It's even more unfair to those of us who do buy rubies. We may well have wasted hundreds if not thousands of pounds/dollars/euros on a game that just takes more and more.

can't agreed more on this one. But i do see players leaving too... pitty before the update many people where happy. But after ... i can't hold my glory titels anymore... and it will be extrem difficult to get them back to where they use to be.

This is common as games begin to fail. Developer put in drastic changes in the game thinking they will make more money. However, this causes unrest and people end up leaving the game. Now that people are leaving the developers panic and make even more changes to try to increase profits and its nothing but a downward spiral into a dead game that would have been fine if they just would have left it alone.

Greed is the contributing factor to this game crumbling to pieces. Instead of being clever and thinking of ways to get more of the smaller players investing in the game with real money, they instead try to milk the cash cows they already have. It pisses the high level ruby players off to the point of quitting the game. And it makes the lower players who can't pay as much lose hope to ever achieve greatness because of the gap between them and the big wallets. Eventually, they are going to run out of players to milk and they will no longer be able to fund this game. They are too proud to admit it, and too dumb to fix it. I imagine I'll be gone soon as well.

So you blame the game for offering people advantages, that GREEDY players buy in order to make them stronger than others and then these people start to complain that their GREEDINESS is getting bigger than their wallets and they can't keep buying every single advantage the game offers. Be less GREEDY, have a BUDGET and you will be fine.

You are saying that people with lower budget don't invest as big wallets simply crush them anyway.
Then saying that these big wallets are leaving the game now.

Conclusion, if big wallets leave, smaller wallets will start investing into the game according to your statement, so the game won't go bankrupt, but it will be a more balanced environment.

Gaz, your posts are getting old. You have a big imagination, but you are pretty clueless. If you are a fan of mine, I understand. But please stop following me around with your invalid arguments and endless babbling lol.

I'm saying everyone is leaving the game, not just big ruby players. There's an entire forum full of angry people right now that are quitting and boycotting and you are one of maybe two people on here that actually thinks their update is helping anyone lol.. See the problem with your argument? 99% of people disagree with you, and most of these people are very intelligent. No matter how many valid points are thrown your way, you just BS your way straight through them and keep talking.

Please go away.

Gaz The Boss

Obviously 99% players are here to argue with me, as players who were not affected by the update didn't even come here.
If Ggs would come up with an update that everyone gets 5 million coins as a daily reward there will be 100% cheer from every single player, but it doesnt mean its good for the game

How can something that sees a large number of paying customers leave a game be good for a game that is based on customers paying to play Gaz?

Whether or not these updates are good for the game balance is irrelevant now, this is about a company alienating huge amounts of customers and making them leave. There is no way on earth you can say that is positive, it simply isn't.

Here's an idea to fix the problem:

A new hero, called the coin king. You get a 50% increase on all coins collected/looted for 5,000 rubies per week. That would solve most of the problems for GGS and give the cash cows who have been screwed over a chance to get back tom where they were. GGS would be perfectly happy with that imbalance as it would A) Increase their income and Keep the cash cows in the game.

Eventually, you made 0 valid points why the update should be recalled, all you done is saying you can't afford to do everything at the same time now, just one after another. That's not really a valid reason as I pointed out the game was meant to be slow progressing and set players challanges and long time goals to achieve. Fast progressing make u burn out quick if no challanges remain

Fast progressing is fine if you use rubies, no? You can still buy 100 million coins if you want to spend the cash and get all the best equipment and upgrade the lot to max level. That kind of invalidates your arguments Gaz, does it not?

Gaz The Boss

Like I said, if excessive coins can't ruin the game, give everybody 5 mil daily. Everybody happy. Spending too much on the game will also make u burn out quick, that's why people are leaving, they want all the ad advantage that can be bought with real cash, so basically their GREEDINESS is their own coffin. Budget yourself and spend your quids wisely.

People are NOT leaving because they burnt out Gaz, that is nonsense. People were perfectly happy before the update. People are leaving because the developers are forcing us out. The imbalance will now be between the average ruby spender and the top ruby spenders. The average guys are far more in number so this can only reduce their income. That is plain to see by anyone who isn't as stubborn as you are. Just admit that GGS are making a huge mistake here, whether they are balancing the game is irrelevant, they're losing paying customers.

Gaz The Boss

Games offer advantages for real cash, as the developers can't live on empty air, can they. People can buy advantages just like in real life, othing wrong with that, but everybody should budget their expenses, that's all I say, pay for what u think it worth it

Gaz The Boss

Also top ruby spenders are threatening to quit, budget players will be able to manage their expenses just as they always did

I wish you luck of it. As your level increases and you find yourself struggling to maintain your position, you'll see exactly why it was that the previous owner said 'enough is enough'.

HaHaHa. I am a level 60 player. I have been playing for 14 months I am a member of a respected, large alliance, and this alliance is in huge coalition. I doubt that it will be hard for me, and I definatly wont 'struggle'. Come to Inter 1 if you would like to see how I roll! :-)

Are you a robot Gaz?

Can't you understand human feelings and emotions? That's why players are leaving. It has sod all to do with budgets.

If you're such a genius with games and forums why can't you seem to find the edit post function? Want me to show you how the forum mechanics work?

Gaz The Boss

I understand how people feel but rebalancing is neccesary time after time.

Just to point out something to a previous post, people buying everything with rubies were never been interested the strategic part of the game, so they will simply leave the game after a short period as they never wanted challenges so they just leave without feelings later.

People on a BUDGET is the heart of the game as they buy the most neccesary things but keep themselves challenged. They can feel they were badly affected, by this update but it was the same effect for others so the game is still on. Obviously people have no passion in the strategy itself may buy more coins with rubies, but at an 1000 soldier/20000 rubies will make them think twice and after a few weeks they will simply give up or budget themselves. Not to me tion transfer pri es which is over 10000rubies worth of coins for every 1000 soldiers. Even the most blindfolded ruby players can't keep up with those costs. The update effects many players negatively but it will eventually keep people on a better budget, just like when they increased the prices for multiplying the troops from 15 to 60 rubies each, everybody started to think twice before clicking on the multiplier, everybody cried that this is unfair and ripoff(including me, who used it occasionally) and will only help top spenders to crush others, but players simply started to be more rational and 95% never even touched the button ever since, and the rest might still use it occasionally but never at the rate they used it earlier. And that update was a massive balancer for the future of the game yet Ggs losing revenue from it ever since

Ps. I use the edit function plenty of time if u read back my posts, I simply answer for another comment without quoting for it when I don't, but will do next time

famous nadin

listen GGE listened to us they sent the barterer!!!

Gordon Penny

I'm heartbroken when good vital players leave the game. whether it's my alliance or someone in a neighboring one. It looks like GGE is going the way walmart did - sure, you'll lose customers, but they'll be replaced by others who don't know any different.
what an unneccesary loss.
