I often Google Image Search for ideas on how to present and display data, but I'd also like to hear from other people working in this field.

When you have several years of demand data you want to present and discuss, do you have a certain approach you take? Do you total quarters or years, and pad the column with a couple of averages? Maybe you just put it all in 40+ columns? Pivot, or pivot slicers? I did start using graphs one time and I got jokingly-scolded because it apparently made it look like I had a ton of spare time.

I imagine there must be plenty of other people like me who consider the formatting to be incredibly important, and I really dislike having a ton of columns so always look for ways to condense the data. It will be interesting to know what your thoughts are.

Even worse, on top of the skill point change and the feeling of losing meta progression, the only reason we're getting Raider Tokens is to push us to feel we have to use them. That is, by giving players some tokens, it not only pushes them to view the cash shop, but naturally increases the chance that the player will spend real money to top up their tokens and make a purchase.

We not only lost meta progression, they've added a level of exploitation to it.

Again, they've often remarked that they don't like how few people actually do the expedition, and a reducing player base affects the cash shop.

Do not be fooled thinking it's a gift. It's a strategy.

The last game where I've thrown in the towel it was 29mins and in the first 30 seconds I saw about eight raider flares go up. I thought that was strange. Another 20 seconds and I was ganked by two players clearly in a team. I can only assume the map was being steamrolled.

This is ruining the game.

I've received a yucky email saying I'll be paying more rent and I'll also have to pay another $400 into my bond for the new 3 week total. That didn't smell right to me so checked the actual wording on the tenancy site:

https://www.tenancy.govt.nz/rent-bond-and-bills/bond/increasing-or-decreasing-a-bond/

>The tenant has paid a general bond of 3 weeks’ rent.
>The weekly rent goes up by $10.
>This means the landlord can request a top up of $30 to be paid to the general bond.

These fucks are getting renters to incorrectly pay bond against a new calculated total, rather than paying the new weekly difference.

I've been here 9 years and have never had a bond increase. B&T took over the lease or whatever last year and since then I've been threatened with eviction twice (dust on rangehood oh no!), accused of dismantling the garage door (lmao wtf), accused of draining the water tank for three houses (I'm one person, they have 8 in the other houses), and now this blatant misinformation trying to get more money out of me.

A massive FUCK YOU to Barfoot and Thompson and warning to their other tenants.

I don't think this used to happen as much, but lately playing with a friend we seem to encounter these super groups of people who are all acting in coordination and without using proximity chat. A few times now we've been pinched between two teams who silently converged and knocked us out, no rivalry.

Is anyone else noticing this trend?
