    A FREE faction war???

    Why not have a FREE faction war? No gold whatsoever and see who is the strongest. Right now, is all about the factions that have the deepest pockets, which I complete understand, but it'd be nice to see how this play out when gold is not a factor.

    Thoughts? Please be constructive.

    I agree that would be nice. It would even be better if it was unannounced and a surprise so you could not dump the $600 per person (or more) it takes the leaders to win into stronger units before the War started.

    I like the idea but Gree is a business and their main goal is to make money so i dont see them offering a non-gold event. There are some groups at the top that will likely always spend. It is simply their nature and their perogative to do as they please. However, many can choose to do the opposite and just see how good you can be without gold. My signature says what we plan to do.

    Gold would still be a factor indirectly due to rewards from previous wars, LE units, etc. Strong LLP's would also have an advantage over HLP's.

    I came up with something to this nature quite a while ago and the battle for Ethiopia came of it...

    it's highly unlikely Gree would do anything to stop the gold buying. But what if they somehow posted the gold spent per team for the event. That would allow us to have a better idea how well we're doing in relation to money spent. After all it i a strategy game, which implies a battle of wits not bank accounts.

    That's a great idea. Though I think GREE wouldn't do that because of the embarrassment from the top faction on how much they truly spent.

    You must be a free player.
    Being a free player I also think the same

    I'm good. Until GREE eliminates the ability to use, I'll let my men decide how they choose to play.

    You can count my faction (Aryan Army) in on the no gold using idea during the wars. I think this game has gotten away from being a game of strategy and more about a game of money. Gree could still get their money from Unit sales, LTQ events, etc... I have to spend a ton of gold throughout the month just to keep pace with others!!! I'm actually in the process of developing a different war game that your progress is based upon strategical decisions and not how deep your pockets are. I for one am done spending money on this game. Not to long ago if you bought two vaults of gold it would last you a long time. Two vaults of gold now doesn't even get you close to winning. I realize Gree is a business and wants to make money but their driving their customer base away.
