What we think of gold

That is all well and good but these gold spammers keep the lights on in Bytro HQ. So this always will be a no from Bytro, unless of course we all start buying gold. Which isn't going to happen.

What I mean is no gold cap in buying, but using, over a period of time, like one day or one week. It makes the game fairer.

Recently, in a game, I'm doing pretty well until a guy attacks me and his interceptor suddenly improves two levels while his tac bomber increases by one level. It happened only in minutes, but it already let me think about the fairness of using gold. Could using gold be capped to some point?

Also, remember that a unit improving two levels does not necessarily mean the player has used gold. If you trade with an ally and buy his units, you can sometimes have units that are one or two levels below your own. So, for example, I can have level 3 cruisers, but if I buy a Level 1 Cruiser off an ally, that cruiser will still be Level 1. Until I level up my cruisers, at which time ALL my cruisers will level up to 4, including the level 1 cruiser that I bought. So it might look like my cruiser levelled up 3 levels, but that is because I just completed a level up from 3 to 4.

Being fair isn't what keeps Bytro out of debt though, people spending gold does.

Oh, that explains the interceptor and tac bomber problem, but I was astonished about his unit producing speed.

Having said that, there is really nothing quite as satisfying as beating a gold spammer. In my current game I was up against a guy who used gold to build a whole bunch of rockets and tried to use them to kill off my air force. Quite challenging having to keep moving your planes from one base to another to keep them from getting caught on the ground, but very satisfying when he ran out of rockets and all he had to show for it was a few destroyed AA guns and garrisoning militia.

And for a response of this one, it's just a cap in using. Bytro earns money by people BUYING the gold, so whether they use it a lot or not, it doesn't really affect it. A gold usage cap could actually help the gold users, since it makes them make better choices about using the gold.

Money makes the world go round, or in this case Call of War servers open. I doubt that Bytro will add a gold cap, if anything they want you to spend more so they have more cash. And there is kind of a cap in how much real money are you willing to pour in a match to win

The other fairness issue is that EVERYONE should get the 1000% gold promotion bonus...then at least we can compete in this PAY TO WIN GAME. For me to compete with that new/rookie player, i would need to spend $30 for 100,000 gold...no thanks.

enough is enough

there needs to be a limit on the amount of gold a player can use in a single match

look at the results so far in game #2356745 Free for All Event

one would think i am winning by a lot but NO -- i am getting my butt kicked because every time I begin to turn the tide Tanganyika (whoever he is -- anonymous match) spends another 50-100K of gold

now he is creating massive numbers of rockets

game used to be fun

if something does not change soon; i will say goodbye

If it makes you feel better @Brawntar you can think about how if they do spend 50-100k gold they are blowing around £20 to win a match on a online game. Otherwise gold is here to stay as it is.

So just grin and bear it, concede the game and move along. Just console yourself with the thought that these guys are financing the game that you and I are playing and enjoying for free, and let them have their fun spending that gold to smash you.

Tell yourself that to win against you using a hundred thousand gold pieces is like beating you in a fencing match, in which you fight without a weapon, and move along.

I think the only way to deal with gold is to accept it philosophically. I have had really annoying experiences, where you work hard to pull off some tactical surprise against someone, and lo and behold, he suddenly has three nuclear bombers appear out of thin air that proceed to blast your cities.

Ofc I am not against gold, gotta pay the bills. Though I find that for 1750 gold you can see an entire countries army for a day is a little op. Seeing where all the troops are can be a huge advantage, especially against submarines.

Lol weren't you saying these guys are noobs who can't play so you always beat them? I digress.

Also try reading my post carefully. I said that I pulled off a tactical suprise and the other guy suddenly had three new nuclear bombers. I still destroyed his base and two of those three bombers, and conquered the island the base was on. Which also means I got the nuclear reactor he had built on that island

You didn't say this part you just complained "uh uh a gold user nuked me".

Reported, by the way.

That is not what I said, I said I had an annoying experience.
