Increase the limit of bomb stuff we can pick up
Ok apparently there is a limit as to how many bomb items we can pick up in a day. I had heard rumors about this limit but had never actually reached it. Well yesterday was double xp day so I played the whole day and sure enough I get this error message when trying to collect. https://prnt.sc/m187xs After talking to people I have learned that the maximum is 4500 things that we can pick up from bombs so yes the number is high but people are hitting it. We need this number increased. We do parties for the public in order to get xp because the more people who collect the more xp it gives. If people are hitting this limit they won't be able to go help and collect from the people who hold their parties later at night. People spend a lot to throw these parties to get this xp then we can't come collect and help them. This is ridiculous. Especially when the people who are reaching it are throwing tons of bombs for the parties and hosting parties for the public. And why is there nothing on the tv or updates telling us about this limit? We should at least have been told about it so we can plan better. Whole thing just seems wrong. Double xp day comes once a month. If we want to play the whole 24 hours we should be able to. This stops us. Its crazy unfair. Please increase this limit. Either way I am posting this so everybody at least knows about it and can plan around it if we have to.

This will be updated in the next release.

Is there any way we can get a answer on this?? How long is it going to stay "under review"? Double day is coming up soon. Would like to know what your decision is either way so I know how to plan my day. Would be awesome to see it changed before double day when more people WILL hit it with all the parties people are planning throughout the entire day.

4500 pickups, times 10 for the limit between pickups... 45,000 seconds, or 12 hours, 30 minutes. Add a few minutes to go between parties, bring it up to 13-14 hours. If you're spending that much time in a video game, I'd say that it's incredibly unhealthy as a human being. As much as I'm sure James appreciates he patronage, there has to be something in the real life that needs to be done.

I agree. Why drop bombs if you can't pick up all the items that are returned to you. It really could slow down the peeps that do alot of bomb trading which means less cp spent which could lead to other expenses later on if volume goes down. I would prefer not to see a price increase on playing this game and if the volume decreases then .... well it could be a domino effect

I agree completely, this received all three of my votes.

I disagree with Rob's statement, I have known of three separate people that this has happened to, and I may very well be next. If we choose to drop bombs (thus supporting the site) then we should be able to pick up as much as someone else chooses to drop in return, I wholeheartedly agrre with Taz on this and support her 110%

yes it should be changed and i know because i was stopped the 1st time after i had been picking up without being stopped until that was put into play...@ Rob..i and at least 3 other people that i know have hit their limit and been stopped..ok folks so it is ok to buy and drop as many as you want but you get a limit from picking up? i could see it if James sopped us if we didnt open up floors for the public but i spent a fortune on public floors this past x2 sat and i think that opening floors for the public (cant be called greedy) should be taken into consideration "even if" the limit isnt increased otherwise...

I agree 100% we pay to play James, this is totally wrong, if we pay and buy 1000 bombs then it should not matter how many items we should pick up at all for that matter. I know I pay my fair share in in bombs and other things and like Taz said if we want to stay up and play for 24 hours straight we should be able to do so. I do feel that this limit should be lifted all together let alone just on double exp day. after all if we pay to play there should not be a limit, just saying you are making your money who cares if we pick up 4500 items a day or not. why should it matter? I feel the same way Taz does when I heard this and saw the print screen to prove it. this is just wrong. I am sorry just wrong. Makes me very sad to know this. :(

How can you say "you are not going to hit the limit going to parties"? If people play long enough they can and will hit it. More and more are hitting the limit every single time. And for what? Double xp day is only once a month so yes people play long crazy hours trying to make the most of it. Should they be punished for that and prevented from helping at others parties? People buy these bombs to have them collected. People throw their parties hoping to get as many people as possible collecting from them. If we are shut off we cant help. I do NOT agree with this limit on collecting but if the game is going to have one then players need to be made aware that there is one and what exactly the limit is. I got the 4500 number from other players. I would like James to confirm it. James has not responded to my message yet so I came on here to see how others feel and to let those who didn't know about it learn there is in fact a limit in place. I see u are against removing the limit but i certainly can't understand why. I would love to know what good u think this collection limit brings to the game? You say there is no reason to mess with it. What reason is there to keep it? The game has changed and I can't think of any reason to stop someone from collecting just because they chose to play the full time during double xp. Doesn't seem right to me.

you are not going to hit the limit picking up at parties ... i am sure no one has hit that limit as many times as i have and i have no problem with it. 4500 pickups one every say 12 seconds is 15 straight hours of picking up ...without missing a single pick up ...eating sleeping ..going to bathroom .... 4500 is more then plenty and no reason to mess with it.

Ok so you say the limit has been in place since day 1, the game has also changed since day 1. It did not used to be this way where we could drop and get more xp for each person who collected. We had to work much harder for xp back then. Now the way its set up, we want as many people as possible collecting our bombs. If they reach this limit they can't.. Its getting to where more and more people are hitting the limit. So it needs to be looked at. It has nothing to do with greed. In fact most of us are extremely generous on double day. The limit actually didn't affect me too bad personally. I still got xp at the last parties because i still had bombs on my head but i couldn't help the people who threw the parties to get their xp. I knew bout this limit so i made sure to plan around it. But many don't even know about it. They find out when it is too late because they get that box that comes up. That is not right. I do not agree with this limit but if he is going to put one in affect it is only right that people are aware of it.
