    STOP GIFTING FUEL! (+ bonus rant!)

    So if RL is going to be like this and take away most of our gifting because of a small group of offenders, then I ask you all to stop gifting fuel. If we can only receive 10 gifts a day, I would rather them all be golden tickets at the very least. From now on I won't be gifting any fuel to anyone, sorry guys. Tickets are more important and we all know that. Fuel is a bonus.

    I wish there were other ways to combat this, but I'm out of ideas. It really sucks that RL thinks things like this are the main problems in the game, when no one really cares about this. In fact, the nerf angers us more than if it were just being exploited like before. At this point, all the good players have thousands of tickets, and it doesn't matter. If I want to spend 100 tickets on one race to beat you, I will. If they want to return competitive balance, limit the max number of showdowns at a time, or change the matchmaking to match up with players within your rank on the LB (maybe within 1000 or so). Although, FIXING THE LEADERBOARDS first would help.

    RL, no one cares if people are racking up golden tickets. We care about the game that we have come to love keeping its integrity, which is held deep within the list you call a LEADERBOARD. Bunker stats aren't even kept past each season, so who even knows/remembers/cares who made legends every time. What shows up is our ranks on the global boards, which aren't even close to being correct right now. Also, the slot machine has been broken for weeks and you guys are all worried about us having too many gifts. It's quite pathetic really.

    Sorry for the tangent, but it needs to be said. I really wish the devs would listen to us. We are the ones that play your game, and our voice is telling you what we want, yet you keep giving us what YOU want. Pretty soon we'll all just stop playing if this continues. And I'll tell ya, if I stop playing, that's pretty sad, because I don't give up on things easy, especially if I am heavily invested in them, but this has gone too far and I'm pretty close to saying PEACE.

    Please and thank you.

    Well said justin and good idea about gifting only tickets
    I'm also not far from stop playing since nothing works anymore and they just fix what's important only for them, not for the players.
    And why not we all go on the stores to give as low ranking as they care about us...!?!

    .....+1 !!!!

    Well said Justin, I agree as I'm starting to feel the same as well, which is a shame as I haven't been here as long as you but I can't ignore all the things that aren't working properly anymore.....Things used to be spot-on and running smooth when I started playing, what the hell happened, where's the support gone, we haven't stopped supporting them and their games !?!?


    I like your idea to ONLY Gift Tickets from now on, hopefully it will help a bit.....So I'm going to do the same.....Sad that it has to come to THIS though !!

    This is a tough one. It's not just about fuel. It's about coins too. Is there reason to think that the lighter load of what is sent will still not overwhelm their server? I thought the problem was that gifts are being sent and not claimed on the other end, and the build up of unclaimed gifts is causing issues.

    I say just gift to your friends who currently rank at 24 or above in the bunker. Their ranking means that they're actually playing. (Rank 25 or not being on the list means they're not playing?) This way everyone is only gifting (tickets and fuel) to those who are participating in the game. Agree/disagree?

    I agree that losing out on the coins sucks, but with 10 gifts max a day you are looking at 10K coins, and if the gifts you receive are all tickets and you get them fast enough, you will still get the coins. I personally just wish it was back to the way it was in the beginning. They can manually clear out boxes like they had been doing and it would work fine.

    I'm guessing it would be too much to ask the devs to include info about the last time one of our friends sent us a gift. We could clean up our own lists by eliminating friends who don't gift. Why send out gifts to people who are not playing and/or gifting?

    Having thought about it more since my post above, I think I'll only gift tickets to all friends with bunker status of 22 and above, and gift fuel to that same group every other day or something.

    Being able to receive only 10 makes pointless to know when and if someone gifted me anything...

    I too stopped gifting fuel a long time ago; its simply not as valuable a gift, IMO, andits a pain to doube-gift the entire friends list.

    That being said, i really amhaving a hard time getting reinterested in the bunker; not sure how much i will play it. But even if i dont, gifting tickets is still better, and what i will do.
