There is no need to be abrasive Sister; I wasn't attacking you or any other player. And of course I know that Gree does not impose the minimums, give me some credit. As of right now I will have to use extra gold to make my minimum. Until that changes my argument stands, in my opinion.Quote:

I wasn't attacking you either daddy, just the argument. And in my opinion it still fails. Gree don't have to take notice of some arbitrary figures decided on by sundry syndicate bosses, nor should they.Quote:

Fair enough Sister, we can agree to disagree. Lol. Make no mistake about it though, Gree DOES take notice of arbitrary figures used for syndicate minimums. That is where they make their money. I would bet you that they know the minimum requirement for every top 25 team and probably beyond, gathered through this forum and Gree players (which they are rumored to have).Quote:

I tend to agree with Sister here. LLP need to spend more gold to get the min, HLP need to spend less to get the same min. They contra each other on $ Gree gets from more gold spent due to the change.Quote:

Posting for reference.
Level 250 attacking mostly other 250's:
Last war: 403 average IP
This war so far: 340 average IP
Screw this change, I'm attack people with 100+ lvls on me and getting a max of 400 ip. This change is ridiculous and benefits the lvl 250's who no longer have to watch their xp. What's the point in being low lvl if everyone is gonna make the same ip on hits? Stupid move
Im glad I read first, this was my exact statement in less wordsQuote:

Perhaps a good question to ask would be how much gold (if any) do the low levels have to spend to beat epic boss 100; and how much level 250s?Quote:

Your new algorythm and the theoretical testing that went along with it are rubbish. I now am scoring consistent ip in this current war. I am scoring consistently less than ever before. Ergo, if you are trying to drive out all your non gold spending 250 players, along with the 250 players that have had it with you trying to squeeze more money from them, you are doing an excellent job. So keep up the good work. You will soon find yourselves out of work and I will rejoice in celebration with a bottle of Dom Perignon, where my money will be better spent.
The changes in the algorithm apply to everyone playing this game across the board. If you are scoring lower average IP so will other people. Maybe you should use your brain to logically deduce that this update actually gives higher level players an advantage as campers (low lvls) are scoring less on average.Quote:
