In the Netherlands we get so much less offers than in other countrys and since we are not allowed to use VPN, I think this is unfair...

dont worry friend, we are not suppose to VPN either, and those who use it do get in trouble.

I think his point was that different countries get different amounts of video and since VPN isn't allowed to farm videos, that gives people in some countries an unfair advantage over people in other countries.

But I live in the Netherlands and most days seem to get 5-15 videos on my phone and about half that on my tablet (and on my tablet half the videos bug and don't pay out).
Just to point out that differences between 2 devices at the same location can also be as large as differences between country averages... ;)

well then, if it makes you feel any better - i don't watch videos, because "watching videos" isnt fun =]

a lot of things people do in this game baffles me when they say its fun, really. =]

And, to be honest, the main driving mechanic that keeps people playing isn't being fun, but the addiction to make your armor better. its truely a gambling addiction people have with this game.

please, someone contradict me, and tell me what you Absolutely love about this game, and the elements that make it really fun for you.

I think that's why some people watch videos. I've made ~200 gems off videos in the past month. Joining a Top 25 guild can be around 200-600 gems and Top 10 700+ (with the exception of the Naga war, which people spent ~300 gems for Top 10). I didn't even watch videos every day, maybe three or four days a week on average. Watch videos every day for two or three months and you can join a Top 10 guild and run for an epic (given you're a high level and have some decent armors already). I know watching videos isn't that fun, but I usually watch videos when I'm doing something else on the computer or whatnot.

For some watching the vids is the main reason for them to get gems

oh - i totally understand, but you guys are moving around my initial question - and the main point of any video game - enjoyment. what enjoyment do you get by watching commercials for a few hours a day, wait no, let me rephrase that, the same ad for a few hours every day? i know people want to get into a main guild for one war just to get a war epic, but is it worth it? can you legitimately say, after the gem farming, one epic, and being kicked out of a big guild, was it worth it?

How do you END video abuse? well, I'll tell you. every day at X server time, you let the game reset a counter. and everyday, you have count = 10? watching a video makes count -1. dear god... im a monster...

I use the free gem feature also but as of the last 2 weeks every time I click it it forwards me to a video that does not pay and performs an endless loop over and over until I force close it anyone else getting this ?

Who said people are really watching the videos and not just running them?
I usually run videos on my phone/tablet while doing a boss fight or some arena battles on my account on BlueStacks (my BlueStacks crashes on popups such as free videos, so no video gems for that account...) or run a few videos on 1 device while playing another game on another. Just check in 1-2 minutes after starting the video to collect the gem and start the next. Mostly takes 5-15 minutes total before the videos run out for the next few hours.

PS, typo in the first line of your sig. ;)

I'm in the US, and my iOS offers are usually twice as many as my Android offers. :/
