Petition to kill the wall

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?

    Until we know more exactly. I think it is to early to decide, but I think a good precautionary measure particularly if TP do not know themselves is to disable this "feature"

    Which I guess means a leaning to kill the wall for now.

    I for one will not be using the offer wall due to what I feel are wolves in sheep's clothing offers to get your marketing data for next to nothing. I feel the location of the button to be out of the way and easy to ignore personally.

    However, I would like to see more on how you think this will negatively impact the player community.

    I haven't even seen it yet, but it sounds very bad. On the flipside, I might do better this event from the amount of players boycotting.

    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.

    Two concerns
    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.

    I play on Kindle (Android) and have no wall. Still, not using mobile limits a lot of people, even if they don't realize it.

    So wait, ironSource can collect data from us through STT, whether we actually participate in the Offerwall or not? Did I actually understand that correctly?

    That certainly seems to be the case. They're harvesting our data without our consent, which is illegal for a lot of users (anyone in the EU or the UK for starters) and highly unethical for everyone else.

    I mentioned this in my fleet, but it may bear repeating here. I've come to view Timelines like a bad relationship; one with just enough redeeming qualities to keep it limping along on inertia, sunk costs and the occasional glimmer of what made it special once-upon-a-time.

    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 I personally do not like the feature, if someone desires to use it, that’s up to him or her.

    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.....
