Let's start with a question: why don't you listen to your customers (paying and non-paying?) Your customers are very vocal: a good thing. Your customers are intelligent: another good thing. The customers are actually telling you what to improve in game: a huge free beta test. What else could a company ask for?

Is the new bonus system generating more revenues for you now?

Why is there no use for respect yet they continue to be given out?

Why is defense lagging so much from attack? My defense is 10 million lower than my attack? More importantly, as the stats go up and the levels, the percentage needed to win an attack or a rob should adjust. Needing 1 mil attack to rob a player with 1.5 mil defense is very different from having 7 mil attack and robbing a player with 10 mil defense. I get the math but the gap is wider, therefore, either stronger defense mods should be available or formula needs to change accordingly!

When Funzio owned the game, it was built to go on until level 200. As players were nearing that level, they sold the game. Lol. It was meant to be the end. I for one don't want to see it end but if the game is constantly broken, it may be best to end it. I still don't understand why there isn't a new crime city platform for players above level 200. You claim the Funzio platform is broken, create a new one!

Recently, you have lost several players, some of whom were top spenders. You are slated to lose a few more in a few weeks or months. In parting, many of these players have expressed what made them quit. Is change so bad for your company? Trust me, change is not necessarily admitting you were wrong, it could be proving you listen to your customers. Try it, it may earn you some positive comments and a few more yens.

Here is a thought: why don't some of us players put our heads and wallets together and develop a new and improved crime city? We have proven in most cases we may be smarter than gree employees!
