You guys are hilarious

Not sure what's worse, the people that overspend, or he babies that moan like a little bi*** because folks spend money. Who gives a crap, me I've never spent a penny. There are plenty that do, so what ! Play or don't play nobody really cares either what you do

Cheap meaning "not dumb", right?

If they charged a flat fee for the app in the first place, I would buy it. If they had to remove gold and said "Sorry, we can't afford to run this game for free" and closed it, that would be fine because it's just a game and I'd find another game to play.

Don't hate just because I'm not stupid enough to throw my monthly wages on a regular basis to the fat cats at Funzio. They just keep making more and more *Donate Your Real Money Here* features, and people are all "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!" before they can even get the words out.

I don't blame Funzio. If I was the game developer, I'd keep cleaning all the suckers out of their money too but it's really not much different from running a betting shop or a casino. They are openly preying on addicts and barely even bothering to disguise the fact that they want you to blow hundreds or thousands of gold to gain some new imaginary weapon that, on its own, will barely even give you any advantage over anyone in this imaginary world of CC.

My point is they will keep pushing the limit of how greedy they can be until people finally curb their spending. But while so many idiots keep spending thousands of dollars a year on this game, they have no reason to stop making shameless money-grabbing additions or even try to hide their intentions.

Please provide us with a complete list of what you spend money on. I'm willing to bet that a large percentage of what you spend money on is completely frivolous. And if not...then you are really not very fun to be around.

Funzio, errr, Gree, is a for profit company. They are compelled by their owners, the shareholders, to make money. This is how business works. Their customers pay willingly for their product. It's not some huge conspiracy.

Are you Dillinja? You sure do sound like him....Agree with your sentiments 100%.
Pay/Play/STFU - the choices are very clear. No idea why we need so many damn threads on the same subject...

This is not true.

if you think the hundred bucks can bring you some quick way of progress in game, then you are completely type#2.
Those bucks will only get you to a new level of obsession, by then you will gradually lose control on spending trying to keep the "advance" you've created.

More time spending and more money burnt, that's what you will end up with.

Money does speed up the progress and you dont need to get obsessed just because you spend money, maybe if you spend money you dont have but not if its "freespending money".

What's interesting here is human nature and our addictive tendencies. I don't spend gold on the game yet I am still addicted to the game. I don't know why. I can't possibly "win", yet I still go through the motions every chance I get. The best I've done is break out of the game controlling my sleep patterns. I think we all need deep psychological counseling.

Hey where's the option for you're worth billions and can afford to blow 10 vaults of gold whenever you want because you'll make 10 times that amount of real money back during a Funzio event??

Haha, I see what you're saying there.

Where's that big eyed staring bird picture at?

Edit: here it is!
