Well....
You're right, I don't like the answer.
But, I don't like the devs' answer...and prefer your honest communication regarding the issue.
With all the many issues you've handled just in Wartune (and I think I understand you handle more than just Wartune for moderation), I'm totally floored to hear this is the only one ever where you've gotten a hard "no"...and then, since there must be reason to make this such an exceptional example, you're given none of that reasoning.
As a player, I can only hope you caught someone on a bad day. I won't presume you misunderstood, because I'm guessing you understood perfectly.
Maybe they meant to add an "at this time," and it was simple omission.
Maybe, if the request reaches the same someone on a better day, or another someone, it might get a fairer hearing another time...even though I understand you also have to pick your battles, and there are usually real and pressing issues that come before this.
The top tier of Mount Whips now in Hot Events rewards seems to be 1500.
So, telling us for a far greater number (when you're double-clicking for literally hours, 500 more is FAR greater, and mount whips get used singly with single-clicks in the event room) in this event to max rewards returns, we're not going to be able to get a simple feature like this on an item is hogwash.
At that point, why have this item at all? (And how much "Fun" is it?)
And, to that, I'll also say there are spenders...spenders on the Kabam S14 cluster whom I've seen, where they have a discussion among 3-5 players and get the whole server to max out Server rewards using spend on a given day. People who DO spend hundreds a week much of the time. And making it annoying and inconvenient for them to get these rewards has tempered Server use of this event...just look at stats and you'll see we don't max out Rave anymore, nothing near it, and used to do every time based on spend.
If your devs really need proof, go to game history, those stats should be very clear and speak eloquently to how this simple item is costing them a ton.
But, hey, it's their game. Literally. If they don't want that abundant amount of money, that's their choice...people make choices.
Again, if any of this bears a tart stench in reply, it's certainly not directed to the Forum or its staff for giving us the respect we deserve in getting an honest answer.
(Not to mention a place to air our views forcefully at times, whether they agree or disagree personally.)
We don't all always get the answers we want to hear, but best to get the ones we need to hear.
And, I personally appreciate your support on this and so many issues, as the game and the players are all better off for how you do what you do.
Perhaps, on some "better day," you might still present this one again...or, even if they've said no, make mention again the issue continues to arise on the forums...or whatever might make sense to achieve what should really be a trivial programming adjustment on their end. With this already in many items, and being added to new items all the time, perhaps they'll see fit to cut-and-paste what is probably not ridiculous amounts of code to fix this.
The only logical reason I can see for a firm "no" is that if we're asking for this one, there will be a next, and a next, and they want to stop that somewhere. To that, I think as a player there *should* always be the ability to discuss the "next time," and, if nothing else, that's what a forum allows as a first filter, without which (the forum) we're all lesser for its loss.
