I mean, +2 buildings for top300?!?!?!?!?! This was a top50 box event prize ffs. Which people spent THOUSANDS for. It's reasonable to expect a nice prize there to discourage micro guilds, but devaluing other players literal years of work is not the right way to go about it. It's too good of a reward for too low of a rank. May as well just give it away to everyone, seriously not cool. Change it to health regen or something.
I hope they do!!! Health regen is worth way more than upgrading a few buildings at a time. Gold is not really used anymore, but health is.Quote:

Yes, change it to health regen! I don't even care about upgrading buildings anymore. When I saw that prize I thought it was a waste. Unit bonus means a lot more at this point.
Again, tone down with what you say lol...
I don't mind having more upgrades... If you didnt know, they changed the individual box event over time, no one complained about it now... so why make a big fuzz about it now? (not the same situation but you get the idea)
I vote for health regen too. Wait, this is not a poll...
I'm excited about the building upgrades. That's one of the modifiers I'm still missing. Still upgrading just one at a time. I hope they don't change the reward!
Whatever anyone says, giving out a past top50 box event reward for top300 is just stupid. I don't care if it has any bearing on the way the game is played today. It totally devalues the reward. And it's bad precedent. Why would you ever go for a box event now when you know it's going to be handed out on an f'ing silver platter in a couple months.
Because people like to have the shiniest new thing first. I swear Gree could offer up a half eaten ham and cheese sandwhich with a reward unit that gives negative 5% attack for first place and FUN would likely pile on the points just cause they wouldn't want to not have top billing.Quote:

Newer players could probably put that bonus to good use which I think is great that this bonus has become more accessible. It allows the players that can actually use the bonus to have a realistic prospect of earning it. Newer players can also catch up, in terms of building upgrades, to older players. But even then this is somewhat a moot bonus because buildings are far less useful than they once were. The only buildings that retain their effectiveness are the boost buildings.
So I think this is not imbalanced. Just accept it because stat inflation is far worse.
Well this game isn't exactly known for setting good precedents. Here's a better question: why would you even spend money on this game when you know a freely obtainable reward 3 months down the track will succeed something that costs a lot of money?Quote:

lol I wish Gree would do something like that. FUN will get weaker and weaker after each successive war and would have to eventually stop going for first place. I'd like to see how far FUN will go.Quote:

The +2 concurrent building upgrades isn't actually that much of a big deal anymore. Gold is only used for guild bonuses these days and once you hit a certain threshold the cost of the bonuses increases so exponentially that even having 3 gold buildings upgrading at once isn't gong to significantly impact the buying of those bonuses.
As much as I would love to have more health regen, I think it's pretty balanced as it appears. Not saying it won't get changed before the event, but that's my 2 cents.
Touché. I give up. It's a bad idea, and although I agree this isn't the first bad precedent... When did that become ok?Quote:

They deserve here and there some bonuses that they can use and worth something as energy or health or upgrade few buildings at once..Some kind of balance need to exist in game..
And i think here and there llp guilds deserve a chance to get cool bonuses..So i am and i suport this new order of guild prizes.
Please don't change them..Let's do something and for those that can't spend to much on this game,let them improve their game a little,they deserve it!

It's not the fact it's devaluing the top 50 box event prize but maybe don't you think the people that got it first time overvalued it by spending too much!!! Say an item on eBay is worth £100 but I bid upto £500 is this item then worth £500??? Noooooo

That's the game. Everything we spend money on now will be useless not too far from now. They will be overshadowed by prizes to come.
I like the prize because I was too cheap to buy it in the box action. :D
I would be livid if I was one of the people who did though.
I would plus 2 building upgrade is much better then +2 honors from fight. Anytime. IMHO.
You people dont understand whats happening here....my 2 cents for whats worth
A. we recently had a thread that people asked for this type of bonus to be givin out......gree responded by giving the people what they wanted
B. For those of you who spent tons of money on the box event version ....this was MONTHS ago....to be honest you should be done or almost done upgrading everything you can possibly upgrade....True??....i heard some people actually sold off buildings just so they would have something to upgrade!!!...i know how you feel....such a useless reward now that you have no need for it.....besides....upgrading buildings get you what exactly????hmmmm....more income...useless except for guild......i know boost buildings....honestlly if they are not done then you suck......Oh i know....BD run...oh wait dragons fell off the map eons ago......Machines...NOPE...they are worthless too....so what exactly are you complaining about???
C. this is a top 300 prize.....this is probably the most important one.....its a marketing thing.....Top 3 spend the most and will continue to spend around the same amount of money going foward.....same for top 10....top 25....top 50.....HOWEVER.....now they have givin the lower tiers of the guilds something they are and will pay for....they will now cash in on the lower guilds as well.....thats all its about ...MONEY!!!! gree needed a way to entice the lower guilds to spend...hence the raid bonuses this past war.....and now upgrade buildings.......its whatever....

E-I, with your llp you are going to stick with this game much longer than those with only 1 hlp..... Just saying the obvious.
