New tell spam problem lately

[Bearded]

Not really sure why they are protesting about the update which is scheduled for later in October - so the Devs should produce content and then sit on it until next year? or maybe they are more upset that there is a totally even footing on the new housing wards instead of them being FC only?

They aren't protesting against anything. It's just the fake hook they are using to lure people into their phishing attempt. Before they started using this version of the phish they were using fake contests/draws for gil as the hook. I suspect they switched over because they found that more people fall for the current one than the gil contest one.

The tell isn't about the patch. The tell is a phishing scam.

What's sad is the number of players that fall for it because they haven't been taught simple online safety tips.

Read it again. It doesn't say anything about what patch they're objecting to, or what "this sensitive time" is.

A few months ago we had this same discussion and people were asking what was so controversial about patch 5.3.

It's designed to be everlasting and vague and to let your mind automatically fill in the blanks.

Pretty sure it started back in Q1 with the start of the pandemic, and all the issues with that.

My point is, just because it started with the pandemic doesn't mean they're referring to the pandemic. By using the vague term "this sensitive time" the exact same trap message can be sent out for years to come, and people will keep filling in the blank with whatever sensitive issue might be going on at the time.
