I do not understand all of these players worried about this system gets this or this one has access to this. It is fun to watch these supposedly "smart" players throw their money away on a game that gets them what? I guess they can brag to their buddies at the bar or at work I only spend thousands to be in the top 2 or 3 in Modern War lol. Wonder how many of them really tell anyone they know that they spend thousands on an app. It is only a game man chill out!

Yes, but is it fair? Minions get their gold bonuses and the leaders/high rollers get
their kick backs and stock options. Shills get their pay checks and you...well...
you get the SHAFT!

Don't beat yourself up over the fact you can't afford to play with the big boys.

if your smart enough then a light gold or even a free player can kick it with the medium gold users. the heavy spenders are strong and i dont like or hate them for it, life throws hurdles at you and instead of bashing thru them with criticism and spite you end up failing, jump over and accept that people spend money on apps that wont be remembered in history. let everyone play and have fun....

This game is expensive and I'm grateful I don't spend money on it.

The gold requirement to instantly finish buildings, to buy these limited units is just plain ridiculous. In effect you want me to pay... $50 for a unit? What? That's ridiculous.

I wouldn't be opposed to spending maybe $20 or so every few months on this game. But $20 won't buy ****. I'd have to spend $100 to instantly finish my vault (are you f-ing serious there????) or $100 to be able to afford stage 5 or 6 upgrades for mt LE buildings... again, you f-ing serious?

The costs in this game are completely crazy. Units should be a few bucks. Maybe $10 for the really, really powerful ones. $5 to finish a vault on the lower levels, MAYBE $10 at the very high ones (say passed 50 million) and stuff like that. But $100 to finish my vault? No way.

It is... not a wise use of money to spend so much. Even if you have the means, doesn't mean it's a wise use of it. Or even a good use of it.

You are right, it is expensive. That does not mean, however, that poeple won't pay those prices to try to be the best. The reason for this is everyone has the option of spending money on whatever they chose, and whether its "wise" or not is entirely up to them. For the record, however, I agree it is silly to spend money on this game.

Youre not entirely wrong, but as has been said before, why do people worry so much about how others spend their money? Ever go to the movies? Kinda dumb to pay so much for a drink and popcorn isnt it? In fact, why not just wait for the movie to come out on DVD and save 50-75 bucks? Ever go to a ballgame? Kinda dumb to pay 10 bucks for a beer and 5 bucks for a hot dog isnt it!? Any of you have a wife/gf who spends inordinate amounts of money on shoes? Seriously, isnt 3 pairs enough!? Any of you pay 100 bucks a month for cable TV? What a waste! Alright, i could go on and on, and im just being sarcastic because how others spend their money is none of your business. Besides, some of us who do spend a decent amount arent spending more than a few hours wages monthly. We just dont all make 12 bucks an hour.

ghandi couldnt have said it better himself. what is this obsession with peoples spending on this game? people are entitled to do whatever they want to so long as its legal (ie NOT hacking) and spending is not illegal, its an advantage. so, spend away a hundred a day, i dont mind just dont go bankrupt.

Interesting that because someone criticizes spending money = they're poor. Very interesting mindset.

It's less about spending the money as the sheer price of the units and whatnot in the game. That's the point. I said I'd probably spend money on the game... but it makes no sense and is silly to spend $50 on a unit that isn't all that great.

The current most expensive gold unit is: Wolf Combat Unit 682/510.
The cost is 850 gold. That is over $50. For a unit that can't add all that much to the stats of the people who would actually buy it.

That unit should maybe be a few bucks, at most (like $3 to $5). Hell, I'd think of buying it if I only had to spend $5 on it. Most likely would.

To finish upgrade my level 3 Chemical plant to level 4 would cost 300 gold at this point. $20. To upgrade a measley chemical plant from level 3 to level 4 for an extra $200,000someodd amount in cash per day. $20 or that? WTF? Really?

It'd cost me about $70 to finish my vault in an instant. $70 for an instant vault finish, of which there are 8 more to finish before I max out. I would probably pay $5 for a complete finish at the start to save a week. Maybe $2 now.

The point is this game is ridiculously expensive for relatively little gain in game. And those prices are based on buying the 1,500 gold bars for $99.99 and getting a lot of them free.

A hundred bucks should get me 15 THOUSAND gold bars. Not 15 HUNDRED. That's just Gree taking advantage of peoples' competitive spirits to an unrelenting, ridiculous degree.

Look if you have the money to spend (like truly have the money, as in your pay all your bills and max out your retirement IRA and whatever) then good for you. I'll be honest and say I don't have $100 to $300 to blow on this game every month (nor would I want to even if I made double my salary).

It's just the amount of money spent to reward is so ridiculously low. The game needs to be seriously like 10x less expensive. Most gold units should cost no more than a few bucks USD.

And it's not just the cost. Look. The game is fun. But Gree is so lazy. Their animations for the attacks, whether it's a humvee or a Osprey or a helicopter are identical. Half the time the animations aren't even accurate. The attack animations in this game are so ridiculously lazy... why would I want to pay for that laziness? The vast amounts of money spent on this game doesn't seem to be doing anything to improve its quality.

PS: Who spend $75 on a movie? What movie theater are you watching at, what are you watching? Avatar in Super IMAX 5D with Timetravel with truffle butter popcorn and gold goblets filled with champagne??

PPS: I like the game and will play it. I'd spend a little money on it if there was bigger reward for the expense. But $50 for a unit that would add less than 1% to my overall attack and defense is just... lol, not even funny. It's just a poor use of my money, and my bet, 99% of the people who play this game money.

Hi, my name is McDoc. I am a game-a-holic - and addicted to Modern War.

Like has been said many times before - this game is for entertainment - and some people just have a little more disposable "fun money" than others. Whether I go drop $1,200 on the craps table or spend $25 on a carton of cigarettes is my choice and my prerogative.

Don't be mad at someone just because they have the means to play the game on a different level than you can afford or imagine - or that you can justify. It is not a judgement on those who can and those who can't - just a reality check that different people are at different comfort levels of how much they are willing or able to spend on entertainment.

The Factions are the most basic economic example of "Water will seek its own level" - and why the current Top 50 teams seem to always be the same Top 50 teams. I find it funny when someone posts on my wall "We could use someone like you. We are a Top 1000 team but with your help could become a Top 500 team" - only because - people will only reach goals as high as they set them.

Aim high my friends!

Wasnt really my point. My point was that you could say the exact same thing about thousands of things people "waste" their money on. Casinos, bars, cigarettes, tv, sporting events, etc. But people should be able to spend it on what they enjoy.



It's less about spending the money as the sheer price of the units and whatnot in the game. That's the point. I said I'd probably spend money on the game... but it makes no sense and is silly to spend $50 on a unit that isn't all that great.

That unit should maybe be a few bucks, at most (like $3 to $5). Hell, I'd think of buying it if I only had to spend $5 on it. Most likely would.

Cant really disagree, but i feel the same way about a lot of things. It's still MY choice whether i want to spend MY money or not. Who's the real "dummy", someone spending a few hundred a month on this game, or the guy spending that much on cigarettes or alcohol? Maybe we both are, but if its disposable income, why worry....as the thread title suggests 😉




Look if you have the money to spend (like truly have the money, as in your pay all your bills and max out your retirement IRA and whatever) then good for you. I'll be honest and say I don't have $100 to $300 to blow on this game every month (nor would I want to even if I made double my salary).

Cant speak for anyone else but dont worry about me. No CC debt, maxxed IRA and decent 401k contributions and have never missed a mortgage payment, and id venture a guess that most people "wasting" their money on this game are in the same boat. In fact, this is where i agree with you. If youre missing rent/mtg payments, or have loads of CC debt, this might not be the wisest of spending decisions, but id hope people werent spending their kids lunch money here.



It's just the amount of money spent to reward is so ridiculously low. The game needs to be seriously like 10x less expensive. Most gold units should cost no more than a few bucks USD.


My last comment on this, but again, the same can be said about so much crap we spend money on dude. People give me shiznit about my daily Starbucks...why ya spend 5 bucks on a fufu drink when you can get a regular coffee for a buck? Um, cuz it tastes great, mind your f'en business 😛. People are funny though, they rarely look in the mirror before criticizing others. Im sure you spend money on stuff that *I* think is a big waste of money too. Only difference is i wont go over there telling you youre an idiot for it.

Most of the ones criticizing gold spenders are the ones who cannot, and are jealous because of it. Demeaning those who do seems to make them feel better somehow about their own situation. Some just can't spend as much as the top guys, so criticize the amount spent. I've always said, play at your own level, not everyone can compete with the top players. I have multiple games at varying levels, and I do not have the desire to spend at the top levels on all the games, so I have to adjust how I play based on what I can do with each of them.

I was not knocking anyone for spending what they want to. Dare I say all of us spend money on something or things they shouldn't or that the money might be spent elsewhere better lol. I am tired of those who worry that someone "might" be getting something they are not. In life I have found u might get an advantage here but the other person might get an advantage over there. It all comes out in the wash lol. My point is that this is just a game and each person puts into it what makes them happy.😊
