The other thing you can do is do a review (if you haven't) or change your review (if you already have) in itunes and Play store... Not sure if you can change a review in iTunes, but you can in Google Play... Let people that are deciding on whether they want to download this game know what Gree does to the players that play it.Quote:

You all know what you need to do... It was done one before.
Gold is Gree's lifeblood.... Are you ready to join in this time fight club?
I'm not going to add anything that hasn't been said already but just add my name to the list of unhappy customers, I don't think I can honestly spend another dollar with a dishonest company, I play 3 Gree games and spend a lot of money, until now, now I'm Gree free. I hope everyone asks for a refund who can, I know I'll be writing to apple in a minute to begin the process.
Funny how Gree intentionally ignore this thread (after creating it) and ignore players voices.
No one wants your non-sense battle extension. Don't you realize that or you're too busy counting the gold being bought right now?
Is your company base in North Korea? Acting like in a totalitarian state is certainly not a solution, either for you or for us.
I will make it easier for you: http://www.funzio.com/forum/showthre...-war-extension!!
It couldn't be clearer that people don't accept your totalitarianism. Respect us and we will respect you. You guys are feeding your wives & children thanks to us, start having consideration for the ones feeding you.
The 6hr extension to this event has gone down like a lead balloon. Be interesting to see whether this decision will hurt their bottom line in the long run because I see a lot of unhappy players. (slow clap)
Why 6 hours... Extend to 1-2 days...
+1 to all the responses also please change it back please
what we need to do is get every player from as many syndicates to log a support call.
subject ............Syndicate name ..NO to Syndicate War Extended.
We All know nothing will change it will stay at a extra 6 hrs.
Why even bother to voice your disgust.
The only way it will GREE will stop doing what they like when they like & you swallow the bitter pill is if syndicate leaders pull together & don't fight the extra 6 the chances of that are a million to one as there will always be some ready to take advantage if that happened.
Basicly take it up the rear as non ones gonna change nothing with words alone.
Keep up the tremendous work Gree. Allowing me to play for an extra 6 hours ranks right up there with my other hobbies of wiping my azz with a cheese grater, eating pepper with my eyes and snorting caustic soda.
Can we also have a few more of those Syn v Syn things whilst ur at it - maybe 3 of em all at the same time. I love those a lot.
Oh yeah, I'm sure some people will keep playing. But GREE still loses gold. Question is, are the people who boycott willing to lose their ranks over teaching GREE to stop f-ing us over? It'd be a glorious day if FC, SAS, and RG could put aside their differences and organize a total boycott between the three...they'd still keep their respective ranks, just keep GREE from stealing more money.Quote:

Second the fact we are their customers and it is obvious the majority don't want this and no response so far.
Listen to your consumer Gree.... We are not happy with this poor excuse of a 'fix'
Work with us, not driving us away.
This would have to be the worst customer service I have ever seen... Period.
Gree you still have the time to correct this and gain a little respect back.
I wonder how many more stuff ups you guys actually think you will get away with before more of the big boys and medium loyal players like my self just walk away and find better things to do in their life that they are respected, valued and appreciated.
no good logic or reasoning what so ever on this extension apart from the OBVIOUS revenue raising. instead of rewarding us and apologizing to us for YOUR server STUFFING UP OUR weekend plans. you try to get more out of us ! how dare you be sooo arrogant and disrespectful
I personally usually spend some gold towards the end of every war. and guess what, will not spend a single dime on this one. and I hope everyone that has spent money contacts apple store and lets them know that the terms changed on them and they want a full refund, same as android users contact google play store and ask for full refund. they are not allowed to change terms and end dates etc just giving us a notice and they are not meant to have failures like this when they charge.. Keep your cake Gree and eat it you self's
Just got this email from GREE...Quote:

Happy bday Dutchie.
As a present I offer you my 6hrs extensions. That makes 12hrs just for you.
Gree, you f*ck up the weekend, lose a bunch of players and your income drops, so your remaining loyal customers foot the bill. This sucks. Pure, cynical, money-grabbing greed.
Any goodwill you had left with us is disappearing fast.
Have you seen one positive comment about this extension? No? I thought not. Now do the right thing and change it back.
Gree(dy), refuse this stupid idea and think about a compensation with gold. but however... stop this war without extension and do your work next time better.
I concur with the last 200 comments. In summary this is a bad idea.
+1, with one extra word: "very", you all can figure out where to put it.Quote:

Above and beyond the obvious 6 hour gold grabbing strategy - do think about the psychology behind the small group at Gree who made and implemented this decision. I'm no psychologist but I can see something mental in this story!
I believe too that it is a small group that made this decision - NOT the entire staff at Gree.
Personally, I would not employ them in my company. They would not have the requisite smarts required to work with, for or on behalf of other people in a sensitive, considered way.
So what is this small band of small-minded decision makers at Gree saying?!
1. "We're Fire Starters"
We suffer from a mild inferiority complex in real life. Knowing full well that it is beyond your control to change our decision is empowering to us. Sitting back and knowing there will be a reaction from you not only offers slight titillation.. but further strengthens our sense of control over you.
2. "Blame Yourself Not Us"
Vengeance is sweet. Several players complained about the Android issues (you're always complaining about something). It's been kinda fun to do something that we knew none of you wanted but which we could easily shroud in the message that it's something that we thought you Really DID want...l!!! Yeh - it serves you right. Don't mess with us as we can be really vindictive... but we're smart and clever enough to vindicate our vindictive action. We gave you what you wanted right?... nah - we gave you what we think you deserve.
3. "Do we Really Care?"
Nah - not really. We're not all that happy in our jobs, salaries aren't fantastic and life here can get tedious as well as stressful. To be honest - we get it in the neck from both sides... our management for constantly pushing us to do more with limited resources... and an audiences that never seems to do anything other than complain. Yes, we know our platform isn't very good, we know our company is flailing and failing... it doesn't make us feel good, it isn't fulfilling, there's no long-term prospects... It's just a job... we're unimportant... so it's important for us to tell ourselves that you're even less so.
4. "We're here to make a statement!"
We're not just kids… we're WHIZZ-kids! We're maturer than what you think, we have better personalities than what our boring jobs suggest, we think faster and deeper than you do, we're wittier than you, we have the power to switch off your light at any time, we can choose as to whether to ignore you… you pay money, your money pays us… !
Thanks Gree, it was really about time to again a) screw up technically and b) show your utter disrespect for your customers.
Anyway, I won't be online at the last hours of the war now. It's much to late at my timezone, and I have to work on Tuesday.
Great close the Battles when all my UK players will be sleeping thanks Gree, if i knew this i wouldnt have started wasting my weekend
The worst thing about all this is we wont even get a reply from Gree
They should just give the prizes based on ranking at normal close time. If any syndicate manages to rise a ranking tier during the overtime, then give that syndicate the extra prize too.
To be honest I think it's simply a case that very few people working on this game have a particularly good grasp of how it works (from a gameplay POV, obviously). It has been demonstrated repeatedly on the forums (incorrect statements about modifiers, suggesting to people to put skill points into A/D, arguing for the efficacy of defensive buildings, etc).Quote:

[nb. The obvious corollary of that is that in certain segments gold spend is down, and their attempt to 'let us play as much as we would normally like' in my example involves them wanting gold spend in those sectors back up to where it was].
I belive that happened in Mw not 100.% sure,there was talk of it. Think it did thou during a "holiday" war. Only fighting to keep there ranks when ones behind tried to use it as a advantage. That's the biggest problem some will use it to there advantage not eveyone has tandards & the prizes always will cause some not to unite.Quote:

BS. Is this game run from someone's garage...
I'd love if you posted the IP totals for top, t10, t25 etc for that war.Quote:

But now with this extra 6 hours 3,5 mil of points is a reasonable target. That means more vaults, vaults and vaults.
So thanks Gree for making my decision easy to not push anymore. If I wanna get screwed, at least I wanna enjoy it.
Thanks Gree you make it easy to empty my hood and never play this game again ,I hope your left with nothing but empty hoods.looking forward to living Gree free !!!
Okay, this is some pretty extensive feedback, and we're listening, but I want to be clear about something: The only reason for the extension was because we received a TON of urgent requests to extend the event due to the issues that hit earlier in the event. There was precedent, we had extended a World Domination event in Modern War at player request, for a similar major issue. We have also done this numerous times for LTQs, lockbox events, leaderboard events, and other limited time content across all the games, again at player request.
That may well have been the wrong call in this case, but the major concern then became that if we changed it AGAIN, that would be compounding things even further for people who then adjusted everything for the extra 6 hours. That is an equally big deal at this stage in the game.
We're listening carefully to all the feedback on this, and it may be too late to pull back the timer for this event, but we have heard you on this in regards to moving forward.
So where are these alleged players who asked for that? Don't see any in this topic or the poll thread.
Looks more like a lame excuse to me.
They were in the mass of tickets we received when things were briefly on fire. Again, from the feedback this was not a welcome solution, but that's the reason.Quote:

Anyway thanks for the spoiled gold this weekend...
Just a thought but maybe it would be a good strategy to post something about a planned solution/fix/change before it's implemented so you can get a feel for community sentiment.
