    congrats Gree

    We have lost another 2 players who have become disillusioned with the game. This takes out total to 7 players in the past 3 months who have quit the game and we have another that has been idle a month. The 7 I refer to have all definitely quit as they have sold up their hoods and communicated with us.All players were long term players and not fly by nighters. The common gripe has been the non stop events that are being made more impossible event by event, closely followed by boss triggering.

    From a syndicate point of view this is really frustrating as we need to continue to recruit whilst at the same time try and keep up with trying to either trigger bosses, co-ordinate events and pretending we have a life outside the game. Throw in a few players like myself who also play Modern (or the like) and it's no wonder people are leaving in droves.

    We need the pace slowed down a little, not a heap but a little. Uzi drop rates need to be rejigged as each event it's getting worse. I noted that whilst triggering bosses by hitting Carmen that not 1 uzi dropped last event, The prior event I averaged 8 uzis. On one device I could accept that this was unlucky but when i play 4 devices and not one drop on any it's plain to see there has been some tweaking. I can only assume that the rates have been tweaked elsewhere also.

    I have also noted that my rivals list now has players 18 levels above me (i'm lvl 81) whereas last month all were within 10 levels. Seriously, rivals over 20% higher in game level?????? I accept being robbed/attacked is part of the game and have no issue with that but surely things need to be on a reasonable level playing field.
    I won't go into the difficulties of boss triggering as I'm sure it will fall on deaf ears. last event was tough but a challenge. This event I noted it was even tougher. At one point it took me over an hour to trigger one. That's just plain ridiculous. Nobody should be expected to spend that much time for just a small piece of the jigsaw.

    Please don't see this as sour g****s as I usually manage the 100 bosses with ease but not everyone has to charge their phone 2-3 times a day due to game play.

    Not sure if a mod will bother replying let alone reading this but one can only hope . I'm sure this has all been mentioned before but hopefully with enough feedback something may get done. I hate seeing players leave the game as the more that leave means the end of the game is closer.

    7 isn't too bad in the past 3 months. People come and go, keep recruiting up or you'll suffer as the syn I am in. We've lost 15-20 in the past 3 months(completely left the game) and another 5-7 to other syndicates.
    It's partly due to the numerous events, but really it's the damn cost. I, along with many others , have spent too much and can't keep doing it. We tried to go free/no gold, but the scaling of the game is out of control. The scaling gone up so much that it is becoming harder to enjoy the game. You end up falling so far back in stats that's raid bosses and epic bosses are impossible to get to an enjoyable level.
    IIRC it was BM who said this game is becoming a pay to play game, he was right! It won't be too much longer before the rest of my syn and I are gone from this game too.

    GOOD POST in my opinion, Wawoftam. There's no logical explanation that justifies why they'd continue to watch players walk away like this. It appears that they're trying to hard to appeal to a new/inexperienced audience, rather than keeping their mainstays around. Sad.

    They've upgraded the "Daily Scratcher" prizes, but left the same old crappy/overpriced inventory everywhere else. We still have areas of the map to complete for millions of dollars, only to end up with yet another crappy prize? A common epic boss loot drop is as powerful as something we'd get in Japan Town, etc. ???

    Maybe they should just add an exclusive area to the map where people can ELECT to participate in more powerful (gold burning) challenges to "become stronger overnight". It's more of a chore to stay competitive, than a pleasure to play these days.

    Beaut, another has just sold up his hood and he was an original member. It's not just about completing events but the fact there isn't a break at all. Our syndicate is pretty low pressure but it just never ends.
    Syndicate hoppers will always happen but seeing people quitting the game completely isn't good for the rest of us. These people are gone for good unlike quite a few on here stating they are quitting only to post the same dribble weeks later. All players have sold their hoods up, donated the cash, posted in forum a warm thanks and then POOOOF, they're gone.
    Does this not concern GREE? Some mod feedback would be nice.

    No it does not concern Gree in the slightest if an established but disgruntled player leaves, unhappy players do not buy gold, for everyone that leaves there is always another opening his or her wallet.

    We're in the same situation - Another 2 gone this month. Rivals list is the main reason followed by the concurrently running events.

    Quitting because there are too many events? Don't participate in all of them. Afraid of falling behind? Try caring a little less.

    People rage quit this game because they feel they can't keep up or that is costs too much, but that is the very nature of it. The game rewards people who spend a ton of real money or are on 24/7. They count on syndicates to form a sense or responsibility, as if you will be letting these 60 strangers down if you don't participate. It's the perfect strategy for those that don't take a step back and see it for what it is.

    Hint: There is no winner. There is no start line or finish line.

    I am now a syndicate of 1, have no responsibilities, answer to no one, could not care less if the pack is pulling away, and treating this game like the time waster it is meant to be. I have never been happier.

    Honestly, the complaints about this game, while accurate, are the very definition of first world problems.

    Yeah, I think you have no one to blame but yourself for spending in these Open 10/20 events.


    Similarly for any other event that you spend your money on but derive ZERO benefit from.


    But that being said, the Boss triggering is completely ruined, it IS a problem that needs to be fixed, and I know from a reliable source that GREE did intend to make triggering more difficult. Unfortunately this has made the game characteristically unfair as *some* players trigger just fine while others it takes **upwards of 2 hours** to trigger

    Well, with changes to this game it's become necessary for some players in syns to run multiple accounts.

    Most full syns of 60 wouldn't get anything done if it was just the 60.

    Game is perfect now... i miss like 5 events having fun with friend... came back and im still hitting lvl 250 in war... everyone only gained attack and no defense... that means a lot of free time ... you want more time off just dont do the event you only will miss a few millions of attack at the end it doesn't matter you can rob everyone and attack everyone...
