Best Of

Thank you @BM_Granuaile @BM_Granuaile @BM_Red Phoenix and @BM_Quaffel_EN

You have just provided more feedback and reassurance than we have received in months. It's good to feel that we have mods again.

I have no doubt you work hard. I'm especially pleased to hear that there is at least some intention to keep ftp in game and make it fun for them again too. They have been sorely neglected and the gap between pay to win and ftp has become enormous.

I appreciate that the forum reaches a limited audience these days. But the blame for that rests squarely on GG shoulders. When it takes weeks for mods to respond people give up.

The fact that a huge number of players are locked out of forums and cannot log in (due to technical issues GG can't seem to resolve) isn't helpful either

People have been driven away. Plain and simple.

Hopefully with new mods being active some will come back.

Thank you for acknowledging that there is a problem with the alliance tournament. I am very interested to see what fair compensation means. My interpretation of compensation is not just crediting what's owed but a little extra to acknowledge the inconvenience caused.

So far GG policy has been to only compensate those players who complain and submit tickets and persevere with their complaint after the first few form letters. I'm still horrified that a major bug affecting basic game mechanics that took almost a year to fix triggered zero general compensation.

GG might have 50 million downloads but that's very misleading. Only a fraction of those actually play. Personally I have downloaded the game about 10 times in the last two weeks. I do that every time we have major bugs and issues as occasionally reinstalling the game resolves them. I would hate to hazard a guess as to how many times I have downloaded the game over the past 8 years.

The CAP tool has potential to share meaningful information in game again. Announcements seem to focus on telling us what events are currently on rather than upcoming ones. The announcements for upcoming bonuses are useful.

I sincerely hope that GG returns to being a game that is not pure pay to win. I look forward to ftp players having fun again and being able to compete. I would be very interested to see how events like BtH (and the rewards) are made more accessible to ftp players. The recent removal of start up rubies from BtH and outers has certainly made it harder than ever for ftp to do anything in these events, achieving the exact opposite effect.

The return of strategy being a meaningful aspect of the game would be most welcome.

Again, thank you for the time and effort you put in to make this game more fun for all of us.

I've played this game for four years and on 2 different servers, but i can't take it anymore. I'm done

Every update released these past few years have just increased the pay to win gap, and have made the game overall more of a grind, sucking out the the last few drops of fun and strategy left.

I don't know if this is just with me, but the game is very slow and laggy. The world map loads slowly, and several tabs and tents never responded when i tap them, forcing me to restart the app. Add in all the bugs that developers spend months to fix, and it becomes almost unplayable.

Looking back at all the times i played this game, I'm glad i didn't spend any money as there's no incentive to play past legendary level 10. Once you reach that level, you don't unlock anything new until legendary level 600. Even if you do reach that level, what's next? It takes about 8 million xp to reach lvl800. That means you have to finish the "no time for weaklings" quest 1,600 times, and with blood crow castles only having 500 troops, it seems almost impossible.

I'll admit though, I've had lots of fun with the game, especially during my first years because everything was new for me. I've played with loads of wonderful people, and enjoyed participating in pvp and events. But for the past year, the only reason I've played was because of my alliance mates. I'm confident that's why most people play now to, but for me, it's not enough anymore.

If you've gotten this far into my rant, then you probably know about all the issues this game has. But one i think isn't discussed enough is the new Master Blacksmith. At first, it seems like good idea, choosing your own rewards is better, but unlimited event tools is where the system fails. Though every can get large amounts of points in events, pay to win players have access to a premium shop where they can buy the best event tools for a handful of rubies. This just inflates the events, and makes them more of a grind.

Though there are hundreds of other topics i could complain about, equipment is the biggest one. Players have to spend hours selling equipment individually because the developers put auto selling equipment behind a pay wall. And with the introduction of relic equipment, every other tier of equipment has become useless, which might i add is a reward most events give out.

I could go on and on, but i don't think every issue needs an explanation, so here are some honorable mentions:

- Outdated event rewards

- No new events, same ones cycled every week

- pvp has died, and is only for ptw players

- ruby purchases are expensive, yet rubies are earned in small amounts

- customer service takes months to reply to issues

- construction tokens have become harder to get

- food production has inflated, especially for ptw players

- 90% of rewards in master blacksmith are useless, yet are all at the top

- the HOL needs to be upgraded 550 times

- berimond unit pictures don't show up

- hundreds of different tools and troops that are useless, and just take up space

- taxes are useless

- GGE doesn't communicate with players

There is no reason for me to play anymore, so I'm done. I would say i hope things get better, but my optimism has run out
