In fact, this is called extrapolation and is not something special. If you watch the twelve episodes of the detective, you can assume with a high degree of probability that the thirteenth will also be a detective, and not an erotic thriller, for example :) So it is still possible to judge the intentions of the developer with some degree of certainty. At least I'm sure he won't make a shooter out of this game :) Moreover, analyzing the existing state, I observe an excellent balance between the components. That is, all the components of this game make up a more or less integral system, and not a disparate set of elements. And based on this fact, I assume that future components will also be built into this system. In our case, this means at least a similar gameplay speed.
As for the components by which I estimate the speed sometime later, you just haven't seen them yet and therefore don't understand what I'm talking about. That is, yes, I would agree with you if I just talked about the speed of progress of the village. It depends on many factors and I could well have missed some of them, which theoretically would have allowed me to raise the speed by an order of magnitude (or even two! :) ). But I'm talking about simpler and more predictable things. Keys! Exactly one in a week. And for it, I can get about a third of the resource I need for one upgrade. Three weeks for one upgrade! :) And there is no way to increase the speed. Well, except to buy three keys from a merchant for crystals. Once a month. Now here are the very events. One event once a year. There's no way to speed it up either. Are these two points enough for you?
And where it depends on me - there is darkness at all :) There, the person above at the 93rd level of the Horde fills the tank in three days. I went a little further. And the game writes to me ~11.35Kd :) Man! Yes, I'm three hands "for" that I'm wrong :) That somewhere I misunderstood something, played the wrong way, and in general - an idiot. But I've bought everything I can, the capacity doesn't allow any more, prestige upgrades are bought once a week, and it's still decades before the scale is filled :)
And, finally, I will also complain :) And then everyone complains, why am I worse? In the Gas Giant, gas is immediately a prestigious currency and is mined immediately there, without the need for prestige. And it is not spent, but gives a passive bonus. But you can also spend on some game upgrades. And here I accidentally misskliked and hit the "Max" button at the upgrade for the prestigious currency :) And that's it! Minus half of the helium I've been mining for six months :) For one mouse miss :) That's why I'm touched by people who can't get some kind of reward for the event :) Grief and suffering, yes :) They won't get a plus! :)
