    I will never understand why gold buyers are called suckers, etc. No one knows their individual situations. Everyone wastes money on something...I think those guys who spend $500 / bottle on Grey Goose so they can get a table in a club are insane. How about spending $12/pack of cigarettes and smoking 2 packs a day? How about upgrading to iPhone 5, when you just upgraded to the iPhone 4s? Starbucks coffee every day (that's an extra $1-4 day x's 365 days)? I could go on for days.....

    If everyone honestly looks at how they spend money, I'm sure you can all say, why did I spend money on that? So stop judging.

    Yup, I just told my syndicate 2 weeks is way too soon for the next war and I can't spend my weekend on the iPad again. They should be increasing the interval between wars, not shortening it.

    Why can't they have a war during the week? The weekend is not good for me. I hate these two week wars because it doesn't give me enough time to increase my attk/def.

    I wonder how long everything will continue to function for the most part over the next couple months, I just can't help but to be compelled.

    If they paid some college student 15-20k a year to mod the forums and listen to customers they're ROI would be huge. Business is just run terribly.

    I have a feeling that Gree knows the writing is on the wall as far as the end of this game. That's why they've been completing ignoring the player base and pumping out event after event after event, usually more than one event at a time. I can't imagine that this type of business model can be sustained long term - unless the heavy spenders in this game are so addicted or have such a huge sunk cost factor that they continue feeding into Gree's game plan. It should be apparent to everyone that Gree's primary focus is sqeezing as much money as it can from players while it can. The 24 hour gold sale Gree had at the beginning of the past war was a big FU to those who threatened a boycott. There was no posts or comments from Gree as to the reasoning of the limited sale period. For that matter, Gree doesn't have to say anything with respect to the game because it knows people will keep spending money on gold. Notice how the only time you see a post from a Gree representative is to penalize someone? At least when CM Mark was around, he gave at least SOME feedback, albeit minimal, as to what was going on behind closed doors.

    Remember when the M4A1 rifle was nerfed because of "balance" issues? lol This game has completely become gold-centric with absolutely no concern for balance. The stronger (i.e. those who buy gold) continue to get stronger, further widening the gap with casual players. As long as you choose (yes it's a choice) to keep spending gold on this game, regardless of whatever issues you might have with it, Gree has no incentive to change anything.

    This is where I'm at too. I am a free player, but the three days it takes to be committed to the battles is now up to just about 9 days per month, that's crazy.

    That's a ver debatable assertion considering Gree's current financial state as a company.

    Anyone who thinks that Gree is doing anything maliciously is insane... They are in business to do one thing, make money. If they think they can make more money in the medium-long term having people spend 75% every 2 weeks, instead of 100% every 4 weeks, then they think this is a good business decision to them. If they think it costs more to hire support staff to address support ticket, then it costs through lower gold sales and people leaving the game, then to them it's a good business decision to cut staff. They aren't spiteful, they are simply trying to maximize their bottom line. It's pretty simple.
