Well that was a fun read. It does display the vast difference in mindset between venom and OV/EQ players though, and why they probably will never get along.
As someone who has been in venom since day 1, and has had a leadership role for the majority of the time I was with them, I never thought venom would 'win' this world. The only reason for this is that venom had too many good players. Traditionally good, that is. Killers. People who don't give a single shít about points or WWs. I even said very early on I would personally not contribute towards building WWs had I still been playing.
WWs have ruined this game by heavily promoting the simmer/farmville playstyle, which bores good players. Grepolis' endgame is geared towards goldwhores and simmers, bad players. It actively discourages fighting. There is no incentive for good players to keep on playing worlds till the end, which is why a lot have quit, myself included. I applaud players like fara, digi and miknel who have the willpower to keep at it and show the world how this game should be played. You guys are da real MVPs. I wish I could have too, but to me the game just isn't fun anymore. I stayed as long as I did for the people, so thanks for that venom peeps (and a couple of OV/EQ dudes) <3
Congrats EQ, you have proven to be the best at simming. If you guys feel like that's something to be proud of, then by all means be. You will/have blemish(ed) your profile with a shiny crown. Just fyi, there are games which do the citybuilding and pointfarming system a whole lot better than Grepolis.
The simple fact that my account is still in the top 90 of attackers, higher than the majority of you guys, after almost 2 months of inactivity just proves the difference in playstyle between venom players and the vast majority of OV/EQ players. It also illustrares why we won't ever get along, our definitions of good is clearly exceedingly different. It's old-school vs new-age. (good vs bad )
