Is TAX alone enough for YOU?

iBertiBert Posts: 70
Let us be realistic. There is no way any player is able to collect enough coins just by tax alone.

I posted in another thread.

An average level 60 (who has not demolished their townhouses) has 1k gold per 10 minutes. Let's assume he spends his time at work (8 hours) without missing a single second of tax.

1) This amounts to 48k gold. This is barely enough for one feast, without taking into consideration costs of troop transport, equipment, etc.

2) Besides, this isn't even realistic. Who has the time to collect tax all the time?

Understand that the majority of your customers are working professionals. To everyone who is reading this, let me ask you - do you have 8 hours that you are able to devote to collecting taxes? NO. We are busy with work, family, and in some cases school.

NOBODY has the time to set an alarm for 10 minutes, and be able to collect taxes, for hours running on end.

3) Also, this is for level 60s who have not demolished their dwellings/townhouses. What about the level 60s who already have demolished their dwellings/townhouses - to suit the game mechanics? What about the under level 60s who create about 300 gold/10 mins? That is 1.8k gold an hour. Which is the cost of 15 veteran troops.

Goodgame, we have given you much support over the years. Players have been spending thousands of dollars individually a month. You have the privilege of having a great customer base. Do not pay us back by treating us like fools, or dismissing the matter.

    At level 60, 10k gold is used up by producing 50 troops. Which is 0.05 times the amount needed to send a 1040 attack which is the standard for level 60 fights.

    This game is becoming more like farmer or something. Honestly who have time to get maximum profit and collect every 10 minutes for x amount of hours until you can recruit at least 1040 soldiers for a simple attack.

    If this is a war game, why reduce so much the gold we collect actually fighting? Keywords: Fighting, War game.
    And leave us with the coins we have to collect every x amount of time like playing farmer or something.

    Taxes is not enough to play this "War" game as we should. It's not a building game, the point is attacking and defending, not being on our polished, clean castles picking taxes every 10 minutes.

    Players that don't participate in big wars don't seem to understand the fact this is not a building game.

    I have enough gold, I get 114k per 24 hours and I am increasing it all the time. I only really need to attack a handful of towers in addition to this to get by, so yes, I make enough.

    I quit the game.

    It costs 24,500 coins to que 25 soldiers in each of my castle, and that is with the premium discount. I could blow through your 10k coins in less than a minute.

    I had an attack today where I lost 932 soldiers, the cost of to replace those soldiers is easily 70k coins.

    Then there are other coin costs like: loot sacks, banners, sending attacks and resources, upgrading villages, The Technicas.

    Bottom line is I am unable to produce enough coins to play the way that I was playing before the update, so I have to adjust my playstyle by being less active in attacking other castles

    Same here, incidentally vastly reducing all those attacks I would otherwise have been spending significant quantities of rubies on, too.

    Even if you get 1000 coins per 10 minutes and your recruiting time per soldier is 8 minutes
    40 minutes=5 soldiers
    7 castles =35 soldiers
    5 soldiers =800 coins
    800 coins*35 soldiers=5600 coins
    1000 coins*40 min=4000 coins not fair ;(

    They don't want you to be able to collect "enough" coins. They want you to collect some coins, and buy the rest. If you don't, they want you to be a mediocre player until you do. It's starting to make me sick actually how greedy and ignorant the makers and owners of this game are.

    Well, the only solution is to increase the default loot of coins we are getting currently. So if you get 7k coins from a barbarian towers, then increase it to 10 or 11k coins. Or just make everything cheaper!

    I collect around 250k a day in average and i dont even have houses in sand and fire. My ex-teammates were well over 5k coins for 10 minutes and they were a feared force on uk1, had all the biggest wars and never had coin problems also never got badly beaten. Yes you lose public order but u are still extremely competitive.

    This problem only affects high level players. That is why I voted no.

    let me put it this way. i'm level 17 with more than 700 honor, and i make enough gold to feel that i can comfortably defend that against any fair fight.

    with that said i do agree that this is a war game and that they are reducing the reward and that that is not right.

    honestly anyone who is smart would have kept a large number of dwellings anyway. the only people who would see me as foolish are the ones who see a different side of the truth and can't accept it.

    That's not true.

    Dwellings are a thing of the past in this game for any active player. They reduce PO and provide only a tiny amount of revenue compared to looting, even after the recent update.

    Clicking some buttons every 10 minutes is just not fun. Hitting a level 60 fire tower, recieveing thousands of coins, wood, stone and food all with minimal losses is fun. This is why the game has changed, because it's the smart thing to do.

    The idea that we'll all start building dwellings again is laughable. All we'll do is hit more towers.
    It's been a while.....

    then you meet someone who has done all this better than you. your army gets destroyed. where do you get the gold to rebuild it?

    let it be known i don't agree with the update, i find it quite upsetting and have spoken against it before and will again. i am simply pointing out the flaw in an economy with out taxes, and i am living proof that taxes (along with the odd attack against a RBC) can definitly be enough.
