me:
i hate the game, but im in too far and feel it would be a waste of time if I did not continue. (This is all for now but may write a longer response when I get some spare time)

but like you i invested a lot of time and money just to watch it go to ruins.
But GGE have abuse there trust in the game. and have change it big time from a pvp to an event game. also it is very expencive to fight a war . you can hit there dummy castle or non ruby players , but that is not what the game was all about.
So the best part of a war is just to burn there expencive armies set hall to defence and make a butt load of defence, and if you cant get help set fire cast and just burn tools.
When the game first started we were all pretty even , then they brought in God commanders the game changed over night.
I want more PvP without 50 people supporting each side....
would be cool to see a mode where there is alliances of 5 no pacts or subs lol

That's the only reason why i keep playing.. for my alliance, and people that respect me, play in the same alliance with me.
And in the end, to give a honest reason, i like more events than PvP, i've never been a PvP player... 70% of the time anyway. Since the game changed so much, so much to events... there's nothing to blame... other than GGE.
But if i really need to attack a player, or help in a war, i'll do my best to make sure my presence is there
So yeah... that's why i keep playing this game
Then as my ID grew in strength, I got embroiled in full time server politics and that carried me through the game for a couple of years.
When the power Trip of leading people faded, it came down to friends.
And off late, game time has come down, and one plays in the hope that some time in the future, it will get better.
I never liked the gameplay. GGE is boring, tedious, has miserable graphics, is a p2w monstrosity, but I do enjoy the crymail, crazy drama and politics. And chasing food production.
In fairness, the balance did break rather with all the legendary power creep issues as mentioned above. I think it'll eventually settle down somewhat as more people end up with maxed halls and rebalancing becomes easier to do. In general it's mostly for the socials these days

so a game wich should be relaxing is just another job wich is become less interesting to play
Games like this are about building your account feeling an affinity for that account, knowing you have put the time and effort into that account to make it what it is today. And is about the people you meet and the times you share.
Unfortunatly GGE's greed has killed any premise of fair competition off. Its total refusal to ensure a level playing field for all players, means competition is impossible. What is annoying is that GGE knows this, it has some sensible rules in place that players need to play the game, unfortunatly it has shown zero interest in actually enforcing them.
On top of this and probably the most criminal of all is its willingness to sell identical things to different people at wildly different prices. That right there is a game killer. Would you buy a car for £40,000 if you knew there was a way to buy the identical car for £10,000.
Of course you wouldnt but thats exactly what GGE is expecting every player that plays its game to do. If thats not bad enough, its actually putting these players in direct competition with each other!!!! So imagine entering a race, when you know the guy you racing against, has paid half as much as you to enter but still has a car that is twice as fast as yours ? would you enter the race again ?
So what happens, is that players real accounts become impossible to compete with the new breed of account, so players either leave the game in disgust, that GGE are allowing this to happen, they start to play ruby free ,disgusted that GGE are allowng this to happen, or they do the same thing themselves and ditch the account they spent so much time and effort on, for a new super cheap account. Their old account become a shell and increases that problem.
The big downside to this is once you go down this route, any affinity for the account you are using goes out of the window, it becomes a tool, so your connection with the game has pretty much gone. And rather than having a car you love to drive every day, you have a selection of POOL cars to jump into that are functional and efficient, but you dont love it the way you loved your own car, its a means to an end nothing more nothing less, something to get you where you want to be.
So with that account affinity gone the only thing left is the friendships you made in the game, but as more and more people move on with their life, and people eventually grow tired of GGE's lies and false advertising, false promises, and unbelievable attitude to its customers. so the pool of friends grows smaller and smaller.
Most games if not all games have players that are always looking to break the rules, gain an advantage from this, but many of GGE's failings are of its own making, its driven purely by greed. Short term gain at the expense of long term playability and fair competition, and ultimatly that decision has massivly accelerated the demise of the the game and the mass exodus of players from the game. whats better £50 now or £25 for the next 5 years. GGE would take the £50 now option every time no matter what the cost to the game itself. Its a shame, it was a great game, and parts of it still are, but greed is slowly draining the life from the game. GGE is like the drug addict that is convinced that the drugs are not hurting them and they can handle it, yet those all around them can see that the drugs are acutally killing them and slowly but surely they are losing everything.
GGE are the drug addict that is totally convinced it knows best, ignoring everyone else whilst little by little, its blind to the damage its greed based decisions are causing.
I've been chasing food prod too, playing to loot rubies so I can get the sun flag. All so I can eventually...what? Flip HOL to all def and set up with great casts everywhere and then not give a damn for a few days? I guess?
To be able to quit without quitting. To allow me to do other things than play all the time, while not limiting my playing should I suddenly need to return, like in case of a war.
Also because that sun face is pretty smexy would be satisfying to have.
