You probably heard of the mana ad, only for some new accounts, that give free mana to those players. The ad helps for a lot more energy and the person can grind way more pots. I think it's unfair for the older players, who play since longer, that only some new accounts have it. Everyone, both new and older players should have this ad. A new update for the mana ad would be really appreciate.

I am agree with Ari!!!
I am an oldest player, and proud to never have make other accounts!!!
But everydays, i just win about 5 pots per days, and i hear new players can have about 50 pots per day!!! what is this injustice???
If the oldest players was rewarded, i think not a lot of players did not make multi Alts!!! because that forcing them to play also with just one account!!!

If it's not everyone that can have the ad, no one should have it.

I totally agree and I want to add another comment.

We continue to talk about fair play and eliminate cheating, etc.. but the ads are against all this.
If cheating is defined as a unique advantage ... What better example of mana ads?

Compared to an old account:
- Fast recharge of mana
- Avoids the use of pot
- The realm values ​​grow faster, creating a further distortion
- More mana = more available energy gained, the rankings are distorted and thus the premiums mana pot

Or for all or for none

If I do a little calculation of the number of missed pots not having the mana pot ads, I get between 5-15k .... yes, you read right 5-15k!!

THIS IS NOT FAIR PLAY!!!

I totally agree with that Marco. Totally unfair

Totaly agree too with Marcomec!! -_-'

I agree that ads need to be changed in one way or another, but Ari, I have little hope for the near future that they will. I put in a ticket some time ago about removing the ads that continue to scroll across the bottom of my screen when I go to chat or cloudview. I think that once a player puts money into the game the ads should go away. This is the response I received:

"The ads appear only on accounts created after a certain date, and do we do not currently have the ability to flag individual accounts to behave outside this specific parameter. We will be constantly evaluating game advertisements, as well as all other implementations that effect 'quality of life' gameplay. Thanks for your feedback!"

I will not go in the dynamic programming

I note however, that the response indicates the clear creation of two classes of players. To the detriment of fair play and positive dynamics of the community GA has introduced a factor for friction and chaos.

I will not even enter into the dynamics of marketing, even if this move can be a boomerang.

I find strange the ability to change some accounts and not others.
As always, everything depends on the willingness ... GA, we really want to have players (customers) happy or want to create an environment where diversity and negativity reigns ?

I've been playing SC since beta, so I've never experienced these ads firsthand. However, it would annoy the *bad word* out of me to have my gaming experience interrupted or disrupted by ads (other than the mana sale ad ofc). Over the past 16 months I've bought enough mana to consider myself a paying customer. Getting ads despite that would probably make me consider quitting.

These days I'm mostly a quite casual player, so If someone is getting a slight edge over me by clicking on ads, it's no big deal. I can see how new die-hard players feel this is an issue, so maybe sth needs to be done. However, forcing any third-party ads on people who already are buying mana, is definitely not the way to go.
