view, is near zero informative value of these ex. marks. If all the events are flagged all the time (even the finished ones), the only information that missing flag carries is, that a player visited that event within the current session. And if something has a zero info value for a player, it will get ignored. Not sure what the developers purposed for them, but it can be sorted out in a number of better ways to give ex. marks some usefullness and functionality and limit their negative effect.
Who benefits from the latest update then? That's pretty much only/mostly those devoted players who stay logged in throughout the whole day, who are lucky with the game remaining stable for them all day without reloading, and who bother enough to visit their events each start of their gaming day to clear the view of the countryside. I suppose this will be tiny minority. And I think it's fair assesment to maintain, that the value of this update is very marginal, leaving majority of users out. :
PS: I look out of my window when I want to see nice countryside on the horizont. It has a very high happiness value per square.
Ups! I nearly forgot! Something special for my dear stalker and follower ........
it would be great if you could put general discussion about the game & personal quarrels aside and get back to the main topic of this discussion, meaning the content of this update.
Feel free to like or criticize the changes to exclamation marks and don't forget to come up with ideas for improvement if you choose the latter.
As for other debates, non-personal if possible, feel free to open a dedicated thread on the General Discussion section.
I'll be taking some of your feedback with me for our next feedback session, starting in a couple of minutes. Keep it coming anyway, there is always room for improvement... or more praise.
Stay nice and civil folks!

However, it would be very simple to have a mouse-over remove the exclamation points, rather than having to open and close each thing in the parking lot. So if we ask for this we might get it.
Still, there might be even better solutions than that .......
I personally would like only a one time notification on the appearance or change in status of items. I think people are able to remember that things like the Santa event and Coop challenge are in progress without regular reminders. And we really don't need a constant reminder that the Runestone trader is here.
I'd also find a once a day renewal of cleared exclamation marks a workable improvement.
