Its clear they want people to spend money and don't care about fairness and YES its putting some people off the game. The players you mentioned along with others (i'm sure most of us in AU server know who they are) are ruining the whole point of missions with these gold crazy tactics. Whats even sadder is they actually think that their wins are earned when in fact all they are doing is buying the final prize. How much did it cost collectively? 500 dollars? 1000? 2000? While it isn't fair on others that are playing mission after mission and working hard to EARN points for the team sadly this is what the game has become. Personally I could think of better things to spend my money on but at the end of the day these players fund the game for us.
There's still good rewards to be won in the CC and at least it didn't cost me hundreds of real dollars to win them.
" Its like an athlete on steroids we make a fuss about that , what's the difference here ?"
Challenges and missions for that matter should be based on ability, and they should reflect the effort players have put into building up their farms - no gold, no purple stuff.
Or, they could have a separate Challenge where the Golder's and Purpler's can knock themselves in to oblivion as they try to out do each other. LOL ...I might even pay to watch that
To get evenly matched players in a mission, it needs to be based on performance in missions, not player levels & thats exactly how it was done & it just caused masses of solo missions because there were not enough players of the same ability level, searching for a mission at the same time, especially at the higher levels. Since lower level players benefit from being in missions against higher players, even though they do not come 1st, I think its a much better way of doing it, than to sit for a whole CC and never get one op in any missions, because that is just soul destroying.
my suggestion is if a person uses gold to finish competition he should be rewarded less points then what they usually gets .
how can a level 223 shelve a mission with only 63 alfalfa ?
This same person can post 5k + of pigs with one sty !!!! and you wonder why people get disheartened
Dont stress over the small stuff
BTW......a couple of the players mentioned in the OP have absolutely awesome farms & even without the use of gold can win many missions with just simple harvests.
I thought it was against the rules to name & shame???
Has anyone ... and not during a CC been in with low level players during a mission and backed off , let them take the win ? Just so they feel good about the game... get extra certs etc.
And while I do buy gold as I understand games like this don't run on nothing .. It is my choice that I don't use it for the benefit of winning missions.
the naming and shaming !!! well maybe I shouldn't have done that ,, but I think we all would have known who was on that list and we all probably could have added a few more to it ..
finally as I said in my first message ...not everyone will agree with what I say .. that's fine , I get it ... but is it not my prerogative to express my opinion , is that what a discussion corner is all about ?
So with that Happy Farming ,, to the Golders and the non-Golders ... no the world will not end !!!

our co-op the ranch is in the gold league we are currently 2nd and have been for most of the challenge, we are the smaller of the top 4 co-ops and all our players have posted rp, great team work is what it is supposed to be about but as I watched this morning when the wheel of fortune ended the co-op chasing us called [Name Removed] picked up 2 million rp from it, is this really the kind of co-op challenge ggs had in mind, they make money from us buying gold to use boosters and to speed up harvesting now the wheel of fortune enables co-ops to basically buy rp from the wheel, this really needs to be looked at and the million rp to be replaced with some other reward that does not enable co-ops to basically buy rp, the challenge should be all about the work players put in not how much gold their heavy gold users can spend spinning a stupid wheel. if this is how co-op's have to play to beat smaller co-ops I really hope the leaders are proud of themselves, come on ggs give us a break stop using things to let players buy rp.
andyh
ps I'm also sad to hear latten is leaving us I hope you find what your looking for and good luck in your future.
Didn't I see someone of your coop, no naming needed, ending up on joint 4th position (thus raking 1 million rp) on yesterday's wheels?
As the wheel during Coopcha is within the means given by GGS, whoever has spare tokens can use them as he/she pleases.
It's a part of the game and whether some like it or not, is irrelevant (especially in the case of some member(s) of your own coop having a go at it). Throwing the first stone etc.
Now let's say the possibility of winning some rp, which isn't always guaranteed, was removed, what would eventually happen?
Some players might join, on a temporary or permanent basis, the one coop that knows best how to use super seeds, humus and yes, sometimes a few gold of their own money to speed harvests up. Don't you ever speed anything up? I know I do
So eventually we would read you back again, complaining how impossible it is to compete against such a group and this should be reviewed blah blah blah.
I do not condone the use of the wheel but it is not against the rules. Quite the contrary.
As for leaders, I cannot speak for them but I'd think when "smaller" players get some rewards they would normally struggle to win, this justifies having a few other members playing the wheel for the benefits of the group.

I'm not against using gold during the challenge I do in missions as I do for boosters GGS have made it so we have to if we want to take part, I also do accept your comment about the wheel and who wins rp , but is it really ok that co-op members are having to spend money on the wheel incase others do to cover that possibility, I don't know this whole challenge thing really is a pain in the ( word removed) to save editing
guess what? No one had been filling their 20 open slots for months a while back. Tombstone is always top 10 in the gold league, and won 1st in the silver, bronze, and novice league when they first started
join a good co-op and stop being anti-optomistic. You're all worse than grumpy cat.
there's plenty of good rewards and anyone who wants to be in a top 10 co-op can always just join them
yes it is meant to be fun
Now, that's not an accurate statement. I do place higher in some missions with higher level players. And have even when on your level. I have good luck in feed missions unless the higher level players are using gold.
I'm hoping it's not that often. I know my co-op struggled this time and didn't earn all the rewards. A couple of strong players felt it was too soon and was not prepared. 2 1/2 weeks was too soon for them. Me being one of them LOL
