Hope it's a mistake, but it probably isn't. Syndicate icon says next battle in 10 days, 23 hours from now, which would mean the next war would start Friday, May 31st.

Yep. Terrible. And the worst 1st place prize ever.
Beat me to it i was just about post this
11 days look like this pattern no point complain
boycotts are never going to work until you boycott till they listen.
11 day break and 3 day wars? Good job GREEd on driving away your customers. It isnt even about the gold anymore but also just the unrelenting time needed to war continuously. Listening to your players? What a joke. You slap them in the faces over and over.
hahah.. for the rewards id rather be 10th than 1st.
Anybody know what the events will be
Stupid. Just stupid. One a war a month was perfect
Gree ... are you kidding me?
this is sweet. but id rather have battles every weekend
make sure you have them credit cards ready
whos butthurt?
That's an awesome idea...where is the suggestion box? Can someone from FCS point me in the directionQuote:

Well bala, we don't battle over there so MW could do it the same weekend and it wouldn't bother us.Quote:

gree's schedule for next war was probably planned several weeks ago. There will be no results seen from any boycott until next month.
Fight Club= 11 mil less IP than last war.
Sas= 11 mil less points than last war.
And these are merely two examples amongst all the syn's depreciated gold use.
The loss in profits from CC will be obvious to Gree. Personally, I think this would have happened whether there was an iintentional boycott or not. Schedule MW and CC wars in the same weekend and players will naturally have to chose one or the other whether gold is the issue or time.
I say kick back, relax, and watch the events as they unfold.
After all is said and done, the game is still fun. Isn't that what we're all here for?
Higher frequency of wars= less gold spent per war from all the syn's. Nobody is falling behind. Players adjust IAW their wallet, not frequency of wars. Everything "evens out" when all is said and done.

It doesn't matter if the syndicates spend 25% less if GREE has wars twice as often.Quote:

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.Quote:

Those top syndicates (FC, SAS, etc) can do that in about 2 hours if they so desire.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
I was just about to post this too. this is ridiculous.
I will never understand why gold buyers are called suckers, etc. No one knows their individual situations. Everyone wastes money on something...I think those guys who spend $500 / bottle on Grey Goose so they can get a table in a club are insane. How about spending $12/pack of cigarettes and smoking 2 packs a day? How about upgrading to iPhone 5, when you just upgraded to the iPhone 4s? Starbucks coffee every day (that's an extra $1-4 day x's 365 days)? I could go on for days.....Quote:

I wonder how long everything will continue to function for the most part over the next couple months, I just can't help but to be compelled.
If they paid some college student 15-20k a year to mod the forums and listen to customers they're ROI would be huge. Business is just run terribly.
I have a feeling that Gree knows the writing is on the wall as far as the end of this game. That's why they've been completing ignoring the player base and pumping out event after event after event, usually more than one event at a time. I can't imagine that this type of business model can be sustained long term - unless the heavy spenders in this game are so addicted or have such a huge sunk cost factor that they continue feeding into Gree's game plan. It should be apparent to everyone that Gree's primary focus is sqeezing as much money as it can from players while it can. The 24 hour gold sale Gree had at the beginning of the past war was a big FU to those who threatened a boycott. There was no posts or comments from Gree as to the reasoning of the limited sale period. For that matter, Gree doesn't have to say anything with respect to the game because it knows people will keep spending money on gold. Notice how the only time you see a post from a Gree representative is to penalize someone? At least when CM Mark was around, he gave at least SOME feedback, albeit minimal, as to what was going on behind closed doors.Quote:

As long as you choose (yes it's a choice) to keep spending gold on this game, regardless of whatever issues you might have with it, Gree has no incentive to change anything.
AFED no offence but i think gree knows more about buisness and revenue than you do.Quote:
