100% this.
For me, this is total BS. And to be clear: I would not be making a fuss at all if they were not SO CHEAP.
Let me find the quote from VKC when HP boost was first introduced… see here for the full post
I think it’s also fair to say that what the orbs from daily missions did was encourage players to log in and play each day, a great positive for the game.
Now people don’t need to play at all, just keep logging in for the shrine and buy the orbs they miss. People don’t log in for just 1 gem, that’s ridiculously cheap to just ignore doing all the daily missions.
The fact they designed this to reward long-time, diligent players and now do this U-turn is a pretty big insult. Additionally they picked HP as the thing to boost because they felt it would have the lowest impact but now seem to say that it has too much impact it’s unfair to new players.
If there is too much of a gap between new players and old then why not give them a way to help build their collection?? Giving them HP boost won’t make the difference, especially since they should be needing their silver for evolving monsters so they cannot move the HP boost around easily.
I think the reasoning given here is completely rubbish and this change was totally unnecessary. It’s catering for people who are not committed to the game and discourages people from doing daily playing. At least make them pay the price properly rather than just individual gems for each ore.
As for the PvP players who didn’t complete the missions because they were for PvE, to some extent that’s their own mistake but what would have been good is making the missions also possible to do from PvP. I’ve always been pushing for this.

P.S. I haven’t skipped a single day of logging in since I downloaded this game. I only missed 3 of the orbs because I forgot to claim them.
