Encase the average free (no gold buying) person has not realized GREE could care less about us. We give them no revenue. So we get nothing in return. All GREE will continue to do is add events hoping the die hard gold buyers up their ante.

If in a faction with gold users, ask them to stop buying??? Hurt GREE where it counts.

I am all for paying a small amount to enjoy the game. But needing $1,000 a month to play is unreal. When I first seen the GREE gold buyers bonus club of players spending more than $10,000 a month. Really....wow you have issues.

Rant over.

Im in the same shoes as you are. How they choose to spend their money is their decision. My opinion is that it's a waste spending so much on some stupid pixels. Spend it on your family instead, deposit it in your kids savings account; Heck, even donate it to someone who really needs the money. Gree isn't a charity. They rip off enough people already

A lot of us have moved over to clash of clans. I can spend $5 and actually get something of value in return. Not 2000 energy which is nothing in the new ltq's

10,000$ a month might be insane to ppl like u and I but someone that has alot of disposal income its a drop in the bucket..take for instance going to a casino..i see ppl bet 10k $ on one hand and thats absurd to me but to them its not..never know what type of players we play with as far as income goes...i do wish the super heavy duty gold players would help us smaller guys out tho and speak to gree so we could actaully get some changes..as long as they look at a ltq or something and alot of ppl do it then they will not change nothing for us small frys

Thought about downloading Clash of Clans too. And how you can you resist all those commercials for it on TV or the 2 gold bar ads in MW!?

Wouldn't it be ironic if we all moved over to clash of clans.

As to the thread topic, this is not a free game. Maybe it once was but I can't truly remember a time where that was the case, however I have only played for 18months. If you want free games let this one go. They could cater for both free and gold playing but this would require brains and compassion. 2 things lacking around here. The community is great, but the management and direction is truly lacking.

I'd seriously consider finding a new hobby, id love to find another game where I could just roll my whole faction over into it as my boys r the only thing keeping me here.

I like Clash of Clans. You don't need to spend money to be competitive but it does help speed things up. Plus, you can get free gems in game.

I'm level 43 with a level 7 town hall.

Thief, yes there is a benefit to camping in that game. In fact you have to for a whileor you will be cannon fodder. Also upgrade everything you can before upgrade you clan castle. Its a fine game - but many coc players are also playing Samurai Siege. Similar game with Faction wars (which I think coc just added). Im burned out on both those games though.

The game was playable for free from Nov 2011 to Dec 2011. At that point the reality was you could not be very competitive, fast forward to today where playing for free means you are totally uncompetitive or at least never going to have a hope of being in a top faction.

Back in Jan 2012 I suggested that a spin off to this game where you only bought in up front would be better. As it sits now you cannot compete if you are free. However there are a number of things we have now that we didn't have before, mainly a chance to get a small amount of free gold through those videos when they work.

My off the top observation is that revenues are declining, yeah you have the top guys spending but I bet they are doing it a lot smarter then before when money was flowing at a crazy rate. Why I say this is because of all the cash grabbing events we are getting bombarded with. Seems more like a frantic attempt at trying to maintain some sort of performance number so that upper management is happy. Which IMHO is a mistake since all it is doing is burning out everyone the result being that folks stop spending or worse leave the game which shows up in decreased revenues.

I recall the argument that they don't care because they will just bring in new players, the reality with that however is that new players can easily build up a strong army by spending crazy cash because the stat inflation of the new units totally devalued Everyone's previous armies but are there that many more crazy spenders out there that will do this?

Same here, mainly because that main character was a rip off of Hulk Hogan, then the new guy who is a rip off of Mr T.

Not sure how topic got changed to COC but made me download game now. GREE should approve as they are the ones that allow you to watch for gold.

First thing I thought was "is that supposed to be Hulk Hogan"

If you are talking about clash of clan. I've only spend 20 bucks in that game, got to th9 (level 111), moving to th10 after this push. My faction are made of almost similar player like me who drop money on occassion and when we do a trophy push, we can easily net top 100 faction.

If you are looking to be top 10 faction, then yeah you need to stay online 24/7 and probably spend money too.
