Gree should give Danimal/Larry Jackson green text and fund their walkthrough efforts. Gree should know, with their other games, when the volunteers burn out, participation and spending drops until the next volunteer steps in. The walk throughs are similar to the lottery commission advertising the powerball jackpot. When players know what the prize is, they'll go for it even if odds are low. But if nobody knew the next jackpot was 500 million, then they wouldn't get the spending frenzy so needed to support the lottery goals. They should find someone like Danimal/Larry Jackson for their other games also since the other games haven't had the benefit of these volunteer walk throughs - they've lost much more players and participation. Those of us who were here when CCMark was here remember how easy it was to credit individual accounts with this fake stuff called in game gold.
It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.
The SPENDING LAMP is ALWAYS lit in ALL GREE GAMES. SPEND it, if you got any left.

That would certainly make the most sense, since you are already established doing this. It would be a win/win for all parties since
they would get much needed support and the customers would get much needed intel.
So Gree what say you? Give TheDanimal a job and make the customers happy for a change or sit back and do nothing as usual.

#2 of course. With GREE there is never anything other than #2.
If you have a gambling problem (ie. spend money on GREE games), call 1 - 800 - GAMBLER
Sorry dude, but I severely doubt that will ever happen. Why would they pay you (or anyone) when they know that all they have to do is sit back and wait for you to pay them for the privilege? All respect from the players for the awesome job you do buddy, but no respect from Gree at all I'm afraid.

Nah, sorry buddy, but they are far from clueless.
What they are is a company that milks their product for every penny of earnings they can get while returning as little as possible in effort in as little cost to them as possible. That's the overwhelming track record to date.
Now, in that sort of environment, do you really expect gree would pay a player to do anything, when they know that if they just sit tight and do nothing then that player, or someone similar, while pay gree to do the job anyway through gold sales to finish the event and post the results?

Thus alienating or pissing off their customer base.... Yeah that's clueless or worse in my books. In terms of 'pay' I suspect a stipend of gold, enough to complete the event would suffice...
The other fatal flaw in your assumption is that there are players still willing to waste their time and own money on this process.

The problem is with employing peeps in California with all the regulations and not having a profit to pay for it. If they could, they would have more paid staff to make this game run.
In the past, other volunteers have burned out with the ever increasing gold, entitled peeps expecting the walk throughs ASAP after event goes live, and most importantly, unappreciative game publisher not recognizing the free publicity and activity generation provided by the volunteers. (I only remember Devin but I'm sure there were others.)
Many of us will not cross the flooded bridge until we see someone else make it across first. Even though I don't do LTQ or my bottom 4000 (top 1000 this last WD - only 7 battles) team can't complete FLTQ's, we still appreciate the work it takes to put these walk throughs out and the lifeline they extend to this game.
