i just wanted to voice my opinion about the new update and why i decided to quit because of it.
I am a non-coin buyer and i got into haypi because of the strategy and competitiveness of the game. Even though players were able to buy coins and use them to move cities, enhance crop, and acquire treasures easily, it didn't really affect the battling aspect which heavily relied on stats and strategy. However, this new update allows players to use coins to upgrade their equipment beyond what non-coin buyers could acquire. I think this creates too much of a disadvantage and causes the game to lose what i thought made it great. I understand haypi is in it for the profit, but i think they're going at it the wrong way. i don't see anything wrong charging money to play a game, but allowing coin buyers to enhance stats greatly changes the battling aspect of the game. I can't even rely on having the advantage of first attack when defending and speeds are equal because i will never match up to someone that buys coins. i really liked the game, but it really went south with the new update. Obviously other players see it too and other players do not think it is a big deal. Haypi is still very popular and gaining new players, but i think haypi's quality has downgraded. i think more current players will quit and new players will not stick with the game as long as with the older version. But if haypi ends up with more profits in the long run, then i guess it made the right decision for the company.
