    Unhappy New players can't afford limited time buildings

    This games is not appealing for new players, as we'll never be able to get strong.

    Quests require money and energy that only old players can afford.

    With no new blood, this game will disappear soon...

    You have to work at man. I'm gold free, and have played for over a year. Finish what I can, build what I can build. And every cycle I can do a little bit more then the last. Unless you have the extra cash, it's going to take time and you won't be able to buy every building that comes out, or have the energy or strength to finish all the events.

    On my mini acct (level 14) I have saved money the last two cycles. I've upgraded by 12 and 24 hour buildings to 10. I was able to upgrade last leb to 10 and saved money. New leb will be purchased in two days when I get another 6 million. Like it was said above, save your money and upgrade your cash buildings. I will use this leb to build my money up for next good one. I'm doing it with one builder as well.

    Agreed. Tbh, GREE has gone above and beyond to offer plenty of achievable IPH boosts for the masses in the past 6 months. I've been playing for about 2 years now and I assure you they were not this readily available during my first year of gameplay.

It's much easier to drive all your players out then try and compensate those who have spent heaps when you decide to turn the server off. They just released another new version of the same basic concept.

    Best advice is play the game for what it is. An iPhone ap designed to suck your money from you. How do you win? Stop spending.

    One of the mods said a few weeks back they planned on alternating a cheap LTB then an expensive LTB. So far that looks to be the case. Last one was cheap and this one expensive.

    It is a game.... It is not instant gratification ... Work at it and you to can afford things.... Or spend real $ and get there faster... So invest time in the game like "old" player and you to can be strong(ER).

    Gree makes it too easy for new players to catch up. I've been playing for 2.5 years, getting great prizes in great factions and I see all these new players catching up. All those 5 or 20 stat units and 2,000 stat grand prizes I worked so hard for during the first year are useless now. It took a full YEAR to get to 50k stats, and I was like a king at my level. And what's really insulting is how frontline or WD individual prizes might have +15% for busting your butt and spending a vault (or more) of gold, and just a few % less for barely showing up and ranking in top 10,000. AND since prizes with attack boosts are so much more common than defense, I'm now getting raided by people much weaker than me. I have 1.6b attack, but get raided by people with 600m attack. I understand that new members want to easily catch up, but it should be hard to make up for being a year or two behind. I think gree already does more than enough to help new members.

    Let me put this in perspective for you. If a new player wanted to catch up and get a chance at a +1 Building Upgrade (a prize far more useful to newer players than veterans), the cost for in game cash would be $27,135,635,000. Yes, 27 BILLION DOLLARS. And I've seen two threads now that suggest the players buy the in game cash with real-life money instead. Well, sure! That will only run you $27,000+. TWENTY-SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS OF REAL MONEY.

    That is absolutely, positively insane. There's no way around it. That is running naked through the streets throwing homemade Jell-O sculptures at police officers level crazy.

    A vault of cash is 120 times your iph. It's terribly expensive for a new player with a low iph.
