Ban Gold the 1st 7 days at a World start!

[VIRTUALSELF]

The problem isnt in gold, you actually have a lot of tools to deal with it in Grepolis compared to many actual P2W games out there.

However the recent removal of buy limit on GA packs are worrying, i'd still say you can deal with golders, if you are commited. Chances are you are just less active than the goldspender tbh.

The real imbalance is between deff/off currently. A lot of the previous updates has been in favour of the attacker, making it almost impossible to defend a city by stacking. Narcissism, way better off heroes, GA limit removal, much higher frequency of 20% attack buff, offensive same sec timing guarantee etc etc., the list goes on. Grepolis seriously need to balance this major problem out. Servers die within 1 month now because the first attacker will almost always win by blitzing

Yeah I agree with you both for sure which is why I believe its important to drop correctly. Nowadays I think only pre-mades can handle heavy golding. With gold comes a lot of laziness, I seen it before where people keep golding colony ships with awful escort to accompany the ship. I think gold is horrible on the conquest setting but on revolt it can be okay because nowadays, every team has at least 1 or 2 heavy goldies but personally, I think on conquest it's really difficult but that's possibly because I'm a revolt turtle and I favor my wall high to resist the golded up troops whereas on conquest with no wall, well we know what happens.

I would happily pay 5-10£ to play on a world with no gold that would be fantastic but heyho, one can only dream haha!

Yes until someone who didnt take his meds founds a 1k city next to you, 9k in 3 hours and starts golding out landlocks one after another with 14 min tt

Not just that, a lot of the big golder’s are too lazy to actually do a properly timed siege with support. Instead, they just spam you when you are asleep until you turn off your alarm and let them take your city with an unsupported CS.
To respond to pg also. You know I like you bro, but likening grepo wallet players as similar to athletes in hardcore training sounds like Emilio Esteves’ character in The Breakfast Club having a breakdown about his dad and his coach and his teammates constantly pressuring him to win at all costs…. That is the description of a mental illness when it occurs as part of playing a video game….
“I can tape all your butt cheeks together!”

You always comment and complain about gold usage, mate you just spend less time than other people in this game. No shame in that, but it's always a bit fun to see someone who barely logs in complain about being CQ'ed or revved by some guy who spent a lot of time in the game.

I am logged in at least 12-16 hours a day dude and didn’t get CQd. Whatchu smokin there Willis?

I’ll add that I killed 3 enemy CS yesterday and scared off one this morning before I ghosted my 7 cities after changing their names…

I hate to be that guy, but if you are logged in 12-16 hours a day and still only rank 100, then you are just straight up bad at the game. 12-16 hour a day as 100% F2P should give you top 10 lol

You sir, are a bald faced lying troll and I was in the top 50 just like 141 and 139. You literally said the same thing on those forums also. You are not a valid opinion dude. Honestly, top 10 here, try wallet boy club. No one in the top 10 here got it without massive gold spending.
I will also add that I was in the top 10 for ABP the last 3 days running because I either reply quickly to trip hits or had a ninja CS in a ghost and saw enemy CSs, pulled mine, then sniped their CS….
You foolin man…. foolin no one but yoself!

nah bro when i was 100% F2P in school ( i was like 15-16) i was top 15 in both points and bp, and it was wayy more players

Yeah, back when gold only halved the builds for stuff. Farming can only get you so far if the neighbors an island or two away are buying 3k or more gold per day…. Not per week…. Some of them are buying rss for gold off players who have cities built with high temples as favor farms…. There is whole seedy underworld of half simmer players in these mra groups. They exist just to make 80 mantis nukes for certain big spenders, eke out their gold, and occasionally get a crown. It’s not technically multiple accounts, but the feeders are simmers.

no lmao it was only 2-3 yrs ago it was instagold

Well, then, that must have been an easy server, but gold wasn’t as prevalent back then. More players and people laid back more. Now they just go ape from the start and have 6 cities first week, 12 second, and 20 by the third…. It’s like the old lady at the slot machine with a bucket of coin…. Gonna keep feedin it!

Okay en141 you were no30 within first month, en139 you were no100. Go to grepolife.com lol
I'm not foolin anyone.. both en105, en110 and en138 i ended in top 10 with 20k gold buy-in only. Just get good man

No... It is completely normal to be top15 as 100% free to play. Heck, the #1 guy on EN140 is 100% F2P. Stop crying and learn the game.

the gold usage now is nothing compared to what it was few years ago so this is a terrible statement, i have been top 15 F2P on some very competitive servers with some good *** teams if you are active you can be a top player gold doesnt matter, and we really acting like every revolt world in the past it wasnt many players droppin a few thousand dollars on the game, for example erik, or anyone in EN.. go check out top fighters from sinope.. people with 48 mill bp lmao even CQ back in the day high competitive worlds was massive gold spending

You simply are a troll. You simmed half the server on 139 eating internals. You threatened to come get me and never did! I ghosted with 27 cities and none lost to anyone while you played cannibal an ocean away….

I'm sorry but what lmao? I got invited onto en139 by a friend and i simmed till 50k points, got kicked for simming and then i gave my cities to ranbir singh
I'm a revolt player and just waited for en140, i dropped with my team, ended up #2 attacker and won the server

 

[Zen Shadow]

Whatever you say lols…. and your goofy alliance…. Just farm your gold and feed whoever his favor for myths dude…

I think what is key here is Balance, I have seen many of you point it out.

Inno could revive this game alot and turn it around but they dont.

I am not going to lie, I am a wee bit of a simmer just for the enjoyment of the game and the progress i like to see in building an empire, It all depends on the world really, Other worlds i have Jizzed Offense all over the map and been a headache for everyone.
I take turns, Ill sim a world and then ill dedicate on another. Others i just like to try and accumulate the greposcore

Inno can cater to the Simmers and sunday warriors quite easily, If i was running things i would have different server modes.

They would be things like.

Hardcore Domination, No Gold, No tokens. Just a server for those who like to grind or cant afford the mass amounts of gold.

Points Paradise, For simmers, The first player to reach 1,500,000 Points and hold that amount or over for 2 months wins the world. Gold limited and balanced for obvs reasons

Golden Grave, A world where all gold is free but can only be used in that world. Yall just run around smashing anything that moves with instant armies, This idea would be more of a gimick though lol

As well as keeping all the usual worlds we have, And a mega server also by way of merger

My love for the game runs deep and like PG pointed out this is a bit a lifestyle for some as we wouldnt keep coming back over the last decade.


What also sucks is that the only ones keeping this game alive are the likes of us who are all at eachothers throats in the forums which is sad to see as we obviously all share the same love and enjoyment from this. I gold every week like clockwork, Its only $10 dollars but its still money at the end of the day, We need to band together and make inno listen if we are to keep the game we love alive and strong, Fat chance i know, But we are the revenue when it comes down to it
