THX for your post debj - well said, loud and clear! Much appreciated! :thumbup:
Let me translate that......it means YES the hot deal will definetely be running during next coop challenge but this time we will be sure to iron out all bugs to make sure lazy players have full access to this feature.
Giving players the opportunity to take a hot deal that essentially buys 120-250k reputation points 7 times is morally wrong. A player that clicks this offer 7 times and organises others within their coop to do so is "not playing in the spirit of the competition". I personally am relieved that my entire group has boycotted this stupid deal, at least we leave this challenge with trophy and cherry and most importantly our integrity.
Well said and Well done to you and your co op
I am laughing again at the thought that Nafaru was the author, that was an official announcement from GGS, there are at least 3 contradictions in it. Never mind a bigger barge to move all the GGS manure i'll need one of those massive ocean going ships. I just cannot stop laughing at that announcement, its almost as good as telling your kids that the tooth fairy is real.
Last one because I am fed up with it.. I agree with the post from Maryanne, I did not get involved with all the bragging rights this time, I helped a small co-op and one person could buy more rep points than they have got from missions, but they tried hard and lost 20 ranking places after the hot deal started. The next mission challenge I'll be logging of for 5 or 6 days, maybe if a lot of us did that, they would realise what a mistake they made doing this hot deal, If they act upon it is another thing !
It's shameful in my opinon. Why bother playing when you can just BUY your win. Shameful!!!! To top it off, I was offered 100 percent prime time money twice during the rep sale. Once was right before it started than again before it showed again. I am grateful for the 100 percent prime time money, its the only time I buy gold, but to make it even easier for others to buy rep points to win is awful, imo
Please stop this practice asap or next time I will not waste my valuable time playing the co-op challenge.
But, I'm sure Goodgame will continue the practice just as they do in their Empire game during an event very similar to our co-op challenge.
Money, Money,Money - what a sad world this has become. I guess it has truly become, that whomever has the most money does win, even in the co-op challenge. Oh well
That's crazy! First of all I would not purchase RP. I prefer to do missions & earn RP by working for it. But if I were going to buy RP I would only do it to help my co-op. I certainly wouldn't join another co-op for them to benefit from my money!
*Another reason for me to question, what is wrong with people?*
Thats whats annoying me the most, it was a direct attack on my group for winning last challenge (fairly I might add, we have never bought rep points) and a strategy to block all other groups from any chance of the win. I cant believe GGS would even allow for something like this to happen because its not in the spirit of the game. Its not even about winning or losing at this point, as a leader I just feel really bad for the players that put soooo much time and effort into this only to have it stolen away. Lots of missions turned solo after this happened because other groups saw it and probably just gave up.
FTP games are "customer" based, even free-players play big role in how they get their share in the online gaming market because free-players are majority and they play the role of "advertisement" and "reputation", not to add that if alot of even "paying" customers are also unhappy with this Hot Deal right now, then I can't agree with your reasoning at all.
yes that's exactly what i mean too, and problem is not " revenue-wise" even, in short term with such deals they may earn even "more" money from "less" customers. but ignoring "customer" satisfaction, is like dropping themselves to the level of many other failed FTP games and the worst and most obvious mistake that any company even can do in these days to their company.
so if even in short-term they earn more revenue, in long-term the damage that such marketing strategies(revenue based-ignore customer satisfaction) can do to a company will be irreversible even.
THIS is what it is all about and what we can expect.
While some players are complaining about the unfairness of the option "buying rep points", the above kind of players laugh at us and buy their way up in the rankings.... They think to themselves "let them whine & cry in the forum and in the meantime we will winn everything" and do not care one bit whether they achieved things by buying their way out or whether they worked hard for it. In fact they might even find us stupid for 'working at all' on our farms - often these are the same players who bought many, many progress/growth/upgradings on their farms.
GGS gives them the opportunity so they grab it - I don't agree but it is a simple fact. It's similar to the real world: we don't, they do, so they win. :S
you are right so no point in doing the missions next time really what a waste of all my time spent doing them for what ?????
To help your co-op out? Its one of the few times/ways big farms can help little farms out. The prizes don't mean much to the upper echelons, but can be a boon to the lower ones.
That doesn't mean I like having the Buy Gold Earn Rep hot deal, especially not in an unbalanced, random fairness reducing way. But I do think there is more to the Championship than 'winning'.
-Y
I agree with this completely.
also yes I agree that there's nothing that can be done to what happened in the past two finished co-op events. but the aim of this thread is to avoid further damage to the game and that event at least from next time. and if GGS keeps on ignoring it more and more every time it'll cost them to lose enough reputation and loyal customers too, so its not "us" that only should be worried about this deal mainly anyway, we will just give our honest feedback as "gamers" that "liked this game" and if they care they will change things and if they don't care then we will go find another game and game company that we like more, sooner or later anyway. it won't be the end of world for us, but it may result in losing "leadership" in FTP market for them.
and let whoever wanna laugh, laugh. if it wasn't for players like us giving feedback about bakery too for example, those players would still probably be sitting and making stuff in the previous version of bakery and actually lose money without ever even realizing that something was wrong with that.
In My experience this are a clear sign of multi accounts :rolleyes:
and to comments about RP for gold I left my trofee for last time in the dropbox since someone in the coop bougth RP just to get more RP and reach the endgoal getting that!! thats also one of the reasons I'm not in a coop and didn't get in to any after leaving that coop since My worst fear the buying of RP came back to this Coopevent !! have been in the past for a long time at the top of the RP list whitout using gold and vould reach whit lots of hard work between 2.4 mill to 2.7 mill in a week and have been the amount the winner of the week had reach normaly!!! today it's over 6.1 mill for the topspot
and since they allso have done buying horses for gold the reason to stay in this game are also very much gone thi9nk I migth be able to win this season because I did lots of thougths around the breeding and worked hard to get preperede and had the best horse but don't think next season I'll have any chance ;( so for a loyal long time custommer it's going to be good bye in near future
