From Ape-regina, leader of the top ranking coop, Astro Shining, to Big Farm, and to all the farmers:
This game and the coop challenge in particular, has unfortunately evolved into an arrogant race for unreasonable victory. This general madness is exceeding the positive limits of the game. This is NOT competition! The time has come for us to take a stand in favor of the true spirit and sportsmanship that used to characterize the game. At the moment, the winner will be the player who has the most gold, even if he is less capable at strategy than players with less gold. This is unfair and has gone on long enough. GGS is deaf to the general dissatisfaction of players.
Astro Shining, one of the top ranking coops on the International 1 server, has decided to set an example for all! We, as members of Astro Shining, want to object against the way the game is changing and in so doing, we also speak for those who value the same principles as we do.
We REFUSE to continue this "Killing Game". We say stop! As long as things do not change, we do not compete anymore. If this will involve our descent in the rankings, it does not matter! We are second in the top ranking. When they restore the values of healthy sportsmanship, respect for each other as opponents, loyalty and fairness, Astro Shining will recover its place in the general ranking: we are strong, united, and well organized. We can do it!
If any Astro member wants to compete, he or she will do it as a traveling player in the utmost fairness and of its ability, in coops that need strong players, then return to the group. But not under the flag of Astro!
It's time to change, and to regain the right values! Astro Shining is doing just that!
Good game to all

What they should do is introduce an event like the CC that all could take part in and not be able to use "Gold" and or "Seaweed" for the time of the event. IMO
IMHO a contest isn't a contest if you can predict which coop will win the highest prize and which coop member will win within the coop.
GGS met us half way when they changed the CC by putting different leagues in the contest, but do agree with Data King that they will never ever change the whole CC as we would wish for.
Fully agree with Data King's suggestion
We should be given the option of joining a league that uses gold or a league that doesn't. The gold using league would have better rewards but at least the strategic farmers would have a chance of winning once in a while.
We all want the perfect game, but we are all refusing to see the issue here. Although GGS has free players and it is a free game they like most businesses have employees, a board of directors and a few other people that require money to survive. Whether you are first place, fifth place or last place you play the game at your own risk and need to understand that this is a business, not a charity. The point of any company is to make money. They are not going to change their operation to please anyone but themselves which is going for the players that are willing and able to use gold to either purchase seaweed everything for instant gratification or gold itself. It isn't going to change their way of doing business, and all though we all want it to be the perfect game it isn't so whether you do the challenge or don't do the challenge, whether you buy gold, play the wheel or not this is the way it is. They see this as a way of making money, therefore this is what they are going to do no matter the amount of protest there is. They do however give us the forum to vent and rant at the way things are going so that we continue to play their game and accept the status quo. Use the forum as you see fit, make your declarations of whatever you are protesting and understand that if it doesn't cut into their profit margin they may see their way clear to help. The most recent bugs should give you an idea of what they will do or won't do and I have to say it isn't a great deal that they are willing to do whether you are a gold player or not.
The only way you will get a protest to work is to get with ALL the players and we strike refuse to spend gold, refuse to play the game. Why won't this work? Cause there are always people willing to be scabs, besides how many people do you know can get together and all agree on course of action if you aren't their parent, someone with a gun, religious leader, or their boss?
I agree with your ideals and our needs to make this game fairer and saner. I hope that GGS is listening and understanding that most of us believe in a democracy rather then a dictatorship, but I am not holding out much hope for it. I wish you luck in your efforts Ape-regina and that your coop survives the protest, but I seriously wouldn't hold my breath for the changes you are hoping for because once one starts getting paid, it is something that is very hard to give up.
Respectfully submitted,
FW22
Happy farming
Fair play yes gold play no
Yes Laura enough is enough if GG BF wants only gold spender they can I will not be a part of it, I do spend Gold but not crazy to spend on all and each and every event or task mainly Corp Challenges.
If Astro takes a stand that does include me
Just take away the ability to purchase REP points - no wheel, no shopping bags etc... everyone should have to play missions and actually compete to win them within the game rules or shelve them and take their chances.
