I have a question for you guys, I know gauging a player for his/her skill in game is important for waging war with them can either turn to victory or defeat. In picking an enemy or prey, how do you gauge the ability of a player and know how much percentage of your success in defeating them?

no. I mean technically yes, there have been players so inept in this game they can't help but use gold, such may not affect good players, but bad playing and trying to mask with gold always affects oneself.
well, i have never lost a fair battle
so I guess the second most anooying thing after gold is Wr/map ... if its high wr (70-100%), he is more than likely to be a gold user
or just wins a lot.

It can be hard to tell when a love of gaming has crossed into the danger zone. Learn the warning signs that can alert you to a problem.

Write that on a tile and hang it on the wall.

Not really, if you look at my WR I have 63%, if you only take into account my last 15 matches I probably have like 80%. Most of the high wr players simply play with guys that work well as a team, like me, also keep in mind that it's way easier to win a 12-player scenario than a 100-player one.
Sadly it's hard to tell whether a player is a gold spammer just by their stats, but I've seen that most of them fall between the 1.5-2.5 kill ratio (weird, one would expect them to have over 4.0) and they are over LVL 100.
Another somewhat weird tendency I've seen is that they seem to be clustered in the same alliances, we even have a list of gold spamming alliances

Man, it is hard to find a good team. I love communicating. Often, players just sit there like it isn't a war game. One guy I am playing with right now does absolutely nothing. I even encouraged him to build some ICs. He isn't AFK, but he isn't doing anything. So I left to coalition and he is begging me to rejoin. Victory through passivity. While I won't attack him, I won't let him ride my coattails without an effort. Sorry, had to vent. [MoshieDyan]

I don't use gold at all. Not normally.
And that name in square brackets? Don't give funny ideas to people... (May be thought of as you are blacklisting)

Not going inactive every match will raise your win rate to nearly 50% by itself.
Also: "Trading space for time. Most players dont understand this. 'Retreating, regroup and fight in the terrain that is to your advantage. It's better to lose a couple of provinces until you give battle that is in your advantage.'"
Invaluable.

Join a good Alliance. I've been thru several and finally found one that works . We talk on Discord and I go into battle with people that are active.

For me the biggest indicator at a glance of their player card is the number of Active Player Kills if they kill 100 Active Player units per game played. I consider them players that arenβt gonna go AI on day three and theyβre competent enough to do damage to you if you arenβt focused.
AI kills are worth looking at too because it gives you an indication of their focus, if I see a player with a lot of AI kills and low Active Player kills, I usually anticipate them being players who wait until day three and start fighting after the AI takes over.

I try not to use any, but sometimes, if I'm like 300 resources short of something, and I know I can't wait until I get them normally (sleep or something), and the price on the market is really inflated, then I'll spend that 150g. I might make some exceptions when it comes to other gold spenders though.

I use gold sometimes, if research is about to finish in less than an hour but I won't be available then. Sometimes to speed up production (not like in an unfair way). Basically just to produce stuff more efficiently, and wouldn't affect the course of the game negatively to other players.

Yeah, that's basically how I use it. It has like no noticeable effect on other players, but makes stuff just a tad more convenient for me.
