Genuinely, HOW do people think this update is good in any way? It DOES NOT make botting harder at all. Bots can still grind gems and convert them into Byte Coins, so nothing really changes for them. The ONLY ones who actually suffer are F2P players who have a life outside the game.
All this update does is force players to play in a specific, narrow way. It takes away freedom and creativity, making the game unpleasant. The whole point of Pixel Worlds was always to be a free and creative sandbox where the economy was decided by the players, not by strict, punishing mechanics. This update spits on that legacy. With all this new strictness and unappealing design, the game could potentially lose a decent amount of players.
I cannot play 24/7 like those unemployed, lifeless Discord moderators who are praising this update. With the little free time I have, it is already hard to make any kind of profit. And to the people saying "this only affects P2W players"... HOW exactly? They can just buy both gems and BC anyway. They are completely unaffected. This update does not make things harder for them at all.
All it really does is hurt F2P players like me who CANNOT grind 24/7. It punishes casual players while doing nothing to stop bots or the rich.
This update is the second death of Pixel Worlds.
As an OG player, im more than dissapointed...
