Limit100

[DarekK]

All good for G! on the occasion of the 7th birthday.

We are looking forward to the 7.0 version with interest but also with great fear that these birthdays will not be celebrated with us as the last one.

Like many other "old" players despite having CBM, I was ready to pay for a gold subscription.
Maybe I don't buy green for real money but G! has income from me. Yes or no?
So why suddenly after 6 years of playing, after buying thousands of green extra slots in factories, are they suddenly going to stop writing products for me? We have 4 slots in six factories, I get lollipops, beds, and 96 blankets in 48 hours ...

The introduction of a 100 limit for me means robbing me of everything that is in the game to win.
Secondly, while waiting two years for the next levels of the game, I did not close any collections to collect the exp, which you have already been blocking. I already have hundreds of all collections. Entering a 100 limit for me means that I will not get any better, no new drop from the plane, buildings, prizes, anything. I will not mention the collected fuel for months and years ....

Maybe you just do not want people to play this game for a long time and enjoy it?

The point is: Which is the real reason to enter the limit100 in the game???
What improvements does it bring??
Game Insight staff works tirelessly to improve the game, right?
This maneuver will be like shooting oneself in the feet-the great abandonment of mass by the loyal players (faithful = paying)

I am resentful that you want to rob the most faithful players in one move ....
Only a reasonable solution, if it's necessary for business reasons, is to enter the limit100, with the simultaneous exemption of subscribers from this limit.

Keep calm and enjoy flying.

You are 100% right.
Well said!!!

Tbh, i have the limit so I dont care about the limit.
The real problem is, as I said to GI support months ago, we the players dont play in the same room. Some players have the limit some players dont.
If GI wants the game more balance and more fair, clearly they have 2 options : 1) impose the limit to all players, or 2) remove it. Thats simple. This is not the ideal situation.

Edit:
Personally, i dont like the limit. Remove it and let all the players happy.

Highend players are always going to lose.
Make it a more intelligent limit of 400 or 500. Then you can fly alliance flights without losing the flights items that drop!
Disgree about subscription to get more. Penalises people who cant pay.
Why not extra warehouse with extra storage buyable with greens, gold or silver.

THIS!! 500 limit/1.000 limit and I think we should have ‘a deal’. I think there is a huge gap between newer and older aswell because of s3 planes. Older players will keep finding a way to maintain their numbers and it won’t change ANY gap between the 2 groups. Making the limit a bit higher, might make the newer people grow to the same level as older ones!

I think an anti-limit campaign on more wide channels is needed. Perhaps we could all massively comment on posts from the official AC FB page, Instagram and twitter?
If any of our English native speakers would write a standard text, explaining why shouldn't be a limit at all, we could all copy and paste it on those media. Intensively.

Agree 100% this will cause resentment within the players towards GI, changing conditions half way through! It is like changing the rules football (soccer) so you can have a squad of 15!!
Why take when you can add more to the game to make it more enjoyable. It is not as if it causing storage problems on a server as it is only a no in a database! I know I have worked with software companies for many years!

I must say that youre one of the unique players that has done even more than the average veteran, so it's interesting getting your perspective and seeing how it would affect you.....and in your scenario, I completely agree. A limit at this point wouldn't encourage you to excel at all....because youre already at the top! The experience wouldn't possibly get better for you, so you have everything to lose, which I admit is frustrating. However, there are a couple things to note about all of this:
1) GI repeatedly has stated that the limitless inventory is not profitable for them. I have no idea why (and would love to see the business case supporting this), but that's their claim and I will give them the benefit of the doubt. They want a limit, fine. However, make the limit a compromise for everyone....new players and old. I think 1000 is ideal, but a compromise of 500 is more than fair, as @Madge59230 suggested.
2) For the vets who have tons of items already, you have every right to leave the game with an imposed limit, but you could also show your versatility as a veteran player to adapt to the changes and change your playing style as need be. It very well may be the challenge that you wanted, since going beyond lv 80 really isn't anything enticing.
Bottom Line is that those who need to know about our gripe with this stupid 100 item limit already knows about it; I'm sure Ivan has not kept such a juicy secret all to himself. However, nothing has been done about it, and they don't appear to be willing to even compromise where the limit sits. I dont expect much budging from them, but I will always show up at the protest rally with my picket sign to support the removal of this limit.

There're several other game balance changes on the way along the lines of the easier weekly alliance mission, e.g. changes you'll probably like, but those can't be done on the fly, so they're coming at a later date, and 7.0 update so far looks like the one that will get them. Will it be the time for a major change like inventory limit, too? It might be, because 7.0 and the rest of this year's planned updates is as close to Airport City sequel game as you get without the hassle of actually having a completely new game, and the new game means new rules.

Ivan hints at the fact there may be a limit change with 7.0, which is presumably when the limit is being applied to everyone. So it might go up at the same time.
From the sounds of it they are doing a MAJOR release and that might include a complete overhaul of balance where having the limit will be less of an impact, but will prevent people from buying factories really early on and then stock piling so there is little point in even having the items as a requirement. I suspect I am being naive, but you never know. I will also say it's a lot easier for me to try and see the positive as I am currently with the limit.

You would hope that GI addresses the issues around people having spent a lot of factories either with balance changes or by giving the players who have them something to "sweeten the deal"

Another consequence of the limit is making QL hunting far more difficult... just realized that

It also penalises windows users since they don't have subscriptions.

An even better reason why it cant be done that way!

 

[crescent moon (RIP)]

It also penalises windows users since they don't have subscriptions.

And even if we did have subscriiptions, I wouldn't pay $$ for something to give me back something I've already paid $$ to have. I was considering the gold (or at least silver) subscription if they ever came to windows, but I certainly won't when the 100 limit is imposed.

 

[Navigata07]

What I hope doesnt happen is a mass exodus of vets and then after they have left, they lift the limit to try and undo the damage. I just want to know the reason and their claim for validity. I can see how they tie the limit to increasing the difficulty, but they strictly claim lack of profitability. That means they tied the inventory all the way to their net gain; quite impressive to say the least

me neither

 

[Ddave1]

Absolutely 100% agree

I do not for one minute believe them when they say it’s for game balance.

Why allow me to have 6 buildings that produce flight items - blankets/pills/FC etc and allow me to speed greens to increase production and then limit the ability to keep them to 100.

I did pay for a gold subscription last month as GI had been doing so well with the game - this limit would be a kick in the teeth.

The only thing I can say is that Ivan said in a post that they have been looking at this for a long time and no one on the team could agree, maybe if they gave us the real reason and asked opinions of players they may get a workable answer.

 

[Marve]

Good to see many points of view of all players but we can´t work with something we are not sure like the Buildings that produce item. G! can introduce a new category to this items with no warehouse limit? Yes, they can. Items you already have Ivan told that won't be lost. You will use all of them but can't store another while you are up the limit.

About new levels maybe G! want more challenge for 'old' players imposing a limit you must fly for more item and not just use what you already have in your warehouse. Leveling up for 'old players' is easy. If GI launch 10 new levels Darekk could reach in some hours (it´s too much collection to collect to say minutes but he can). Maybe I can reach it too.

I remember when start to play AC many years ago one of the best things I liked is we play togheter, helping each other, and not fighting for some advantage. It was fun when we did our strategy, stockpile all item we need and have a day of crazy flights to have some adventure buildings. Many friends congrats with your goal.

The alliance system change it a lot. Cheaters increased. Today you get adventure buildings means you flew a lot and reach a better position on ranking. No congratulations anymore. Maybe GI thought that the limit is a way to stop cheaters and turn rankings more competitive. I don't think so. Cheaters will find a way. "Old' players will fly as much as possible while have resources and new players will see.

GI must check what we (customers) want for the game and than decide about the limit. Yes or No? 100? 500? 1000?

 

[Xilikon]

I may have a crazy idea but have the limit scale with levels, so 100 to start and add 5 per level up to 500 at 80, same as fuel level. I believe a limit of 500 is a reasonable compromise (even 300 would be good for me).

We need to also consider factories producing flight items, why allow to build 6 and buy extra slots just to be hit with the limit of 100, thus making extra slots a big waste of greens. I didn’t buy extra slots luckily but I do understand the gripe of those who bought slots like OP.
