You have a fun job, you get to sit back and get other watch others go at it . LOL. I consider WP a true ally in the game and we still go rounds at times. Wonderful thing about the forum is that you can voice your opinions (within reason/guidelines). Opinions are great things because yours can never be wrong as long as you believe it is true yourself.Quote:

I hope it is a level thing as the people I noticed saying they got a grunt was much lower than me. Now I would be more mad a getting a grunt than not getting the 10th item. LOL I went to great efforts in the recent past to reduce my ally counts wisely and I am adding them back in a controlled manner to see how things are affected.Quote:

As I said earlier - probably those people who have managed to get to 10 in all three events!Quote:

i voted for that option. I do believe it too. Free indestructible units and something extra to do for some extra fun. Funzio don't NEED to give events. but we have the opportunity for more indestructible units(: WHY NOT?!Quote:

I disagree they have to have them or the game would become static and they would lose many of the fringe players. Most of the people in the forum have learned many intricacies to the game, the normal downloader wouldn't invest the time or the research. People use this as an escape and for fun but, don't want to become a MW nerd. I started playing in Oct (maybe Nov) and thought my strategy was fundamental but, this place has enlightened me to the deeper side of the game. I have stopped playing COD Black ops and MW3 and play this game exclusively. I do invest a huge amount of my time (free and company paid for) and would like to see things work out better.Quote:

Dreno, I have to say that in this case, you just don't get it. We are talking about spending hundreds or thousands of real dollars chasing a prize that may not even exist. You simply don't have enough experience actually playing the game to understand the incredible frustration. Yes, for my LLP, the units are cool, but for my HLP, the bonus is the real goal. No unit I can buy will upgrade my buildings faster. That is worth real money to me. Go out and attack a couple thousand players, raid a couple thousand buildings, and run a couple thousand missions before you decide how worthwhile our opinions are, please?
The bonus isn't a guarantee, and shouldn't be. It's just an extra. It IS a gamble and should remain that way. It's your choice to use gold or not. I HAVE participated in events through CC a lot on my old account, i know how the event plays out.
I truly am sorry you did not receive the 10 2 events ago war priest, that sucks on how much you spent. The events are given just as an extra fun thing to do and keeps thing alive(: As always, they give the option to spend gold b/c they are a business. But since it is an extra and the thrill is the gambling and not knowing, it is stupid of them to give you certain opens they ensure 1 of the 10. Gambling is gambling, its not something required to be participated in, just something extra added in case you want to.
Don't say I don't know about this topic b/c i am a LLP, CC events work the EXACT SAME as MW events, I know my chances (which aren't pretty) and when I participated and got to 7, i was MORE than pleased. Those who spend gold ensure to open the box, but can NEVER ensure to open the RIGHT box.
Sorry you disagree, but I can almost guarantee Funzio won't change that factor of the events, its not the way the events (gambling) works.
Well that is your opinion, and I have mine... But like JP said, until you spend 200 dollars on just an event alone, don't try give us your speech. You would feel the same if you were in our shoes. Every single one of you...Quote:

Not sure if you put more money forth this event, but to those people who continue to throw away their money at these events, event after event, then come crying about it. It's no ones fault but their own. The drop rate really hasn't changed that much or even at all between events. Open rates have been weird, but that has nothing to do with someone doing gold opens. This is the third event and everyone should be well aware of how they work and have a pretty good idea of the odds for getting parts.
I understand how you guys would feel if you spent that much money. I understand why you'd want gold units and the event bonuses. But i don't understand why you'd actually throw out that much cash to do it.
Of course we have your opinions, i gave mine then all of the sudden you guys attacked it saying I was wrong and, in a way, ignorant.Quote:

I had opened around 35 lockboxes to get to 7 diamonds. That took about 4.5 days of the event. I used medium every time (once accidentally clicked FREE b/c it froze and i pressed twice, lol)
I never got one again and knew that would probably happen. I knew that gold OPENED boxes, but didnt increase any chance of getting another diamond.
Guys, all I'm saying is that the bonus isn't something that you should set into your mind as achievable, set it in you mind as a lucky advantage IF you get lucky opens.
YOU made the mistake in that amount of gold you spent when you should have just used that gold for something else. At least you know now not to spend all that gold in a gamble. This was the design of the events for a reason. The bonuses are an almost unfair advantage, heelll no they won't make it a guarantee no matter the gold spent. That's why it's a bonus(:
Not trying to argue, just trying to open your minds to their way of thinking and how to rethink your next event strategy.
EDIT: Thanks JMC, i feel alone trying to explain the events mechanics as a gamble
I am finished with the events for a little bit, unless they remove the grunts, or allow us to delete grunts. I got way too many last event...
Level up to 81+. No grunts.Quote:

oh ok, each event inflates the amount of threads and post by thousands of numbers lol. hard to catch it b/c NOBODY else seems to know lolQuote:

I just read your post again, and you also told us how we should be spending our gold, now and in the future. How very arrogant of you. Thanks. (*sarcasm*)
Nor have I attacked you. You sit there and still try to explain your thoughts after we tell you how what we feel is different from what you feel. What your saying is YOUR opinion, and I had stated mine.
I'm knocking on level 60, so it will be a while.Quote:

And yes, I AM saying stop complaining. You knew what the chances were before spending any of that gold, yet gambled it anyways. You can't put the blame on them for your decision. I do feel really bad you got it after the spent gold. I can only imagine how it feels b/c i'm not in your shoes. Just saying it's not fair to be mad at Funzio for this.
We shouldn't argue over this. It's unnecessary. Not gonna make you feel like I'm attacking you anymore. Sorry, guys.
On a side note: I recently read this thread and found out no more money buildings after 60???? :( :( THIS is something Funzio should change I think, lol
Events are okay but the timing of them has to be good for everyone and the space between each event should be 1 month I can't stand these events every two weeks just hard and ridiculouse
So you can get in one last dig insulting my intelligence, then say we shouldn't argue? Every post you make is making it worse, so I am done. You can reply to this one and get in the last word, don't worry, I won't reply. You win.
not insulting your intelligence, its you whose taking it that way. I don't like to insult/judge to people. It would make me feel bad. Already kind of do b/c you feel that way.Quote:

For me, I had to buy gold a couple events ago when they offered 20% less upgrade time. It was also a sale so I busted out my wallet. I think it was worth it, because I like the game and i think funzio deserves some money for it, just not ALL of my money ;)
But if I DIDN'T earn the 10 documents I would have been ( and probably would still be) pissed.
