Okay, I am going to ask the following..
Where was my mail warning me about this update?
We sent a mail to the affected players prior to the update.
I GOT NOTHING
Why was this update not pointed out on the login screen like all other updates are?
It was.
Why do I need to learn a whole new system to use some scripts?
You don't. Script authors need to ensure their scripts are available on https. If you're a script author, you should know how to do that.
Some people like me barely know javascript but have managed to piece enough together to make customized rally point scripts. I got my scripts to work again. Hopefully it stays that way. I have no idea with the PROMISE of messing with it more. But, I can tell you I did not know about the difference in security. I just host the stuff on a free german server. Why would I care anything about security. It is FREE!
ALSO, THERE ARE MANY GOOD SCRIPTS THAT I DON'T HAVE FULL CODE FOR. THOSE ONES ARE NOW BROKEN AND I AM DEPENDENT ON SCRIPT AUTHORS TO UPDATE. I MAY NEVER GET THEM AGAIN UNLESS I CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE THEM MYSELF. SCRIPT AUTHORS ARE DWINDLING IN TW AND IT IS BECAUSE OF NONSENSE LIKE THIS.
Why could you not leave the old scripts alone?
Your browser will refuse to load the old scripts. It's not a restriction from us. We're providing the warning.
WHAT? I don't even understand that statement. My browser worked fine until you guys changed the game. Blaming the browser. really???!!!
Why do you constantly remove scripts with updates?
We don't.
You do. What did we gain here? Oh, wait a second of faster load time that was not needed.
Tribal Wars has lost the numbers it had in years past, do you think that the constant updates drive players away, and that maybe just maybe holding on to the players you have might be worth more then looking for new players with fancy updates?
Tribal Wars has maintained steady player counts for years.
yes, because we are too addicted to quit despite the BS. I was very close this time though. And if you break my scripts to a point I can't fix them on my server I WILL.
Why is there never a poll or discussion PRIOR to these updates so you can see what the "community" would think of them?
Because a community poll can't change the security model of the internet.
Again, this has to do with your game not the browser. stop blaming the browser!
