Gold

Then Bytro lose money. I doubt it will be put in. That would just make coiners getting GM even easier and way cheaper.

And they would spend more! And if you have the posibilty for a Jack Pot of 50 000 Gold, then you would be willing to spend 10 000 Gold more easily!

No...

Have you played poker with real moeny?

Yes.

In my opinion the use of gold is something normal,and the sale of gold for real money is logical, since the company makes money with this game.

I believe that the gold system is OK as it is.

A greeting.

That would be bad, people would create multiple accounts and spend all the gold, play with one account win the game, double their Gold. Not the best idea or at least for now till we don't get a better anti-cheating system.

"Gold" or whatever it gets called will always be an issue in 'free-to-play' games. With no initial charge to buy and no subscription fee the developers, Bytro in our case, need some way to create an income. I have no doubt you are aware of this Freakbrain and you have provided a suggestion which you suppose will prevent people from leaving rounds where they are getting killed by gold use. The thing is, those of us that do not use gold are not likely going to be enticed to fight a futile war if the only reward is gold which we don't want to use.

It has oft been suggested that Bytro devise some other way of getting our money but how likely is it that the player base would pay a monthly subscription? It would need to be a nominal amount; 5$? Would players be willing? Could High Command be made more attractive without making it a game breaker? Bytro once had certain units available only in 'gold rounds' in S1914 but eventually made them available to all players. There isn't an easy answer and I don't begrudge Bytro from making money with gold. Do they lose players who become disheartened by losing a game to gold use? I am certain of it, but on the whole I suspect that Bytro is on the winning end. I have no clue how large the active player base is but I do know that groups get together to play, by use of the honor system, gold-free rounds.

I would like Bytro to take this to the forum themselves as they are obviously aware of the unbalance gold creates. They are coders and therefore understand logic so it is not feasible that they would be shocked by this. Could we see them issue a survey to all of there players and stage a forum discussion on the issue to try to determine, if for example, players would pay a subscription?

If they received enough positive response they could implement a trial period and see if it makes sense to them economically.

If you want the game to develop Bytro labs needs money and that needs players who are willing to spend their money. If players quit a game that is being controlled by a person with lots of gold that is their loss. Anyways the prices of gold use are higher than in Supremacy 1914 so we should be thankful for that.

Ew, no. I would never pay for this but I would buy premium currency. If they want to sell it, they will lose all of their player base.

It is not against Gold totally. I played against gold players and it made the game very exciting.

My point is more or less to make it more interesting for people who do not pay money to stay in the game.

The one thing is that cheating with multi-accounts would unbalance the system.

Im trying to preserve the traditional Call Of War! And you can keep your goat!

Id probably abandon the game permanently if it required a subscription, even a small one. Spending money on pixels is something for the truly obsessed. I don't really use gold, I have 8k saved from wins/what I started with, I only use it on occasion to try to keep the balance with players who actually are buying gold and trying to win a game with real life money. Im proud to say in Sup 1914 people who tried to use that tactic on me tended to just waste money and lose the match anyway.

At first I used to think people using lots of goldbucks to give them edge was unsporting and very unfair but have come to realize even if I lose that its important to put up a fight and cost them as much money as possible. I have gotten giggles in sup 1914 of people rush building a navy of subs, cruisers, and BBs just to have half of them sink quickly after being launched and their harbors captured by my ground forces forcing them to try to spend even more GB to rush build units so I would not capture them in the factories.

Im probably off topic a bit there in the end but im also trying to say that when people use gold it can be used against them and they can be tricked into wasting it in both this game and sup 1914.
