How many games are being archived due to high level golders hmm I wonder?

Golding isn't as common as you think it is, unless you're counting reward gold. It's still possible to win without it.

I disagree, golding is now easier to hide with war bonds. I play in a alliance that does not use gold. Our guys have archived 4 games in a row due to deep pocket golders. I have been playing this game since 1.0 it is very easy to spot these guys. Some hide it better but some don't care. There is no limit to the amount of gold players can use and it becomes very addicting. Lots of players who haven't spent the time to learn how to play this game will bail themselves out with clicking the gold button. I'm sure if you were to ask the Bytro team if they have seen a massive increase with money coming into their pockets since all these damn updates have started. The answer would be YES! There is a very simple way to solve this problem which I said a year ago make games with gold and ones without gold. They would still make a boat load of money in the gold games and players like myself would still be able to enjoy this game in the non-gold games. Our guys are starting to step away bc we do not have the deep pockets to compete with these guys. There has always been gold in this game but never like we are starting to see now. These updates are making it way to easy for players to get addicted to using gold. Boaster cards and war bonds are used and when they run out they purchase gold to use. It very easy to put 2 and 2 together these updates and changes have been made to generate more money for the creators and with that being said there's more bugs now then ever before. They are ruining this great game but as long as they are making money they don't seem to care.

It's easy to figure out the strategy here. New players join and assume boaster cards and war bonds are part of the game BUT there was a time these didn't exist. So new players use up their boasters and war bonds without having learned the fundamentals of the game. Using boaster cards and war bonds are crutches to help fill the void of skill. Thus never really learning how to play the game and relying on these things. Once gone they have no choice but to buy more. Playing chess against a cheater. Take a piece of the board and they replace that piece with 10 others no skill required. I think these guys are getting further away from the most important piece of this game and that is strategy! no strategy by knocking down airbases or spamming units. Keep watering down the game and there will be nothing left. The least they could do is create games and ban gold use, it can't be that hard see what happens. See how many players would rather play a game without gold then with it. Why not listen to the suggestion?

1) BYTRO Terms of Service specifically state that they will NEVER under ANY circumstances reveal a players gold use.

2) The ToS specifically states that any "disparaging" comments about gold use or players using gold is a violation of the ToS subject to immediate discipline up to and including the termination of your account.

Since players buying gold is BYTRO's real world source of revenue, they will not tolerate or discuss any options which might negatively affect their business. Nor is it something they take lightly.

And since the forum archives are littered by dozens upon dozens of variations of this exact thread which have been shut down because of ToS violations, it's just a matter of time before someone makes a "disparaging" comment and this thread joins the heap.

Every game has like 5 countries who get bigger faster than it is normally possible. I'm gonna say: Put gold use in NEWS statistic, hide country names if you're that sissies, but do something so we don't have to blame people for golding if they're not golding and to reveal golders who lie their asses off to hide it.
