Gold use is ruining this great game!

Gold use has been a topic of dispute for a long time. Gold is ,least to say, overpriced and is generating revenue for the game to be functioning soo pleas don't blame your lack of skills to gold.

Would you like to rephrase that?

Don't blame your lack of skills to gold????

Oh, it is very unclear to me. I am a literal person and how you wrote this seems to imply that if you get wiped out by golders it's because you have no skill.

Overpriced? When there are no other whales around, you can buy a victory (and disrupt yet another round) with like 10 Euro.

Resources that if I have to use in a single game at once would make ginormous difference that I did not deserve nor payed for.

You want ti say that 17k gold can determine outcome of the game,that is comical.

what is worse is the admins wanting to ban people for talking about this !!

17k is the normal price; no one pays that because there'all these great offers and % discounts and bonuses from operations all the time. It is probably closer to 30k, that's 60k of extra resources. When you drop those on day one, yeah, you can probably take out two extra neighbors on day 1, and if you don't know how to win from there, it is probably YOU who lack the

If you ever heard of other free to play games and their issues with premium in game currencies you wouldn't complain .

Especially considering you cannot do anything about it.

Same thing from almost same people I've been reading on forum for past 3 years,what other attribute to give to those then "crybaby"

OK folks, a couple of important points:

1 - You're right the game would probably be a lot more fun to a lot of people, if people didn't spend the gold.

The problem with this, If BYTRO didn't charge anything, the company would be out of business, and those of you not complaining will lose out on a FTP game, for those of you who seem to be too cheap out there.

BTW, denouncing gold usage is a bannable offence.

Go read the Terms of Service that you all AGREED to when you signed on to play this game.

2 - It's not going to change, until or unless, you folks present a better option for a game? What that might be, is up to you folks, but if your option is stop the people from spending $$$ on the game, then that's simply not going to work.

You would all be far better served to work out possible ways to allow BYTRO to make their money, with the limitations you wish to enforce on some of the players, that you think will make it a better game.

Some suggestions:

A - Ask BYTRO to make a game map available, with players needing to pay a $35 or equivalent buy in, that would allow no gold purchases on the game?

B - Ask BYTRO to create a club for those want to play only gold free games, but folks would have to pay $50 a month to get into the club.

These are just a couple of suggestions. Come up with some of your own. Complaining that BYTRO is money hungry is not going to get you anywhere.

BTW, one last thing, we Moderators don't want to necessarily shut down talk about gold spending, except that it's part of our job. Do you guys have jobs where you get to do whatever you want? Didn't think so.

The alternative has been suggested many times: making people pay to get into games. The costs for that you mentioned are somehow coming from some misty alchemy kettle, it really wouldn't have to cost those amounts to make it viable for Bytro. It is just, they don't want to take any chance at all, and scare any of their whales away... which is basically a very primitive way of thinking. You can't rely on whales who just want to have the feeling of out-buying others, they will be gone whenever their whim changes. Dedicated players who want nothing but a level playing field for everyone are FAR more valuable in the long run.

In my experience, RRG/AA stacks aren't the meta for vanilla WaW maps at all. I play them quite often, and win most of them (if I don't quit them because there are massive golders around), and I hardly ever build any of those stacks. When I meet enemies who do, I leave them standing around and evade them, taking all their land except the provinces where those one or two big stacks are. Usually that is enough to make them quit, and when the AI takes over they break it up and send out the units piecemeal which are destroyed easily.

Rocket Artillery is also a favorite unit of mine, sometimes with a bit of artillery. They follow the rush screen to take out defenders who have too much AA to be viable targets for bombers.
