FREE FOR ALL mode, Bad ideas and implementation!!

Although, it is nice to win a few of these rounds (almost $20 in free gold= 61,000+), this new game mode is ruining the game for 2 main reasons. First = the no coalition feature makes sense but making everybody anonymous is unnecessary and ruins the teamwork that most players still use to be successful. It also significantly increases backstabbing because you are not accountable for your actions until the end of game when your name is revealed. By then, most players have quit if not in the top 5-6. I would like to get to know my few allies, especially if/when I see them in other games. The one game that I attempted to be a solo stud ended with a 4vs1 war (2 ROW allies backstabbed me) because I was winning a 2v1 war. Please remove the anonymous feature, it has no positive/redeeming affect.

Second = The flood of free gold in these games now discourages its purchase with real cash and has severely impacted gold's perceived value. This new game mode (especially because of the timer), along with the achievements (which were a nice idea), have made Call of War a gold spamming mess with limited strategic thought. If you are fighting an unrestricted gold spammer (units, buildings, bunkers, healing, intel, resources), it will take skill, immense patience and possibly allies to succeed. I sometimes learn a new strategy in a big war with a quality opponent but not in these cases...it just becomes an attrition war about quantity vs ranged/rockets. A gold cap feature would actually add a strategic layer...do i spend gold now or save it for later? Your #1 decision in these games has become to either Ally/Partner with an obvious gold spammer or waste days/weeks fighting them.

Please don't respond with "players that buy gold keep the game running" (re-read the second point). I will thank High Command customers, they get benefits that don't "break" the game. If Bytro can ever fix the gold spamming, I would buy High Command because I enjoy the game...when there is some semblance of balance.

That's a good point.

Playing against gold spammers is almost impossible and takes forever.
