Also an untrue statement: we can assume that all top 10 syndicates have gold spenders. The top 3-5 syndicates are more than likely all or mostly gold spenders.
It is hilarious to read some of these posts. Fight Club was a mix of independent players at the onset. With the help of my good friend Paulio, we added some CK members. It was never let's look at who the biggest spenders in the game are. It was a way to align players with the same mindset: win syndicate wars. Some of these players have retired from the game or have wanted to take it easy somewhat so new (just as strong) players hav stepped in. We have never to this day only required players to spend to be in FC. There has to be trust. And you have to be a dedicated player.
I'm sure the haters will find plenty to troll or talk about. But, this, ladies & gentlemen, is the truth. I have been involved since the onset and I am still there today in a senior role. Don't believe the hype! And for those who truly feel there is no strategy other than money, think again and think hard or you will never be #1 even if you decide to spend massive amounts of money. Enough said....
