With the release of 4.0, the availability of trumpets is dramatically reduced...I think this should be examined and corrected.

In any online game, the player base thrives by fostering an in-game community...in Naruto, it's vital in preventing the repetitive game activities from becoming an unbearably tedious chore. When I first started playing a year ago (in the 2.0 days), I dismissed the presence of Trumpets as an necessary item...I had more than I needed and mocked their presence as being completely superfluous. But when 4.0 came out, my supply dwindled from being in the thousands to complete depletion. Now, barring what's awarded in a few events...we only get 2 or so a day.

World chat, which was once alive with cheerful morale-boosting banter is now nearly dead...which makes the game feel dead and boring. Collaboration between player from different dwindling groups is now more limited.

Of course, we can buy more with coupons...but is typing "lol" at someone's joke, or saying "congrats' really worth spending 13 coupons?

This seems unfair to me.

I DO get the original intent...limiting chat opportunities reduces spam. From my experience though during the bountiful-trumpet days....spam was rare and happened anyway.

Please consider either offering more of this item, or doing away with it altogether.
