There was never a boycott, there was just a delay in time until they used the same amount of gold as they normally would have. A short period of "abstention" isn't really abstaining if you splurge after that period ends. Whoever thought of and/or participated in that and truly thought they were putting it to Gree is a complete and utter moron.
They keep complaining, but they keep spending. The only way to prove anything to Gree would be to stop spending period, but there are too many people that need to keep trying to stay number one to maintain their online pride to do that.
And 75% gold spending 2-3 times a month > 100% gold spending 1 time a month. They may not have spent quite as much as the last ones, but Gree still pockets a large sum of money from the complete idiocy of putting 10 million points between you and and the next team down the ladder.
I agree with the first part of your post as I've already said as much earlier in the topic, but I don't believe you have any idea how quickly those top syndicates can score points in a couple of hours if you think 10 million is an absurdly large lead. Those top syndicates (FC, SAS, etc) can do that in about 2 hours if they so desire.
And those teams could also seriously sit out 3-4 wars to ACTUALLY prove a point to gree and still be stronger than the teams that got 1st/2nd/3rd place while they were actually boycotting. They keep complaining about everything that is wrong with the game, yet keep handing Gree their wallet, but there is too much e-pride in being at the top to actually do anything like that.
talking about gree slaps in their customer's face. Wouldn't gold sale for the first 24 hour only be obvious enough? Do you guys don't see it or just pretend you don't see it?
whats up with peoples bums...jeeees
Nevermind.....
I am sure the teams that were involved in the "abstention" bought up gold during the sale, but just didn't use it (or use it as much as normal since some of the involved teams were putting up 200k-300k battles in the first 24 "Gold Free" hours.... another point at how much of a pointless joke this was) until the 24 hours was up.
Also gold usage doesn't directly correlate to gold purchased. Sure the top teams had less IP overall, but that doesn't mean they didn't purchase a whole ton in anticipation of using more.
Will not be buying gold every 10 days or for that matter ever again. I will play for free and when that stops becoming fun I will delete the game. MW was screwed up at the beginning of battle and It has been deleted from my system. I hope the suckers who fall for this go bankrupt.
