It was bad enough we were getting gold and food most of the time and less gems from Monsterwood, but now you change it to chests that we have to take extra steps to open. At least before they were credited to our account, Now I have to watch an ad, get a chest, go to my storage and open the stupid chests to find food, and gold. Why do you have to make things so difficult?

Did we really need all the extra steps to get the stupid food and gold. Same with the relic chests. What is the point of sticking items or food or gold in the chests? They are kind of worthless. You took away items cause you said they were unfair but want to give them to us in chests. Vent done.

To be honest, I don't see the reason for outrage. It's not like they took away a feature and replaced it with chests. Chests are just there now too. Doesn't seem like a problem to me.

@sansot I didn't say I was outraged just said it was annoying....And I was venting that made extra steps to get the same rewards we were already getting.

Also, I would say at least every second video or mini game does not give rewards as of a couple of days ago. I often give up frustrated when I get nothing 3 or 4 times in a row. Add to that the nuisance of the chests, I might just not worry about Monsterwood for a while!!!

i find this new feature quite odd, too! ...it's like your employer paid you 500.000 pennies each in an envelope... and expects you to open them in front of him, making a super surprised face every single time...
WHY!
the problem of watching ads an not getting rewrded is also discussed here:

for me it's always ads from "unity ADS" - their logo is in the lower right corner in the ad-closing-screen

Yeah, if we could get an "open all" option for each type of chest, it would solve this issue.

@Suzznee Gotcha. I think I misread what you said and hadn't seen what you were talking about in game. I have now. Yeah it is a weird extra step.

@Suzznee Thanks for posting this. I was thinking of doing the same. Its minor, but this game with each new feature added takes a "little" more time each day. They need to keep the amount of time we play in mind as well. In some cases, some people want to play longer, but that is doing things like battle. Opening chests adds a lot of unnecessary steps.

This made me laugh. Thanks as I needed a good laugh with my coffee. But that is exactly what it feels like.

We use to get gems, now we get food lottery tickets for monsters we really don't need and gold. Once in awhile it is like they throw in a gem to get you to keep watching for a chance you might get another gem. But making us do extra steps to get to the chests is just time consuming. I know it is not a big deal, but for some reason the storage is all messed up as well, and yes I know there is a topic on it as well, but I have to open storage, find the chests and then open each one ... And yes I feel like I should be jumping up and down for joy that I got another "Penny in an envelope"

@Suzznee I know it is still a problem that the storage is messed up and opening chest s takes extra time, but you shouldn't have to worry about finding them. You can sort your storage to chests so that is the only thing the storage will show. Only takes a sec. One of the few improvements

@dashielle89 The storage area is the least of my problems. It is just the point of having to take extra steps to get the same stuff we were already getting that was automatically credited before. I do have a life besides this game.

@sansot I got rsi with all the extra tapping. THATS my issue!

@Fox
Any thought about why this change ?
