Last event started with a 40% off sale just before the event started.

If Gree expects anyone to pay for Greenland you need to offer the same thing.

A 20% off will not cut it, infact it would be an insult, the final one for me probably.

Everyone speak up with your opintions, remember the management team reads the forums.

Let them know you won't buy gold with out a 40% off sale!



Demand more for your money, DO NOT LET GREE DICTACTE WHAT YOU GET!

No 40% off sale, then no gold.

Gree get whacked with boycott, no money flow, then no management bonuses!

It all depends. Have the mechanics of battle changed to be stamina-based? Then maybe 20% works.

If it's exactly the same as Brazil then 40% is the minimum...you can still burn a vault in an hour or two. There needs to be a reality-check by the management team at Gree - this is entertainment, pure and simple. It's good entertainment, and I am willing to pay for that.

That said, I can watch TV in high-definition with every premium channel on Earth for A MONTH for less money than this game requires in six hours if I were to fight in WD to the maximum potential I'd like to.

Agree with Poopenshire 100%...throw us a 40% sale...many spent a lot during BFB and loads of complaints came in right after...don't think many will do like the first time around. Would be nice to know if the mechanics changed and what we can expect from Greenland. A sale would be a nice way to to get us going:-)

Ps hope ya doing good Poopenshire...great day to all.

30% would be a good compromise - anyways it looks like greenland is abandoned by everyone - gree, players, even white bears - so who knows what will happen this weekend.

40% minimum. Would like to see a 50% off to make up for some of the things that have happened lately.

How about 80% off?!? That would make it reasonably priced. I still wouldn't buy any but it would be nice for everyone else :)

it is bad enough having to buy gold units but when you are mainly a free player like me instead of spending my few pounds on units here and there i am forced to buy gold bullets for my cash and valor units which is a joke even at 40% off the gold :(
also my big iph i have worked hard on is now wiped out by a 100m volt ,so i will be going back down the pecking order there too :(

Nice idea. But why not just make the mechanic for the battles to be based on stamina. And be able to use stamina refills. The whole thing is nothing more than a hyped up group PVP contest. So why not just follow the same PVP mechanic and use stamina?! I'll tell you why... greed.

Im not buying until the mechanics are changed. I better get more than 4 hits for my refill. And I'm not buying even at 40%. I'm boycotting. Give me an 80% sale.

using stamina is a better idea but if they must charge for bullets they should at least make them affordable to most people playing .

I am waiting for discount! I want some gold but vaults are too expensive at full price, I think half price would be fair given the amount of issues there have been during and after Brazil.

Richie.
02-12-2013, 09:11 AM
50% would be more in the right area...considering you don't get much for it...4 extra hits :(

02-12-2013, 09:31 AM
I am with the group here. I also think Tctiger’s idea of silver would be an interesting enhancement.

Anyhow. Come on Gree!! 40% or even higher off gold is still a TON of FREE money flowing your way with many factions knowing what it takes to win! Valentine’s day surprise even?? :rolleyes:

I agree with NCP, Tiger and HGF69! GREE- time for a reality check, many of your customers (including myself) are starting to snap out of the matrix and realize... My real money should be enjoyed elsewhere (or even invested in real gold). I do thank FUNZIO / GREE for all the new friendships that MW has introduced me to~ Which I hold to be "Priceless" friendships. LoW out!

I suspect there will be a 40% sale. We are still a couple days out, patience everyone.

Your enthusiasm is compelling, but might be step back time. This is a game. You cannot, or should not healthily be pursuing, "total domination." You are forming external goals about what is right, and then are attempting to dictate to the figure of authority, in this instance Gree, what they must do to facilitate your needs?

I'll bet a lot of you have real jobs. Is that the way it works in your shop or other aspects of your life? Or maybe we play this game not learn about but escape from reality.

If they run a 40% sale I'll spend a week's beer money on some gold and use it as wisely as I can. If they switch to stamina, fine, I'll work it. At this point it seems unlikely they are making many, if any, changes. I'm gonna adapt and roll with the punches, and if there comes a time to move on I'll move on. It's a game.

Poop, my first post in a few days. How nice this is the topmost thread. This gives me big chuckle, lol, keeping up with the gang in the cove must be getting expensive for you. You have to beg gree to give you a 40% sale. 40%? How about 90% off like pj said at one point, if there is a 90 off thing, I personally would drop 10k real bucks on it to poo me up like a PIratE. Lol!

Only joking. :). 40% at least or my money gets spent on real things like fuel, chocolate, beer, scotch, pork scratching s, peanuts, tea, meat, more chocolate, chips, clothes, women, more women, even more women and of coarse, more chocolate! ;) lol. Ps, did I mention women? Lol

If Im not mistaken, the 40 percent off came with the very last dataset before Brazil and was available for 24 hours. It ended at 3 PM est the second day. Then went to 20 percent off for iOS for 24 hours, then 20% for Android after iOS expired. So I'm not expecting it until Friday.

Silver you say? Why i've never heard of such a brilliant idea :D (devilish Grin) Hopefully if enough keep pushing for silver it will become a new currency. Obviously i support this idea.

Also Alternatively Gree could #1 Change this to Stamina Based

OR they could also simply change the health Refill to 5-10 Gold Bars. That would keep gold at a premium but make using gold that much more useful. Gold doesn't even need to go on sale as it becomes 60-80% off compared to the battle for Brazil on JUST the WD event.

How about the reverse of brazil, now we got the bug, start with a 25% so all the golden armies out there get their fun in early and then do a last 24 hours 50% so the rest of us finish on a high too...

02-12-2013, 09:23 PM
Sticking to the tune of Valentine's how about 69% off? :-P

Or a cold theme like 1 kelvin which means -271 degrees (correct me, boffins) so 271% off?

I dont understand the concept at all of having a whole different currency. Will we need enough cash, enough gold for other things and also enough silver for something else.

You currently receive 4 shots for 25 gold. If you don't use them you loose them as far as I am aware.

Perhaps 6 gold per shot beyond the 4. I dont get the point of the argument that it should be called something else. The cost is 25 silver for 4 shots or 25 gold for 4 shots, what does it matter. As I mentioned the only other option is X gold per shot.

Unless all of you are heavy gold players, it doesn't make sense to complain about the lack of a sale in this event. You are not playing against a predetermined goal, you are playing against other people with money.

A player who spends $8,000 on gold benefits a lot more from a sale than a player who spends $800. A sale only increases the disparity between heavy, light, and non-gold players. If all of you complaining are heavy gold spenders, carry on.

Kj, I promise you those 800 dollar spenders want that sale too. It lets them make more hits, therefore more entertainment. Sitting around until your next free hit is boring. I don't think your point makes much sense to them or me. I think they know they're not competing at the top. They're trying to increase their results from the first event. Not compete with pun, ferr, or super. No one is keeping those who don't want to spend from spending, or maybe that's your way to allow you to keep up with free hits and no spending. I'm not going to twist anyone's arm to spend, or not to spend. If someone wants to spend, and wants a sale to give them their perceived value, why would that be an issue. If I want to buy a widget, and you see no sense in spending money on a widget, you have a problem with someone who wants to wait for a sale to buy the widget he wants, not the one you don't want.

I hope they provide a sale for the sake of all players willing to play this event. However, I have a bad feeling that they are going to push the limit and see exactly how much they can make by not providing a sale.

They might even try to maximize that profit by offering a sale on the 2nd or 3rd day of the event.

I was thinking they would play a little dirtier...do 20% off first, so everyone thinks thats the only discount...then come back Monday and hit us with 40% to suck us back in. Thats just playing on the value of 40 vs. 20.

Gree your communication is nothing short of horrible, I'm truly disappointed in how you treat your customers. WE ARE CUSTOMERS. I spent 5k with you last month, most companies would buy dinner for clients like that, wash their cars, or atleast give them a thank you call. All we are asking for is sticking to your word, listening to what people want and communicate with us, that alot to ask for? An hour before the event which you changed on us citing a rediculous holiday as an excuse and we know nothing about updates, sales, etc
