I am confused I thought everyone was complaining about Gold Trading and now it has been made useless why are people complaining? Gold Whores can longer mass buy resources so what is the issue.
yeah i am puzzled too. i guess some of the freeloaders are upset because gold trading has dried up and some pay-to-win (P2W) player resent the excessive cost. hypocrisy is certainly alive and well even though the game has died
when Inno devised gold trading it removed the last growth constraint on the P2W players. prior to gold trading everyone was capped by resources, especially in the early game. when it was introduced, there was no longer any restraint.
in the P2W freemium game that grepolis has become, less than one percent of the heavy gold using players provide up to 90% of the game revenue. these players are called whales. the rest of you have only one purpose... to keep the game interesting enough to keep the whales playing.
everything you are complaining about is designed for the whales... gold trading was NOT designed to help the freeloaders... it was designed to placate the whales. instabuy... the gold events... all designed to draw money from the whales.
but it started with gold trading... and that is when the game lost its soul
i was a whale once. however i liked the pre-gold trading constraints because the game was not purely P2W.
i was a game... not a commercial entertainment scam
I quit after PHI... the last non-P2W world
sadly that is the only thing you can do once greed takes a hold on the game.
YOU ARE BEING MONETIZED!! WAKE UP AND OPEN YOUR EYES!!
