but..
- - no xp tent boost??
-- no information about changes in exploration maps?? Still pathetic rewards?
The biggest isue balance still lie in exploration maps.....
Thanks! I know it won't stop the flood of others but I thought this might help.
And I had to at least try
Seriously, there's a LOT of potentially interesting stuff in there

I think I generally keep it to about 50 walkers when I farm after completing exploration missions. A few times I have gone for 100k to 200k on 9.3 while watching a movie, but honestly, I'm happy that I don't have to do that again.
Oh, yes, and I guess it will also prevent that autoclicking that some idiots have been bragging about on the forum and elsewhere lately.

I would think most likely yes...it would be hard to code to separate between new and old stuff
Answer is simple - no more such an event
The double xp booster sounds really cool. buy it for X gold every day? or is it a one time thing?
Gas booster sounds pretty intense too...hope it can be saved for a day that I can send my family out of town and sit next to my phone charger for oh...24 hours.
