Until no one says anything, I assume that everything is fine
No, as we tried to tell you, we do not think that everything is fine.
Players who have started on Beta last year and
- who are used to peace times in their home markets
- who experienced peace times on Beta in 2015
are totally at a loss in the moment.
You have made your decision not to have peace times on Beta in 2016 - fine (or rather not fine, but I am not arguing), but since there have been peace times last year, you should at least inform your players accordingly. They cannot read your mind.
Ingame, there are players still wondering why the peace times announcement is late this year and not even assuming that there will be none at all. They will have to activate vacation mode in time to spend their Christmas Eve with their families and friends without an attack alarm, so I can only ask you once again to provide an ingame clarification concerning your decision.

PS.:
@* Arci * , I would like to thank you for great work here on Beta, your presence and short response times and all your effort. It´s the best I have seen on this Beta, and I really appreciate it.
On the other hand I would ask you to be more patient and more tolerant with our concerns and comments, even if you don´t share our respective opinions.
Please, stop trying to see everything as a bad thing and try to find something bad even if it's not.
Please take your own words to your heart, they are true also regarding our comments. Don´t hand out reproaches every time someone is criticizing a feature or change (or does it a second time when he/she has the strong feeling not to have been heard or understood the first time), or missing something (as in this case). We are here to share our thoughts, our concerns, our ideas regarding the game, and you must not necessarily like them - but you should be interested in them nevertheless, and players should be allowed to utter them without being suspected of only "trying to find something bad even if it is not".

Edit: Well, now I see the new announcement and ingame announcement regarding the peace time on New Year only. I don´t understand this decision either, and I think it´s even more confusion - but thanks for the ingame clarification.
