Quite a few reasons really, some of the which I can't repeat because they keep removing the post but here are some:
(0.) The whole rewarding the incompetent with all the DBP, rather than giving it to the people who bail them out.
Exactly, There should be a whole section of BP for supporters. Half the top players in DBP would be nothing without their alliance mates selflessly giving their troops to whoever is under attack.
(1.) When the mods don't like you saying something they delete your post or worse they edit it.
It's happened to me too, but I guess they have a reason. (EX : I'm bad tempered and i swear a lot.)
(2.) They have dumb rules like don't excise your freedom of speech, example, D&D.
It's amazing that they closed DnD over a few threads, DnD is what kept so many people here. Not to mention that the mods kept on making worthless promises that it would be back up once new 'rules' were implemented. It's been down since early June and 2 months later nothing has been said or done about it. I'm getting sick of that.
(3.) Recruitment reduction makes the ABP ranks and milestones pointless, so if I am not chasing after 100K ABP milestone what am I suppose to compete for on a individual level.
Recruitment reduction just shows how carried away Inno is getting with premium.
(4.) They want to take my Hera away
I agree with Tyrion on this.
(5.) They keep adding in premium features before the game was simple pay £20 and that would be enough to last you 6 months. Now majority of us aint the most outgoing people so we don't spend a lot of money so we can afford to pay like x amount on a game but I don't want the little angel on my left shoulder reminding me I can sponsor a child for that money.
I'm a non-permium player myself mainly because i don't have near enough money to cough up $20 bucks a week on an online game. Premium is out of hand, Inno has gone WAY too far with it. They need to start releasing premium-free worlds.
(6.) One too many premium features means the big players will quit sooner because it will burn a huge hole in their pocket.
Exactly, very few of us have the luxury of having enough money to be successful in this game.
(7.) The premium features means gap between us an the rest got a little bigger which is not good.
It's simple ; without premium you will never make it into the top 100 and stay in the top 100 unless you devote every waking minute of your life to this game.
(8.) The direction grepo is going, there is no guarantee they are not going to make it even worse over the next few updates.
My thoughts exactly.
(9.) The server popualtions are too small because they keep filling up the core with players that have no intention of playing the server and they open a new one too often., like if we were to rim a member of CK they would end up in one of their oceans when they restart.
Half the people on your island when you join a world are inactive. People need to stop joining every world.
(10.) The disbanding and the general snobbery
shown towards new players by the older members of the community.
Yeah, lots of people haven't been very nice to me either. Probably because i'm considered a royal a-hole by so many people.
(11.) The new farming bots, apps and scripts, how do you not use them when everyone else you are competing with is.
If your a pure non-premium players you should be aloud to use farming bots just to keep up with the others.
(12.) If the player I recruit are using bots, it makes the mods on the team look bad when some of their teammates get caught.
Some mods are way too nice to mod.
(13.) When I first decided to start the premade we had just taken 55 and looked like CS was going to merge into us so the server was gonna be dead within month or two but CS as merged into their enemies and it's been quite fun taking the last core ocean for so Xi aint so boring anymore.
No comment.
(14.) 2.0 incoming notification is tiny, like hey you are under attack but don't worry its not a big deal carry on building your city. When in actuial fact the screen should be flashing red like run byatch run, that really bothers me.
Half the time i have no idea what the hell is happening because i can't see the damn icon/notification.
(15.) Everything feels like been their done that now, can I build up from 175 points all over again on the buggy 2.0.
