Changing existing code mid-process it bad? What?
No. Bugfixes happen all the time, this would just be changing one or two numbers in the code, maybe they'd have to take the game down for 5 minutes. There is simply no chance that it would 'cause a major fault and leave the game unplayable'. I'm studying software right now so I know how coding and servers work.
You said the cash prize was bad, but when I was #1 in the contest yesterday before the update it was the most useful part of the prize, maybe this was because I'm not level 40, but I got some shitty trousers and a few kobans that weren't too useful for me, the 20k cash was really useful.
the fact is almost all the complaints have been made before anyone has even looked for the information, let alone given the game a chance to settle.
I'm scouring even the French version of the forums for an answer to most of my questions, the game developers have never acknowledged how useless the contest prize is now, so I thought it bring it to their attention.
Brighten up mate, you can attack my post all you want, even on a personal level, but in the end this is an erotic farmville and it's really not worth getting your panties in a twist about.
Generally in arguing with you I sensed that you're using some sort of high-horse tactics to dissuade me from defending myself, the whole point you made about code changing was blatantly bad arguing. You essentially said: 'no changes can be made if the problem isn't game breaking, because it would break the game... I know this, but I won't tell you why or how; just believe me!' which is especially stupid because this IS the thread of the discussion about the update..
