    I myself am a fellow co-op member with Barbara and spend gold on the coopchas. I will not be competing either. The frequency of the Coopcha is burning us out and on top of that golding is becoming more and more difficult with the silly gold offers that are now available. I used to enjoy buying gold and spending it on my farm and other things like this co-op event, because the gold offers used to be worthwhile. Now they are just lame and give things which are usually of little to no help on the farm.
    Good on you Barb for beginning this topic. :)

    Just like to add my 2 cents worth.. I am in the same coop as BarbChampion and she is truly thus  She has my full support.. I too cannot comprehend what fool initiated another coop challenge so soon.. Less than two weeks??  You have got to be joking!?!..

    I will be going on holidays on Tuesday 18th anyway so personally I DONT CARE.. If you continue in this manner you will lose my patronage completely ..

    I am also a big  golder and spend quite a bit over the course of one of these challenges I too enjoy being able to provide our lower lvl members  with rewards we get from participating in the CC.. Now also to learn that GML's  & Goldflowers are getting the chop I am stunned, shocked & saddened as I feel BF end days will be near due to the GREED of GGS..   So I too will be boycotting this upcoming CC...

    And what a pathetic offering another D duck pond ..lol I already have 3 on my farm.  And they are not such a great bargain anyway:-((

    And as Daniel who is also in my coop has mentioned the gold offers are dismal:-((..  so WAKE UP GGS

    but is it not you golders that have made GGS become greedy , wanting more of your money ?
  • Oh please - give me a break.  How about playing the CC for the sheer fun, challenge and enjoyment of it  - now that would be a novel concept.

    Go ahead - enjoy your  " embargo" - I will be having fun playing.

    As a side note GGS - I agree on one point.  To have another so soon ???




  • even the Gold Offers made some players leave the game and now CC :-)

    I have noticed in the past discussions such as this one get derailed, people go off on to other tangents that have very little to do with the original topic, if you feel that need please start your own discussion and let this one run its course and stay on topic, please also if you feel the need to take cheap shots that have nothing to do with this topic, also take it somewhere else, it is not and never has been all about you, it is all about everyone and how they can come on here and enjoy good conversation and a little bit of relaxation playing our game.

    Have a great day

    I thought that you liked to hide under the bed during CC's  as you didn't like the golders LMFAO.. Wow what a comeuppance..
  • johanne (AU1)johanne (AU1) AU1 Posts: 167
    I'm not sure which derailment your talking about , but they seem all on track to me ..


    but agreed relax and enjoy the game ;)

    Last time I checked wasn't it a violation of the rules to openly try to organise a boycott? It was YOUR decision to spend hundreds/thousands of real dollars on this event. Coming out now and saying GGS will suffer because your group of heavy golder spenders won't play the CC this time around is arrogant and the expectation they will change their decision is gullible. You are right about one thing though, your "embargo" has left the door open for other groups and chances are these coops will win the duck coop spending far far less than you did.

    While I agree that its a shame gold rewards have been taken away it seems the "fun" element of this game has been taken away by the few players obsessed and hellbent at winning at all costs. I also agree on the point its too soon, CC should be a one in 2-3 month period event at most. It will give everyone some time to restock on special seeds and humus and also allow us to focus on building up our farms.

    And you are obviously a dreamer .. Because you will be competing against people who are playing just a few missions.. Some of these people will be using the wheel bigtime .. So play on McDuff .. you WILL NOT WIN doing just missions..lol
  • on a personal note I am in total agreement with Barb on this, the gold flowers and mining license were the only prizes worth  getting, I use gold too and we have  several high level players who use gold we use it so our lower level players who don't can get some gold from the flowers to play with, GGS seem to be on a mission to remove any free gold from the game, the currency of this game is dollars yet 90% of the good things available in the game can only be bought using gold and this is on the increase, also please keep in mind if it wasn't for "golders" this game would still be back in the dark ages their money goes towards the development of this game, and it pleases me greatly that some have decided enough is enough and I hope that more heavy gold users join in your embargo Barb, If this trend is allowed to continue the FUN will go from this game, free to play I do not think so,,,,

    yes I think we all can agree on this one ,, some of us just got there by hard honest missions.
    GGS taking away worthy rewards has taken away the ambition to compete.
    but also have to say that I have and still do buy my fair share of gold to support the game as I know they don't run on nothing ..I just choose not to buy my wins

    I feel that so far, the discussions have been on topic.  We clearly have a camp that use gold and openly admit it. I agree that their spending goes some way to allow GGS to keep developing the game - that's commercial reality.  However, the discussion being considered is whether or not there should ne an embargo of the forthcoming CC. 

    I don't know that there have been cheap shots .  some players are simply questioning whether using gold has detracted from what the CC should be about. 

    If you are not prepared to hear both sides of the argument, why start the discussion to begin with?. You could simply have made your point by not participating in the Challenge.  Instead you have chosen to raise it publicly, so you should expect some counter arguments.

    You obviously have players who support your stand, and that is their right, but please, don't be precious and not allow others to voice an opposing position.  Good debate brings about change.

    I thought your lot was to hide under the covers & stick you claws out like a Gobbledock & catch the rewards that your golders are earning as they are dropping down nr you..

    I don't expect to achieve much by doing this boycott thing as there are always people like you who are waiting on the hill for the skirmishes of battle to finish so that you can swoop down and k*ll the wounded... Pathetic..stick to fishing
    And now from organising boycotts to personal attacks......says something about you doesn't it. I won't lower myself by biting too much but i'll say this........my coop apple orchards (previous CC wins) were earned and not bought. I hope you look at your dandy duck coop and think the hundreds of dollars you paid for it are worth it, I could add a chicken coop or two to my farm and get the same egg results......and it didn't cost me a thing.

  • Agreed Giz - and that that probably doesn't happen too often, lets keep the personal attacks out of it and stick to the discussion.

    This is not the only "camp that use gold"  There a re quite a few others out there .. But by all means keep beating your drum.. Compete as you will .. But you STILL WILL NOT WIN.. I t would've been quite unusual though if people for once in their lives cooperated and we did manage to somehow get GGS to do something that will be of benefit to everyone.. It is NOT the debate that is going to change anything my friend it is people standing together (banging my head against the wall now!!!)

    Yeah right and you expect me to believe that [Removed] .. This is the real world,, TIMES have  changed .. Get with the change.. You will NEVER own  a D Duck Pond .. unless you can get golders in your coop LOL  And you didn't mind when I was in your coop & golding.. as long  as the rewards were coming in thick & fast.. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones:-(((

    I did mind actually, it was a subject of discussion many times that never had to be brought up because u left......but thats personal stuff so i'll leave that out of open discussion. As for a "real world" comparison with big farm, in the real world corn doesn't take 5 minutes to grow, level 90 horses don't get beaten by level 20 and buying competition wins isn't allowed. In the real world this is called "cheating" . Yes its allowed according to the rules of the game but it doesn't make it right.

    As for getting with the change as you put it.....I will N E V E R waste hundreds of real dollars on something as useless as a dandy duck coop. This is just a source of entertainment to me when i'm not busy in "my real life", this game ISN'T my life. If this game ever shuts down i'll sleep like a baby because I know I didn't waste money on it, will u do the same??

    OMG, I would love to hear something constructive not the bickering thats going on please you can email this garbage back and forth. There are a lot of people on all the servers that are unhappy with GGS. the frequency of CC, taking of the gold flowers and GL this bickering is not helping the situation we need cool calm and collected minds working together. Our coop on US server are only doing one to two missions daily NO buying or using gold during the CC if everyone took a stand we could have a chance to make a difference. Sad how GGS is treating its players lets support one another and hope for better days ahead.
