This latest hot deal (buy gold and receive reputation points) which is active since a couple of hours mutates the cooperative competition into a complete farce
By far the most shameful bit you have come up with so far in this game.
Please do not make a competition at all if it's going to be impossible to even have a chance at all, that just borders on cruelty. We all had fun for a day or two but today it just feels like our co-op has started the race with all of our legs cut off while the superrich players have been equipped with a car so they don't even need to run the race with their legs... get the idea?
I am the type that goes with the flow, but I definitely agree with everyone on this. It really leaves a sour taste in everyone's mouth.
PS. The ability to buy your way to the top of the league is now causing conflict within co ops. Players who have been working hard to get the the top of the co op league tables are now opting out of the challenge altogether because other players (who have hardly contributed to the challenge at all) have paid cash to take the top slot. So much for the Big Farm 'community'.

We unfortunately currently have no tracking of the new reputation boosters, apart from the timer you will find below your happiness bar.
The mission results page can only display the amount of additional reputation points gained through farm machines, everything else shows up as already boosted value.
We've forwarded your wishes in regards to more information on these boosters in the user interface already.
As for the Prime Day: Reputation points, we have also gathered and forwarded your feedback already and will continue to do so throughout the day for additional evaluation of this new feature.
Regards,
Steffi
For the love of what little remains fair in this game; please remove this offer, rollback to before you implemented it, and never, ever, repeat it.
False !!
First of all we are not "working hard", we are playing a game. Yes, we have been doing lots of missions and enjoying the chatting and playing together so far during the coop challenge. Chatting and enjoying the company of our fellow farmers is what we always do. Our coop has been ranking 3rd-4th in this competition all along
As for lots of players in the coop going to buy their reps, not true !!
Up to this moment in the UK server 5 players bought gold gaining 1.500.000 reps, and 4 more gaining 1.000.000 reps, none of them in my cooperative
73 people in total have bought (to the moment I write) gold in much lower amounts, including yourself. Among these 73 players only 4 from our cooperative bought small amount of gold, and our cooperative has 51 members.
I have bought no gold to take advantage of this opportunity, my 1.2 plus million reps gained since the beginning of the challenge are real reps earned playing missions
Last night at the change of the week let's say, which is the time XPs and reps are reset to zero, I was still online playing missions
As you know when clicking to start a new mission you are prompted with a new pop up window showing the weekly reputation ranking. This is how I saw that quite a few people had multiple of 250.000 reps already after only a few minutes the rankings were reset
Still now the distinction between who bought reps and who didn't is quite obvious and it's something you can go and check by yourself quite easily.
Not at all obvious however, and impossible to ascertain, is who bought because in need of more gold and who bought to get free reputation points
Absolutely 100% obvious in all this situation is that GGS has had a horrible idea trying to sell gold with attached fat reputation bonuses during a challenge that seemed to have got the attention of so many players. Worse move ever !!
Sorry, still not obvious to me. How can you check for a WHOLE server who bought gold and who did not. Unless the english server is a very small one with no more than a 100 people on it, I do not have a slightest idea how did you menaged to check RP for a whole server. You need to write down a rep. p. for everybody before the offer then at every half hour (or you can not distingish it from earning a reputation points). Checking it for your coop, that I do understand, but for the whole server? Or did you just check it for the people in the same mission than you?
Sorry for my curiosity, but I would realy like if you can explain it it details for not so smart ones (me).

I wouldn't get upset about it, Fawners, if I were you... the chances of GGS taking notice of any of our feelings are probably remote, to say the least; and, as it stands, there is no indication of any sort of reset.
I agree with you that, for those of us who've played for our points, it would be awful to have our "earned" reputation points removed by such an action, but I do think that those who "bought" reputation points could have them reset (and their money refunded for their purchase, of course) to return the challenge to its former state of play.
Pingo / aaabbb,
the weekly rankings have been reset to zero yesterday night at 11:00 pm UK time.
People who only minutes after the reset time instead of zero rep points showed 250.000 or 500.000 or even over 1 and half million (in the weekly reputation ranking) have bought gold. Of course under different circumstances no one would be able to see which players are buying gold, nor should we care
And today, the weekly rankings on the UK server show quite a few people who after only 1 night missions have more than a million reputation points. And even tho not exactly a multiple of 250.000, it's obvious that no one can make those many points in one night.
As I already mentioned in my previous message, we cannot really tell who has bought gold to have more reputation and who instead just needed or wanted to buy some. But GGS sure had a very bad idea and better never again use this hot deal
But this latest and most admirable in scope, gold-grab is hardly a surprise, the farm has been pay to win for over a year now.
So, you look at the weekly rankings and those who have more than 1. mil reputation points either bought gold a few times or
are consuming insane amounts of it
Thanks for explaining it, PCA.
No we would not!! I agree, not fair play for the rep points purchase...but not grounds for a reset! All the time my co-op has put into the missions would be gone! We don't stand a chance of hitting the big levels of the challenge, but are proud of the work we do together, and the prize levels we have reached so far! Honestly, most small co-ops aren't affected by this since they wouldn't be up at that prize level anyway.
I admit, hard for those who did the work and got up there. I don't think it is remotely right for them to have a rep points offer during the challenge!! Shouldn't be one at all, ever.
No reset though! Boycott it, don't buy gold, whatever your pleasure on that. But no way should the game be reset over this...!!8| I've done too much in my game these last few days to have that happen.
What's next? Are people going to be able to buy a "win" when we have the horse competitions? Maybe we can purchase a gold pack to complete all our projects for us?
I agree, a rollback is not a solution, not even close, and it would upset even more people
A good and long lasting solution can be achieved when GGS changes its game design strategy and starts developing more competitive and fair products, the sooner the better.
A well planned and fair game will result in higher profits for the company and a much higher user retention rate
Little tricks like here is your new competition and oh... wait... here you can buy your result..... are going to deter good users instead
