     One of these days it will just be gold players playing this game! 
    I'm sure they would be happy if this happened.  They'd just find more and more ways for people to spend gold, and people will just lap it up and spend, spend, spend.



     There will be a lot less players for the golders to fight against therefore no need to spend as much gold.  hence gold sales go down.  Without me there they would have spent a lot less gold to get the win.  
    I don't think gold sales would go down.  The gold buyers have never really been using gold against the non-gold users, but against each other.  They'll continue to spend themselves into a frenzy trying to come out on top.

    Really sad to see members of your own coop using the wheel to take the top ranking spot that you have worked so hard for away from you....

    ive got no problem with players who choose to buy their way to the top, it's a mechanic of the game, and they have every right to use it if they see fit to throw money at it in that way

    my problem is with the deception of the presentation of this big new event that was all embracing trying to find the best BF players around the world and regional prowess

    it's a farce - they always knew they were gonna run a wheel 24/7 from a few days out but totally and deliberately left that fact out amongst all the diatribe and explanation of how the event worked and would run

    i dont give a crap however GGS dress up from here on in, it's an absolute farce that is totally meaningless with regard to who are the best farmers

    it's simply about who are the biggest spinners for the most part

    tho thankfully on my server the person who is going to win deserves to win cos they've been way out in the lead from a few days in and the spinners wont catch her

    i sympathise with those who busted a gut to do their best (im one of them) and see the spinners simply eating any lead away in a matter of hours, all i say is remember this and next time you're tempted to put in any major effort in a new event dont get fooled again

    the game for the most part will belong to spinners and GGS arent gonna change that cos probably in this event over most, it's proven a very good cash cow

    Outside the topic, but this one is totally unfair.

    But if ggs don't use unfair means how they will earn 
    I was in top 20 since 32 days hahaha the moment it came I was gone out of bounds of top 20

    i lost count on how many times the wheel appeared. And every time the top gets besides all they won from the wheel itself a 100,000 bonus or 90,000/80,000 etc

    just playing and use moderate gold can never keep up with that. I went from 2nd to 8 and probably will go to 11.The person with who i was batting for 1 is now at 4 i know he could easily win it but he choose like me to not go in the crazyness of spinning al there money away. I  have much respect for that and we are the real winners of the event. its sad that the ranking and ggs tricked us.

    Its most sad that ggs uses the weakness of people to spend much money on such event that started so nice. Because if there is an option to get to the top people will Always use it. someties to be simple the best and sometimes because they affraid that other will take there so earned spot. This wheel makes use of an addiction inside people and that is lower then low from ggs. I have now 1 day to resist mine addaction to start spinning too. I hope i can hold it. I very curios what local authoritys think of this kind of strategy.

    You can certainly decide to spin the wheel, at the end of the day it is your choice.   But keep it in perspective GGS is not responsible for people`s addictions and what they are doing is not illegal.  Even people who are addicted to gambling can still say no.

    At the end of the day this really is just a game.

    Your reaction shows clearly that you have no idea about addictions. Keep it that way i would say.

    a respectful company has also a responsibility in this

    @maxiroy (US1) I think your'e completely missing the point. First of all legality doesn't come into it, secondly the wheel makes that it isn't a game anymore, it's an auction.
  • Surya54 (INT1)Surya54 (INT1) INT1 Posts: 507
    Spend the money that you can't afford it is a gambling, but spend it with the full knowledge is a trade-off
  • Hope you'll reach on top 20 soon Mr. X @Xcution (INT1) :)

    the one thing that still amazes me is that players will spend shed loads of real life money to see their name on top or to get prizes and decors that  have no where near the value of what they are prepared to plough into this game i just got an offer for  just under 700,000 gold for a picture of nils  how on earth can GGS justify this insane price, its a picture for crying out loud, prize 110 in gold league  in CC was 1 special pineapple seed ONE not ten  just ONE seed, we can win boxes in early stages of CC then the prizes are just stupid after those, 

    sorry i went off track there lol 

    but as for the wheel in WCC they always put in a wheel at some stage we have all played this game long enough to know this might turn up at some point, dont like it  do something about it quitting game wont bother GGS theres always someone to take your place around the corner, stop buying gold make a statement let them know you've had enough. simple really while ever players are prepared to spend so much gold GGS will feed on them we all know that. we are small fish in a big sea " company name removed by me" is the shark that prey on small fish.

    I am afraid that's were you are wrong @maxiroy (US1) because there are laws that regulate gambling and online gambling is forbidden where I live and in most of Europe

    It is the company's responsibility/duty to make sure that the game content does not break the laws, not to mention that there isn't any identification of any sort prior to letting people open a game account, children involved with the game etc

    It is just a game but they really need to watch were it's going

    It really is no one's business how players spend their money, it is their money and they do what they want with it, and don't need your permission for that, as well as they don't need anyone's permission to go out for dinner or on holiday, or buy expensive cars, clothes etc

    It is the company's responsibility to provide a game that flows properly and its not full of hiccups and tricks and does not deviate from the promised content

    If the company was capable of delivering what promised many of the people who quit playing would still be playing, but GG seems to have lost the direction.

    The developers who were busy designing a farming game are long gone, as well as many other people busy developing other games for the company, and those who took their place have been given different directives

    Do you not understand they call it "addiction" for a reason.  If an addict could say NO, they would not BE an addict.  Addicts CANNOT say no, it is not in their vocabulary, that is WHY they are called addicts.

    Well it has finally happened, a low life golder has got past me, it has taken her around $1000 to do it, so don't tell me that my leaving won't hurt their pocket.  She would have not had to spend anywhere near  that if I was not there, next 1 behind me is still over 100k points behind.


    I got a heap of gold flower seeds so I am going to make her spend as much gold as I can before I leave, as I know no matter how much I push she will just spend more money.  Which I will not do.  But hope I hurt her on my way out.

    I also have over 10k of sea weed products to make her spend more gold.

    Here she goes doing the WoF  AGAIN
  • artful (US1)artful (US1) US1 Posts: 6,617
    This is nuts, Byron, just nuts. Online road rage.  You're going to have a nervous breakdown over what?  A computer farming game?  And if she spends more, you're making her do exactly what GGS wants.  

    Be cool. Even if you're leaving, we want you to be calm, happy, and healthy.  :)

    you're kind of missing the point artful

    it's not roadrage about an online farming game

    its the fact he has worked hard for over a month to build (judging by what's been said) an unassailable lead, only for GGS to move the goal posts in this new 'holy grail' of farming events and change it into a gambling casino style game

    and to add insult to injury, it's not as tho there is any kind of balance to it at all - if it was a choice of farming hard or playing the wheel for the same outcome (in effect a non-gold and a gold route) that would be bad enough

    but no, it's been turned on its head where weeks of hard work = sweet zippo compared to the points that can be accumulated in mere minutes on the wheel

    and GGS were particularly sly about it, not mentioning in their big fat announcement a thing about they were looking for the best gamblers

    if they'd said that, fine, we'd all just farmed as normal and let the gamblers get on with it from day one

    Oh, I understand all that, Corvid.  And I warned people before the event even started that the golders would throw money at it in the end.  And it does suck that people weren't given a heads up that a wheel would be involved.  This has been GGS's MO for years now, and I simply have come to expect it.  Doesn't make it right or fair.  I know this.

    I think you missed my point -- I am responding only to Byron's last post -- trying to make this person use up all her money by depleting his resources and making GGs that much richer in the bargain, and he'll show them by walking off and won't they be sorry..  He seemed to have gone postal about the thing -- his rage is palpable ...  I merely pointed out that having a nervous breakdown over a farming game was not good for his health.

    Are you all sure it is just gold spenders? If you have done the temp island and made millions of shells, you can buy lots of wheel tokens with that.

    I think the simple solution however, as has already been mentioned, is to allow the wheel to maybe give some championship coins but not points that can change the rank. The horse on this has already bolted however.

    this is how much support I have on our server.  I have made my way back to the lead and more that 5 players have said they are going to use over 500 spins to make her use her gold to beat me.  Now that the support and teamwork I like.

    @Rusty Farmer (AU1) do you not know who is coming 2nd now a well known gold buyer.

    rusty i dont think you realise the scale here, on our server, for at least one individual we are not talking in the hundreds, we're talking thousands

    altho that is besides the point, my grievance isnt with any individual or how they choose to play, mine is with GGS making a farce out of their new prime event and being deceptive about it in the process

    second time around i imagine it will be played very differently by the majority of players who grafted this time - in short, we dont give a rat's ass about your gambling event
  • I do not like the Wheel of Fortune for the Worldwide event. It is unfair to the people who actually completed the work to get up in rank. i was ranked 28 and in hours I was 40. i am now in the 60's. This is a long event and the Wheel of Fortune ruined it. I will not do this event again if the Wheel is included for the people who will use gold to buy their way to the top.

    Happy me have not looked where i stand-  as you have said artful we knew what was going to happen it is their MO so sorry and surprised at the people who somehow thought GGS would actually have an event that was not about the Gold. 
    Well I went and took a look at ranking 273 which is fine
