If that is how you see it then hey you know what they say, opinions are like noses everybody has one.
Maybe that's the key to a resolution? A set number of certificates for each placement. As far as I understand it, the number of certificates earned currently depends on how much less you collected compared to the 1st place player (please correct me if I'm wrong). I've come in 5th out of 6 players and still only got 1 certificate. It would have been nice to get 2 or 3.
The only issue I see with no-gold missions is basically this is shutting off GGS revenue for half hour on how many players choose it . . . since there is no easy way to distinguish between using gold for mission and using gold for the other normal activities you are doing during the mission . . . I don't see GGS doing this. And if the player keeps continuing choosing a no-gold mission over and over again then that player's gold spending would be shut down for the entire time they are doing missions (and as some players have quoted - they do missions six hours straight which is probably the whole time they are in the game). No-gold missions just don't make sense when your business depends on selling gold.
The easiest thing to do is close your little mission window and play for yourself. This has been mentioned several times by different players and I wholeheartedly recommend it.
Forget about where you place compared to others, there will always be someone more advanced or with better strategy or whatever somewhere out there. Just play for yourself and you will find missions much more enjoyable.
I was also thinking there could be a limit to how many of these missions could be played at any one time.
Rhinana, gold isn't easily accessible by everyone, but superseeds and such are. I see no reason to cut those out.
Ok so then I use all my gold to stock up on super hummus and super seeds (via water), then I win all my missions using my gold bought fertile fields. (PS this is hypothetical)
Do you see my point? Eliminating the use of gold during the actual mission will not eliminate people totally whooping other players during missions. People use other means to win and someone will always find some aspect of this unfair.
GeorgenollieUse also has a really good point regarding GGS's business model.
I'd like to add that some people save and save their earned gold specifically to use in situations like missions. Shutting off gold for those players would be quite unfair as that gold is accessible to everyone.
Nah, not really.
Hi Wildcard,
Are you saying that this individual was in two separate missions and earned 3k or more wildflowers back to back? then yes they most likely pushed with gold if that is what your saying...Wildflowers don't take that long either. And not that much to push...you can wait through most a mission then push right at the end. For some this doesn't cost a lot..To each their own. I wouldn't be suspiscous of anyone who had over 3k in one mission then 3k in another either. I would just think they used gold. Take care.
And the farms still exist. I went up against a player today for an egg mission. I have 4 chicken and 4 duck coops (just don't have room or workers for more) and the person that crushed the competition has 30 chicken and 8 duck coops, all of them above level 5. The cows sheds and goat stable numbers are similar. No pigs or donkeys. Cheater? No, golder? It's possible, the farm has only gold purchased houses.
Decorations? Well nice of you to ask. On the main farm it's 1 duck pond, maxed out gate and fence and a level 7 dog house. This strategy still exists. People will still blow away the competition without gold, without preparing but with farms that are just running on whatever the highest running costs are. And they are winning missions too. I think I might of gone off point. I hope I didn't. I guess I am just making a new point that it's not cheating, it's the way people play. And it is blowing the competition away to the point that being in a mission isn't fun. Placing 4th, 5th or 6th all the time isn't all that exciting. But in a way you get to play for free by choosing not to spend gold, and the people that win 1st, 2nd or 3rd will keep funding the game. I buy gold, I use it occasionally for missions but more for expansions and decorations and an unfortunate gold mine upgrade
Unfortunately people who choose to run mass-production farms or spend gold on missions will just make getting 1st place a rare occurrence for non-gold users, but that is how it seems to be structured. But when you do come first in a mission, and not spend a cent, it will be an awesome feeling, no? It can happen if you prepare for missions.
I get it they click fast Wildcard...
I think wildcard was near the answer. There can be some inconherence between the server clock and local clock, so 5 seconds was probably not 5 seconds but a little bit more than that. That is what came up mine mind first
Nevertheless, it was good that Jim posted the question. He actually never acused anyone of cheating. He just said that it was the first idea that crossed his mind. And he got some good advice how to finish mission sucessfully. And by sucessfully I mean to get as much certificates out of it as possible, because that is acctually the only thing that counts
Yeah Imma go with this one.
But let me get this straight... in your opinion the discussion is going nowhere so you go and "resurrect" the very thread that your requesting be locked that was already migrating half way down the forum page...ahem!!
Love your posts and especially agree with this one, Wildcard!! THX for keeping things civil and positive! It amazes me over and over again how fast some people react negatively/aggressively to a simple question.
