I woulda thought gree could make more money by putting this as a collect ten modifier. It would be a gold rush for players to get.

Similar to the recent coupe, everyone would rush to get it as a staple of the game. Only this time, make it on a collect ten with only 2-3 days to finish the event. Cut the time down. I bet people would drop gold on that.

lol told u it wont be just once .. it is a trump card, and they will use it over and again. when people are no longer lured by this +1 upgrade, gree will roll it out on multiple events to squeeze as much money they can. and finally, +1 upgrade will be so boring. then people will ask for +2 upgrade and gree will again do the same stuff they are doing for +1 upgrade. u don't really need to have a super brain to understand the game :)

Doesn't surprise me a bit after the crazy stuff between Rogues and SAS last time, which forced FC to respond. The change is merely an attempt to induce that kind of insane spend-fest again. Lol, you can see the designers/bean counters meeting in your mind's eye!

So, way to go Gree. Give a great prize to a syn (Fight Club, cos we know they'll be able to outspend the others regardless) whose members probably run their buildings up with gold anyway so completely pointless for them. :rolleyes:

Probably coulda got more money out of it as a second place prize. Since first place is locked up regardless.

Though you'd need a nice prize to give the cc gods as a trade off for first place.

GREE's shareholders must be demanding an immediate turn around on their falling stock prices, which have been on a downward trending spiral for a few months now.

I'm no economist but this doesn't seem like a great, long-term business model. The rich get rich, and the get poor get poorer... The game is already un-balanced enough. If they continue to make it more and more lopsided, people are going to lose interest.

Before the syndicates started this game was unbalanced because if you bought a few crates you were ahead of the rest. Now it is all about what syndicate you are in. If you are willing to buy 5+ vaults a month a top 25 syndicate will accept you and you will be above the rest. The price of power have significantly risen!

My main account is still very powerful and is better than 95% of the players at my level. My camper account used to be the same until the syndicate battles began. I was in a camper syndicate that didn't fight in any wars and by the end of the second war a lot of people were able to beat me. This is was lead me to be in an active syndicate.

you will never get to the top though KemoKidd. You dont have the modifiers that others have benefitted from

So true. I've never spent much, so I can't compete at my high level account. For me, now I'm just competing with my friends who play the game so we can give each other **** for things and making my hood look nice. Other than that, the interest is fading.

Not saying I won't buy any gold, but it seems that it's almost irrelevant at this point from a stats standpoint.

Well since your syndicate is full of cheaters who will get you to the top 25 by cheating anyway, what do you care? No need to spend money on Gold! Kinda takes the fun out of the game doesnt it?

1) My syndicate has ZERO cheaters in it, and we might not even crack top 500 this battle.
2) We partnered with the GoTTi's, but retained leadership. We don't condone cheating and aren't allowing any of the accused to help us get anywhere.

But please, continue your gross generalization of everyone associated with the GoTTi's as a cheater.

On that note...people who associate themselves with criminals, often turn out to be in fact: other criminals. Might want to disassociate and in a hurry.

I wonder, since the top prize is a +1 building upgrade and not the 'bling' car, if the person who won the last event and won the bling car is also a member of FC, would he be able to upgrade THREE buildings at once, stacking his modifiers?

Owning a movie theater of world class? With some effing excusive premiere with lots of show buisness star?

Lets be serious, the modifier is cool and all, but it's not really SUPER AWESOME. It comes down to how much cash you can afford to spend on your upgrades anyway. I know we all want L10 Movie Theaters and all, but if you don't even know what's playing at your own movie theater, what the point?

I couldn't disagree more! Having that top prize would be amazing!

Isn't RG, IN, SAS, IFM and CCB/SAS7 all going to fight for it? I know I would.

I know! Why don't the top players from each team all get together into one team and take down FC for it!

would you throw a vault at whatever event was having it as the prize, if you knew it would get you it? Just curious.

In the olden days I would have. The only events I spent serious gold on were the ones that could give modifiers, such as no banking cost, 25% less build time, or 30% less upgrade cost. I have one each of the latter two, and they make a huge difference to IPH and upgrading.

That said, the giving away of the exec coupe for free last month really burned me - I now would not spend any gold to get a modifier item because I know Gree does not respect the value of those items, and will give them away later down the line.

Just look at the building upgrade +1. I'm sure the guy who spent all that gold to open all the cases and get all the cups to win the +1 building modifier was expecting at least a couple of weeks exclusivity with his hard won item, before it was given to another 60 people who won't've spent nearly as much gold as he had to spend!! And yet no. Fight Club will have it in a few days!

Is the winner in FC? That would infuriate me....
