Guys, we on the German Server have announced the pink flag (no rubies will be bought anymore). We already have a solid number of participants, but we also need the help of you guys from the other servers. So Please: Hoist the pink flag. Pls spread this msg. These Swedish owners have to earn a ribald and deserved lesson.

FLAG PINK

I belive I will follow suit. with a brown symbol in the middle. cause reasons.

Like the professional mode spins weren't already better in the first place. Greedy GGE.

Gabry is complaining about the 300 gators or 150 cast iron mantlets for 300 ticket each. I also agree that even though the tools may seem to be decent rewards from pro mode the price to get 300 tickets for them is crazy even with the level 9 power level equipment on pro mode. What is the point of saving tickets for pro mode when there seems to be very little difference in how the awards are arranged with hardly any improvement to the rewards besides the equipment especially on normal mode which I can imagine you would be lucky to get even just one piece of equipment for 30 tickets on normal mode without spending rubies on the spinning wheel and/or spending money for tickets on it? I used to use pro mode frequently, but the price of 300 tickets for pro mode unless if you really want the full set and willing to spend hundreds of dollars or more and lots of rubies as well to get level 9 and perhaps extra tickets on top of that or willing to spend 300 tickets for perhaps only one spin it seems like a rip off. Plus, there is very little difference between level 5 and 9 power equipment besides only an extra 5% boost for Samurai tokens and 5% extra boost for Nomad tablets from level 9 that are not even available from the equipment trader as another option to get besides level 5.

I, too, thought that 3 tickets was far too cheap for a 3% 2% ranged piece of green equip. Now I can rest in peace knowing that it costs 30 tickets to obtain such a powerful item, and the server won't be overrun with 20/20 commanders. Thanks for this WOF update, gge!

Im not spinning the wheel anymore. I used to spend a few rubies on it. Nope. You guys wont get that money anymore. Not worth it.

well this game is shit now :X non ruby players leave the game :P

 This is a game, and  games are supposed to be fun and challenging. Why GGS has taken that away from the game, I'll never understand. They are coming across as a cash strapped business, desperate for money, and are showing a very unorthodox way of going about getting it. Can"t fault them for trying to show a profit, but only the way they are going about it. Been at this for several years now, and all of a sudden 2018 brings a whole new game where competition is based on who spends the most and buying boosts daily is the only way to grow.  I'll give them a little more time to get their act together before I decide to leave the daily frustrations that they are throwing at us. 
 1.Wheel needs to go back to where it was.
2. When you get to page 7 of 8 on event rewards you should be well beyond the halfway point.
3.Bc's and fc's are a joke, and you telling me the target selections are randomly generated. That does not seem to be the case. Becoming the worst events now.
4. Tell me how many boosts I need to buy for an event to complete it now, and do you really think it makes sense to spend the kind of money you people are looking for to play this game? I'd rather put it on a Vegas wheel.(no lag there).
 Totally frustrated with now versus the way the game used to be. And enough with the pop ups!!

WOF update is terrible. Just looking at the wheel makes me cringe now. lolol

Okay GGE needs income we all know that, , but they need non ruby players more, to make this game effective.

Without out either the game will die , so give the littleguy chance to win the good stuff, it does not have any need to be about rubies, it means non ruby players have to work harder to get the good stuff, like i said before a token system would work , and once you acquire the right ammount you can exchange tokens for good stuff.
So they can stand up to ruby buyers , this is not rocket science , but a balance needs to be made.

There is nothing wrong in making money , but GGE you are pricing yourself out of the market, me for one is a loss contibutor to your excistence , and i cant be the only one

NoPainNoGainFTW (US1)

WoF change is unacceptable.
You made our saved tickets worth 10 times less!
That's a ripoff!

NoPainNoGainFTW (US1)

We need to do something about it if they wont

dandelion1958 (GB1)

I'm currently only doing the free spins and usually manage to gain the 30 tickets - so will be able to compete again on it in 7/8 yrs at this rate

PS i've been in top 10 twice in the past !

STEVIEBEANZ (GB1)

lol really?

literally the last reason i had to spend money on this game anymore was the last 2 pieces of elemental. If its full priced from now on, then forget it.

thanks for the headsup

 yup just checked and the highlander/elemental is no longer on sale in equipment trader with the rest of the equipment like FL hero. 

no way im buying another 250k rubies for the last few pieces for a set and theyve killed off most of the other reasons to buy rubies

-The Fls/BCs are rubbish targets with rubbish prizes, which means i dont do nomads for the banners and dont want/need to buy glory boosters. The comm is just for this event, so im not interested
-The decent beri prizes are do-able without buying gallantry booster. 
-nomad boosters - As mentioned above, I dont need to stockpile horsetails anymore. Ive got enough level 7 base food items so dont really need to buy a khan booster either. I also have enough lime bombs. The nomad comm is only good for nomads, so im not interested and the cast is only purchasable once.
-sam booster - same as nomads.
-equipment trader - all the equipment i want is overpriced even more now its always at 100%
-monthly event - who cares about another NPC comm thats actually worse than the ones we got last year?  


I cant see myself buying rubies just for tools or skips. The rewards/offers you get (tools/troops/skips) arent enough to entice me now I dont need any boosters.

Im sure im not saying anything new, just felt like venting. Theyve made the game more boring, more buggy and less fun as well as giving ruby buyers even less value. I just dont get it.

To add on top of that I have noticed the discounts for the equipment trader limited time sets that may not necessarily even be worth buying. Who even buys them? Ruby whales?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Most people who buy these limited time sets I am guessing are ruby whales instead of non ruby buyers and average ruby buyers. Even with discounts they seem like a rip off. Perhaps the best way to resolve this problem is by removing the limited time sets from the equipment trader entirely and return back discounts to permanent sets. Only problem is that I do not think that GGS even cares as long as their are people willing to buy temporary sets even if their are only a few people who will buy these temporary sets and a lot more who prefer the permanent sets from the equipment trader especially if GGS were to continue in giving them discounts. I would think at the very least that because of permanent sets being more valuable than temporary that their should still be discounts for them.

sir-haba (SKN1)

that wheel of fortune has really been ruined, but is there anywhere stats for those sets? there is 3 different sets now, actually I'm only interested about the level5 epic sets stats.

and there is also this mistake http://prntscr.com/k9b1bv

there is one equipment from the old wheel of fortune set.

STEVIEBEANZ (GB1)

good news, for the first time in a while the elemental, highlander and eagle demon are back on sale at 50% off
