You know, there was a time when people enjoyed the game without events, colors, or bonus rates.
I'm not defending it or anything, I'm just saying there's more to the game than worrying about this stuff, acting like it hampers you from enjoying the game for what it is.
No one is forcing you to enjoy the events. It might not be "up to par" with your standards, but it's literally better than nothing at all.
I'm thankful enough that they didn't revert the game to ASE Legacy rates upon release of ASA, if anything. Even so, I'll take what I can get.
But if you really feel like getting your word in, I heard they listen on the official discord more than here.
Edit: Don't get it misconstrued either, I do feel the events/rates could for sure be better, I just won't whine about it. A more constructive post could go a long way.
