There are quite a few people here that have been with the game non-stop since the day it opened, some here perhaps since the entire site itself was in its infancy. Personally I've stepped away from the game for probably two and a half years total, but I was here when it started and did have a reasonably powerful team when it crashed.
The reset was without warning so people couldn't save bios or have even a final tournament to end the game right, or take pics of where your team was after their last fight.
Its not like the group is standing up and screaming hey I want my exp, armor, weaponry, bios, and logs returned.
You know the stuff that would take the poor programmer tons of time to do, and most likely would be completely impossible.
No they are asking if it would be possible just to speed up a normal event in the game so they can get a few alts that would make this whole reset just a little more palitable for them. Honestly its probably the smallest thing that could be asked for.
Its also probably something that can be done in one or two key strokes.
Does it effect the game and give people a unfair advantage over others no, Does it hurt anyone in even the slightest way...no, unless you get off on knowing that some player is using a alt that they completely hate because they don't really have a better option.
The only thing that it really does is make some of the players that have dedicated a lot of time to this game over the past five years just a little happier.
So even if it is trivia and just a small single color picture if increasing the speed of the rotation till the entire list has been cycled through makes people happy where is the harm in that.
Also some of the alts in the list aren't completely trademarked figures, but ones that people have actually spent weeks on making. I know if either of my customs were non-Decepticon alts I would be very upset.
This would be more a minor reward for those that have stuck around in spite of this reset
You should save your energy for a fight that really means something.
