As someone with both E-Peens, I say bring them back to the old ways.

With the current methods, you’re forced to TM bomb if you want any chance of getting the E-Peens. It’s annoying to be on the receiving end, yes, but it’s even more annoying when you’re the one doing it.

Not everyone will add you/post on your thread, I’d say it’s one of every 3 people you tm. So you already have to send 3x more tms then you should, just to get people to post. It’s useless spam. And I believe when someone sends a lot, it’s really heavy for the FW servers.

At least with the old popularity method you could simply spam friend requests. You only needed to enter on a character profile, add him, and hope to get accepted. Now you need to scan Klan Domination Tab/Chats/Domination Pods, create a witty TM, and hope the person adds you. It’s much more annoying for both parts the new ways.
