Regardless of what you guys tried to do here with this update, i dont expect nor want a change in this update it would just destroy the economy more than it has already. This game has lost significant value to not only me but to a massive amount of people. I wish i could crunch the numbers but for now all i can do is make an educated guess based on the people i have talked to and the posts i have seen. I actually used to put money into this game because i felt the devs actually cared about the game and not profits. this was the update we got, not the update we wanted :(. 

I agree and disagree. you are right feelings are not facts. but that saying goes both ways, just because some people agree and like the update does NOT mean that its a positive change. Unfortunately i do believe this was a whim update, not only that but it also pushes players to spend money. you can not seriously sit there and look at the new donor status tickets and tell me that Is not pay to win. all i have to do is buy 100$ worth of those tickets and sell each one for 200k  of in game currency and be massively rich. Its very blatant that the devs are prioritizing that $$$$.

---How to kill player base on a game 101--- i wonder if the devs even play this game. Ive played this game since 2013 and seen a dev online one time in my entire playtime.

i think this is something everyone can get behind. I personally like the new color changes, but the perspective from color blind people wasn't even considered in my opinion.

I can attest to this, a large number of my friends ingame are feeling discouraged from playing because of the change to both the Lucky Egg and Amulet Coin. Many of us are donators and have been playing this game for a long time. After this change we will no longer be donating my $25 every month. I feel like it is a direct insult to the players and an obvious money grab. At the very least make a consumable version of the Amulet coin and hell, just nerf the original further. I have been playing this game for well over five years and this is by far the worst update I have seen.
In addition, I do not see what has been gained by making players unable to use fainted leads for their abilities. Now I have to keep my Magcargo alive for flame body whereas normally I would rebattle trainers.

I dont think the game is P2W but i am also extremely displeased with this change in the update. tanked the market on items that were useful. now the only thing worth ANYTHING in Pokemmo is shinies, which also happen to have a significantly lower encounter rate than the vanilla games. this update just made the rich players richer and the poor players poorer. Im currently wishing i could refund the money I put into this game. This was the one game that i was really into and have played for years now, unfortunately this change has just taken the will to play out of me :( 

I agree and hope the devs understand they have made a mistake. As with any game updates are going to have split opinions with those who like and dislike the update, this update has an overwhelming amount of people who dislike it. I just hope they can learn from this.

Feelings are not facts.
 
It's true that some players have negative views about this update but others see it as a positive change. 
 
I do not think that the admins change things on a whim like you suggest. They seems to know their game and even though they can be wrong, just like all of us, they try to enhance the economy & the experience for the majority of players in the long term. It can make people unhappy in the short therm because they have to change the way they play but it's for the best.

For real i can stand for the amulet coin change (farm money on this game is the most painful activity of all online games, but i can bear it), but nerf the only item that helps you to level on a midly decent rhytm???? I swear even using it take a Pokemon to lv 100 is almost impossible, i hope they reconsider to at least change de lucky egg to what it used to be

Hey guys. You either know me or you don't. Won't bother introducing myself, but it is relevant to note I posted a mildly popular Money Making Guide for the game last year.
 
The Guide effectively highlighted a "daily grind" flow that all highly addictive MMOs are known for. Just one year ago, players had the option, and more importantly the incentive to log in every day, harvest a berry patch, do a rebattle run, and possibly even spend some time trying to hit it big in the Safari Zone or the Artisan Cave. While it wasn't perfect, this was a healthy gameplay loop. Again, the incentive was the important part.
 
After these last two major updates, it's no longer enticing to engage in these activities vs. just buying a bronze donator ticket and selling it. Yes, there are rebattles, and yes, farming is still a thing, but the harshly diminished return on investment for these activities has rendered them unviable. 
 
People will know me as someone who liked to play the game in sort of an "ironman" style. I bred my competitive pokemon from scratch and explored all of the games' systems. The game no longer supports a player like me, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. 
 
It's completely understandable to want to mitigate whales and keep high value things relatively out of reach, but the gameplay loop has hit a breaking point with a lot of players, I think. At this point actively playing the game just feels like I'm falling behind.

The last update about Amulet Coin really hurts our players badly.I have to say  the change deprived the freedom of online time while you used Amulet Coin because you don‘t hope wasting time on others things except battling with NPC lest low using ratio of Amulet Coin,But if you feel bored and want to do something else or there is some more important things happened halfway will waste the time of Amulet Coin.Besides the number of Amulet Coins in market is limited and the price will also rise.I know the update is aimed to increasing the playing time and playing actions of players,but it made us feel strongly forced.Don't you think it just drains players' enthusiasm and goes back on the aim of staff?
