Humbly request to the Gree

[The Billionaire]

This is the kind of game that you play as much or as little as you want. If players are letting the game get in the way of real life then that's their problem not Gree's.

The community has been asking for new content in CC for a long time and now that it's finally arrived you're moaning about it because it's too much.

All the players that are feeling burnt out need to take a step back and maybe some time management classes.

I know how much I want to play this game therefore every time an event gets released I weigh up the value of the prize against how much time is needed to get it. If its worth investing the time and money then ill go for it, if its not worth it then I play the event as and when I can be bothered. The only exception to this is the syndicate main event because I'm part of a team and feel that I should be contributing as much as possible towards my team.

One main event every 3 weeks is about right. I think once a month would please more players but at the end of the day it's all down to the player and how much they want to play.

When KA got released I knew I didn't have the time to maintain 2 KA accounts as well as 2 CC and 2 MW accounts so I passed on playing that game, a decision I'm very happy I made.

Then MQ got released and I decided to give that one a go because CC was really beginning to bore me but after spending hundreds of pounds on MQ I now only log in once or twice a day to collect and upgrade. Looking back it was a bad decision to start playing that game but I've got over it.

At the end of the day it's down to the player how much you let these games rule your life. If this virtual world is getting in the way of the real world then you have serious issues and I suggest you seek help immediately.

Gree are merely providing a game for you to play, how addicted you become to that game is your fault not theirs.

I don't agree with you Billionare.
Yes it is all about money and yes each company needs to make money and that is ok!

I didnt say that guilds factions or syndicates are bad thing,i like them because they get random people together,the bound people more,but those people have lifes too,they need time to play this game relaxed.
I didnt say that people are adicted.Nobody is here adicted we are still playing this games because we made friends here..We want to be a good team mates and be there for our team and friends!

All those people that i mention before those are people that honour friendship they wanted to give their time for friends ingame.
I don't know how you dont understand that,you are a person that you spend the most time on this game and forum,so i'm surprised by your responce.

I will see you one day when you get married and then you will remember my words.
All those players have families,jobs,friends in real life and all of them have friends and here,as you do!
When you start losing your friends here for a lack of time to keep up with each event,than you will see what i meant with this thread!

Im for new events,im for all new things that Gree makes to get this game more interesting,im the Bigest fan of GREE and i love all Gree games,but i see that events are to near,one event ends another start,no pause between,who can keep up with that?

Remember Bilionare that you have friends here and yes play this games because of events but the main reason is that you play this game is a social aspect of the game,you made friends here and that is what it keeps you here.When you start losing them because of burnout you will leave too,with who you will share all good and bad in syndicate? Will you enjoy your top prize without your good friends there,i don't think so..

And yes i'm surprised that i didn't get more suport from you,you from all knows what is friendship and what people here means to us!

And remember Billionare that i speak with the most of the leaders from all factions guilds syndicates and all of them have the same problems and the same issues people and their friends are quiting more and more,that made them sad as every normal person does,if you can't share your victories with your friends with who you can?

So for us the most important top prize that we can win is friendship,not some unit with 10 k stats,friendship means to us more than all.
So every member of this forum and every player have my support!
I understand them and i'm here for them,if i can help i will..

Hope this makes a bit diference,hope that Gree makes some pause between events,that is all that we ask,to honour each player and make adjustments that this game can be more playable for the most of the people!
And you as my team mate hope you understand me!

Your trully

I think Titan is trying to make the point that GREE are scheduling events without considering customer opinion. The second the last war ended, the events for the next month popped up. GREE can do whatever it likes. Just sounds like an active customer is requesting that GREE start measuring customer satisfaction with the current pace of events. Maybe they should post a poll here

thanks Bugsy,you understand me...before you had a pause from end of boss event a day or two and then it started box event.This is just one of the things, now we have more events and they are without pause,they go one after the other ends

I'll trade your friendship for a 10,000-10,000 item any day

No, I'm seriously burned out by just two wars and I just moved my main account up to a very competitive Syn. ...WaitForIt... is now leading a top500 and logging every detail and Legen...dary is trying to hold his own in a top100 and not fall behind the pack. This game is getting more time consuming to stay competitive. It is a bonus and may become a problem. Personally, I will cross that road when I get to it. I may leave for a week, or for good someday. A syndicate might regret the loss, but I'm guessing that most of us are replaceable. Everyone will be $1m/hr if they try for long enough. There is nothing in the game that says that you have to increase stats at a certain rate. The game is playable as long as you keep out of the bottom 5% of stats for your level. That is actually supported better by playing less. You collect more per level you move up by not playing as much. 2x collections a day is all that will ever be truly needed.

After watching what happened in Boston, it really puts life in prospective.

Yeah... Better finish in first place or someone might blow your leg off with an IED!

Not true for a *non-stop* AND *team* event. As a team player, you feel obliged to help so you can't quit in the middle.

All the players that are feeling burnt out need to take a step back and maybe some time management classes.

Again, not for syn battle event.

One main event every 3 weeks is about right. I think once a month would please more players but at the end of the day it's all down to the player and how much they want to play.

I think all DragCro is saying is really "Syn main battle is too often and too long. While you can manage other events, you can't time manage the battle once it starts. So GREE, please scale back the frequency and reduce the battle length further. Thank you for listening to your loyal customer, and we still love you!"

[The Billionaire]

All I'm saying is if the rolling events are too much then don't participate in them.

The team aspect only comes into it for every syndicate main event. This is where your friends all need to come together to achieve the goal which has been set.

Also I don't really understand what you mean by losing friends. If any of the players I've met in this game don't want to be my friend because I'm too busy with real life then they're not worthy of my friendship in the first place.

Real life will always come before this virtual life for me.

[The Billionaire]

Not true for a *non-stop* AND *team* event. As a team player, you feel obliged to help so you can't quit in the middle.

Of course it's true. All the events in the middle are solo based events. If you want to participate then go for it. If you don't then I'm sure any of your friends won't care.

[Dipstik]

Guess I didn't make it the full week thanks to you I assume?

I'm sure the fact that you're a miserable piece of london trash has something to do with it.

[Auxilium]

I agree with both sides in this discussion. It is a game and if you feel the urge to check it all the time you have an addiction. If you hide from family or play (long periods, more then a simple collection) you can say you have a bigger addiction to this game. I've had this myself, just to score some points for the syndicate, open each hour and drop that last hit on the epic boss. All during the real life social time. It's an addiction.

If you want to become strong in this game you have to invest time in it. If you want to become the strongest and the best you have to spend allot more time (or ****loads of money). If your goal is to be the best, you will see the downside of that goal. When i started i wanted to be stronger then 99% of the players and for now i still am. It took me a year to were i am now and with the time that i've invested in this game i could have done other terrific things. So yeah, i do have the urge to play and become good, so you can say i have an addiction.

Lately with the syndicates, the game has changed allot for me. I made a ton of friends, cool and fun people who are willing to give for the others. It's a family and it made the game more interesting. For this syndicate battles i give all i can, just because you can't expect from your "family" members in the syndicate that they do everything for you. The combination of bad sleep (not because of cc), deadlines at school and the syndicate battle gave me a major headache for 2 days wich were the last 2 of the 2nd syndicate battle. As soon as the battle ended, i dropped my phone down and didn't touch it for a couple of hours. Like i said in the syndicate chat, i'm on stealth mode. It went from just reading everything and not replying to reading sometimes. I've better things to do with my time, and i have tons of ideas i want to do some day.

To be honest, it's great to leave your phone at home when you go out. You enjoy everything allot more, you listen to people when they tell you something and you don't miss that goal that everyone else did see.

If you want to feel better for yourself, make a list of things to do. Fix that flat tire, try to fix broken stuff around the house and don't open the game for a while. At the end of the day you feel allot better and satisfied with yourself and when you decide to open the game, you will notice that nothing has changed.

It's a decision that everyone has to make. Crime City could become the biggest waste of your day time (and for some, money) and ruin real life. <-- seriously seek help if that's the case. And for others it's just a game on the phone that you open once a day or less.

You decide.

I've never claimed to understand british humor.

the point wasnt on that!
You missed the point in general..The point is that people are leaving the game! Your friends will leave the game and then what will you do? Do you care about them or for you it is the same? I'm not from stone,i'm sorry but i'm not,i care about people..I see reasons why they are leaving the game,i just asked in behalf of most of the players to put some pause between events,nothing more..Is that to much? Maybe to you that doesnt mean a big deal but for people with families that means a lot! When you will maried with children remember my words..I'm not asking to much..
And i don't know why is so hard to give suport on this mater..I'm not asking this because of ME!
I'm not maried yet! But i have a life too as you do,but you need to understand that some people have more obligations than others..Yes you are right they can miss few events and they will faul behind by more than 50k stats,what is the point to play the game if you can't reach others anymore just my missing event or two

[sparckle]

A lot of the symptoms listed here are actually a good indication that someone's got a bad case of addiction. Self-evaluation time. If you're hiding from family, scraping to spend every last dime you've got, skipping out on business meetings, or pulling heavily back from your social life just to play some stupid phone game - Then there's a serious problem.

I'm telling you ... if you're addicted that badly, then you really might want to consider deleting the game, taking a few weeks off, and just staying off the forums for a bit (It's a lot harder to do than you might think). Stop worrying about your stats, and go enjoy your life. When you can play and enjoy the game without ruining your life, then you've gotten somewhere.

That's one of the main reasons why I've fallen in love with camping. It's a very casual style of play. I can thoroughly enjoy my actual life, spend time on the forums when I want, and still fully enjoy the game - Without the pressure of feeling like I've got to constantly log in every single moment of every single day just to stay "competitive".

To help you out though ... Try only playing one game. Or try going for a few days leaving your buildings uncollected. Let people rob you if you have to. Get yourself out of the cycle of feeling like you "have" to do something in-game, "Or Else." Skip out on a few in-game events. Choose to miss that collect 10 with the awesome prize. If you really want to win at this game, that's the way to do it. Learning to keep yourself in control at all times.

^ This. Gree won't change its ways. It's up to the players themselves to change.

I'm surprised. Most people here are much more rational. The KA forum is filled with kids.
