the truth ( in my opinion ) MUST READ

[mylittlelego]

this goes to all the people who play story games:

teamlava i dont mean to be rude but im just expressing my opinion:
5 reasons peaple are quitting:

1. prizes for city cash, gems, ex are too high for people to buy are you kidding me!!! 100 real dollars for 580 city cash you cant get s*** for it

2. expansion is too low you cant fit that much buildings in a little space at least make the factories smaller or everytime you expand it does a 3X3

3. stop lying about your so called weekly uptades currently you are just trying to make people wait and wait months just so they wont quit story games

4. you guys never listen to the consumers and everytime we tell you a new idea and you make it cost a ridicoulus prize for something that we gave you an idea for

5. i hear lots of complains on this website especially about the porno **** and how you guys dont respond to the questions that they ask you guys sometimes ABOUT THE CASES how about instead of making it a chance game why not let the consumers choose whatever they want for 72 city cash that is far for both teamlava and the consumers

HOPE THIS HELPS TEAMLAVA CHANGE ITS MIND AND MAKE STORY GAMES BETTER

1-It is a free game and it is your choice to gamble or stick with the many cool items you can get without updates.
2-They are working on more expansions.
3-We've gotten like 5 weekly updates in a row and obviously there is no stopping here. We even got a midweek update! :)
4-They have implemented many of the consumers ideas in the last few weekly updates and they have a set schedule for what they are going to include in each update, so sometimes you may not see a highly demanded item for awhile.
5a-That is long gone.
5b-They have considered this and we'll see if anything is changed in the future, but for now, there is not much demand.

To be honest, your long post would be more accurate 4 months ago. If you have taken a 4 month vacation from TeamLava games, then welcome back to the new and improved TeamLava. If you've been here for the whole timeline of events, then you are sure overlooking a lot. :/

For someone who didn't mean to be rude, you sure worded it rudely enough.

Matt covers a great deal of it , but this:


"4. you guys never listen to the consumers and everytime we tell you a new idea and you make it cost a ridicoulus prize for something that we gave you an idea for "

really takes the cake.

If you offered TeamLava an idea, yes thats 'OFFERED', they are under no obligation to give you all the credit. Offering an idea takes NO MONEY to do. Asking TeamLava to add a certain item, uses NO MONEY. However creating, drawing and implementing the said idea TAKES MONEY. And guess how they're suppose to make money ?

I don't see how you can even hint at laying a claim to something that's not even yours.

No kidding. Last week's City update included a new magic box with Notre Dame as the top prize. Notre Dame was one of my suggestions in the first "five things" thread. It never even occurred to me to be upset that it's not available for coins or even outright purchase, or that they ought to give me one for free. I hope to find one in a case but frankly, I just think it's awesome that TL implemented one of my ideas. And who knows, maybe they came up with it independently before I ever said a thing; who knows what their turnaround time is on such complex artwork?

[hippoberry]

In that case, you better start working on an obsessive penchant for dumpsters and subway entrances ! :P

Well, the good news is that I love the subway entrances. The bad news is that I now have 4 car dealerships and 2 aquariums :(

I agree with everything said here!!!!

And "mylittlelego" or whatever your called, I feel like your new on the forums and just want to post random **** to ge your name out there or something.. Oh and keep bringing up OLD threads. That's probably why your saying this stuff. QUIT LOOKING IN THE PAST FORUMS!!

Well it will be a nice gesture, if team lava will reward the "idea giver" something to credit for his/her idea/s- esp when they use it........ It doesn't mean to be a gem (tho that would be great!LOL), but anything that will encourage more players to join this kind of "event".

Congratz drift! Using ur suggestion/idea is something to be proud of ! ;-)

[mattdiner]

I do take full credit for the Farm Story avocado tree. :p

They do, in fact right now you can potentially earn gems for giving them an idea for a new drink for the drink machine.

lol im 14 years old

That wasn't about you o_o

Reading is fundamental, kids.

[desertfarmer]

That's good to hear (or read in this matter ) I guess better luck next time to those who already had given theirs and is already used in game.
I wonder if they can put the player's name to name whatever they suggested as a credit to the giver. Like for example - mattdiner suggested avocado- they can name it," mattdiner tree" ;-)

[Swiminn6]

Haha! Couldn't agree more.

[Rachael98]

Well, that wasn't actually referring to you, but obviously you have parental permission?
Anyway, I disagree with absolutely everything said in post #1 and agree with Matt. Although, Mog, your first comment kind of makes sense. A politician's idea of truth=everyone else's idea of lies. Same here:p.

Whilst what you're saying may be true (I'm not biased:D):p, make sure, please, that you don't even allude towards a personal attack.

I agree but bringing up threads from like 5 month's ago is so annoying! They are long gone.

I giggled. Then I decided that it was too serious:p(<---like that smiley:D).

[hippoberry]

I though necromancy in that sense meant to post on an old thread, and 'bring it back to life' rather than just mentioning old threads in a new thread. You're not exactly reviving anything but a topic in this case ?

Or, whatever, I don't know. Banana.

The way this is written, appears that you are speaking for all players. You're not btw. Yes, you can express your opinion. I respect that. But I disagree with some of your points. The game is free. Be grateful for what you get for nothing it's not like you need to spend to play. That's just my opinion. Some of the complaints you speak of were resolved long ago, as Matt pointed out.
Ppl need to be more grateful for what they've been given for no cost IMHO

[LanokaHarbor]

Swimming,

Why are you picking on mylittlelego? I thought the forum is supposed to be a way for team lava to get feedback. That is exactly what Lego is dong. It is not random **** if it is his/her feedback, even if it was mentioned in prior threads. Ot everyone can read the enormity of information in past threads.

The idea is to get players to come to this discussion board and create an active participation of communication. Here, mylittlelego does just that and is being reprimanded in what appears to be in an abrupt way.

[nmishii]

Thank you for your post, LanokaHarbor. I agree. mylittlelego isn't the first person this has happened to.

[desertfarmer]

I agree but bringing up threads from like 5 month's ago is so annoying! They are long gone.

I checked the thread's date twice after reading ur reaponse. I saw it's dated 6-30-2011..
This is not an old thread. Maybe u meant old TOPIC - not THREAD!

And everybody is entitled to his/her opinion. This is a game forum where everyone can voice out their ideas,suggestions,disappointments,complains,gratit ude,etc etc. over the game. Everyone can agree or disagree!
The poster is justing voicing out what's in her mind. Sometimes it relaxes us when u take out something from our chest.
He/she just wanted to relax! Aaarrrgh!

[driftboutique]

But he's complaining about things that are simply untrue. I think that's why a lot of people got so annoyed. Also, while he has every right to post, people also have every right to pick apart his post. It goes both ways.

Lastly, no one said anything about this thread being old, which as we can all see with minimal crime-solving capabilities, it is not. I believe he has been resurrecting other long-dead threads, which might explain my he is complaining about things that changed months ago.

I just quoted the player who said this is an old thread. And u are saying no one said anything...... Old thread is different than old topic. Topic is the subject, thread is the place WHERE u put the topic...

Thanks matt, for giving an example of old thread AND old topic that is being REVIVED,making it clear. ;-)

No, that's not what the quote said. Read it again. You need to stop trying to school people when it's clear that you're the one who's misreading.

[mattdiner]

Driftboutique was referring to the threads I posted.
Not this thread.

[desertfarmer]

That is why i made it clear. The poster is reviving an OLD TOPIC NoT a ThREAD. I maybe 14 yrs old but im not trying to school people here. I can see most peoplle here are older and much more intelligent than i am!
Becos i am too much stupid, i tried to search in THIS thread the old thread she's refering to, only to realize that Swimmin meant an OLD ToPIC.

No, Swimmin meant old threads. The threads Matt posted.

[yogurtjunkie303]

Desert ? not stupid, just misunderstood. I think the complaints are directed towards lego?s habit of bringing back old threads as well as irrelevant topics. Example of irrelevant topics are shown on page 1 of THIS thread, I think everyone is clear on this.

Example of lego reviving old threads are just like what matt posted. Lego just out of the blue resurrected multiple threads that had been dead for 5 months. Below is a screenshot of one of those threads. Hope it helps.

Thank you to driftboutique and mattdiner!!!! You guys actually understand why. I didn't say anything for a long time then finally I was just like, c'mon!!!

Also to desertfarmer, I wasn't referring to this thread. I was referring to others as drift and matt mentioned..

[driftboutique]

finally a person who is not rude and actually respects what people think and protect people from other rude people

There's nothing inherently disrespectful about disagreeing with you, which many people in this thread have done in a perfectly polite way.

[Swiminn6]

finally a person who is not rude and actually respects what people think and protect people from other rude people

Maybe I could take that offensively and call you rude. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions just as drift has said ^. And I do believe I was being nice to you on the your factory thread because you brought up a good point..

[Rachael98]

Anyone else get the feeling that this is off-topic? I'm not going to contribute to the necromancy topic, because I'll end up insulting everyone.
Don't revive old threads pointlessly though. Directed at all.

ii didnt mean it that way wimmin and driftboutique ever since swimmin has been picking on me i found it rude and i got angry and thought everybody was calling me mean stuff
