    johanne lets face the top coops in each of the servers are going to be in the top gold or no they have power players and farms, experience, and team numbers so lets not squabble but stay focused on the purpose to have GGS treat us fairly.

  • I am a middle of the road player no flash no glitz.  I like the game for the companionship and the challenge of doing something that is supposed to be relaxing and enabling ( yeah I know I live in the real world too)  I am not one of those that has been around since the beginning but I am around now.  The thing that interest me is the fact that for some reason as intelligent individuals you can't see that this is becoming stupid.  Where I am sitting I see three choices play the game your own way in your own time and ignore what's going on with GGS,and the gold mungers, do it their way or don't do it at all..  

    One coop at a time embargoing the game isn't going to work.  You have to hit them where it hurts the most in the pocket.  You have individuals that don't care they just want to be on top when the event ends no matter what the event is, and they will use any means necessary to accomplish this goal.  There are those that play because they just like the feeling of accomplishment that reaching each plateau brings.  Then there are those that prefer nonviolence and clicking.  They don't want to shoot anyone, they don't want to kill anyone they don't want to see blood or race a car or figure out what is missing they want to relax and enjoy an occasional conversation and meet the goals of the game at their own pace.

    Now here's the problem.  There is a company attached to the game.  It needs and require money to put it on so it sells gold.  They have discovered that there are some players that will purchase huge amounts of gold with ready cash from the real world to be on top of the game and they want to encourage those players because the bottom line is earning a profit.  Their shareholders demand it, their employees demand it and their grandparent really needs that operation, so they sell it to those that want to be on top all the time and those that want to stay even and the occasionally player that wants to hurry something along so they can build, or upgrade more things during that time that if needed the architect is available. They discovered that if they give the gold flowers and the gold license it cuts into their profit which makes their stockholders unhappy and their employees unhappy because those good time bonus are not going to happen and they might have to take a cut in salary or bonus.  They pass this unhappiness on to the players and they voice their disgust on the forum and the shareholders and employees laugh themselves silly on the way to the bank cashing the profits they have earned from those disgruntled players..

    The solution is simple.  Organize: discover which coops are unhappy about changes,  and problems.that are a consistent source of irritation on the game, not individuals because as you have been shown it doesn't work they keep doing what suits them. if each coop gets at least 5 other coops to agree to 1. not do the challenge. or 2 if they do do the challenge not to use extra sources (gold) to purchase things that will enhance playing.  Not to spend gold during regular play as well and keep it up until there is a change, the laughter has stopped and they are actually paying attention to what the players are saying about the game and the problems with it.

    The players are going to have to be honest with themselves and each other.  No buying gold on the side and using it discretely.  Not purchasing anything from the guy in the red truck. ignoring Omars' deals, not playing the wheel, not using gold to get collections faster when hunting for something or doing a weekly event, not using gold to help on the temp farms or any other way you use gold on the game. and if you are accepting gold on either the test server or daily sign ins you can't use that either no gold at no time until the problem is resolved.  It might work but there are going to be those that say "bite me" or see this as opportunity to get ahead and use the gold anyway or form gold using coops which is going to weaken your stance a great deal.

    You also need to understand up front this is not going to be an overnight process it's going to take a while to get their attention, and once you get their attention it's going to get nasty cause you are interfering with their money and I know for fact if any of you got shorted on a paycheck you would raise the devil of a stink until it was corrected.

    So who's for grabbing the tiger by the tail?

    You are a very good  and eloquent orator, I vote you organise it, and we will follow you, I have no problem with being one of the Indians, people squabble and clash with each other and lose sight of the big picture, it becomes about personalities and not issues.

    So ...how is the embargo holding ?   Are we seeing any major changes, better, same, worse ?   About to play my first mishes....curious on whether it gained traction or not ?

    Gosh you must have written this before you read the post above from funnywalker22 , that must be the only explanation for it.

    Sadly Barb - I must admit I didn't read it in full .  Thx
  • Sanic (AU1)Sanic (AU1) AU1 Posts: 53

    ok so finally read it ..in full.  What does this mean?   The player who called for the boycott is off the hook ? 

    Seems a lot of unnecessary flack was started for nothing, and the current game stats suggest that the same co-op didn't ever believe or support their own team member - current posts are outside what is theoretically possible from a farm with out help.

    No..Barbs...before you post ...this is not personal...this simply is to highlight how futile the whole thing was to start with.

    Well Jan, I don't see it in anyway personal, that implies a connection, there is none. But in trying to undermine what I am saying you are undermining the issue's the whole thing started with, because GGS is removing GL and Gold flowers from the prizes. that is the only gold that the younger ones in our co-ops have to obtain any gold what so ever. Surely even you could support that stand, as for being off or on a hook again Jan you are making it personal.

    What next scoffing at accents?lolol

    Not only taking the gold flowers and GML they said better deco and they gave us miserable 45 happy like i said it is like they think we are stupid. I am in for long haul my bank account will be happier with less withdraws for GGS.  I think and have said so this may take awhile but rome wasnt built in a day.
