Petition for Gree to make the game fun again - last call !

[MoD]

To all Modern War players that are slightly or more dissatisfied with the way Gree is driving us to spend more time and money.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1pxJWQHuW5dAi7P3I5V8eER7P_Ub_T8AGX-pUZqijwPc/viewform

The link above will lead you to a Google form that you may fill in if you feel something's gotta change. It doesn't really matter at this point what you think has got to change in detail. This petition only wants to show Gree how many players are not satisfied and think of drastic measures (cutting back time/gold spending, quitting even).

I will post stats here frequently (no player's details of course) and at a certain point there will probably someone of Gree get in contact with us to discuss how to make this game playable again. And I think we are not really waiting for a forum admin here. Even if discussing with them would also be nice.

Please keep this thread free of trolling and offensive talk. We want it not to be closed and the issue is far too important.

There is a thread by Elite Enforcer for suggestions of any kind to make this game better. Please post any suggestions there. This thread is just to build up some pressure:
http://www.funzio.com/forum/showthread.php?77524-Suggestions-thread-for-Gree

I want to point out that I am neither a kid nor a dissatisfied free player. I spend at least 1k a month and got 2 accounts (both more than 8m attack) that are located in the constant top 25 faction Air Force Special Ops.

Feel free to give me input on how to improve this cause. For all the community!

Thank you,
MoD.


***** UPDATE *****
It has come to my ears that some don't like my petition because they disapprove the idea of a gold boycott. Well reading and comprehending is not everyones favourite, so i will clarify in short words:

THIS IS NOT A CALL TO BOYCOTT GREE, STOP PLAYING, OR SPENDING LESS OR NO GOLD. This is a petition to Gree to show them how many paying and playing customers are dissatisfied with the recent development. Nothing else.

Your tag line says it all.

"IT'S NOT JUST A GAME, IT'S AN ADDICTION!"

So, why would you want to encourage others to end up that way?

[Bobar]

Great initiative here. I think u express what a lot of players experience nowadays. I have been playing this game a long time, and it understand gree is a business, but they r taking it 2 far now.

Judas read d form, it does not tell players 2 stop playing, just 2 express their opinion.

Filling it out now

[Elite Enforcer]

Good job with this thread. I also have one currently for Suggestion. Make your suggestions there too.

[SPWD]

Think you need to edit the comments or put a list on that section and we can tick a box fir what we want changed.

Dreamin'.........................

Now I'm living in the middle of a dream
A dream with a little bit of fantasy

Dreamin', dreamin'
Dreamin', dreamin'

For the life of me, I never thought that it could be
The way it stands right now
Emotions running high, every night I wish that I
I would tell you how I feel

Those words are here in my heart
Oh, but there is just one missing part
How to put it together? How to say it right?
And let you know that every night

I'll be dreamin', dreamin'
Hopin' baby you will be there
I'll be dreamin', dreamin'
Hopin' baby you will be there

Let me take time out to try and find out
If this could be real
'Cause reality scares me, I've been living a fantasy
How should I feel?

Those words are here in my heart
Oh, but there is just one missing part
How to put it together? How to say it right?
And let you know that every night

I'll be dreamin', dreamin'
Hopin' baby you will be there
I'll be dreamin', dreamin'
Hopin' baby you will be there

[Dutchie]

Great initiative but sadly nothing will come from it and it will be ignored. However, I did do my bit and completed it with my comments that this game has become a chore :)

Judas, i feel some frustration with you. Please note that i want to keep this constructive and free of negative vibes. There's tons of threads you can post your feelings in. Thank you.

[MoD]

Thanks to all that replied so far. i will consider changing the comments section. But this is not about how to make MW better but to make Gree see an amount of players / gold they will probably lose.

[Lancerdually]

I submitted mine. Thanks MoD

[Flash0810]

I submitted mine.

[krill]

Mine has been submitted!

[ezmunie]

I submitted mine.

[Paiens]

MIne is done

[Crazy one]

Done mine, hope they gone change! If not, I will just quit playing!!
Cheers Mod, for the time you putt in this thread.

[SR9c]

Done. See if they listen at all.

[TonyB]

I used to enjoy playing this game. It used to be fun.

Now it seems that unless you spend a weeks wages in the game, you achieve nothing.
If you spend nothing then you will never achieve any of the in-game goals. As for wars, forget it. SUP have had that licked since the thing was conceived. Be they staff/hackers/or whatever, only a bucket load of money will give you any reward.

If things don't change soon I will simply jack it all in.

Perhaps this form/thread will help, but as mentioned earlier it may just get ignored.

[Paiens]

BUmp...this is good info for gree to have, hopefully they listen

[Sgt Squirrel]

Thanks for the stat updates MoD.
Be curious if your able to aggregate the comments a bit, realizing that it's manual though so could be some work.

[...BORIS]

Thank you.
That was a pleasure to complete.
I trust your data will accrue quickly enough so you can quickly have an impact.
I suspect the concept of fun is a very difficult one to manage, though that is why I play a game.
I have heard that 'Once upon a time' and 'Galaxy Truckers' are both a lot more fun than this.
I just need to get out of this rut...
And I will.

[MoD]

Thank you all for completing the petition. We have 200+ responses so far. The aggregation is in a spreadsheet, so I could get a good overview also of the comments. but I don't bother for now, as we should just get some data togheter to impress Gree a bit ;) . Will do more updates tomorrow.

[IKEA]

Great idea MoD i hope something good comes out of it..
I have been playing this game for over two years now in top factions. I love the game but its starting to get to much....

[DFI]

Thanks, did my bit. I'm not sure what the aim is re gold spend. It was a 40% sale month. Did you want to know on avg how much people spend, or when they do a big sale, how much a player spends? If the former, I don't think November was a representative month. I think you should also agree to delete any data you received within 1-2 weeks and not use it for recruitment purposes, etc. Or perhaps everyone should say their game name is Alex.

[marco99]

We need to change now!

[MoD]

The purpose of the gold buying figure is to make gree see how much capital is thinking about to quit the game or cut back. Sure, November might not be the most representative month but gree can figure out themselves how many % to discount.

As for the data: it is not intended to be used for recruiting. That would feel kinda strange. Also I will delete the data after this campaign is finished.

[mistergreen]

Sadly I feel the damage is done and this game can not be fixed.

[Arc Burn]

I have added my name. Already told my faction never again would I buy gold.

[Hooligany]

Gree won't care or mind. Else they should long understand the demographics that the high spenders fund the game n the mid spenders make up the bulk while the free players keep the game fun by having enough numbers to keep the game going. If everyone else quit, the game is gone with too little players left even if all r heavy spenders. We have almost reach this stage.
Top factions r now lack of players to even fill the factions. Some merge, some quit, some move to top 3.... How many top 25 factions now have a full team?

[MoD]

I updated the OP to show that this is not a call to boycott gree or spend less or no gold. It has never said so but some got it wrong.

[Beavis_1]

Thanks a lot MoD, I totally agree!

Submitted mine!

[MoD]

Almost 2 days through and we got 574 sign-ups on the petition.
