So if they repeat the prizes from now on, they will get lots of gold spending new players?
I'm not seeing it.

In-game event.
If you're going to use accomplices, use them for matching. You don't match 200 mil stats against 2 mil stats, so don't match 200 KP/accomplices against 2 KP/accomplices.

That's because they are now run by ex EA execs who think the EA way and EA players are the norm. Big mistake. Other top developers know they retain a large percentage of gold players and are much more incremental in how they ramp or change things.
EA churns and burns games/players . They have really failed at reproducing EA here which is good for players of app games long term. Not so much for gree and players here. That's gree's problem

Been that way since gree took over. If CEO still around he's ex EA. Funzio May have been started by ex-EA idk but they did a better job of metering out incremental changes and stat gains
According to a ticket I read they are eliminating stacked mods. Because stat inflation is coming close to maxing out in this app. So short term thinking leads to long term pain for game. Can't do another stat inflation round to try and lure new gold spenders. Incremental accomplices might have worked
That's why gree is not enforcing TOS. Sold high stat/value accounts are mostly bought by new gold spenders. Their only real source of new gold blood

What I can't believe is how a little over a year ago, they absolutely blew the roof off of stats.
At that time a few hundred thousand ATT/DEF was pretty beast.
A little more than a year later, Billions in ATT/DEF is where it's at.
Why would they explode stats like that if their coding couldn't handle it? To me, that is the real head scratcher.

Stat inflation is coming close to maxing out? There are people with ~3T atk in MW (that's trillions). Are the programmed differently? At some point gree will have to take the time and reprogram that part, if you are indeed correct.
I remember, once upon a time, we were limited to 30 hood expansions. When we asked for more, CJ said "it couldn't be done".

This doesn't level the playing field, nor does it allow anyone to catch up.
Why?
Only the top 50 prizes are not repeats, that means only heavy gold spenders are ever going to gain.
Like the bundles, cc has become all about buying stats rather than strategies or team effort.
