How to BURN through 1,400,000 gold in 1 hour

Grand Empire really ruined it for you. I’m sorry.

If you join a friendly game with forum users and moderators then it's self explanatory that players are not expected to use gold. Why else would you join a friendly match in the first place. The excuse: "nobody told me" is as old as the human race. Still you are an independent human being with a moral compas that makes free choices. In the back of your mind you know that spending 1,4 million gold in a friendly game wasn't maybe not that friendly after all. I could you only give one advice: "Think first before clicking on a button, that doesn't just count for COW but anywhere on the internet for that matter."

Right, like BMfox said, making a $200 decision should probably have some consideration beforehand such as making sure it gets the effect you want.

Also, though friendly games do have a sort of no gold implication, I only heard Grand complaining and crying about it, and he went inactive on day 3.

I don't recall anyone else asking you to quit the game. Also not too sure they can get you back your 1,400,000 gold, considering your buildings are technically still being used.. albeit not by you.

You shouldn't ask for your gold back. Period.

Also here are some tips for you:

• No need to spam level 5 buildings on day 1...you won't be able to research that high anyways
• If you are going to spam gold, don't share map cause that makes you unpopular...idk what you were thinking
• If you're going to join a forum/friendly game, unless otherwise specified, you don't use gold

I was Libya in the game, I saw Italy shouting at you for using gold, no need to tell anyone that you used gold, I used tons of gold in that same game, no one uttered a word on me

I'm sorry but spending 1.4mill in Gold in one game - and then asking for it back.

Wow. That should be a world record.

What the hell. When you spend more than 50k gold, i advise you take a break from the game and just... rethink your life decisions, please..

1.4 M gold in an hour? Don't you think you're stepping a little over the line? I assume you just bought a bunch of gold, but really, I suggest you save it for later in the game. Wait until you can get rockets, heavy tanks, etc., I think 14 hundred thousand is enough to get you the win in the game easy, as long as you use your brain. Produce light tanks, heavy, paratroopers, and don't waste it building factories and burning them up without any purpose. And if you really do have that much, join a lot of games at once, you don't really need to plan, spamming 800 light tanks on day 1 ought to let you beat the entirety of Europe, Asia, America, and if Historic, well... wait a few more days for better units, do the same thing, and you win! I'll make sure not to join any games in the next three weeks, I don't want to get steamrolled And yes IronKnight, I think spending $100 a day ought to be more than enough for anyone. Exactly why you are burning money on games, I don't understand, but I guess you have your reasons.

I thought I could reply, but I can't.

I respect if you admit using THIS much gold. So many players would just keep saying they won because of their skill.

Also hope such incidents don't happen in the future. I play the games just to be proud of myself whenever my strategy wins battles, etc. I don't spend $200 to win a game when all I get is a win on my game profile that will never affect my real life in any way. Though I appreciate it as a donation, I'd personally just spend all of it on blueprints lol...

I actually like that you spent this much gold in a game where devs were also present. You should have gone ahead and smashed them up so they understand for real why it is a problem for the game that there is NO limit to the gold usage.

I would recommend spending gold that could help us in the long term such as blueprints and know what round to use it. Preferably, you could use gold on speed events, where the payout is huge. Though high risk high reward, at least it's not high risk low reward on your situation. That's my 2 cents at least...

No offence, but i think i was completely right.

1. This was a FREINDLY game you would be just ruining it by running over everyone, and thats just pay to win

2. If this WAS normal game with strangers it would be fine until you started saying "im a pro player, im so good". Gold doesnt make a player good.

And BMFox just for agreeing with me and having my back, i accept a peace treaty. We are now in the BMFox-GrandEmpire Alliance

i am neutral to this, i wouldnt mind getting steamrolled, to be honest i am in no power to judge anyone..

It's an artificial definition that a game is 'friendly'. When is it ever 'hostile'? I mean, this is a GAME, so it's for fun.

And I don't see any difference in ruining a game between forum wellknowns and a random game that I also join for a good sport.

Excessive gold usage ruins the sports part - no matter if the game is friendly or not. It eradicates skill and replaces it with players random purchase power.

I remain convinced that Bytro could still make lots of money from gold if there was some upper limit per hour/day etc.

You have COW gaming addiction and need CBT based therapy before it takes over your life.

Gold helps pay for the game and make it free for those of us who can't afford to buy gold.

Games can become pissing contests and you can be triggered into spending a lot of gold.

Good game play, skill, teamwork and mutual RESPECT can win games without the need for gold.

I use gold but from my winnings and not regularly, but as a last resort.

If you think you have a gaming addiction, you need medical help, please message me and I can sign post you.

Best
