You got some right to giggle I think.
But things can be very unpredictable. I think one of the main reasons why wings and items were placed in the game is to keep users entertained. I did not wish that badly for these things myself, but there was countless of users who wished for FH to be more like IT. And if the demands are big, and is constantly brought up, there's always chances it will happen.
I think these changes were actually for the better if I'm going to be honest.
But honestly.. Wings, items, I'm fine with those. But pets is far the most annoying thing I know from IT. I find it close to dumb and I really hope the same thing will not happen to FH. It's just out of place if anything and I hate e v e r y t h i n g about it.
Fun how things can change though.
