Please allow CGIM to get rewards from Evil Trees

[solemn meadow]

Evil tree reward percentage is based on personal contribution, not what other people are doing so I don't really understand why we're locked out of rewards when someone else tags it.

And if it's because someone can help you chop the kindling to get to the main tree then arguably the xp from chopping the main tree and burning the kindling is the benefit you're getting from other people, but that's not locked out? It's a bit odd.

Not to mention people will come and tag the tree and leave just so I can't get rewards.

Editing to add after reading some of the discussions on reddit: I'm talking about the original Evil Tree D&D, not wildy flash events.

At the very least please remove the chat spam that I won't get rewards. I get it, someone else is chopping or trolling or even just misclicked, but I don't need that message every 30s for the rest of the tree 🥲

I prefer CGIM to keep the purity it currently has. to my mind, the current restrictions shouldn't be expanded because that's precisely what normal GIM is there for

[solemn meadow]

Purity is an odd word when we get the xp anyway, just not the rewards? I don't get what's "pure" about that. Don't get me wrong, I like the restrictive nature of CGIM, I'm totally for it where it makes sense, this just is one of the cases where it doesn't make sense given we already get the xp imo

Evil tree rewards are based off of your own contribution. That's it, so that should be within the parameters of CGIM. If evil trees are considered to have other people affecting then why can we do them in the first place

so, given it's clearly been something which has been considered pre-release (the restrictions are in place), it doesn't make sense to amend the restrictions imo - they loosely fit the 'group only benefit' aspect

I can see restrictions being loosened when it's just something which hadn't been considered (e.g. group storage items), but everything else should be static on a permanent basis imo

[solemn meadow]

So everything is just correct the first time, there's no way it could've been barely considered because it's such ancient content?

I can't agree with that, I agree that the parameters have been set and they make a ton of sense but I don't agree that this has been set to properly match those parameters

But that's what the suggestions threads are for, I'm just hoping it's reconsidered

[proud karma]

fwiw I don't disagree with the suggestion per se. Normal ironman mode has been damaged almost beyond repair by bad decisions to loosen restrictions over the years, and so it's better to draw a line in the sand now and just say restrictions won't be loosened full stop.

[solemn meadow]

I kind of see where you're coming from but I honestly don't think that's a good enough reason. I think a better solution would be to draw the line and actually stick to that line instead of leaving grey areas, like this weird split where evil tree xp isn't limited but rewards are

If that's the line they want to draw then just lock cgim out of evil trees altogether, don't let us start one then get trolled
