Akemie: It's alright, I don't mean to argue with you or anyone. This is a game, after all... :)
But anyway, I do still get how you (or your friends) are feeling. I think the problem is what I mentioned earlier:

Quote from RiakoI think the problem is that the reward simply exists - which makes everyone want to get it. People think they deserve the reward simply because it's available?

The problem seems to be that everyone thinks they need to get it; and if they don't get it, they don't consider that fair. (And like I also said, if we're all being very honest, we don't really want there to be hundreds of SM Cursed Rapidash on site, do we? ... If we're being honest, we want that we ourselves own it but everyone else doesn't. Because the more users own it, the less it's worth. Compare it to the shiny Easter Event reward, for example. It's worth basically nothing.)
And that, however, I do now understand and will consider more in the future. I thought it's nice to add a new reward for our absolute hardcore players (who usually get bored after 3-4 days into an event when they've collected everything); but apparently this might demotivate those users who this reward wasn't even made for. Like I said, you don't need to have it...

Quote from AkemieRiako I think you forgot that not everyone has hours and hours of time daily to click for that.

If you are not able to be active enough, why should you deserve a super rare prize which is aimed mostly to hardcore players...? Do you really want a shiny mega which literally everyone else owns? Where's the point in that?
If you don't have that much time, then just work towards the regular mega-able. That's what it's there for.

Also please stop implying that this is a paywall feature or anything. Like I said earlier, we're actually saving you from a huge paywall here - because the alternative is shiny mega hunting it from the event shop.
When I added the Dream Points to be a possibility for getting Sweets I frankly didn't even consider the nuggets behind it. I just thought it's a nice and fun way, because people like the Dream Shop and like to be encouraged sending plushies...
I personally really couldn't care less about the "DOLLARS" you mentioned in your post. We need money to run this site; but I personally have a well paying RL job and haven't touched a single penny from PH over the last few years. Not to mention that I'm the opposite of a money driven person; if anything, I'm inspired by minimalism... But anyway, I really don't see why this should be anyone's business.
I think it's a bit rude to imply that this is about money, when instead we tried to create new possibilities and new rewards which aren't boring to hardcore players on day 3.

Chewydabacca: Let's first wait how this event plays out over the next few days. I think there'll be plenty of users who get the SM (with hard work; not talking about spending nuggets). Plenty more than necessary, to be honest. Again: Shiny mega event.

I think the problem is that the reward simply exists - which makes everyone want to get it. People think they deserve the reward simply because it's available? Which no, it shouldn't... I can't say it often enough, but it's a shiny mega. The alternative is a very long and extremely expensive shiny mega hunt.
We didn't need to give you this (again: doable!) option. But I thought it's a very kind (and motivating/challenging) opportunity. Honestly, take it or leave it... But if you don't want to put in the effort for it, then there's plenty of other rewards available in this event which are aimed exactly to players like you.

I'd understand if we were talking about a Pokemon that everyone needs to - for example - complete their dex. A Pokemon which everyone should get. But no, we're not talking about this. We're talking about something completely optional; something that should have a very very high value and should be owned by a small number of people.

Quote from MelonNoodleRiako, you contradict your own words. You say not everyone has time for that many interatcions, yet you encourage people to do between 10-50k interactions per day.

I didn't mean that we want to encourage everyone to make 50k per day. Otherwise I'd be saying that we want everyone to have the SM Event. And no, that's not what we want, obviously. You have to keep in mind that it's still a shiny mega. It still needs to be super rare. What's the alternative? Exactly: Shiny mega hunting it. Well good luck with that... At least we are giving you a doable hard challenge to get it without going through a SM hunt... The SM is certainly not a reward we want to give to everyone. Only to hardcore players, that's true.
But still we don't want players, who make 100-times more interactions than others (i.e. hardcore players) to have 100-times more rewards (or reward points) than casual players. We want them to have - let's say - 5-times (arbitrarily chosen number) as much rewards. Still higher, of course, as they put in more effort, but not so high that it'd unbalance things greatly.

Quote from MelonNoodleAt least PLEASE STOP rolling back upgrades and levels every Halloween! This would make this event much more fair than it is now!

It would be fairer to you, maybe, but not to newer players. Imagine you are a newer player; wouldn't you also want the same (or at least almost same) chance as an experienced player? We certainly don't want to discourage new players from enjoying the game.
Plus, the skill level isn't reset entirely. It is reduced to 20% of your progress, so you are rewarded for being a long-time active member. Just not in an unfair way.

Quote from MelonNoodle150k Candies is ridiculous amount

Imo, it's not - like I said, the alternative is: Shiny mega hunt it. We didn't need to give you this opportunity; but we felt like it's a nice way so people can still get it. (Without spending money, by the way. I've also seen the mention of a "paywall" somewhere, and honestly this confuses me even more? There'd be a strong paywall if we made you shiny-mega hunt it from the Event Shop; but instead you can now gain it with hard work....)

Quote from MelonNoodleespecially knowing it's shorter than last few years.

It's actually one day longer than last year's Halloween event... It started one day earlier and has the same end date.

Quote from MelonNoodleLet everybody have a chance at shiny mega, and not just people willing to break their fingers/with too much money to spend on Dream Points.

Chance, yes. I think everyone does have the chance. But you have to show effort. Again, this is a shiny mega event.

	Like I said, you'll receive more from trick or treating the further you progress, and you should also use the dream points you get from interacting. Perhaps I phrased it a bit wrong there; I didn't mean to say that the sweets from interacting alone will be enough, but I'm saying that 50k interactions + Trick or Treating + Rumbling + DP from interacting will be enough.

The rewards (PD, GCC, Sweets or any other event items) you gain per interaction decrease with the amount of interactions you make per day. This is for fairness reasons (not everyone has the time/capabilities to make that many interactions; most hardly have time to do 10k interactions in one day, and this highly unbalances the game when some players progress 10- to 100-times as quickly as others. It discourages casual players) as well as for health reasons (we don't want to encourage our players to make that many clicks per day, actually. It's just not healthy).
Instead, we want to encourage our players to make between 10k and 50k'ish interactions per day - which is a doable as well as healthy amount. And 50k is, by the way, enough to get the SM from the current event (if you do it every day). Plus, you receive DPs from interacting as well, which also helps.

Also, regarding your comparably low numbers today: you have to consider that you also spend sweets today (on the upgrades), your first thousand'ish interactions didn't count much (because you didn't have the Large Candy Bag from the beginning), and your skill level starts rather low so you don't get too many sweets from Trick-or-treating on day 1. This will, however, increase.

Thank you for your feedback.
Firstly, don't worry - we are taking all reports very seriously! And no, we are not allowing inappropriate usernames on PokeHeroes. Our moderators don't mark these reports as "done" until the issue has been resolved completely. Sometimes reports just need a bit more time.

Changing usernames is a little trickier and time-consuming than—say—deleting a feed. A username is a login credential which the user needs to sign in. If we change it without them noticing, they loose access to their account. That's why we always reach out to the user first (in case they are still active) and ask them to please change their username asap. This gives them a second chance, which I personally believe everyone deserves.
If they don't change their username within a reasonable amount of time, we forcefully change their username.

I nonetheless agree that three weeks (which is how long it took to change the first username you linked) is a bit long for that process. We are continuously working on improving our internal processes and this issue is something that we will investigate closely in the future.

Again, however, let me assure you that we have the best interest of everyone in mind. We don't like such usernames on PH any more than you do :)

Also, FYI, I have removed the links from your post. I get that you need examples to prove your point, but technically that's considered "Naming and shaming". Please send examples to me or the moderators directly next time in case you find it necessary.

11/09/2021:

The SCS reward system of interaction multipliers has been changed:
From now on, ...
... reaching 100% of the goal activates an x2 multiplier.
... reaching 150% of the goal activates an x3 multiplier.
... reaching 200% of the goal activates an x4 multiplier.

Consequently, the base goals from now on will be much lower. Even the 150% goals (i.e. x3 multiplier) are a bit easier to reach from now on.
