You're not addressing my point at all. Again, no one said top teams can't step on the gas at any time, because obviously they can. And did-- it only took a few hours for the top 10 teams to get right back to where they would have been had they not abstained from gold spending for 24 hours. (Unrelated, but I'm skeptical that all the teams did anyway-- some teams which I won't name put up suspicious totals in battles against us which would have been really hard to believe even given the generous 100% attack success rate assumption, even when I know they weren't even close). 24 hours isn't a boycott anyway. You basically said, "I'm not giving you my money today, I'm giving it to you tomorrow." What the hell motivation does GREE have to bend to your demands in that case?
If the cumulative totals for the top 25-50 teams in the upcoming syndicate war are closer to Packer Heights than to Chinatown, then I'll apologize. But based on the number of gold spenders I've seen dropping off the map recently, I feel fairly comfortable in my assertion that it was gold fatigue.
