    Taking the pulse of MW

    Sensor Tower App data in May for MW - Revenue $710K, App visibility score - 24K, App net worth - $24M
    Sensor Tower App data in June for MW - Revenue $650K, App visibility score - 15K, App net worth - $20M

    The latest WD weekend is their lowest ever ranking WD weekend on the top grossing apps scale.

    I am still amazed GREE makes that much from this game!

    Only a couple players in my faction buy any gold, and we have steadily moved up from 300, to inside the top 125 in just a few months. We sure are not doing anything different. In fact, doing less is more like it. And still moving up. I think we can crack the top 100 before the ships sinks completely!

    That doesn't look good, a 10% drop in a month.
    Is that just MW or all Gree games?
    Can you get their operating costs?

    Sadly feels about right based on what I am seeing online. They have pretty much abandoned new players with the jacked up event requirements so new players who do not have information from others are screwed. Even with prior knowledge the game has become so tedious that I now only look at my main player once a day at most and have abandoned the other 40. I stopped rebuilding months ago, and could care less about about IPH.

    The game lacks focus and direction, surely gree can afford to give these guys a whiteboard where the devs can map out the overall direction and plan so that the game works as a whole. In other words make the buildings such as unit and defence relevent.

    If this points back to the project manager fire them! If it goes higher fire that person and if it goes as far as tanaka, then all is lost and this game along with the entire company will go down the toilet.

    The developers are completely useless at this point and are probably on auto pilot till the ship sinks.

    Agreed. You sum it up correctly.

    Sad because all they need to do is tell the top brass to read the forum and instruct the devs to fix what we ask for but thats never happened in the games history and is unlikely to ever happen.

    I don't blame anyone.
    If THE GREE can entice a few to "spend" and many more to "tap" using the existing product, why on earth would THE GREE bother to improve, innovate, or even maintain the existing shell of a THINGY?

    No, THE GREE is prescient to milk the existing THINGY for all it provides.
    If the "spenders" and "tappers" continue to DEW what they've done for years, THE GREE should continue to provide the minimum to reap the maximum reward for themselves and their shareholders.

    They should raise the prices for items. Only 25 gold for a health refill is quite low. It should be valued at 100 gold. Also, 100 gold for 25 frontline deploys. 50 gold to reset a timer, and 50 to open a case. I think if they implemented these 4 price increases, the game could last at least another year!

    Yes, you DEW get it.
    THE GREE should charge 100, no wait 500 gold to log on to your account.
    If you haven't logged on for FOUR hours, the logon FEE goes to 1,000 gold, IN ADVANCE.
    If you've been lazy, careless and failed to login in for eight hours, the fee and penalty cost one vault, 1,500 gold.
    THE GREE, get them, get paid, make them prove their love.

    I'm not in THE GREE's league, but if a faction wants to DEW battle in WD, tax each member 300 gold.

    For FL, tax 'em 250 gold, EACH for every battle.

    Its time tappers put their money where their fingers go.
    It's time for everyone to pay for this great game.

    If they would resolve some of the game issues, lower the requirements of events and lower the gold costs overall then there may be a glimmer of hope for some new blood. Personally at this point I don't see putting money into this game due to the stage it is at currently.
