Over the weekend I was updating our Facebook Feed Publish calls to work with their latest supported version. While in the boss collect code testing the update out I noticed that once a boss is killed a post is added to the social feed automatically. So if a player clicked on "Share Rewards" to notify mob it would actually create a second post. Now I have heard "rumblings" from users in the past about boss kill spam in the feed but did not look any further until yesterday. I then dug into it a bit more and turns out the auto kill message has one of the lowest click thru rates which indicates that this is a "spammy" post in the social feed. Maybe at one time this post served as a useful way to notify users to collect but with the increased visibility of bosses helped and ease of collecting from the boss list view, the usefulness of this post turns out to be more spammy than anything else. The auto boss kill message has been removed. If you think I overlooked anything with respect to this change please let me know. I did not originally communicate it due to it being (what I think) a fairly minor change that should help reduce the spam in the social game feed but some players have sent in messages to support so wanted to make sure we were communicating this change now.
While we're on the subject of bosses and feeds, I've noticed something that should be fixed also. If you ask for help, Facebook brings up a confirmation window where you can post or cancel. The same message pops up when you ask people to ax slap a rival. When you click "cancel" on the ax slap request though, it'll say: You did not invite your Chieftains and friends to Axe Slap this user. When you click "cancel" on a boss help request though, it'll still post the boss to the feed. Shouldn't that be fixed or is that intended?
