Cooperative Championship Praise
UPDATE: It appears I have spoken too soon as it appears I am mistaken in my belief that GGS did away with the buying of reputation points Hot Deal during the championship as more than one player has seen this offer during the period I didn't. (See below replies.) Therefore, I RETRACT MY PRAISE until such time it is actually gone (if that should occur).
Comments
The outright buying of reputation points during the championship makes the "cooperative championship" a farce and only about who can and will spend the most money and NOT which cooperative can play the best cooperatively. The championship has run several times now without the deal being offered. Hope it is NEVER offered DURING the championship again (nor any other deal that amounts to the same thing of buying the win).

Did they really remove it? That's cool. I wouldn't notice cause that was the last drop which made me nearly completely ignore all these so called co-op champs.
Also, I didn't consider that the top 10 spend gold heavily to win those places. It would be nice if the co-op championship was just that and didn't involve purchasing of any kind to win.
I did not see that particular offer during the last co-op championship but I did see it in the one before.
I don't believe all the top 10 co-ops "spend gold heavily" as the co-op I'm in finished in the top 10 and, although I think we have a few who use gold on occasion, I don't use any in missions and finished in the top 5 of my co-op ranking (nearly 2 million RP).
Where would the gold spending, during the championship, stop, exactly? With spending actual gold to finish a mission? What about those who have used gold to purchase fertile fields? Could they be used during the CC or would those crops not count? How about library books purchased with gold? Or using seaweed/premium feed/humus purchased with gold. What about using the powerhouse farm machine at its top level? Would that be allowed? Even the current hot deal, of 250% more RP for a specific length of time requires the purchase of gold.
Gold is part of the game. Where should the cut-off point be during the championship?
Edit: Thinking back, I haven't seen it for the last two championships. It was the one before THAT that I saw the 'buy RP' hot deal last.
So... yes and no to the top ten being heavy gold spenders.

In my case i play a lot of missions mainly because i am handicapt due to a trafficaccident while working as a trucker. Last co-op challenge i played 173 missions. Had a total of 2.9 million rp-points. But there is a but. I had 108 solo missions and many with 2 players ,and in that missions my opponent did not harvest anything.So a lot of poor rp-points missions
I spend in total 2783 gold to push the mission i had with more than 2 players. I think it is unfair to call high ranked players as heavy gold users.
I had 4 temporary ducks on my gourmetfarm just for the eggs and dung missions. You don,t need to be a mathematic wizzard to calculate that with my powerhouse on step 3=NO gold use a few missions with 6 players i won +60.000 rp-points.
If i used my 20.000 gold i had on my counter before the co-op challenge started all.Then i consider myself as a big gold user.
When i count my playing hours during the complete challenge i still have a very low averge in rp-points.
Thanks to the so-called non excisting solo-missions.
And when the opponent likes to spend every day us$50,- so it be it, thanks to those players we can play a nice game wich i still like to play.
Happy Farming and i don,t care to loose a mission. I only HATE solomissions
Thank you.....I stand corrected. It is unfortunate that this offer is made during the championship and I stand by my opinion of it.
Good points DuffyPoo22 and the rest of you on the other gold spending though and it is nice to know that the top 10 coops didn't necessarily get there solely by heavy gold usage and buying of rep points. Gives the rest of us hope!
If that is the case I'll probably reconsider at some point my view of co-op championships. Two mil RP in 5 days or so is a very good result. I think I had some 130 k or so, but I really didn't bother. Still for 2 mill I'd probably need much better developement of my main farm and a lot more commitment to the champ. While the former is comming, I doubt about the latter.
Uhm, I think you are calling out the wrong person in this message. In my message I talked about how my co-op, which was top ten, had many non-gold users who scored over one million, and we wouldn't have been top ten without them!
We have some gold spenders too, obviously. But I was opposed to the idea that the top ten are all "heavy" gold users.

I have a very modest main farm: 6 chicks, 4 cows, 4 pigs, 7 fields (one used for non-mission crops), and only 2 ducks, 2 goats and 1 donkey on the GF.
The last two championships were more than 5 days, though. This last one was 7 or 8, I've forgotten...it's all a blur. ;( I did do 157 missions.
Your modest farm is still big compared to mine. Now that number of mission with search times amounts to about 80 hours. If it was 6 or 7 days - I don't remember, really ignored that event for the most part - that would be over 13 or 11 hours of playing daily respectively. Well yeah, that's the kind of devotion I don't have..............
In any case, thanks for your clarification. It helps me get a more precise picture.
For the record and to help further clarification, the best co-ops on UK server were over 60 milion rep points if I remember it well.
The last two championships did not have the "buy rep points" hot deal. At least I never saw them, and believe me, I played a lot. I achieved over 1 million points in the first one, and very nearly 2 million in the second and use absolutely NO gold whatsoever. I finished in the top 5 in my co-op in the second CC.
The co-op I'm in finished in the top 10 both times. There are some gold users in our group but I don't think any of them use massive amounts, and, as I said, I used none and I'm quite sure that many others used none.
