I'm sick of watching these same retarded ads non-stop to play your game when I've already spent upwards of 60$ on it. This is utterly ridiculous. And sometimes the ads simply don't work, over and over again, meaning I can't get my speed boost, meaning I greatly regret ever being bored enough to give you a dime.
I'm sorry to hear that. Sadly I have absolutely no influence on which ads are shown to players and if they are working correctly. I already wanted to remove the video rewards, because I can't assure that there are enough working videos and the revenue is pretty low. Some players convinced me to keep them and I fear removing them would make some players even more angry.
Boosts should apply to main workshop and event workshop. Especially the ones we buy with real money. There's no way I'm going to suffer doing boosts on both. It's a really, really, really big bummer that it works this way.
Thanks for the feedback. First of all there is a technical reason for this. Boosters are part of a workshop and they affect the multipliers of a workshop. Changing this would be a bigger refactoring. But I don't want to justify this solely with technical reasons.
Imho boosters are pretty cheap for historical reasons, especially when you consider the permanent booster upgrades (that are shared across both workshops) and the amount of free gems you can get through expeditions and the free gems upgrades.
And I'm pretty sure that as soon as I would change it to the way you suggest, players would ask why the boosters are so expensive while no event is running, because they are only worth the half.
I hope it works again in the meantime. I'm considering a speedboost for gems option, but I haven't decided on this yet.
