I will spend some of my last 4 HC with this comment, but I'm increasingly convinced it doesn't matter anymore and I will explain why:
-The cut in production is counter-productive and has a severe penalty on user engagement - myself included;
-I have serious doubts any admin will read this, and I'm completely aware that I'm writing this for my peer players to read. This is a side effect of a somehow despotic rule, which has the potential to ultimately kill the game;
-There is no substantial improvement in quality or gameplay that justifies the investment in terms of time and money. And, btw, typos still abound...
Overall, the time spent playing Xcraft is becoming increasingly unsatisfying. If this trend continues I will leave the game for good - this is not a threat, but rather the normal reaction of a player that doesn't feel respected and is loosing interest. The admins do not care about the users, and either they reverse the trend, or they will be at a loss.
