This is a petition thread, not a discussion or debate thread. To those who disagree with what this petition asks, you can start your own separate petition in a different thread. This thread is purely to show @HPWUTeam and @hpwulola the extent folks here desire to return to pre-version 2.13.0 HPWU gameplay, however screwed up it was, because anything beats the post 2.13.0 update nightmare that Niantic / HPWU has unleashed on us.
So, please pause/suspend further HPWU gameplay, take the time you need to find the latest server backup immediately before the 2.13.0 update fiasco and restore everyone to that backup, reset, and restart.
This is a petition by the undersigned (via reply to this thread) to Niantic / HPWU for such pause and reset.
(and for anyone contrarian enough to attempt to do anything in this thread other than support it by replying with your name, profession, and rank/level, a special jinx might have been placed on this petition — like and unlike the one placed on Dumbedore Army’s Signup Sheet)
I’ll start the petition sign-up below and hope others who feel the same way will join this petition.

As I have read repeatedly all over the social sites, niantic has never rolled back any of their releases in any of their games, why should they do so now?
It may not even be their decision, that may sit with WB who doesn't seem to be bothered by what a few players deem disastrous. But best of luck building your army.
I sympathize, but how does this belong in Feature Requests?
Time for a rollback, its long overdue.

Already quit POGO ( max level) and Ingress over frustrations with design choices, but at least they didn’t delete what I worked and paid for in those games.
But... Ummm... Why? Petitions typically have goals stated and reasons for the petition. This is a pretty ambiguous request. So what's your purpose?
Currently, I'm a solid no.
What makes this petition particularly stupid is that you're asking them to "roll back" a major update to the game simply because "Myself and some others don't like it." You give no evidence or explanation other than your dislike for it. How can you possibly ask them to change something if you don't even explain WHY you want it changed back? I can almost hear your asinine response of "they should know what is wrong" or "the reasons are in many other threads".
This entire approach of yours is like a bunch of random people telling you they don't like the look of your new car and expecting you to return it and go back to driving your previous car based solely on their dislike of your car. Would you return it? Not if you posess half a brain you wouldn't.
This "petition" is idiocy of the highest order and a complete waste of time.
LoL.

You and I were flagged for our responses for some reason. That's humorous to me.
YOU DON'T AGREE WITH ME SO YOU'RE A TROLL!?
That's kinda what I got out of it.
This reminds me of the New Orleans Saints fans petitioning to go back and replay the end of the game because of a bad call that sealed their elimination from the Super Bowl.
I’m pretty sure they’re still waiting for an answer from the NFL.

I'm curious about what the issue is other than the hideous load time for entering a wizard challenge. All in all this just seems to reward people for continuing to play. I'll admit it was annoying at first when a lot of work put in went up in smoke but overall this looks like positive gains. I would like better rewards for finishing a gold stack of foundables tho.

They never fixed the profile picture where it shows different colors and add ons either. Sucks! Put it back the way it was!! I Support this petition!
Loving the update, and really getting a kick out of this "petition".
What's done is done. Put your big boy robe on and move on.
"I support this petition because I can't see the glowing, pretty colors on my profile picture!"
Uhhh.... profile picture colors? Really? People actually care THAT much? 90% of people in Wizards Unite don't even HAVE a profile picture. And if they do, it's a picture of a cat or a tree or something.
I think that has to be one of the dumbest reasons I've ever read to support a petition to have a rollback.
TL;DR Waaaaaaaaaaaaaah

I love it. And it's great. More points, more books. 💖 hope it stays.
FYI
The whole point is to do the update properly.
Nothing was ever explained. We needed people going round and about testing stuff to figure out what was going on. There was no communication. People LOST a LOT of stuff obtained through investment and hard work. If it would have been properly tested, explained, updated, none of this would be happening. Some would disagree with the updates, some would agree, and that's it.
That's the reason this petition was created (I believe). So there would be a chance of redemption and fixing things for everyone.
But apparently they'll just give the finger to those that lost their stuff and give some 100 coin pack maybe with a couple potions. Hope I'm wrong 😅.
