Thanks for the reply - and yes, it's all a matter of perspective. I'm usually neutral in my posts, but sometimes I just feel like expressing myself!
To judge from Inno's three latest mobile-only offerings, they're developing quite a habit of cloning popular mobile gaming mechanics... but then, why am I not surprised? That's where the money evidently is, to look even slightly behind the scenes when it comes to the large corporations which own the gaming companies whose names appear on those mobile games. And I'm sure you know more about this than I do, too, since by preference I stick to PC games wherever I can - I don't even use the Elvenar mobile client (if my 6-y-o basic phone could even run it, nowadays!).
Again, thank you for your reply. What with your excellent website (for which also, much gratitude), and all the Elvenar video and other research work you do, I'm surprised you have time to actually play the game... or eat, or drink, or sleep! Your dedication to the cause really is outstanding.
ETA (because I doubt you have time to trawl entire Forum threads, either!) :
