Radio Event has been nerfed

Just when you thought the nerfs couldn’t get worse, they ruin the best event of them all.
Crates now only have an increased chance of radios, not more radios. I’d gladly give NG $$ when value presents itself. That hasn’t happened in a LOOONG time. While they worry about breaking the economy within the game with nice events, the economy that I’m giving to the game no longer exists.

We get a chance to BUY more radios!!! The compassion NG is showing us by ALLOWING us to buy more radios is more than my heart can take!!
My glass-half-full take on this event: Yay for more radios!
My glass-half-empty take on the event: Why did we have to reduce the number of radios? With the token dilution for heroes and the cost to upgrade to 2 or 3 pink stars, there's no way a couple of extra radios is economy-breaking.
I'm intrigued to see how much the booster bundle will cost and what it will include...

radioswords.....The people who are maxed out in supplies are probably those who are the most active or spend the most on the game, so the trade would be in line with the whole "rewarding people for being active" theme.

Grind for the challenge
Grind for the Distance
Now grind for the "chance" of more radios
I'm sensing a pattern but I just can't put my finger on it
Footnote: they do this event on Mother's Day weekend...do they have mothers in Finland?? Now I'm curious...
PS. Thanks for having it on Mother’s Day weekend! Sigh!

I'm always looking for an excuse to boost. More radios is an excuse.
Sure it's not as good as before.
I also used to get a larger variety of booty than I do now, but I won't complain. (Love my wife haha).
Enjoy what you got, instead of complaining about what you could have or used to have.
Have fun man. Life is good. Damn good.

And for those that want to compare this event to previous radio events (when they ran for the entire weekend), here's the drop rates found that were consistent across multiple radio events:
Bronze Crate: 15% (instead of 5% outside of event)
Silver Crate: 8% (instead of 4% outside of event)
Gold Crate: 6% (instead of 3% outside of event)

Totally agree & well said.
Be thankful for what you have in life in general. I always look for the positives in the negatives and due to recent personal events I'm doing this more than ever.
Goodluck to everyone in your challenge and best of luck throughout the event!
Looking forward to another round of rage quitting. Smh

So its complaining that people are upset that the drop rates seem lower and that there radios aren't 2x like they have been for what 2 years? Okay cool well check out the financial reports and other aspect of the company.
The complaining is a good thing for players they voice their concerns because eventually if their concerns and the fact they are upset go unnoticed they quit. I spent almost 1500 from September to January on this game I became upset with reduced bundles. I fought I cried I kicked I screamed. I got told tough shit and I quit. While my money is a drop in the bucket it appears enough players have felt similar but maybe not as vocal. So you call it complaining I call it feedback. NG calls its tough shit.
At end of day every business needs customers and a business should be focused on ensuring customers are happy. There are very few businesses that don't need to focus on that, but a gaming company isn't one of them.
Well if the actual chances would be higher than what they were, then it might not be so bad but otherwise...
I'm really disappointed.
If it's too much text below, read only this because it kind summarizes the whole thing:
"In order to have this event more often, we can't run it exactly as it was before. We've seen the results and they weren't the best
And now, the complete version: The chances were doubled in all crates (Normal/Silver/Gold) and those are the same numbers from the previous events. Between Increased and Double, they would sound the same. And a "reasonable increase" is not the best way to sell an event, haha. But the drop tables will be there to clear any doubt!

As you (not you Dbones, but the community) know, we don't run this event frequently because Radios are one of our most valuable resources and therefore game-economy-breaking. I know I've been answering this very same answer a lot, but in my defense, this question is also asked a lot, haha.
A couple of radios could seem harmless if you are looking at what you are collecting alone, but when you take into account that every active player is getting those "couple more", it looks terrifying as hell.
In order to have this event more often, we can't run it exactly as it was before. We've seen the results and they weren't the best. So for now, we'll check how things will go with this one and if things go well, we can certainly run it more than twice a year (which was the frequency of the previous Radio Events). It's a valid point for sure and I've suggested it to the team already (not only Radios particularly, but other resources for supplies). However, it's also a valid point that it greats diminish the value of Radios since you wouldn't be using those tomatoes on anything else. If you are looking for Radios and are willing to spend, those deals are indeed better. But if you don't want to spend a penny, there are the free Radios you can get by playing.

But if the majority would rather have it the event with the same settings, but with less frequency, that's one way to do it as well, but I believe that having these settings with more frequency would be better for everyone. What do you guys think?
problem is NG will only run these event twice a year opposed to 1x a year if I was playing still I rather have the 2 days where I earn 1k radios in 2 days once a year then a small increase chance that you might do what 2 or 3x a year. The company has pulled the reigns in so tight on their bundles and items, but still hasn't learned anything.
I quit spending and eventually quit playing. I focused my time and money on other things like dating and doing stuff outside the house. Pretty cool
Care to clue us on what you mean by that Kaz?
