Ive seen enough to determine that this new feature is a huge mistake and will negatively impact the player community of this game. Are you in support of removing this feature?

FYI: I have a rocky history with @Cpt_insano_2k1 , but we agree on this, if it is any sort of indicator that I can't even bring myself to debate him on this topic or criticize the poll.
Which I guess means a leaning to kill the wall for now.
The optics are terrible for the game and TP who runs the game. It's screams "tacky" and "desperate" on the surface. And beneath the surface is personal information collection and surveys that lead to more surveys that don't give players credit far more often than they actually do, because you get disqualified from one of several chain of surveys for reason xyz. This kind of predatory, shady, scummy practice shouldn't have been allowed into Timelines by TP, and the people who proposed and implemented this should be summarily fired
However, I would like to see more on how you think this will negatively impact the player community.
The bigger issue is that it might be collecting data from all of us whether we actually use the feature or not, and TP has yet to provide an answer to whether that’s actually happening or not.
This is the problem!!!!!
I tremble at the thought that my favorite game may have been turned into malware spam!!!!!!
Yes this is actually point if it doesn't collect data directly from the game then there shouldn't be an issue. Although I still deplore those surveys that don't give you anything but more surveys.
I'm convinced the surveys don't complete deliberately so they subtly get more personal information off you by wording questions slightly different. I may be a sceptic but the pattern fits the mould like a Taylor cutting cloth, shall we say.
And due to this I've halted all my purchases, was tempted to grab a steam pack now that its on but not anymore.
Unless we play from malware free steam, facebook and presumably Windows store or does that count as mobile?
There is no offer wall on my Windows app.
1. Does the app share your user data like ip address etc even if you don't open the offerwall? That needs to stop lol.
2. There needs to be a disclaimer saying that your user data may be shared with TP partners Ironsource with a confirm button before opening said wall and a reference link to how Ironsource may use or sell your data available to read before clicking the confirmation button.
I like the offerwall as a good way to balance the game for ftp players, but it needs to be done the right way. If they fix those things, I would like to see it stay. If not it should go.
Joke aside, get rid of this thing ASAP, otherwise seeya ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There is enough people who dont give a **tsk tsk** nowdays about anything i get that, but there is enough here who do see privacy as valuable thing and clearly this offerwall is the exact opposite.
Please consider to remove it otherwise you will loose a lot i can tell ya that.
If the thievery of personal identifying information were limited only to activities from the wall, you’d have a point. But with people reporting higher data volumes even when not interacting with the wall, simply having the game installed becomes a danger that should not be expected or tolerated.
The ad wall squick-factor, though, adds a dimension of...sleaziness...that is, frankly, concerning. Ah, well. Silver lining: when Timelines expires as all things do, I'll be as much relieved to be quit of it as mourn its passing.
That captures my feelings in a nutshell. Well spoken.
I keep dithering about quitting, due to lack of something new to do in the game.
I keep hoping, and yet they do stuff like this.
I keep wondering if anything we say here matters.
Frak it, let the dog drive. Peace, y’all.

While TP execs may be as excited as Dale in the first image, and some of us were waiting in anticipation as to what it would be....I think many people are thinking he same as that poor contestant in the final inage after seeimg what it actually is.....
Troubling, to say the least.
