I have amended the 'deleted' thread - I hope this is now within GREE's posting guidelines.

**** Please note this is not a boycott. This is an invitation for like minded members and syndicates to join in our voluntary abstention of buying gold in the first 24 hours of the war ****

Guinness

The top groups in this game, those who are paying more than 1/3 of the money into each war, have collaborated and decided to put our collective foot down. We are tired of being abused customers with poor customer service, tired of being pitted against one another for Gree to make exuberant profits without returning a worthwhile product. We demand a representative of Gree establish an open line of communication to resolve a number of major grievances. These include *but are not limited* to the following:

1. One war a month max. The frequency of wars and the money required just to tread water against the other groups is unfair.
2. Better handling of cheaters, glitchers, and hackers. We have proof that you have continually allowed proven hackers back into the game because they spend gold, while allowing their hacked inventory to remain. This is unacceptable to those who are paying to keep up.
3. Return the gold bonus to being vault oriented. With the amount of money being dumped into this game, the way the program was changed in the cover of darkness without alerting the members is unacceptable and raising the requirements for bonuses only robs players of more money than they are already dumping into the game.

All of these will help the product remain profitable and sustainable over a long period of time.

As a show of our ability to work together and take back the game as paying customers, we will be participating in an 24 hour gold buying abstention for the upcoming Chinatown Throwdown and will coordinate our gold efforts for the remainder of the war to reduce costs. This will be our first measure with more to follow if our demands are not addressed.

We offer any other groups who wish to participate in this petition to sign below and signify your participation if you would like to opt out of participating in the buying of or using of gold for the first 24 hours of the upcoming war.

Signed
-COLD Karma Mafia, Famous When Dead, HellCalls Group, Henchman's True Calling, Infamous Syndicate, Indian Nation, Silent Assassins, Sunnyvale, The Buckwheat Connection

Note: FC is a signatory to this petition, was instrumental in its formulation, and supports its cause. They have elected to hold the fort at the number one spot and will be limiting gold expenditures over the first 24 hours to only the required amount to maintain such position

As the leader of Band of Brothers we will be discussing this today and see if we want to participate in the voluntary abstention. My personal feeling is to support this but won't officially until it has been discussed.

I read that to mean its business as usual. If the lowers wanna spend less and make less work for us then good for us. It'll give the illusion that we are participating in this. Otherwise, we're spending as much as needed to hold first place. Boycott or not.

FIGHT CLUB did not sign any petition. Nor were we instrumental in this group. From the start of being invited into your chat, our stance was we would try to win #1. We try to get a comfortable lead and if no other team pushes us we will stop. Other teams expenditures are up to them. Not us. Our position on this has not and will not change.

We play the game to have fun and to win. We are going to try to win again. I hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoys the battles. I know I will.

Montecore, i see you've been getting bitter because silent came second last war after spending so much money, but gree loves you all.

Now op you a bit stupid making a thread to abstain only because you don't get paid till Saturday.
If you were any serious in your thinking you would have deleted the game counted your loses & moved on but not once but twice had the urge to post a thread with no base on why anyone should abstain & what are you trying to achieve in not buying gold for a day.
It hardly cost gree much putting a number on a drawing and coding it to the server so even if 50 vaults are sold in the one day they still make profit.

Now stop crying that you have no money till Saturday to buy gold as we don't really care to be honest.

Look the members of fight club worked on this with us in a group chat. We came up with a plan and they are on board. They have been the number one team in each war so I do not blame them for being cautious as they have the most to loose.

As much as our groups have had contentious relationships, this agreement was developed by all

Senator McCarthy
05-16-2013, 01:58 PM
I don't think Gree cares or take the threat seriously yet to even try to break the gold ban (sorry voluntary abstention lol) with 40% off.

The Top 10 needs to do something more drastic if you want Gree's attention, however, if Gree responds with a 40% off due to the efforts of the top 10... I personally thank you. I will be loading up on gold.

Robert Egan
05-16-2013, 02:00 PM
In all honestly, "Not spending gold for first 24 hours" is kind of irrelevant considering a good portion of the gold that will "not be spent" has already been purchased....

I think gree need some attention from us.
When the boycott not helps, what do we then later? We are the customers and spend much money for this and i am awaiting more from gree and the support.They should finally listen what we want.
Maybe is it not so, but i think gree loose everyday some gold or free players.I like gree games and have spended enough for this, but for me personally is no go the new bonus program and so frequently events in the last time.One in 4-5 weeks is more then enough.
And i wish me the old bonus program back.Thanks

Hey all, why not just stop buying and only use your gold in hand? Considering the rate of stats inflation, any gold spender would be able to catch up with stats/modifiers quickly.

And if anyone worries about getting robbed...why do you even care about in game cash anyway, just take a break and get some real life, it's just a game...

I'm not being a troll, but honestly, why would gree care? They know that everyone will just boost their gold usage 24h 1m later, so they don't lose. It's synonymous to the boycott on gas for a day a few years back. The oil companies knew that gas would be bought in good quantities the day before and the day after. Even though it caused an impact, it was nominal and manageable. Business went back to normal and the oil companies still did what they wanted to. #SameThingHere

It is a symbolic action - not to damage the game but an attempt to show GREE that we are not happy.

In the long term happy customers will spend more money

Exactly: Exxon Valdez boycott, result to Exxon a gnat on their arse. BP Gulf disaster... nada butkis even in short term.

Only one I can think of that worked was Old Coke vs New Coke. But here's the catch: New Coke wasn't bought.

Everyone of the top dogs has gold in inventory, will reload on May bonus, blah blah blah. Not buying in June might send the msg but not the way it's intended to work. If NGF is top of leaderboard for more than 24 hours then maybe a msg will be given of sorts.

On a different note.... I hope Gree reaches out to the players and does make a legitimate effort to be more attentive to their customers ....they are about to enter into one of the least profitable quarters and their earnings will certainly drop once again

( as a matter of practice, summer months are particularly tough for online gaming companies as many of their consumers embark on vacation or simply want to enjoy the good weather and not sit inside playing online)

First, it's not a problem if gree makes more money in the end. It was meant to show unity, not to hurt gree. We just wanted to make them listen.

Second, I don't know for the majority but for some of us it's easy: Feeling pissed of by this gold sale timing enough not to buy any gold in this war at all (as an individual decision) ...

Don't get me wrong... I support the sentiment of what the top 10 were trying to do but not the method. The whole "not buying gold for the first 24 hours but wait... when does the 24 hour start... does it start when battle starts or the first 24 hours of the day of battle" was a joke

The intent of not buying gold was to show gree that the sale of gold goes down the first day as a protest against constant battles... but if the goal now changes to some communistic "solidarity" thing this whole protest was a waste of time.

You want to do something serious... get the attention of the Japanese division (main headquarters). If the top 10 wants to play hardball... I am with you... but not patty cake.

Don't get me wrong... I support the sentiment of what the top 10 were trying to do but not the method. The whole "not buying gold for the first 24 hours but wait... when does the 24 hour start... does it start when battle starts or the first 24 hours of the day of battle" was a joke

The intent of not buying gold was to show gree that the sale of gold goes down the first day as a protest against constant battles... but if the goal now changes to some communistic "solidarity" thing this whole protest was a waste of time.

You want to do something serious... get the attention of the Japanese division (main headquarters). If the top 10 wants to play hardball... I am with you... but not patty cake.


Patty Cake!!!! Love it

Ultimately, top 10 is all sitting on bonus gold that was paid out on the 8th. If a true change was desired, no gold for 40 days would send a message as that would also take them out of getting bonus gold for the following month.

Now top 100 with the same goal..hmmm...might have been interesting...

So, patty cake is pretty accurate. Fun to watch though.

Lmfao shill much?

Look at your posts shamelessly promoting buying gold when your join date was yesterday

-I'm off to buy 14 vaults while they are still on sale! Got to get that bonus baby!
-I don't know about you, but I'm buying gold while its still on sale!
-I will now since I bought my sale gold!
-I'm just grateful that they have a sale. Otherwise I would have gotten less than I did. I'm ready to kick some b!

If you truly are a GREE employee or affiliate, it's just disgusting that they would employ such tactics. Your join date and posts scream it.

Free hits only for me for the first 24 hours for me.

I will spend my money on gold there after as it is not my ambition to damage the game BUT I really hope that others stick to this and GREE take notice that there is a lot of unhappy customers.

The table won't lie so please be united.

Well, well, well....

Looks like Gree is rising to your challenge as it offers it's sale for the first 24 hours! God, how I would love to see the report on sales to the Top 10 teams and those who have said they will boycott!

Can only imagine how many of you have broken your promise!!! LOL ---- oh yeah, see part III of the story as noted below!

Hey all, why not just stop buying and only use your gold in hand? Considering the rate of stats inflation, any gold spender would be able to catch up with stats/modifiers quickly.

And if anyone worries about getting robbed...why do you even care about in game cash anyway, just take a break and get some real life, it's just a game...

You gotta buy spreads...no more deals coming anytime soon

We signed on as completely no gold first 24 hours. Not backing away from that pledge but will admit its hard to get 60 people to resist temptation. No excuses for that...my mistake

Separate question.. Did I misunderstand your folks intention to put up a 4 million lead and hold? I knew you folks didn't trust us so thought the four million buffer was agreed on.

My misunderstanding if so

I agree it is hard, but I also find this fun, it shows how determined our syndicate is !
We've done great so far and it's nice to see where we stand if we were all free players ( with decent stats)
Top 100 isn't bad at all. This is strengthening our team.

It's a shame some groups that signed this treaty have broken their pact ( FC excluded). FC did agree to a 4 mil lead... They did loosely agree I might add so I guess we can't hold them fully responsible.
To me it seems like they are threatened by SAS. Otherwise they'd join this treaty as they have the most to gain from it. Gold bonuses are what FC is made of
Tomorrow at some point you will see the leaderboard change.... Watch out cc the assassins are coming!

Conservatively I might add :)

I've always liked you and was just trying to give you a hard time and completely understand how a little gold might be spent. I'm really not trying to make a big deal about any of this. You were given bad information if you were told a 4 million point lead. I'll be happy to email you screenshots of what we said we would do. We said that we would get to a comfortable lead and have the other teams that number, which we have honored. 4 million can be erased I'm 2 hours if another strong team gets 2 good matchup and we got 2 bad ones. Everyone can wonder why we don't trust some of the other teams, and they can keep wondering. Their is enough history, past and present, that it's enough reason for us to not trust some of the others involved. I hope that your goals are met and I'm interested to see what the top 10 point totals are once the handcuffs are taken off.

Wow assumed they would throw up another sale. Guess they are sending the top guys a message. Now to see how you respond.

I for one was going to buy some on any new sale (only because I didnt get a chance to get cards prior to the end). Not sure now. Gonna see if they throw up another sale this weekend. If not, I will spend last months bonus over time (got buildings to buy as LLP) and call it a day on spending in this game.

Yes, you make perfect sense. Boycotting purchasing gold for 24 hours will, I'm sure, make them listen to you. Could you also boycott Starbucks for charging 45 cents per shot for each latte? Or for that matter, could you please boycott my bank for charging a $6.95 monthly processing fee? You'll be my hero. (True story.)

If I was a top syn and this is how they responded I wouldnt buy the rest of the weekend unless they throw up a sale. Buying 2 more vaults if there is sale, probably not buying ever again if there is not. Not a big fan of being told to F off.
