Thank God for being grandfathered in on old school unlimited plans
...I wonder if their efforts at fixing certain *ahem* energy issues have consequently increased data usage
Seems all the checks and balances and glitch fixes are actually at the cost of everyone of us. Was this truly the only way to resolve those issues? Making data outrageous and sneaking charges on members/players as a side effect?
suck my non existent balls I have unlimited wifi and unlimited data so =D i can do anything on it pretty much
Farewell to my friends at the Real McCoys I had a fun year with you guys and farewell to this game
BASE NUKED- 12/08/14
Now in my spare time I play Dota 2

I too have been getting nailed with usage overages in the past two months. This is the first time going over data usage since playing MW 4 years ago, something was definitely changed.
I would like to hear from Gree on this please?
typical gree fashion. crickets!
some time ago, someone posed the theory: aside from gold, how is gree making money? and answered with, by getting a kickback on usage fees from the wireless carriers.
hmmmm looks like that may have been spot on.
Something has changed with MW, just noticed my usage has gone to 1 gig per day! and haven't changed anything.
Its definitely because of their attempt to stop the glitches, that the app now connects to the servers all the time.
I'm lucky my game is on my iPad with wifi only or this would have been very expensive game now - besides the gold purchases..
i've also doubled my usage in the past 2 months. Had no clue why it went up since my cell phone use was the same. Great observation.
Does anyone know if I just force close MW through the multitasking screen, will it help with the data usage while i'm not actively using the app?
If you just check for collecting buildings there should be no problem. Going to other's bases will ride up in the 100's of MB's. Make sure it's MW and not other apps. I try to avoid groupme when I can because it sucks up data, especially with pictures and now gifs and what not. Also turn off auto updating.
Kguitar & Blade of 3: when Verizon pinged me to say my usage was near maxed, that was on the 12th and my usage was 1.76 gb in 2.5hrs.....with the ipad closed, in my bag, not on since i left the house on wifi. So it did that to me in sleep mode.
I went on a raiding spree to test this out. I reset all counters and turned my wifi off to use my data plan. This game was literally using 1Mb/min. This is the same as Pandora would use streaming music. This is insane...
only 1mb a min? iOS? Besides the 10 minute test I mentioned previously, I first did a cash collect, raid one map target for single hit and posted comment, turned off cellular and checked and had used either 30 or 50mb in 1.5 minutes. Did the same thing with my 5S and had 10mb in one minute.
Would really like a mod or developer to chime in here...as well as respond to my ticket.
Correction, 1MB. Still too much. Spend an hour a day using cellular for this game, that approaches 2GB a month... Just for one app.
This looks like its turning out to be another nail in MW's coffin. First it gears up to only be played by whales and now is blowing out peoples data plans to just play for free. I hate to say it, but if things continue, we may as well burry the game now. It has even dropped to 56th place on the money earnings list when earlier this year it was around 9th.
I think if Gree's managing director can't see his idea of only catering to whales is killing this game. There is no more hope at all. Even for their other products.
If you take a chance and succeed, it was worth it.
If you take a chance and fail, try again.
My data has surged only for the fact that our faction created a NSFW room and the amount of porn posted is insane.....if anyone wants to join let us know!! Pigz of war would love to have you depraved people join us!
I'm suprised that more of you don't have wifi at work or home.
