Honestly, I don't know who would not have had a chance to join the premier club by now. And does an extra 4 days really offer "that much more" of a chance to do so? Hmm.... Is the extension really due to "popular demand"? If the club was indeed so popular, would an extension even be needed? Would not the units sold have already surpassed company expectations? Something doesn't add up in the message your putting out there, and once again I smell a little stink in the recipe.
This is the kind of word-smithing that is used to dance around the truth behind why this is being done. In and of itself, I don't see this particular instance as such a big deal, but it seems this is being done more and more. The pattern seems to be to hide the truth, tell part truths, or put something out there that will lead the unsuspecting off the real path of what's going on, or at least keep them from finding out. All this after the recent MMG post about listening and communicating more with the player base... ahh, so many lessons learned.
Well... if it's not going to be mature, completely honest, forthright, and to the point, please don't say anything. I can handle not knowing, or not even being told, but please don't try to tinkle on my leg and tell me that it's raining.
BTW, thanks for POP. 2 thumbs up! Best update in a couple years imo (not including the random event / reroll nerfs of late that created much unfairness for the thousands of players will never have the opportunity that the hard-core front running players did).
