This game has become all about the server greed. No wonder the sever can't keep active players. It's pathetic! Now, you even took the pennies out of most of the events, attack troops for alliance members in most events. Went from bad to worse. If this is all it's going to be it's not worth playing anymore. You have taking most of the fun out. The gifts come once in a blue moon, and the auto troop placement when your off-line, kills off all your troops for lack of food, placing the ruby troops in the hosp. looking for that next sale. It's all about sales. The Goodgame is becoming invalid.

2)Gifts come when mass compensation mass reward is earned so that is not that often lol
3)If you are unable to look at how many you will recruit over night and how much that will change your negative that is your god damn fault for not being able to manage that not theirs.

1) after removing pennies what is the use of wishing well?, do player need to send there troops to make suicide in offline when they get lack of food
2) gifts and compensation is good,but worse thing is they will only be dropped in MC and it takes damn time to shift them to far ops
3) i always 24/7 will keep mine castles in recruitment and most of the times i will have -8k per hour(minimum) and noticed when i had full storage of food, then if the free troops come not getting the food and when i had 70k-75k food then if troops comes means mine storage will be filled, so as GGE stats they should even add the free troops food to storage even the storage is full
2)Then your op's are pretty far away with my speed comm it only takes me 15:37 to shift mantlets (speed 15) to my furthest op from my main, that is your problem, not a general problem
3)That is why you look at event rewards when sorting food as well , I thought it was common knowledge to check that lol

1 pennie=only 10 horse tails really a big distgusting thing i.e., they selling 10 horsetails for 2k rubies in other hand it needed only 60 khan tablets to buy 10 horsetails, and i think players will use all there pennies if they get rubies back as compensation for upgrading wishing well
2) not only mine lot of players who located near to kingdom towers, metros and capitals also have lot of distance between there ops and mc, so it also needed to be taken as general problem and they need to ask where to deploy free troops like they asking for deco
3) i am not talking about troop loss, i am asking why they don't give/add extra food what they promised to give with free troops when players storage is full
The wishing well is being left to allow people who have lots of pennies to continue trading them in.

And am given disposable junk in trade . REALLY ???????
THe DECAY is the ppl building this game. They have a case of greed like I've never seen before. Why not trade them For the decaying Com's , Casts and eq that I'm sure will DECAY soon too.
But . . . now I think we know why certain events are no longer around and why some took forver to be re-released. They gave away lucky coins as prizes: green beri, the AT.
Someone somewhere up in the upper echelons of GGS thinks that they are giving away too many rubies and thats the reason people are not buying anymore. And that the giving away of rubies is causing the decay in the underlying value of rubies, ie the more they give away free the less the ruby is worth to people so the less they are prepared to pay for it.
There is some truth to that logic, however the impact that actually makes on the underlying value of the ruby is miniscule.
The reality is they got way way too greedy, and very very stupid.
1) they sell to different players at different prices, meaning that is the reason the underlying value of the ruby is going down, once you know there is a very real possibilty that the guy above you in the event you are playing is paying 5 times less than you for his booster, for his chests, for his casts / comms etc etc. For his troops for everything. Then it stands to reason that the amount you are prepared to pay for such items are going to decrease, its a natural reaction.
2) the way the loyalty bonus system works tries to incentivise players that have not bought for a while to buy, by heavily discounting rubies. Ie the less frequently you buy the cheaper you get the rubies for. This may work to incentivise the odd player who thinks nah i am not spending then all of a sudden gets a 200% offer flash up and they think, you know what thats not a bad offer I will buy that. The problem comes with your relativly frequent buyers the buyers who when they have some free time think right i will buy an offer and play hard for the next few hours. Yet they know full well that if they buy now they will not get a cheaper offer again for while, so they do not buy becasue of the loyalty system, as they know it will cost them more to buy now, even though they want to. Thats the insanity of the so called loyalty system, whoever heard of a loyalty system where you get rewarded for buying less frequently??? Yet GGS believes its some stroke of genius.
3) GGS has systematically decreased the incentives you get to buy rubies, ie I am sure you have all noticed the offers you get now are totally crap compared to the offers you used to get a year or so ago. So very very rarely am i sat in from of my screen when an offer flashes up that i think you know what thats decent value for money I will chuck £50 or £100 etc at that. And if i do i will probably think to myself you know what I dont have a personal offer I will wait another couple of weeks till i get one. So the opportunity for GGS to make money is gone again.
4) GGS has recently had a habit of making stuff useless that players paid for in rubies, be it Gems, be it the penny fountain. and its answer is tough, its our game u dont like it dont play we will change what we want when we want to. The reality is when this happens players lose confidence in GGS, they might think ooh thats a decent offer ooh and I have a decent loyalty bonus, and I just got a £500 bonus from work. Should i buy some rubies so i can get that new cast i had my eye on for a bit? Then they think, Nah if i do GGE might make that cast reducndant next week, making my purchase pointless and I will have wasted £500. So even if they get the pricing right, the offer right, the bonus level right, the hit the players perfectly just as he has excess cash to burn, even if there is something shiny in game the player really wants, if he doesnt trust the comapny selling it to sell him. If he doesnt trust they wont sell him down the river next week leaving him with something worthless, then he is gonna keep his money is his pocket.
The reason why people are not buying rubies as much any more. Is self inflicted. And pretty easy to fix. But Greed and arrogance is preventing them from seeing whats right in front of their face.
1) Stop shafting your players and if you do make sure you properly refund their loss, to regain trust and confidence, so players are not worried if they spend now will it be worthless tomorrow, becasue as long as they are worried it will stop them from spending.
2) Stop selling at different prices to diff players on a single server. all it will do is push the price they willing to pay to the lowest price available and this is what is devaluing the ruby, not the odd penny!!!
3) Rethink your stratergy on Personal offers, I am not saying get rid of them, what i am saying is offer them much much more frequently, Allow players to "collect" bonus's so they can use them when they want like the ruby doubler. Trust me the criteria for buying right now is i need a decent personal AND I need a decent chest offer. If thats what people want before they buy then ensure they have that on offer much more frequently and they might just buy much more frequently.
4) Offer decent chests again, I know you offered a decent one the other day, and i bet a few people bought it, but 90% of the offers are horrible and are no incentive to buy any more. Offer people what they want and you might find they start to buy again.
But, the problem is, GGS knows that P.T. Barnum was correct:
"There is a sucker born every minute."
Oh, and BTW, Barnum Never Did Say "There's a Sucker Born Every Minute" R. J. Brown asserts that it actually originated with a banker named David Hannum talking ABOUT one of Barnum's hoaxes..... (Or did he and only a sucker would believe THIS????)
