Really, no feedback from the developers/game hosts at all?

When most of the players  in the game  request this to change then it might happen  but as most don't  complain about advancement I am not thinking this  will go Far  Please note I have forwarded your remarks.

Would like to add my vote to remove this event as well. It is a way to punish players. There is absolutly no reason to gain levels and make yourself a target.

When those +level events popup I just don't play to gain any xp.

But, if you were ALREADY more than halfway to the next level, then you would be automatically advanced. Hence, the complaint. Geez!

I will again forward this let me get it correct what you request is an opt out option for the 1/2 exp to level up Castle event.

Yes I agree. There is are many reasons for not wanting to level up. For one I would like to remain a level 99 for as long as possible so i can continue controlling jeweler hamlets. It would be a nice to have something that would suspend your experience gains until you are ready to move up. 

This is an interesting suggestion, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to implement technically.

It does not have to be that diffucult, we are asking for a way to opt out of the forced 50% XP to upgrade to next level event. So we can plan properly. An item that says, next 50% XP event is on prevent level up, that would be enough!

Thanks for the explanation. I will pass it on to the dev team to check if it would be possible to implement.
