the rewards have been shown be targeting low level players 40 wet pig feed? for 1.7 million points in the HWE? you and i make 1000s of this per day.
new players are apt to by more gold and spend recklessly - they haven't caught on to the glitches, the delays, the false promises, the lost gold, etc. nor learned effective strategies to play yet but the competition will keep them gold buying for a while.
I would say the bean counters can judge very accurately how much a new player vs an experienced player will purchase in gold. The gold an experienced player buys probably levels out to similar purchase $$ in xx # of months so that $$ has already been factored in. Same with average length of time a player stays with the game.
Taking away rewards like the seaweed, treasure boxes, occasional gold and GMLs that let us play based on learned strategies is similar to a grocery store that changes all the accustomed aisles around actually makes people spend more.Do remain as competitive as you were (ie: purchase to supplement what is now gold only purchase) or find a new way to play?
for all of CM_Hunter's protestations a "new automatic vs manual reward randomizer" has been put into place the proof is in the pudding and we all know where the pudding man is going these days....
I am a housewife. I used to have time to do things like grocery shop, go have lunch somewhere, etc. Now, I feel pressured to plan grocery shops in the thin sliver of time between CHWE and Cooperative Championship.
Geeze will I make it home in time?!
I don't think there is one
Oh, and 35 MILLION points and zero GML's???
Any response from @WascallyWabbit @PicklePaws reply this needy person
Of course the game used to "give more" when it was at the beginning. That's called marketing. The game needed a player base so it offered more to attract one. It's like opening a new business... you have to give some stuff for free so that people try it.
I really don't understand all of these complaints... It's like you wanna have your cake and eat it too. And if you let a game dictate your life (e.g. when to do groceries or have lunch out), then maybe it's time you log off a little. It's an online game, it's not the real world. You don't gate fairness in the real world and you expect it in an online game... All of this reminds me of my 87 year old neighbor from across the street who complains non stop that her lawn is not green enough.
It's going to give the advantage to paying customers, yet it seems the perks
for non-paying or small-time gold buyers, is getting a smaller and smaller margin.
You can't blame a free-to-start game to do such things, and keeping yourself at a level
that you're comfortable playing at - is at a cost, change your ideals for the game.
I used to blow 100 bucks a month, without breathing hard, on GG Empire.
To me, the game demanded the extra in-game currency to keep up.
This game, though it has it competitive side to is, is so far more low-key.
Maybe taking a step back might be a decent idea. I cut off the other game,
for my own sake and the sake of my bank account.
GGS require non-paying players for the pay to win players to flog.
They need to be very careful to judge how to not drive the cannon fodder away. Seems to me that in the last few months they have already fatally misjudged it .
The forums are full of players, even paying ones, questioning their willingness to stay.
The game has to be fun/entertaining, not a chore.
For the gold spenders, their fun is winning.
For the cannon fodder, they are unlikely to win, but they can be rewarded, take away rewards and what is left to play for?
If they drive away the cannon fodder, the gold spenders wont need to spend as much if anything at all to win. If the gold spenders don't spend, where will the income come from?

SO here the dumb thing is AGAIN. I don't enjoy it like I once did.
To top it off, all three of my farms keep getting the SAME MISSION BACK TO BACK!
I can't do Milk twice in a row. Even the dumb goats aren't restocked that fast.
Tossing in the towel. I got some points on the board so coop leaders won't think I'm just not playing,
but I simply don't care about this over and over and over and over and over zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
GGS acts like the stuff in this game is REAL and that they are being put out by giving a few bags of seaweed weed, a couple GMLs, or paying us a bit more for our deepsea fish. While I understand there are server costs and employees cost, etc - I have also seen the newsletters showing how much they are making off Bigfarm and Empire and I know they are making a killing. They think if they take away all the perks that the players will spend more gold; this could not be farther from the truth. They are making the players work much harder and spend much more time on the game and in turn are upsetting players as well as burning players out.
Our reward for being dedicated players - wet pig feed.
Maybe GGS needs to shut the game down for a month or so and go back to the drawing board to re-build from the ground up - both the loss of revenue and players are a given but maybe GGS would have a product worth peddling.
Players just want a working game - this is not that hard to accomplish There literally thousands of online games to attest to an ability to function consistently.
