    But they screw over whoever bought tokens with scrips and let those who stockpiled 500 scrips get a headstart. I'd say that's unfair. Why not just put in Rowena's Yellow Scrips or something if you're going to do that? I'm rather baffled they thought keeping in red scrips was fine. What you usually have is this:
    -Old lesser currency can be turned into Old best currency at a terrible ratio
    -Old best currency is now baseline earned with any activity
    -New best currency is made, need to grind from day 1 for everyone

    With how they handled red scrips, like I mentioned previously, either you played by their rules and got screwed over (turning red scrips into tokens waiting to see if anything new happened) or you played half by their rules and came out ahead (stockpiled anyway, but in scrips format, rather than token). Bad design.

    i can see what you mean by unfair but i see it the same way as beastmen tribes anyone who hops on tuesday morning before daily reset gets a 1 day lead on everyone else in the beastmen dailes, course i will say red scrips is weekly not daily but you can still hold on to your weekly 450 til the next reset.

    it's not like they are using the red scrip tokens still that for me would be unfair since i haven't been hording them for the last few months but i can easily get 450 red tokens in 2 days.

    there was no reason to spend your scrips before reset, the game doesn't magically screw you over it you don't spend them before reset just if you don't get them anyone who bought more red tokens with them instead of waiting screwed themselves you only gained by waiting till after patch day to spend them.

    meaning the smart thing to do would have been spend then every week but this week and wait till full patch notes came out then did something.

    not if you have already capped this week and bought the tokens. That is the problem. If it was a new kind of scrip everyone would start on the same footing. They have just given some a 1 week headstart and some a kick up the backside instead.

    i understood what you were saying. the only problem here is jumping to conclusions.
