There isnt going to be a good justification for "not releasing" forever; that just pisses people off But there are excellent business justifications for "not releasing for X months or more", and I completely back them up to that point. Tracks are what people want, so they put them at the top of the bunker rewards to get you to play... they spread them across all aspects of the game to get you to do everything... and they offer them in events to make you play. Nobody would do all the insane event grinding that Frontier makes their money from if they knew the track rewards were going to be available/winnable right after the event in any form (thats the business justification). Its proper respect to the people who play the events that they have SOME track benefit for their effort, and good incentive for the slackers that there be SOME penalty for those who dont go through the effort.

Whats a good number for X in "not releasing for X months or more"? I would be fine with 3-6 months, personally. (you mileage may vary)

All of that being said.... RL is TOTALLY out of line right now and deserve every bad comment they get because:

- They have tracks from events a year+ ago that are still unavailable. Thats too long, and it makes people leave in frustration (bad business decision).

- They have no clear policy for track distribution for the game. When the "X" wait time has expired for a track, EVERY track needs to promptly be made available in the game in some way. They might put them in the store for gems, they might put them on the loot wheel, or the slot machine, etc.... but EVERY old released track MUST be winnable in the game in some way at all times (ie in the game forever), and that way be announced to the community. To do anything else is just hurting their business. (PS: I prefer that you have to earn them instead of paying gems to not reward resource hackers).

- RL has a new (related) bad business decision..... MC Event tracks you dont get because its a random reward. Few things can make you want to leave a game more than doing all the work to be the best and still not get the reward.... coupled with the previous two points the players all know they might not get the track for a year or more, which makes it an AMAZINGLY BAD business decision.

All of the above is easily fixable by RL.... the fact that they havent fixed it over the last couple of years is simply mind-blowing to me.

(Which is why this poll is dumb. RL needs to stop asking which tracks we want ... and just go make sure ALL become available in some way)

Excellent.

I think until less people leave, and more come, RL gains.
Anger of (relatively) few people vs. "wow-effect" of newcomers.
Resource saving and diminishing patience vs. money scattering and curiosity of new players.
Vicious circle.
It is all about the money.

G'day,

I'd really like to be able to finish the Data Cube mission and to do so, I need the ROAD TO RUIN track! Of course, I'd also like access to all the other tracks that are now hidden by the fact that the time portal is no longer open.

Snap I only need road to ruin to complete egg man outfit. I didn't realise once the slot machine this past level 17 or 18 it wouldn't appear on there again. My slot machine is now level 28

Also I've been wasting chips one in the bunker because again I didn't realise that by buying the tracks in there once I get to the track for 55000 chips it's road to ruin!

Or release it to buy, I may even pay real money for it!

[xUBILYNXrLIARSx]

everyone should be able to get them all!

that said, being more objective to the thread: Indigenous Village, Treachery are the ones i'm missing (aka that i've been ripped off by cheaters that you never battle hard enough)
