If you walk in to a restaurant you expect to be served and treated with respect and within a reasonable amount of time. When you go to the cinema you pay to get in to see a film and you expect to see the FULL film in high quality, not HALF the film with bits missing and a different soundtrack. If you buy something from an online store, you expect to receive your item soon and if there is a problem, you speak to customer support and have the problem solved.

I'm bored of coming up with examples now but IF THESE COMPANIES COULD NOT DO THEIR JOBS PROPERLY AND KEEP THE CUSTOMER HAPPY THEN THEY WOULD NOT STILL BE IN BUSINESS SO WHY SHOULD FUNZIO BE ANY DIFFERENT?!

I actually hope this gets deleted/locked just so that they prove what is more important on their list of priorities.

GOLD BAN FTW.

Well I'm a gold player, and I could really say I don't really have no issues when it comes to funzio... Only bad thing I can say is it takes a long time to get a answer from a ticket you sent it...

I agree fully, they hear us but they don't listen.

Let me explain y I'm upset ok.On the IPH event I never received my elite base defense. I gave them time to put it into my inventory, like most that did receive it. So I come along a thread that is NOT highlighted in any special way or color, like when they talk in forum it's a bright blue. The thread was not at the top of forum, I found it somewhere in the middle, and it basically said that they gave some people the unit and others did not receive it because they mess up and send a ticket to surport for a investigation to get what I won. Now I'm 2days late from the date that Crime City Mark posted the time limit, I still send the ticket NOT being rude to C.J. Asking to please take into consideration of my situation of being late( I'm a $100 a week paying customer mind u) and the same day I get the ticket back saying sorry better luck next time, to myself I said WTF I did not try to open a crate, where is the unit I won? So to me that is so disrespectful as a customer and they just don't give 2 sh!ts on how I feel like I got rob.

So that is y I'm mad, not at any gamers because everyone give me info and surport more than the muti million dollar staff does. Have a beautiful 4th July. I'm done.

GOLD BAN FTW.

It's pretty much pointless. Millions play this game, and very few are forum members. If ALL forum members played gold ban, they would probably only see a 1% drop from average income. Not even enough to make a difference.

Some people are happy with the game, that's why they're buying gold. I couldn't bring myself to buy gold with this itunes card I got during the last gold sale, even though I had planned on it for months. I have two event prizes with bonuses that don't seem to work and then the new KA event came out and it seems like a sign of things to come for MW.

I'm not calling on anyone else not to spend their money, but these are the reasons I haven't spent mine recently even though I had looked forward to the opportunity for months.

If all the pirates and other heavy gold players are participating in the gold ban, the revenue drop would be pretty significant. Millions downloaded the game. How many actually play is probably in the tens of thousands. How many have spent even $5-$10 even less. The amount that spent more, again even lower.

These guys make up a small percentage of the player base, but make up a huge portion of the income. Funzio has probably taken in over a million dollars from those few dozen alone.

Very good points JMC and I really hope that the forum members that agreed to the ban will continue with it. Do you know if some of the heavy gold spenders are continuing the ban? I know that I certainly am and will continue to do so until they fix a lot of the issues we expressed. Has anyone ever heard from CCMark, or anyone else, regarding your suggestions/complaints? I see that that thread is pretty far down the topic lists.

Do they even buy gold anymore? I doubt it. What would they use it for?

That's why I found Speed Umps Gold Ban post so funny. He had already spent 10K+ and have more than 2000 gold units. He doesn't need gold anymore.

They've gone inactive from the forum lately so i'm not sure if they're continuing their gold ban. Haven't really checked in on them either.

They do. When all their units are gold, they actually do spend tens of thousands to purchase a few hundred stronger units that are valued at 900+ gold. That was a little while ago though, have not checked in on them since the gold ban.

Thanks for the update JMC, and WP, while we all truly appreciate your input, and im really not trying to sound pi**y, sometimes lately it seems to be a little condescending. I was hoping to see if ANYTHING had been heard from Funzio/Gree about the issues. It sounds like NOT, once again....

Im good at complaining but I have realized it does not get you far here.It's understandable, they have done some cool stuff, and this latest event was a good idea, just poorly executed, which unfortunately is a repeated pattern. This game is different than any other I've played on the iPad. I started with a lot of the Glu games (if anyone else is familiar with them) but got bored because they didn't expand much, and a couple were impossible to continue without spending real $. This game is challenging, but not impossible, without spending real $. Takes a long term strategy, but that is part of the fun. All these bugs are very frustrating, but I have hope they will eventually get it all straightened out.
