Any news about the third option? :'(
lol. there's NO NEWS.. i already posted our position one it 3 posts ago...
we had this same list of 'complaints' regarding option 3. i already wrote about it previously. the option works in this version of the game just like it did before it patched last time and the time before that. it also works just like it did in 2011 game and 2010 game. unfortunately, the way the code is written, the changes you make are 'undone' by the game based on alot of factors. i am not going to try and go back and defeat multiple code segments. if this option is not useful at all then let me know and we will remove it in the next patch.
best,
Cal
