The idea was to create these special events to retain older players, encourage the use of buying premiums (therefore using nuggets) and to give
some players (the pure's for example) a hlafway decent chance to find
slightly higher value items.
So the idea of giving the double-double to everyone, including the freebie players, I don't like that. There has to be some kind of incentive to spend on the game, and I personally believe the devs are more likely to implement something like this if there's a money-maker attached to it. Why sweeten the pot for freebie players? They are already getting something for nothing... It's like the Buy One Get One Free offers at supermarkets. If you buy something, you get something more. If you choose not to buy it (remember,no one is forcing you to buy anything), you get nothing. Perfectly understood principle.
Not sure what you mean about Energy. Again, I think this proposal has to be easy and an 'all-or-nothing' approach is more likely to succeed. So by this, if everyone thinks that 100% is too much, then the only other choice is to pick a number (I did, I picked 75%), and apply it to the whole thing. Otherwise it becomes a pick-and-choose thing, which again, I doubt the devs would be interested in implementing.
But note Jakkals, I did take your comments into account and that's why the numbers changed from 100% to 75% (and the overall wording changed from Quadrupled to Tripled).
Anyways, we need a few more people to comment, otherwise it's all a bunch of hot air...
