okay after reading through this thread (and ending up with a headache at some of the responses) i just have to wonder why people want to be lazy and still expect to get as much of a reward as those who put in real effort to the game? i'm a relatively new player and i have to admit that the afk friendly potc games were Very helpful for me in learning the dynamics of the game. if you are really concerned about not having enough time to earn credits, you really can just ride the alice or peter pan rides? selling ash for 50 credits each can add up over time. sure, you don't make as much credits as you would have in the past doing friendly potc, but something is better than nothing. while i don't believe that any of the minigames in myvmk require That much skill or should be That competitive, to each their own? jc and hm aren't that hard with a trackpad if you practice with it. after playing on a trackpad for a few months, i can still get a score of close to 40k each game for jc. it's all about the effort you're willing to put into the game! more effort = more credits, it's as simple as that. at least the kraken doesn't affect the entirety of the players now if one person goes afk!
i'm glad that the staff are trying to improve the game constantly and that they are doing away with people who just want to rack up credits and inflate the myvmk economy. not saying names or anything, but in the short time i've been on this game, i've known that there are people who would get a ton of easy credits and then sell them for real money. one of the biggest draws for myvmk was the fact that it's completely free to play, unlike a lot of other online gaming communities that offer "starter packages" or something for real money. everyone should be thankful that the staff put in as much effort and time as they do for a game that they really don't get compensated for, that i'm aware of.
