I believe you made a huge mistake on increasing the expense of that. doubtful that your expenses were raised that much, but I am out of the giving for gold..I used to rationalize it as helping the game, but now you're just trying to take too much from your customers....Good Luck, but I bet you'll see a huge loss in revenue if people are paying attention.
what I would give every so often was 29.99 and with a bonus it'd be 120,000 for a 20% 133,000 for 33% etc...now it's set up like 49.99 with 33% for 159,600.....
those with deep pockets will support the game I cannot justify it anymore.
The great glory of being a freemium player is that you don’t have to care about the prices, you can just play and enjoy the game regardless. Maybe beat up a few golders with the pure power of your skill. 
With wage increases all companies are experiencing increased operating costs. Personally I think in addition to the increasing the price of gold, they should increase the gold costs of everything in game to account for all the extra gold now with the ads. I support the game with the High Command; which doesn't really unbalance the game. There is nothing HC does that you couldn't do if you weren't online at the time. Plus you can create your own maps to play games with alliance mates.xRaptorZx wrote:

So to Carking the 6th, I've played plenty of games w/o gold, Im just sayin the increase isn't worth it to me to support the game....I am not sure where you're ranked but Im fairly high, and kinda know what Im talking about...it's going to hurt the game...mark my words
6ThDragon a lot of 6ths here....stop with the cost that's a silly reasoning for doubling the price...inflation isnt' up 100%....as for HC yeah HC offers a HUGE Bonus to those that play, 1 you can set it and forget it X5 units and buildings, but more importantly you can set your units attack stance, which is a huge advantage you don't have to run your arty into enemies you can hit them with arty til they're gone then move on...
but I digress that's taking away from the fact that
for 29.99 you used to get 100k gold plus w/e bonus %...now that is 49.99....get outta here, cost...that's a rip off
Well I am rank 147 or something but I don’t know if that’s something big or not. But well I mean losing a high ranking player won’t exactly effect a game of millions. And either way Wallet Warriors or players who spend and amount of money are gonna be worth more to them than you ever could, unfortunately. That’s just capitalism for you.
While I don’t agree with making gold worth less, and I do agree that HC offers an advantage for paying players, it’s nothing that you can’t overtake with hard work. They definitely have an advantage and while it sucks that you can’t do better by playing, it’s a freemium game and the United States won the Cold War, unfortunate as it may seem.
While Bytro is relatively big with games played by millions they are no EA or Activision and probably are taking damage from the modern economic situation. Google puts their revenue at 6-12 million, which is nothing to scoff at but not infinite at the slightest.
I don’t buy gold so I can really comment fairly on your last point. But I and many players here can accumulate large amounts of gold for free over time though, so you don’t really need to worry about this too much.
Carking, Let me know the next map you're on, i want to play against you...since I know you're very very high ranked and of course never used purchased gold, ever....I would love to see you in action perhaps a a mate or against...either way I know there's very few who can beat me if they don't spend gold....
Look I also want to mention i've played games where a guy would take over a city and build it up rank 5 of everything purchase 10 units and then move on to the next city and repeat...we reported him, nothing was done we tried to drain that player...it was hopeless ofcourse...so I know of the bad sides of gold as well...but I still say the support will drop...i digress....hope to meet you on the battlefield soon Carking be it friend or foe.
We will see. I’m not planning any new maps soon…
Technically that’s not prohibited. You can buy and spend as much gold as you want. It isn’t against the rules, so you can’t report it. Best you can do it tag team them to death with the rest of the people in that map.
