	100% support for communicating with the users, like Zavira said. This feels like we were blindsided when it could have been so much smoother by talking.
Buzzard - March 14, 2021
	Guys at the end of the day it's just a game, no need to get over offencive about it. I was quite annoyed at first but really i don't care i have a lot of better things to be annoyed at. If you are really annoyed don't let it all out on the staff cause there are real people behind the screens, and they have feeling, so if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything.
Bowie - March 14, 2021
	As a final note, I’ve made many suggestions in the suggestions forum but they’ve all been conveniently ignored. Once again. I don’t know what else to do besides get frustrated and leave completely at this point because I never hear anything from any staff except to say that we should be mad at users and not staff who made this decision (which seems like a really flawed thing to say)
Bowie - March 14, 2021
	Also staff aren’t the only one that care about this game!! There would be no game without users so I don’t understand why staff and ex staff are getting so defensive when this isn’t something that seems right!
Bowie - March 14, 2021
	Hey rumor I did try that - no one listened to me when I was staff for a short time either, so here I am trying to make my voice heard. It really is dammed if you do damned if you don’t ya know.
Albion - March 14, 2021
	I think someone has improved the way to level one / food reward as I made it faster today than I can ever remember before so THANK YOU!!.........( Still will be wandering around with creatu exploring but feeding them is so much easier this morning).
Juke - March 13, 2021
	@Noir -- NPC shops still count towards the daily percentage. Only user merchant shops are affected by this.
Noir - March 13, 2021
	But basically, you want us to...stop buying from shops outright towards dailies, and yet do the shrines...that still requires you to buy stuff from said shops anyway to put towards them?...what? XD
SongbirdX - March 13, 2021
	oh no...:(
Otachie - March 13, 2021
	I really support Zavira. I stay hours in Res and its fun, I mostly spend my time in the sb talking with people ^^ I also did the token selling thing in the last days. I did bought tokens from shops, never bought them from Trades one by one. I don't have the patience to do it. I also bought bulk in food for the same reason. I can do shrining, I like shrining, really. I hope we can still resell food/items from the NPC shops, but like JeBlackSteel said, the non retired barter tokens would not be able to sell in merchants. So you actually need to get your food from NPC by buying it or buying it from another user's shop. I do use food from this for my food pen, my creatu need to eat something. I do use food for explore too. Geez, these pets eat around 1k food per week. I hope we are being heard and everyone ends happy at the end.
Stargazer - March 13, 2021
	Same, I'm in no way trying to come off as unappreciative, I can imagine how difficult it is to staff, implement, or create things for the site, I appreciate all the changes made for and all the effort put into it. But I also did the token thing, not as much as the food, I think I did the token thing about 3x in total, but still, if someone had told me or told everyone that was doing that with the tokens that it was against the rules, or that it was someway negatively effecting the way daily's worked I would have gladly stopped as well, none of us meant to break the rules, and none of us meant to "abuse the system". Res seems to have a great and supportive playerbase my guess is if most of them had known that it was something "wrong'' then most of them would have stopped.
Smuh - March 13, 2021
	Shark, I have admitted that I am one of the people that did the barter token thing. Not one person ever told me it was against the rules. Trying to shove blame on users that were never knowingly breaking any rules is a bit harsh. Had I been told it wasn't allowed, I would have stopped. Acting like this is a warranted thing over something like that is a bit rude in my opinion. I play plenty and the daily rewards are difficult to get doing things like shrines and quest with very little percentage gained for many finished quests and also shrine eggs.
Shark - March 13, 2021
	Those of you who are upset at the feature being removed should be mad at the people who would make 1000 tokens and sell them. That was the core issue here and why it warranted removal. Those of you who sold a little food as a final push aren’t the ones who caused the change here. Heck, I did that too after I would play for hours and still wouldn’t have the last reward. Again, as I said earlier, I agree that dailies are too hard to get in their current state without merchant shop sales. At least IMO not worth it for the extra rewards that are there. Still hoping and pushing for that to be changed :) very much hoping we see a revamp for it soon.
matt - March 13, 2021
	lord some of y’all are soooo whiny this is why I quit CM cuz no one is EVER gonna be happy. Damned if ya do and damned if ya don’t!!! So sorry to the staff who still give a damn about this game. Would LOVE to see some of you guys try running this game and implementing features, or even better seeing how it feels to be the one being criticized 🤣
Stargazer - March 13, 2021
	I agree with Shaefu too that does come off as insulting, we still would be purchasing from shops each day, for hours, there's nothing wrong with us reselling them. And not everyone can spend all day on the site, saying it's only a reward for those that spend all day/play the game all day is excluding the rest of the player base that don't have the time/or can't and then saying it's not for those who are selling items back and forth between friend's I don't see how that's a bad thing either, more teamwork toward a common goal, and if they're having fun, on a site they are actively playing together I don't see why that's a bad thing :/
Stargazer - March 13, 2021
	Aw! Sends hugs back Albion <3 Agreed. :) Thanks for the hug! Though to your request on a guide to all of what adds to/counts to Dailies they said there was alot more that counts to dailies but they said they wouldn't say all of it because the risk of someone finding another way to 'abuse' it so :/
Albion - March 13, 2021
	Sends Zavira a hug, I so agree over the Abuse comment and Shrine for low value. I decided to delete my old eggs to save server space rather than shrine. Someone asked for them for a hand game later on, so I gave them away in 20 batch lots. I didn't realise it was set up to generate an alert PER egg not per batch , so I lumbered the receiver with 1,400 alerts.( So much for my idea of trying to free up saving server space = Total Fail). If a system is set up and people use it they are not trying to abuse it, usually they just don't see the off spin consequence of their actions. ( Opps !!).
JetBlackSteel - March 13, 2021
	I honestly didn't rely on the barter tokens. I used them as a final push when I was running out of time. But I already spent a good amount of time doing dailies, shrine, quests and buying from the squishy shop. But all that usually couldn't get me third tier prize and I already spent several hours. I can't spend anymore time than that every day otherwise it's gonna severely impact my daily life. I usually try to cram it around bed time and my daughter's nap. If the merchant sales could be reduced in points or start at a minimum meaning anything under 100k wouldn't count or as someone else suggested don't allow non retired barter tokens to be used in shops I feel like that would be a better compromise
Stargazer - March 13, 2021
	But people probably didn't see it or think of it as "Abusing the system" either, they were just attempting to get all three rewards, yes it was easier, and yes they would ultimately get the dailies done in 5 mins if that, but the alternative is like 2-3 hours maybe longer depending on the person and their days and lives outside of Res. I did the food 500x for awhile then switched to tokens, BECAUSE I was spending 5-6 hours stalking shops to restock just to buy enough food to get 500x food each day to sell, so Tokens just became easier, yeah it was slower but easier then gathering 500x food (to me) but I never thought of it as abusing the system, because I had done it the original way which was sending pets out exploring, and even the shrines, for months when I was after certain colors of the Cetari. But that was 2-3 hours each day with the shrine's, which became a chore, I didn't want to do and was dreaded because it took so much time and was 1 item turn in at a time. To the point I can't even do shrine's anymore, I can't even look at them or want to do them which I know was because I did them for a long period of time for months at a time, but my point is doing all the stuff required for dailies is going to burn anyone out because it's all so repetitive, quests squish, weapons, ect, sending pets out (not as bad as the others as you dont have to actively sit there for hours) or shrines I couldn't sit there doing the same quests each day, and the shrine's each day for 2-3 hours each day just for a daily reward It might be worth it to some people but not for me. Res is becoming more a game I play in the bg and have open in a separate tab then actively play and check back once every so many hours, I used to invest in and take part in stocks but now that's out the door, and TU seems more difficult to acquire (But I also know you can get it through games, quests, ect) but I still feel its more difficult to acquire, or to even sell things anymore, as my opinion, not saying its fact. But I don't really see where it was hurting, tokens, or food, it's still actively on the site, and people are still actively playing it, an actively talking to other users. I don't see why its such a big deal, or why its made to be one. The dailies are difficult to unlock all three, I mean you can, but at hours and hours. An I agree it was a bit "too fast" to get all rewards in 5 mins with this method but then there needs to be some balancing. But I think its a bit harsh calling to "abusing the system" when probably most didn't see it as such, or their intent wasn't they were just trying to get their dailies done in a timely fashion (if they didnt have 2-3 hours to spend a day) or just to get their dailies, I doubt they had the intent to abuse the system with ill intent, because everytime I seen people in sb advertising for 500x of whatever item in the shops they were always happy, and cheerful, and teamwork between two players for a ultimate goal on a gaming site it was actually pretty cool to see them working for a common goal on a gaming site, which to me is the goal for people to play together/work together and just play the game.
Halloween - March 13, 2021
	Sorry, my typing was horrible. But, I still havent required a rainbow anything. Makes me think that, this dye kit will be the rarest thing in res. :((
Halloween - March 13, 2021
	Ouch. Res. I hope you can give us somthing ekse, everyone you take somthing away. Geeze.
Buzzard - March 13, 2021
	when i first started res i would always try to get dailies but i never knew a easy way was selling cheap food in merch so i would spent all day(8 hours +)trying to get dailies and only get to the end of my second
Jzbelle - March 13, 2021
	Ahhhh...yay more Rainbow pets? 0_0
Otachie - March 13, 2021
	I support some of the ideas here.I understand it maybe felt too easier, but some people like me get their tu from dailies.If the dailies will be that way and we no longer will be able to sell in merchants for dailies, at least the % that we get per each activity (NPC buying, shrining,treasure hinting, quests...) is more. Because right now i REALLY,REALLY should spend all day for the dailies. And i do not like this, because i do spend a lot of hours in Res and this feels like a betray to me. :(
Shark - March 13, 2021
	I think it was probably just a little more difficult to only have barter token merchant shop sales not count towards dailies which is why merchant sales were removed entirely. Again, I’m really hoping to see a revamp of the difficulty of dailies since it’s very possible to still spend hours doing quests and stuff and still not achieve the rewards. So hopefully those discussions will get rolling and we’ll see an update soon. Hopefully sooner than later since it takes so much effort and time currently to get them.
Trenthepunkid - March 13, 2021
	oof. I've given up on daily rewards because I only ever get the first one and halfway through the second one and usually only if there is an event going on that I'm very active in.
TheBernMan - March 13, 2021
	Just make the Barter Tokens count as Zero toward Daily rewards... only restocked items from shops/merchant shops should count. Daily rewards are hard enough when some of us have limited time to play.
Smuh - March 13, 2021
	Aa for "abusing barter tokens", I can freely admit I did that and possibly started it. I never thought of it as abuse because I can spend hours doing Kir Quests and Shrine crap, along with doing the mineral quests and still never hit the second reward. The fact that it's considered "abuse" to me is ridiculous when I can spend all that time doing a bunch of different things and the meter for the rewards goes up by maybe 10% if I'm lucky. Looks like another update that makes me less likely to spend time on here. Like the stock update that made it that the people who made money with stocks quit bothering with them.
Shark - March 13, 2021
	@ Kazin, I agree. That was something I suggested after the change was made when we were speculating whether it was intentional or a bug. But I have a feeling this change was inevitable anyways since selling food was still a little too easy.
Bowie - March 13, 2021
	If people were abusing barter tokens, perhaps only allowing barter tokens to be used for trades would make sense? (as in, not allow them to be sold in merchant shops since there really is no point in that anyway)
Albion - March 13, 2021
	Please, when the site is sorted out and settled for the staff satisfaction to operate will someone write a guide on what / how to use the daillies vs their values in a couple of reasonable time periods.( Say two hours or droping in over day when quests / creatu finish exploring multiple times / day ). Then mugs like me might be able to sort themselves out a play sequence. I think a bit of guidance is encouraging.
Shark - March 13, 2021
	Merchant shop sales no longer count towards daily rewards since it started being abused with exchange of barter tokens, which required no effort at all. At least when people would sell food for cheap, it required a little more effort than exchanging barter tokens. It was just a fatal flaw in the system :( Now, in my opinion, I think dailies are a little too difficult for the reward at the end, so I have initiated a conversation for re-balancing the daily rewards.
Killua - March 13, 2021
	I support this update, because it was definitely too easy for people to get their dailies. Some people were just selling around 5tu barter tokens, and while some people actually needed cheap food for their food pens, I think that most people were just trading around food. Although I do agree that it has become too hard, so some of the other daily activities should give you more (quests, shrine, NPC shop purchases, etc).
Noir - March 13, 2021
	Soooo what do we do then? =/
Bowie - March 13, 2021
	I feel like the removal of Credits already impacted the availability of some of these items enough, as realistically I have only gotten 150 Relking Coins so far, meaning items that used to be available for purchase for credits (which are often the third tier daily rewards) are getting scarcer and scarcer, costing more and more, and soon no one will be able to buy them - but if that's the goal, what's the point? I'm just confused by this decision, I guess.
Silverstream94 - March 13, 2021
	I get that the daily rewards are supposed to be gotten through work; But literally the only way I have ever been able to get even up to the second tier, is through purchasing from shops. This still took me at least 2 hours. I do not support this update.
Lolli - March 13, 2021
	I do think the way it was before allowed us to unfairly game the system by getting the final rewards in just minutes but this needs to be replaced with more consistent, easy ways to build up the percentages. The first 2 rewards of food and an extra hatch are worth about 20k and 200k respectively, so the only real incentive for most people to do the daily rewards is the final one. There have been days I spend hours on the site shrining, doing quests, participating in events, and I still can never reach the final daily. I can only remember getting the final daily without merchants on ~5 occasions. I guess more generally, I just don't see the final reward being more accessible as a problem. People have been using the merchants for months and the prices of the beans, trance potions, and RMPs remained stable, (if not higher than when they were CS only). In periods when the site is slower, selling these items is the only way some of us make tu and that in turn fuels the site economy as a whole because I can make more purchases.
Bowie - March 13, 2021
	I'm not sure this is going to help the economy of Res at all, people are no longer going to be bothering stocking items or buying items as much I'd think. It's already hard enough to make daily rewards for me... and I already almost never filled my daily reward bar to the second reward simply because I don't have time to spend here clicking and clicking away at things...
Crow - March 13, 2021
	I feel like this update makes sense and surprised it didn't happen sooner. The third tier for daily rewards is suppose to be hard to get to, that's why the prize is so good. I get that some people are busy and can't play for more than an hour, but for me, I don't think an hour and a half is a lot of time to spend on a site. And using merchant shops was too easy to get the third teir. You only need to sell 200-300 items per day, and that's easy to obtain in 20-30 minutes. If you spend more time on this site and do other activities like picking up eggs (while that feature is still around) and doing all the daily activities, that should at least get you to 2nd tier. Filling collections can give a lot of points too, as well as buying from npc shops. Like Otachie said below, you can also use do the shrines to go towards daily rewards. Maybe you won't be able to get the daily rewards third tier every day, but you should be able to get it sometimes.
Albion - March 13, 2021
	@ Rumor's comment , bit harsh for some I suspect : " The purpose of dailies is meant to reward players who spend all day on the site," ~ I rarely manage to finish the 3 levels of daily doing quests / daillies / feeding / reading / health / was buying food off others but its only over ten hours. Not to sure what would happen if I was on a library computer with restricted time.
Otachie - March 13, 2021
	and i totally support Shaefu. i have bought around 40k food for the dailies, i bought themfor 7-10k per food, because i dont have the time buying them one by one. and now i have so much food that i just own for almost nothing...
Otachie - March 13, 2021
	i support, rainofStart, we maybe need more % for each activity. So that 2 hours are enough for a day.
Shaefu - March 13, 2021
	To Rumor, I mean most games give you login-prices every day ... like money or items. ONLY WHEN YOU LOG IN And if you want everyone to spend more than two hours a day, you better start paying us as "Rescreatu"-players. Every single piece of food I've put into my merchant-shop has been bought from either other players' merchants or the npc-shop. So why would that not be fair, if I put effort into collecting the food and just want to sell it. Like every fourth day or so I spend 2 hours into buying more than 1000 pieces of food from shops, which eventually gets me to the daily And then for 2-3 days I sell the food in the merchant (it's called kind of"business") AND STILL PLAY FOR AN HOUR AT LEAST . And there are so many players, that are way more devoted to the game than me .... so your comment is pure insult to them) And as for the last part of your comment : I do get the main problem (I really do) , but had the problem been explained first and had we, the players, been asked for ways to make it "fairer", we would have given some opinions. But no one was ever asked, they just cut it off like that (I mean, it's their game and their right ... but still)
RainofStars - March 13, 2021
	Suggestions: Could we adjust the shrines so that you are a smidge more likely to receive a point toward daily rewards for every egg/item/creatu you throw in? With the eggs at least, it seems very hit or miss for me. And also adjust quests so that you are guaranteed at least one percentage point toward dailies for every quest you complete? What Shaefu mentioned below with the quests not awarding many daily points doesn't seem fair. Thanks.
Setzer - March 13, 2021
	Super hype for the rainbow creatu coming up!! Crossing my fingers for jahra ;v;
Otachie - March 13, 2021
	I think the bar should move faster, because right now it really doesn't moves a lot. I'm saying this, because 1 blessings takes me 10 minutes, 12 blessings are 2 hours and I wasn't able to get to the second reward I think. As for the cash shop items, yes, they are cash shop, but aren't giving us so much Tu. At least for me, I usually sell the rewards I get so I buy colored pets, art or something I want. And they aren't cheap. Takes days from getting dailies to fulfil what I want.
Juniper - March 13, 2021
	It was already hard to get all the dailies, especially for people who can't spend every waking hour on here...
Ryu28000 - March 13, 2021
	I have a hard enough time simply trying to fill my bar just a teeny bit and now this little activity no longer amounts to anything? Wowzers. Oh well. Whatev's I never filled it to any measurable amount anyways so..it doesn't really matter for me.
matt - March 13, 2021
	Dailies are “difficult” but the reward at the end is a high amount of TU, or an item that literally costs REAL MONEY. The site is just giving these items away for FREE basically to hundreds of players a day. The purpose of dailies is meant to reward players who spend all day on the site, not people who are buying and selling the same items back and forth with their friends. No one is ASKING or TELLING you to do dailies - the more you play the better the reward. If you guys have some better ideas on how to make dailies “easier” the staff may be more likely to take those to mind than the negative comments on here :)
Shaefu - March 13, 2021
	The update on the dailies is pointless. I get that we fill the daily-bar way too quickly that way. But this doesn't mean that we play the game less. I still regularly spend around hour and half in the game ... but the day before yesterday I had to spend 3 and half hours in the game to fill the daily bar (I don't always have that time on my hands). And yesterday after the new update, I did 10 Food quests and only got up by 2%, like seriously?!?! Plus even if we sell food in the merchant, we would still have had to spend the time (and/or money) to buy all this food, or do you think it's coming from nowhere That update actually made me want to play the game less, just cause it's annoying and slightly unfair.
Spooky - March 13, 2021
	Rip. Sad to say, not my favorite update. I work a lot, so it was great to be able to have my shop to help out with the dailies.:c
Vallibite - March 13, 2021
	Very bad move on removing merchant sales from daily rewards...
Otachie - March 13, 2021
	For Ty's shop, yes. People with fast Internet buy dyes fast, Xerxes. As for the dailies, I'm also not okay for it now. I hope the bar at least fills faster. The last time I made 12 blessings and it STILL WASN'T ENOUGHT for the dailies. Some people do not have time or do not want to waste their time for only the dailies. I personally like to chat more in the sb.
XerxesTexasToast - March 13, 2021
	Do non-purchase daily activities put more progress in the bar? Also I'm having a hard time seeing Ty's shop get stocked, ever. Are people just that fast?
Steampunk - March 13, 2021
	So you made dailies easier to get them without spending hours on site?
Albion - March 13, 2021
	Merchant Shop sales and purchases no longer count towards daily rewards. ~ what a shame.
