They should rename this game to "MODERN BAIT & SWITCH"!

You're correct of course, but what are the chances of a top 1000 team getting anywhere close to finishing these goals; there's a reason why they're top 1000, lol.
Gree would probably claim it's an attempt to control stat inflation and the possibility of top players running into the buffers on their stats (again?). But those problems only exist because of previous short-sighted decisions made in order to suck money out of those same players whilst the game architecture had only limited capacity to cope with it (the same issue that continues to affect the mining rigs at level 14 and above, etc)
Would the game exist without the spenders? Who knows; it certainly won't be the only revenue stream Gree has. I bet they get a fee from Tapjoy to run the free gold offers in game. In any event, this game and the others got along quite happily on a lower level of spending before factions/syndicates/guilds were created to suck money from the concept of player created groups which were in all games - eg, Pirates in MW; Indians, CK and others in Crime City; Royal Knights etc in KA.

gree make shed loads selling data to google apple and bob at the burger bar and anyone else who wants to know what time u all brushed flushed and gushed. and long after u hv uninstalled their leftovers keep on logging and raking them cash. tapjoy installs leave so much cr.p behind u wld think the dog pound just dumped the weeks poop on ur yard allspyware and 100s of permissions just to try start and keep running for 60 minutes so we can upload your personal data while u think its a slow data push. all these companies are raking it inwhile players work hard to try beat ltqs and just play the game for trash in return.
All you addicts just keep tapping until further notice!! One day you'll wake up
I've inquired about this and I'm waiting for an answer for you. Once I get one, I'll update you all.
I'm sorry for the delay. :-/
Every now and then, sitting on the bus or having a coffee, I drop by the forums for amusement to see the same ole same ole in its endless churn. Calls for boycotts, calls for Gree to fix the endless, mindless litany of errors, bugs, glitches. Having played the game since before factions were in a barely conceived glimmer in Grees revenue statements I've seen (and done) it all over and over again.
Yet the solution is so simple it escapes everyone.
If you don't like the game, finding the frustration of the way Grees relentless pursuit of your dollar gets in the way of your endless pursuit of happiness playing the game, then stop. Just stop. Walk away. There ARE other games out there that give an infinitely better sense of player satisfaction. Your faction mates (that I bet you don't even know their names or what they look like) will survive the 3 minutes it takes to replace you. Move on.
Leave the game to those addicts and one or two misfits that genuinely love it and have a much better life yourself.

I'm still waiting for a response to my inquiry, just FYI.
Can you look into this issue:
http://forums.gree.net/showthread.ph...is-it-possible
I have been trying to get an answer on forums AND in tickets to support staff and have not had a response in either place for almost 10 days. This is a major issue with one of your top 2 money making events, that cost my team a lot of points in the last event. We are fed up with not even getting a response from any support.
I will reply in the post you've linked to since it's off-topic from this thread.
Thank you Relic.
