Stop pandering to only the biggest spenders in the game. It is no coincedence that billionaire is ready to post an exhaustive and very good list within a couple minutes of the opening of the thread.

The game has been designed to milk as much as possible out of the player base instead of offer a fun gaming experience that we would gladly spend on.

You're spot-on accurate. The timing of the post is odd, if anything. Also, look at the leaderboard. Is there a need for that much IP for first? Most people will disagree that there are players driving up the cost of war. If you can't read between the lines..,then you disagree.

Yes, The game is designed to soak up as much money as possible & rightly so. It's Capitalism.
Regardless, they could at least stop pretending to care about enhancing the gaming experience.

Maybe bill is a GREE employee, and new this thread was coming, and instead of doing something internally behind the scenes at his job he wanted to do it in a public forum.

[PedroPimples]

Bill is not a gree employee.
I'd like you to make the forums best posters e.g. Pedro pimples honorary mods for when you are unavailable.

Why derail my conspiracy before it go started? : (

Since when did anything I say carry any credence?

Bill is a very organised person. He'd probably had the bones of that post pre-prepared just in case.

As for the leaderboard I do agree with you. It's the Tam strategy though; if you keep an eye on box events leaders - same thing. Carpet bombing with gold at the outset to deter others.

[Rjc]

I would like some simple transparency. For instance. A chart that shows point ranges for wars. If you are lvl 160 and attack lvls 200-220 the point range is x. Lvl 221-250 it is x. Whatever it may be. But there is to much secrecy to the game and it creates frustration.

Events:
- Robbing LTQ/SLTQ (rob x type of building, rob ltb, rob people x times)

- "Old Style" PvP events, do x many fights and you know you get a weapon, do another x many fights and get an item, then score so many wins and get the top 10 fighter prize with x modifier, and the fun explosive theme part (pigskin, snowball, tp rolls, exploding turkey);
Maybe some new ones could be ( not listed in any order) "Heart Bomb" (Valentines Day), "Exploding Shamrock" (St Patricks Day), Jack-O-Bomb (Halloween), Ornament Bomb (Christmas), Red White & Blue Explosion (Independance Day)

- LTB's with no prize, those ones like the Frosty Hideout, Gingerbread House, Haunted Mansion, Gobble Gobble Buffet. Some new ones could be Elf's Hideout (Christmas)

- How about we do the crime city triathlon? 24 hour battle, 24 hour raid boss, 24 hour PvP. Sounds great and whoever came up with this gets the credit.

Buildings:

- Have 2 LTB's at the same time. One for the people with the great IPH and one for the lower IPh people and newbies. This way everyone can build their IPH and still get prizes to make the game a little more fair. The one that costs more should have stronger weapons for the people with better IPH, to make it an incentive to have good IPH. I know none of the people with at least 5M IPH hate the annoying high-stat, horrible IPH leaches robbing all of their buildings and getting all that money and nothing to get back from them. Espescially if you are one of the people with really good IPH, such as Zendfrim.

- Add a few buildings, maybe buildings better than the nightclub itsself in the store. We could have a "Train Station" lets say with 15M payout a day and costs 500M. Great building IMO.

- You could have a building that pays out respect, energy, or uzis. They would cost a lot of money and have a low payout. Let's say one uzi per 2 hours. You could collect 7 uzis in a day. These buildings could not get robbed, only the respect buildings. There is an energy building on the FaceBook game, called the Coffee Shop (that's all i know of, i read a wiki)
RP building you could upgrade an buy with RP, energy buy and upgrade the same.


Items:

We could have a few more items in the store, maybe ones that can keep up with the stat inflation. How about an item with 1,000 atk/def and costs 100M. That could be great for a start.

Mafia:

Increase the mafia limit. We could bring more items into battle which would be great with the new items (above) at the same time. The people with great IPH could buy more of those 1K items quicker and fill up those mafia, making them stronger with only spending fake in-game money, instead of spending gold. Make IPH more valuable and have the leaches regretting what they did wrong. You have done this in Modern War and I would like to see this here too.

Levels:

Add another 50 levels. Your customers at level 250 won't get a lot of points if they match up with people at low(er) levels like 200, they won't spend as much gold and there goes GREE's money. We could go to level 300 and get many more points. You already did this in Modern War and I would like to see it released here also.

Syndicates:

Have maybe another syndicate event just like the syndicate war, but have the ability to link syndicates up to one another. The syndicates could have a syndicate alliance and be able to even fight each other. But once they link together, they can't leave the alliance until the syn war is over. This would be really fun and encourage more syndicate teamwork.

Have a syndicate chat where it connects another syndicate to another. When you match up with a syndicate, you could chat with them, and even give intel on each other if you wanted, this could also be used to trash talk.

Modifiers:

Have some new modifiers, or re-use some of the older ones that were great. Ideas:

+1 stamina every 2 minutes
+1 building being built
Free Bank Deposit
-25% time reduction from buildings
Instant Payout for one building, every day

How about you can buy modifiers? 500M for -3 building time reduction for upgrade would be a great deal

Scratchers:

Either add new prizes or get rid of it. You can also add the daily reward for playing daily, like in Modern War. That was a great idea.

LTQ's:

Less LTQ's. 1 LTQ and one SLTQ per cycle would be great!
Also make it so people who dedicate a lot of time to these LTQ's be able to get the prize. Using all of your free energy is worth getting the prize.

Skill Points:
Make attack and defense skill points worth something. I thought they were worth something in the beginning and have a lot of sp in atk and def. Or you could be able to reallocate your skill points for 100 gold or something like that.

Misc. Ideas

Search button for people on your level - ONLY people on your level
Make the defense buildings worth something, 145 gold for one defense building that used to be good?? Really??
Ability to sort mafia or search for mafia, this is so annoying when you are looking for a friend or someone. You could have an "Important" section that you can put your mafia in, you can do this yourself. Just add an "edit" button and make it so you can add and remove people from that list.
Boost buildings like Modern War, this would help with our stats a lot.

There are my suggestions. TL;DR probably for all of you

Bumpety bump

[Mirmur]

Number one issue in my opinion - differences between droids & iphones.
1- on droid, when you attack someone, you can't see all of his stat. With the inflation, it's starting to happen for iphones too. We can scroll up&down, why noy left to right?
2- time! On iphone, war timer is shorther by at least 10 seconds.
3- ranking in war. Non visible for iphones

[Ciara]

I'll try not to replicate what's already been suggested:

1) Improve your in-help guide:
if people like TheBillionaire don't know that the particle effect can be turned off by scrolling the settings list or others don't know that (in iOS at least) you can vet prospective members by tapping on the name before acceptance, then the game isn't intuitive enough

2) Let us build level 10 walls in one to two taps:
the tedium of a double tap to build each wall through the levels is beyond endurance

3) Get your IOS and Android Dev Teams to talk to each other, and give us the same functionality:
eg why does my droid account have 100% drop rates on multi-hit targets and the OW/DW breakdown but not my iOS?

4) Charge iOS and Android the same:
Droid gold is cheaper than iOS and whilst I partially accept that may be because of the commission that Apple charges, I don't agree that the cost should be dumped on to the customer. It's not as if you are specially crafting pixel gold for the iPad. Same with Tapjoy gold - you will have some kind of contract with them and possibly the third party vendors, so have agreed to, for example, iOS users getting one gold for five videos whilst the android user makes 5 gold for the same task.

And though I didn't want to repeat anything already said, I do want to support the idea of

5) Increased health refill for the gold paid.
Personally, I don't care if it disadvantages a LLP with massive stats who is content to camp or a mini founded off the back of stats inflation. It's time to recognise those who have progressed up the levels to support their teams in SLTQs, earning unpleasant xp "rewards" on top of task xp in the process. We have earned our energy quota with every time we levelled; campers have chosen a different route and with each come different benefits. With the huge energy requirements in LTQ/SLTQs, the health/gold ratio is unbalanced, and HLPs are already disadvantaged by the battle ip system. It would encourage progression through the levels.

[The_]

1) Improve in-game forum by making it more user-friendly with additional features.
2) Give the leader the ability to assign battle declaration privileges to officers/members.

Reading comprehension is not your strong suit.

As i stated before, billionaires list was great. And perhaps he did just reserve his spot and added all the details later. However, i stand by my original statement that this game panders to the big spender. No where in there do even hint that he is a gree employee. I know him to be a very honorable and helpful player. And I hope his list is considered as it would benefit us all.

We all know they are milking us for as much as they can.

[dragon001]

Taking IPH into account while pairing rivals is a terrible idea, and will cause many many players to cease playing.

actually the opposite. It will truly irritate those who don't have lame loser ghetto hoods. Those who have actually put thought and effort into the game. We have a few in my syndicate that are recent members, but we are working with 'de-losering' them. So if you feel you absolutely must give those who have leveled up some new rivals it should be strongly based on IPH and not just attack and defense stats.
