Nope I like the ability of advancing plant growth. Something so minor as that is related to a limited supply item. Just when it comes to game balance. Things like this shows how little they know about the world compared to the constant players knowledge.
Black Rock has been also pounded for a use. This plant growth pump would of been perfect for it. Being it is blackrock there could be some destruction mixed in.Not like the mining of blackrock has no pupose but to mine less of the desired gems.
Complaining on the same subject and pointing out us guys are complaining, nice. Just pointing out a little more thought could of been put into then killing two birds with one stone.
Like you complained the Blue Crystal could of went to the rebuilt while sticking to their storyline point. Crystals could of been dropped at the future healer building in New Mag. Each drop random raff chance. Number of items in the shop would of been title with donating characters name and a thx. Sure other buildings could have related raffle chance donations for chance to leave your characters mark.
We always press for finnishing present/past content promise without marking a date on next years calendar. Really the last related Black Rock event was nothing more then a pack on scripter backs with very useful rewards. If this plan was brought up to experienced (HONEST) players they would of gotten an ear full.
Black Rock is around and the Blue Crystal will be gone. Long after the last Blue is burned towards plant efforts, planting will still be going on. There will be plants around when they pull the plug that haven't reached their 8th seed.
Maybe we will get new content bringing back the blue crystal that ties the past and present story lines.
