The Future of Fight Club

[AppleMacGuy]

For the 13th consecutive time Fight Club placed #1 on the Empire City map to maintain our 100% success rate. Along the way we suffered our first defeats, which although disappointing for us all were inevitable at some point. We again congratulate SAS on beating us fair and square. It was the most epic battle to have been played out in Crime City so far.

But, in essence, FC truly has nothing left to prove to any other syndicate. We have dominated Wars comprehensively and our success is a testament to the unity and fighting spirit of all our members, both past and present.

Those who have been with FC since Day 1, as well as those who know the history, will be well aware that FC was originally formed to take on and beat head-to-head the self-styled CC bullyboys known as the Indians. We did that comprehensively time and time again - they pushed us hard on many occasions but in the end they were no match for us. They were good times indeed.

The fact is that CC has changed markedly since the first War many months ago. GREE has only one objective which is, quite frankly, to do everything in their own best self-interests at any cost and at the ever increasing expense and frustration of their paying customers. More recent actions by GREE have triggered numerous retirements with, it seems, many more to
follow.

This is a game - it shouldn't have to be like this. We're supposed to have fun, not be frustrated week after week. In reality, we can't even scratch the surface of saying what we really want as this post will be swiftly removed, but all of you as players can make your own conclusions as to the serious issues we're alluding to. It is, in our opinion, a sad and sorry state of affairs when a game company drives away some of its biggest spending customers. But, that is the reality.

As a consequence, the Board of FC has reached a unanimous decision that the next and last battle of 2013 will be the final swan song for FC. After that battle, FC will be disbanded and renamed with a new vision and gameplay strategy. The core of that vision will be to have fun with friends whilst spending as little gold as possible.

Our sister syndicate, FC2 will continue as an independent syndicate to be run by the existing FC2 Board. They will announce a new name in due course. We hope that once FC is disbanded some of FC's fighters may find a new home there.

This thread insists upon itself.

It was inevitable that it would come to this to be honest.

[Fruit of the Boom]

It will be the end of an era. Best to go out on top.

Maybe now we can get the modifier to build multiple buildings at once

Great job gree, pissing off your biggest spenders as always.

Among the various meaningless threads that have recently spammed page one of this forum, I give you +1 for this post!
It is sad to see what happened to this game when so many of the big boys retire out of frustration. Nonetheless, it shows that FC has basically the same issues as all other teams.

Back Alley Network: Now recruiting ex-FC members! Come while there are still spots left!

On a more serious note, it was fun watching FC dominate the game. RIP FC and much respect to its members.

Farewell FC

As someone that used to be play for one of the top hardcore raiding guilds in WoW, I can understand the sense of comradery one feels when achieving certain goals with a group of people, and the desire to be the best. However, I never quite understood the mass appeal of "pay for stats" games like CC, MW and KA. "Success" in such games does not require skill, where a player with better skill could still beat an opponent with greater stats. On the contrary, success is based purely on who is willing to spend the most.

In that regard, I've been playing CC since the very beginning (gave up on MW and KA) and being the first time I've played this type of game, I have to say I've never come across a game where the length of time you've been playing (i.e. experience) and leveling up was actually a bad thing. Moreover, the constant stats inflation is crazy. This past syndicate war, I encountered numerous sub-level 100 players with 3million+ stats. With the way the game is currently progressing, any money spent towards building up your stats becomes obsolete very quickly. I anticipate there wll soon be another level cap increase to 300, at which point, it's just rinse and repeat. In the end, the only winner is Gree. I can only imagine the amount of real money FC has spent in achieving its consective syndicate war streak, but I'm sure it's enough to buy several Nissan Skyline R34s.

For the times I've come across FC people, you guys seem to be stand up people. Good luck in your future endeavors.

Good job FC! You guys have once again set an example that the entire CC community should follow. Gree's epic glitches, screw ups, intentional mistreatment of its most loyal customers and general incompetence should be rewarded with its customers refusing to pay a single dollar for the subpar gaming platform it provides. For those who want to go one step further I'm sure you have seen PhilT's post on almost every thread in existence on the forum, I would suggest looking into it. I know of hundreds of players on Top 25 teams that have been refunded thousands of dollars in the last few weeks from iTunes and Google Wallet so each of you should also get what's due to you!
