    yes with gold you can do better in missions then without it. but stil they have to play the missions and play hard. Someone with no gold but much time can keep up good in rep points. And stil someone with gold can do better but not so much. In that respect i think its right to say be happy that players spend gold so you can play the game free. If you spend 20 dollar in the game you really can have a good championship with the best. I did it. Its then about using that money smartly and use it in the right missions, choose your battles. if you have only 20 dollar a year choose your moment and have fun that time. If you not want to spend that money in the game then be happy that you can play for free. And 20 dollar a year is not much i think much of us spend this also if they go out in the real world for a day.

    But if there is an option to buy more then 10 milj reputation points (and that what is happening with the wheel) then the balance is way over the top gone. then only the few rich have fun and 99,9% is disgusted. Not a smart business model in mine opinion.

    Even with the wheel gone, the problem still persists. It still costs 1 gold to skip 90 seconds of harvesting, so people can easily get thousands or tens of thousands of a certain product. I guess with the wheel gone it would take a little bit longer to get the same result, but it doesn't really level the playing field by that much. Tbh though I wasn't here for the previous CC's so maybe things were better then.

    @CM Popeye  has GGS also heard that most people are actually not so fond of the CC ?
    They have indeed. This opinion is pretty much the same on all of our servers, and we will present the information to the game team very soon.

    The WoF is really bringing out the creative and the "whatever it takes" attitude in some... Thanks for some of the top CC US players to show us how wrong this WoF is.

    I suggest that the reps are only won by the top 5 and 50 of the wheel. No reps in regular spin and additional spin. No speedy feed in the regular spin reward pretty please LOL

    Special seeds are nice...

    @rezalik


    not true what you say there. the top players now have over the 20 milj rep points in 3 days thanks to the wheel.

    in other championships the top players had around the 10 miljon in 7 days. see the different?

    with a little bit of gold (spend 20 dollar) i managed to reach 5 miljon. so this wheel of fortune is a compleet different thing and brings the balance way over the top wrong

  • the top players now have over the 20 milj rep points in 3 days thanks to the wheel.

    I understand that the RP gap is much wider now in comparison to the previous CC's because of the wheel, but what I'm saying is that the gap was always there. The only difference now is that it's just bigger since it's a little easier to get RP with the wheel. It's still about who spends the most gold during the CC and I'm not saying that in an insulting manner; it's just how it is. I just think that the broader issue concerning your initial post is, within a sentence, "People who spent more gold are getting way more, whereas the people who spent less gold don't have as much as those people". If I misunderstood what you meant, I apologize in advance. If you were ok with the CC as it was before with no complaints about it, then sure, removal of the WoF would fix it. I just interpreted the core of your statement to be the sentence I quoted above, but I might've been wrong about it.

    I suspect the change in boosters is affecting scores more than the WoF.  If both the player and Co op have boosters set at high levels, this would affect scores more than the WoF prizes could.  The million pt top prize is only handed out to 5 players per session and a session is more than 24 hours.  I don't know how many points are offered in the jackpot, but it's less than 1 mil.  Mostly you get seeds and, my personal favorite, speedy feed.
  • paultje1975 (US1)paultje1975 (US1) US1 Posts: 163

    no shazamd there are people who buy 10,000 tokens they get more then 15 milj rep points with it in the wheel and this was only 1 time wheel. every 8 spins they win 5,000 to 15,000 rep poins and in the super spin they can win up to 40,000 each time (each 8 tokens). you do the math

    already the wheel appeared now for 3th time.


    the boosters are less now. you can get in normal way 90% and in extreme gold use you can make it 120-130%. in previous championships you had the coop boosters of 70% and you could buy rep boosters of 150% makes total of 220%


    i stop playing this game they are really beating the fun out of it.

    i already gave up mine leadership of the nr2 coop and i think i will leave this game

    When I first began playing, the playing field between those who bought gold and those who didn't was pretty even. Eventually though, many additions to the game were made. Competitions with rankings were added one by one until the non-gold buyers didn't have a prayer of competing against gold buyers. Now I can see by the remarks in this thread that the disparity has reached a point where the players who buy small amounts of gold can no longer compete with the players who have deep pockets. What will be the result? Hard to say, but it's my opinion that the players who only buy small amounts of gold (GGS customers, mind you) will get fed up with the uneven playing field and stop buying gold altogether. Then you'll be left with only players who don't buy gold and those who spend large amounts on a regular basis. Big gold buyers will be competing to outspend the other big gold buyers. Oh well, time will tell. :)

    Totally agree with farmerjohn, soon this so called fairer event called the Co op Challenge is going to bite them where it hurts. Yes we need player who want to buy and use Gold, yes we want players who will spend money on buying Gold. After all that is how those who can not afford to spend real money on a game can still play. GGS is a business, here to make money. I have no problem with that. Making the game so all can enjoy it is a tough order to fill. Making it fairer for all should not be that tall of an order. I still think if there were 2 Co op Challenge events then all would be happier. A win win in my books.

    this milking cow must be deleted soon. You can buy 1st spot with hardly any harvesting. A big boohhhhh
  • Anyone else had problems with the wheel of fortune. I had 3 coins left and an error code appeared when I tried to spin the wheel. Logged out and then back in again to see if that would help. Lost the three coins :-(

    @landgirl5 (GB1)  Please try reloading your game again, using CTRL+F5 to see if that helps, if it doesn`t you will need to contact support. Tell them the time that it happened or as close as you can remember, to make it easier for them to check.

    I hope you get your coins back :)
  • Thank you for the advice  :)
  • The server running at GGS thought you had no coins left, but for some reason the client on your computer showed 3 coins left.  When you tried to use a coin, the server sent back an error because it thought you had no coins. Reloading gets the client and server back in sync.
  •  I for one am sick  of hearing about the wheel as Paul  has wrote many about it , and upset people so that than they did spin , I for one  had 60 tokens and  spend 10 of them  with no rep points  , got to 50 place  next day  with Paul still writing about this  to me . I spin the rest of them I got 40,000 only  and moved up to 12 place .  so what I make more doing missions than I did on the wheel ,   funny how people aren't playing and having a fit as always . and as for brats well I love them and I know if that duck was smaller they be fighting for it . but the size is to big so taking a stand? oh please at lease be honest . also  most use gold to pop in missions that is how player win it and always have . if no one use gold to pop in missions  u would be last each time . when the apple were given  no one can touch the brats  and so many wanted it . brats never gave a chance to other co-op . never sitting it out . so now everyone sits out not using gold  .hmmm duck to big . ? sure is  . if it was smaller . would u be in or out?   take a stand that the booster are to much money for us all  farm dollars and in gold . not  the fact of the wheel . only 5 people can get that million  It's their money to spend how each one wants to spend it . if you don't have it , don';t play it . simple enough . look at what sparkles cost  take a stand in that . 
  • @silk_ribbons (US1)  Brat Pack IS NOT sitting out because of the size of the duck. In fact, we were going to play when we first found out about the duck. After much discussion, as a group, it was decided that we needed to maintain our original position and sit out BECAUSE OF THE BOOSTERS, THE WHEEL, AND GENERAL GOLD SPENDING/PURCHASING. If players and /or coops have the gold, how they choose to spend it is their choice. GGS doesn't HAVE to offer so many ways to buy it or spend it during the cooperative championship. GGS needs to make the missions the focus of the championship, not who can spend the most gold in 5 days. Our players that are playing are upgrading tractors. Some of us are doing none, some of us are doing one a day. Will we fight for the duck in future? Possibly. Only the future will tell. In the meantime, I wish all the co-ops competing the best of luck. 
  • Flower fronds (US1)  what you been a brat a whole 5 mins it's a 16x12  no brat has that kind of room   and I am not downing them I care and Love the Brats .  that is a wonderful co-op  so step back .  Mark and Mary will address me as needed Thank you . I in fact  know very well the cost . it's no dance in the park . 
    Just where do you get off telling Flower fronds not to comment? Who died and make you Queen of the Forum? You had no idea of what transpired during the discussion over the Brats participation because you were not a part of it. So when Flower is kind enough to enlighten you, you choose to denigrate her? What a nice way to respond from a position of ignorance.

    Maybe Mark and Mary will respond to you but so will I. Learn some manners.
  • I, as a Brat , respect everyone's opinion, but to down a person for their comment is not right. Were all here to enjoy this game and flower is a great player and a great Brat member. Length of time should not be an issue for anyone. As farmers, lets stick together, not fight against each other.
  • FarmerMarkD (US1)FarmerMarkD (US1) US1 Posts: 119
    OK I don't want to fan the flames here. I agree with Gerry - we should all try to stick together and not  fight. 

    I would like to say that Flower portrayed the Brat Pack stand very accurately - we kept everyone in the loop on this decision and it was a hard one. Many of our members, especially those without fully developed farms, really wanted to go for the duck, and our first instinct was to try for it but without gold. That decision didn't sit well with many of our members, as we had taken the stand that we would sit it out and thought if we just gave in when GGS dangled the duck  in  front of us, we'd be going back on that. The final decision was a coop decision to sit it out, with most of us doing our daily missions, our players who were still building tractors doing back to back missions (business as usual in our coop) but no one using gold to push in missions. We also chose not to buy or use gold in any way during the challenge (which was admittedly hard to do lol - I never realized how often I use gold to give a little push when I was tired of waiting for something until I stopped doing it!). That decision was not made because of the size of the duck or any other consideration except that we felt we should stick to our original stand.

    Silk is a respected former member of our coop, the newly-minted leader of a newly-renamed coop (congrats Silk and best of luck!) and a friend to the Brats. Flower is a valued member of our coop and a great player. I don't want to start pointing fingers. Silk is certainly entitled to her opinion, and Flower has every right to respond as a member of the coop. 

    Let's get back to the real issue here - we all want this to be a better game for all involved. Instead of jumping on each other, let's hope that GGS will listen to what we are saying and help us improve our experience in this game we all love.
  •   I love this game.   However, I am not happy with the Wheel of Fortune, we work hard, some of us also pay real money too, and to find at the "jackpot" end of it, we can sometimes  only win 1 coin, 1 humus etc.   To those who run this game, please be more generous to the hard workers on here.   
       Thank You
  • Has anyone else noticed that they are not getting a free token for the wheel of fortune when it turns up?  Been saving up my tokens but it's taking forever as not getting the free ones.
  • @Carla Barton (GB1) Monty stopped giving free tokens when he started to visit the temp farms, because he was here almost all the time in one place or another or both & it was too many tokens. Instead we get them more often from our fields when he is around. :)
  • But no drops without NORMAL WOF. :'(
  • I paid three million dollars for twenty five spins on wheel of fortune , and never received them.

    Have you tried using Ctrl + F5 or clearing your browser cache to see if the spins show up? :)
