This is getting ridiculous, honestly. Tell players that after 3.18 it's safe to build auec and reputation. Then shortly after that announce a partial wipe in 3.18.1, which directs players to accumulate auec. Then shortly after that announce a full wipe in 3.18.1. Then shortly after that announce another full wipe in 3.18.2, which directs players to spend all their auec in 3.18.1, because they will be wiped anyway. Then shortly after that release 3.18.2 and don't wipe auec, without any prior warning, admitting partial wipe only after 3.18.2 is already released. Every time you think that CIG communication cannot get any worse and cannot be more contradicting and inconsistent - they still manage to surprise you! CIG's motto - exceeding expectations. And no, it's not about the wipes themselves, it's about setting player expectations COMPLETELY incorrectly about those wipes.
