GGS.... why bother having a competition if you can just BUY the dumb win? There's literally no point to this other than YOUR GREED to what is going on right now. 24 hour hot deal and you get 250,000 exp for buying `15k gold? Are you serious with this?

You've just taken ALL the competition out of a competition. It's pathetic.

    realy now??
    a box for reputation points?
    this is not 1 bridge to far but many more bridges

    just buying your ranking

    does this count also for the coop championship?
    then why bother playing if a miljonar can buy the ranking


    of this is the cause you will loose lots of players i am sure

    I think a lot of co-ops will just stop doing the challenges if someone else can just buy their RPs instead of participating. I mean, why bother? GGS, this "Hot Deal" of yours has just taken the fun out of the co-op challenges. Please don't offer this deal again.

    Exactly! This is so blatant, you don't even need to play missions, just bust out your credit card.

    This just devalues EVERYBODY who stayed up late, prepped, used strategy, supported teamwork and played this event. I don't care what co-op you are in or if you hate me/mine. We ALL played using the tools we had to our best advantage.

    This? THIS???? It's a slap in the face to EVERY single person who partook in the event. Why don't you just take the top ranked positions on each server and sell them off at this point. That's what it amounts to, black & white.

    well, we played our butts off and just won the trophy..... and then this pops up and makes it pretty much meaningless..... thanks GGs.... hope the trophy can be demolished for some serious cash cuz it sure doesn't matter much now if you've got it : (
    I'm guessing we won't put much effort into future challenges... but they were fun til they were for sale

    As far as I am concerned, until things change, doing any type of challenges (although i do missions, chaallenges are not even close to what i want to do them for), events, horse coral, and anything special ggs does is No More. I refuse to participate in those events that let you win because you have the money

    I was all up for buying gold when this Hot Deal came along. It cheapens the playing and makes me feel like all I'm doing while playing is filling GGS's coffers. I am boycotting gold buying until that excrescence of a Deal is gone. Shame!

    Brat Pack runs as a team and to come online and see this prime to BUY your rep points.. come on how is that fair to anyone? I've only been online a few minutes and have watched several co ops scream up in the ranks because they have purchased the prime and the rep points. Shame on you GGS for treating your customers like this.

    Thanks GGS. You succeeded in rendering useless and futile the efforts of so many people who worked together as teams towards a common goal and took all the fun away from it.

    We were working hard to get that trophy and were getting up there before this pop-up. When we get it, I will personally not display it; you took all its meaning away. I will not play in a coop challenge again as long as you can buy your result.

    You could have made your life simpler and mine by the same token, by just putting the rankings, the rewards and the trophy for sale before the event started?

    playing the game is working hard and believing in your team and the ability to do best in your game buying is the same thing as cheating no longer an honest game to play as a competition.

    I agree with so many here! All the hours and energy spent upgrading my farm to be better for missions, better for the Challenge, and better for my co-op. Not to mention loss of sleep and time for real-life stuff, just to think it could all be for naught as others strip us of the hard work and real solidarity of my co-op.

    After the initial anger, I bought the stupid deal, just to defend our place, not to climb higher. I was already climbing high and having fun doing it. And I wasn't using gold to climb. Now, the fun is all gone. I still love my co-op, but no more challenges for me. Still can't make up my mind whether this game will ever be worth my time again. My co-op people are great, but GGS you really should change the donkey stables to a big GGS sign, because it's obvious there are a lot of "donkeys" (keeping this clean) with stupid money loving ideas at GGS.

    This just smacks of a company ready to sell out or abandon this game and just want to dupe players out of as much money as possible before the end.

    I have bought gold several times in this game. This latest offer of yours is very disappointing. For any co-op to be able to buy reputation points to win an event makes this game very difficult to play now. If not for the friends that I have made in the co-op that I am in, I would not continue to play this game. I think this latest stunt may make you lose more members than you thought you would.

    When you said co op challenge, I didn't realize is was a challenge to see who has the wealthiest co op.

    Our co op had been as high as 7th and went down to 9th when a couple of the other co op's went on a spending spree doing mission last night. Now, after just 90 minutes of the Hot Deal we have gone from 9th to 13th. Why do missions when you can just buy 1,7500,000 rep points.

    Before the hot deal, I had been thinking you need to limit the amount that people spend on the game as it just favours the players that can afford it and the "problem players" who maybe shouldn't be spending at all.

    I understand there is a real cost involved in producing the game and deals are a way of attracting the dollars, but this hot deal where you can just buy rep points is a shocker.

    Please re think your deals for the future and consider putting on a daily or weekly spending limit as a sign of good faith that the players are at least as important to you as the dollars are

    Regards Mark

    You had the island fiaso, then evilweed which is just like not playing, and now this....it's the dumbest thing I've seen in the 10 months I've been playing this game. When will you get it that people actually LIKE playing a game using stratagy, not just buying their way through it. You created the Co-op challenge which we were all looking forward to, and now you've made it worthless to participate. Hope you get a lot of money from the gold sale.

    Greetings,

    I am very disappointed in GGS for having so little forethought and no risk management planning making a decision to launch this day three of a challenge.

    This forced a decision on my part to by the points, helping to support my team members and all the hours spent in missions trying to advance our coop during this time.

    The deliterious effect this has had on all players in game deserves an immediate apology and clear statement that this inept practice will not be repeated in future challenges again.

    Best Regards, Ratchet

    I am new to this game and was lucky to find a really great co-op that I fit in well with. We have been having a blast with the missions during this event. Having to be faced with people saying they are now planning on quitting because the lack of foresight by having a hot deal to BUY the very thing this Event was for, is ridiculous. We have been having fun and I am very proud of the RP i have gained by actually doing the missions, that I, no matter how much I needed the gold, OR wanted to get the gold when right after a 100% Co-Op deal came up to get gold for my Co-op.. I just couldn't do it.

    This deal created is in bad taste. I think, you might need to reconsider your hot deals and ask yourself.. Could we do a different hot deal that DOES NOT TAKE AWAY from the hard work of our players?

    Thanks

    Well, I know for sure I'm not buying any gold anymore. Not participating in any events, competitions etc. What's the point? Those with money can just buy their way up. We where #2 and now we are not. I bet it's because our hard earned spot was bought. Why compete if a spot can be bought?

    I'm wondering, GGS, how it would go over if , on day 3 of the Olympics the IOC decided that points could be bought? Are we olympians? Nope. But, I don't see much difference between that and what you all did. I truly hope that the true integrity of ALL the players in the coops comes shining through (the integrity MY coop plays with) and makes this little shenanigan blow up in your faces. We all know that the bottom line is really important. So is making the bottom line SEEM a little LESS important. You threw it right in our faces that this game is all about your paychecks. I think that is what is SO offensive about what you did. I will NEVER spend one cent on this game. But i will play my behind off just so you can work hard and earn your keep. German engineering, INDEED! :thumbdown::thumbdown:
