Ill explain, a majority of these hackers are Chinese, because the hackers are Chinese most of the ‘boosted’ accounts will be getting sold to other Chinese users.

A Chinese airport would attract more Chinese users. More Chinese users means a bigger market for the Chinese hackers to sell to. This bigger market would mean more hackers who want to make money. The more hackers the less money WoA gets. Due to this money risk they are delaying the Chinese airport

I understand, you want Chinese players to get out of WoA, right?

75

I feel like I’ve done my best to speak in the most friendly way possible so that we can improve things together.

76

You just don’t want to face it, because this thing didn’t happen in front of you out of thin air!

77

What I’m saying is I don’t really want people to be insulting people on the forum which is why it should be closed down.
I’m not specifically saying you were.

Face what?

I never said that, I was just explaining how a Chinese airport directly affects amount of hackers due to supply and demand, like you asked

Until the Devs fix the root cause of the hackers the Chinese airport has to be unfortunately delayed due to the risk of attracting more. It’s unlucky, but it’s for the best of the game, the only thing we can do is wait patiently

Sorry, I thought you were talking about me. If I did anything wrong, please also tell me. Thanks

You have to know that WoA is not in the Chinese app market at all. The launch of Chinese airports will only be a surprise for our existing players. Of course, as you said, the team doesn’t owe us anything. We are spoiled.

82

We are not arguing whether they will give us a Chinese airport, but this approach is really disappointing to us.

83

I mean, the way we are treated is not about whether we will be a Chinese airport or not.

Your remarks sound utterly ridiculous. How did you arrive at the conclusions that “Chinese players are undermining the game’s revenue” and “Chinese airports will attract more Chinese hackers”? Or do you think these are conclusions drawn by the developers?

As for the other points you mentioned:
1. I did not demand a “yes” or “no” answer from the developers; I merely questioned why every vote for a Chinese airport received the same canned response.
2. I did not, by “statements,” demand that the developers do anything. I simply suggested they establish a communication channel with Chinese players—this was my personal recommendation, and I trust you understand what “suggestion” means.
3. As for the game itself, the developers indeed owe me nothing. However, I am a player who also supports them financially, so I believe I have the right to share my opinions and suggestions. Moreover, Chinese players are not upset merely because they have to wait longer for a Chinese airport; they’re confused because “due to suspected hacker attacks originating from China, the development team’s focus has been forced to shift toward dealing with these attacks, so they can’t produce a Chinese airport in the short term.”
I fully understand that development schedules suffer when you’re under hacker attack—no one wants that. But why is this explanation of delays only applied to votes for a Chinese airport? Do hacker attacks only affect the production timeline of Chinese airports?
4. I find your final point both absurd and prejudiced: why would the introduction of a Chinese airport threaten WoA’s future development?

Sorry, I’m not very familiar with using the forum, and the mobile browser doesn’t display the information fully.

Right.

@LeChonk is one of the most respectful people on the forum and none of his posts in this thread have ever been ‘utterly ridiculous’! Nothing but informational and the truth!
And he said Chinese players will attract more Chinese players, not more hackers, what he means is that the more Chinese players the more market for the Chinese players. Hence why they have to delay a Chinese airport.
And their not conclusions they are facts. The majority of hackers are Chinese. Just the truth.

As the answer they gave practically ticks every box. I’m replying to this post solely by reading that and some of @Thatflyerguy and @LeChonk and @Ecoaviation posts.

As @LeChonk has said he wasn’t talking to you. But you kind of are demanding the developers add a Chinese airport. And if you want to talk about such with just Chinese players then make a private message or chat.

No one ever said that you didn’t have a right to share suggestions. Share some! Like everyone else! And @LeChonk has already said why a Chinese airport is on hold, because it would attract more Chinese players hence a bigger market for the hackers. It applies only for Chinese airports for the reason I’ve stated above. Same goes for the final question.

First of all. Thats just disrespectful. And like many in this thread have said before, more Chinese players means a bigger market for the hackers. So more money would go to the hackers then the developers would get. If you want to advance quickly then support the devs and buy GP and such. Like you’ve done.

I believe your response is very constructive, and I’m convinced that this kind of mutually respectful discussion is highly valuable for the forum.
Adelaide is a beautiful city, and since I had planned to travel to Australia before, I have a general understanding of its cities.
As you mentioned, because the player base is large, it’s easy for Chinese airports to prevail in the airport voting—that’s also an inherent flaw of the voting system itself.
At the same time, I’d like to clarify once more that Chinese players aren’t confused because “Chinese airports have to wait longer,” but because “due to suspected hacker attacks originating from China, the development team’s focus was forced to shift to addressing those attacks, so they can’t produce Chinese airports in the short term.”
I completely understand that the development schedule has been impacted by these hacker attacks—that’s not what anyone wants to see. But why is the response about delays in development progress directed only at the voting for Chinese airports? Do these hacker attacks really only affect the production schedule for Chinese airports?

Throughout the day I have been reading this discussion and I feel a bit puzzled and impressed. I would just like to share my view. In my case, the situation is probably even a little more upsetting: there is no chance in the near future to see airports from my region in the game, and airlines from my country are also absent. Sometimes it feels disappointing, and at first glance it might even seem like some sort of unfairness or discrimination. However, I fully understand that this is not about players or their background — it’s about protecting the safety of the game itself. If resolving these issues takes time, I am ready to wait as long as needed. I understand that no one can give an exact timeline or clear “yes” or “no” answers. Maybe I don’t fully understand all the complexities behind development, but I do my best to be understanding and appreciate the efforts of the team. Of course, if some players personally have any prejudice against me, I won’t argue with that. But in any case, I prefer to look at the situation more broadly — through the lens of caring for the game and its future. Very often, the topic of support is raised — both financial and through ideas. For my part, I fully open every new airport by buying GP for its complete development, including purchasing AI contracts and exchanging them for Wollars. I do all of this solely for my own goals and comfort, and in return, I expect nothing.
