Bytro doesn't fund players period.
I've been playing 5 years and have only once encountered a player who just threw money/gold at the battlefield until he won. In some cases players may have a war-chest of saved gold but not enough to fund winning the game and most players in my experience - even those with deep pockets - want to play and win on an even playing field. otherwise what's the point.
The intro of war bonds has helped level things out.
