From your idea of a "boycott", you obviously have no problem dreaming.

I guess anyone that doesn't agree with your ideas is a troll.

Maybe I'm just being dense here, but in what way is "top spenders spending half of what they normally do" equivalent to a 50% dive in product revenue?

For that statement to have any ounce of truth to it, the following statement would also need to be true: the top spenders are the only spenders.

So much for that argument.

Good thing you have that degree, as you will never be without something to wipe your rear with.

The proof in the pudding, we will find out on Monday...

I wish all of you the best in whatever you do, just don't forget to have fun while doing it.

As per the quarterly results report - "Overseas, coin consumption has doubled on strong performance from titles developed by GREE’s Funzio studio including Crime City and Modern War."

I'll ask again, I guess... So what will we find out on monday?

Am I in some sort of parallel herpaderp dimension today? English speakers need not bother?

I think I am washing my hair on Friday & maybe Saturday too come to think if it.

I just thought I would let you know.

Good shout.

Like I said when I started this thread I think this is a great game & I think this event is a positive addition BUT 2 wars within 2 weeks will turn people off of the game.

I pled with GREE to look at the long term - one every 6wks is respectable or the first Friday of every month???

But do you think they read the fourms ?

people seem forget these forums are for players not Gree staff which means we can complain as much as possible but unless you work for Gree or have access to senior management staff you are wasting your time. I am not trying put you down but some people need to remember it's up to CEO to decide how they run their business.

We might be slow, but we suck. :-P

As the original gold spender of CC, he's only bitter now.

agreed

Plus some

Must admit I do agree with the thoughts of the big groups on here regarding wars coming so often, I too
have a business and management degree and to be honest Gree's complete lack of understanding of
financial matters boggles the mind. Majority of people get paid per month at the beginning or end of one
month? fine for to have a war the beginning of one month then. They then decide to have another war
at the middle of the month, when everyone is spent up on things such as food, and utility bills and other
necessary payments to actually have a roof over your head and food in your belly so not such a good ideame thinks. For those who think that this will be a sustainable business model you are fooling yourselves
and Gree for that matter.
I love the game but I hate what it is becoming.

lulz...I guess when you own the company it's just like skimming off the top....pixels are cheaper than coke....sometimes.

Lol, you guys still going to buy gold like crazy. Gree knows this. They have no fear or concerns about any of you giving up your addiction. Egos,sense of entitlement , and need to feel special will be stronger than ever.

Where the problem is, is that any company is geared to take a temporary loss. It's Supply Vs Demand. They have the supply and someone will end up caving and going all out and buying gold. Thus, the demand will be there the second day for teams - even participating in the 24 no gold, to purchase enough gold to play catch up.

It's like the failed attempts to lower gas by having a NO GAS day. It WILL NOT hurt them because they know that you will need gas tomorrow to get to work, so if not today, tomorrow!!!

However, it's been pointed out that this IS NOT meant to cripple them, as I just showed it will not. It will get their attention and they will take notice of the drop in income. The fact that an Admin member already deleted the original thread and made note that he/she will bring these issues up, means that SOMEONE has seen it. Even if he's the ONLY person that does, when the gold isn't purchased and someone asks why, he will have to say something.

;) The top 10 syndicate prize is now 3% more IP? Did they just changed that or it's been there for a while?

I was wondering if that 24hr thing will be honored, it's just like prisoners' dilemma and the prize is so good.

Here is the estimate, considering a top 3 syndicate gains 20million IP in total and each hits gains 300 IP, full IP bonus 25%, ignore free hits, failed hits and wall hits (you can assume part of free hits goes to the wall, which makes our estimate here more close to reality). Then the gold needed to refill HP will be like 333,000 or 222 vaults.

However with additional 3% IP gain, IP bonus will be 28%, the results are: 325,000 or 217 vaults. I don't know how top syndicates value these gold, but any top 10 syndicate will save at least some vaults with that item.
