    @thenamesdomino You better tread lightly good sir. We have lost countless awesome features, been promised something better, only to never have it delivered. This player base is sick and tired of being lied to and jacked around, so if you are going to say this, you need to personally make sure that there is a follow through.

    DQ system anyone? Exactly. Now this, with ZERO warning? You couldn't put it in your patch notes? Give us a week or two heads up? Wait until the new event was ready before removing this?

    Why did this need to be removed for new events? This smells a lot like cow fecal matter.

    Seriously why didn't they mention this in the patch notes? @thenamesdomino @sylenthunder
    Because the patch notes only show what Wanmei tells PWE to post. If Wanmei didn't pass the information along, then they didn't know to put it in the patch notes.

    I'm really sad to see this go. I was about to use it to level my SB.​​

    Now that domino says its for events they are working on, he needs to deliver, have these events be even better, or he will forever lose this community and be another name in a long list of failed cm since frankie

    Not surprised if that happens.

    @thenamesdomino if you simply removed it and there's nothing else to replace it or new events or wtv, please tell us the harsh truth... We are tired of getting things removed with the promise of something equal or better and never getting it delivered.
    This is seriously not a big deal for me personally but if the function is removed and nothing will replace it just tell us the harsh truth, that has always been the problem with PWE and PWI, we've always been lied to. It's not the fact things get removed but the part about being lied to...
    By saying we'll get new events you are making a promise, break it and you'll see how we lose faith in you quickly like we did with previous CMs

    I think i speak for everyone when I say we don't want to lose you, so, don't lose us by making empty promises...

    With that said, I'm gonna take your word for it for now.

    Wow, this is a slap in the face for players, why would they care it was free hence it could be removed at any time without any warning because they could not give a ****... this game.. I am surprised why people still play it (this includes me as well)

    this quick removal i think has to do part with the new pills they gave out. 3x more exp from those pills, and people thought that would create client instability (just like the +11, +12 orbs at one time).

    I doubt there will be a new feature giving similar reward in terms of experience and items. For now let's just make peace with this new change, because as with all things pwi, it won't really come back.​​

    It's permanent. We've seen this this a number of times over the years. Then PWI promises something else in its place... that usually never pans out or is garbage. Say hello to new "events" as domino likes to call them that will give crummy stuff like 10 Dew of Star protections or fashion that expires in 10 days.

    Next thing to go sometime in the future IMO is the free rewards for logging in daily. Say bye to the squad signets, bloods, pots etc.​​

    Why not just listen to the players pwi and just put the feature back or at least keep it in the game until the 'planned new events' are ready? :/ we're sick of having everything useful and free suddenly taken away..

    Considering the title of this thread, being "Invite a friend" you cannot really blame PWI for removing this feature.

    The feature wasn't called the
    "Let me make 20+ alts and befriend them all, log them in only when I can send five of them a day an invite so I get five Invitation Scrolls and maybe an occasional friend on my friend's list"
    feature.

    PWI gives us something good, the majority of the playerbase abuses it, and PWI takes away.

    Look at it from pwi's point of view. They would rather have 1 person logging in 20 alts, leveling them, putting on gear, charms, other stuff and leave it afk than have a new/old player log in every 1~8 months to check up on the game once.

    An active player with alts might even invest time/money into their alts. You do need to get your alts to be at least 90+ non rb i think. That is a significant time investment. Not everyone got 20+ pill babies popping out.​​

    No warning was given.
    Fine, remove something that was very useful to many players, but at least make sure you give out something in return for imposing this unpleasant 'surprise" on us.

    Well...... people will just have to level stuff without it like in the past. But I'm honestly sad to see it gone because it was helpful, especially for my sky levels.

    I understand that your hand are relatively tied whenever it comes to anything useful or helpful for the community, but you really gotta do better than the "we are working on something" generic response, people really hate that. I still do not understand why PW in general loves to act so secretly. The playerbase is asking (been asking for years) for a much much higher level of transparency and the staff doesn't really seem to understand the hints everyone is saying, so I am saying it explicitly. Hell a simple sticky post on the forums could solve all the bs. Could have the following simple format that someone updates once a week or something:

    What we are currently working on:

    What we plan on working on soon:

    What we plan on working on down the road:

    Current errors/bug and suggestions we are aware of and trying to fix:​​

    But why? How did it interfere with events? You going to recycle the rewards from it into said events?

    Hopefully they are not timed events seeing as how you guys screwed over half of dawn glory with that ridiculous time change. Haven't been able to do an event since.
