And again more crying?
You know, I agree. It's not really NOOBS fault that this game is broken. It is inevitable that some alliance is going to gather together the bulk of the players willing to spend significant amounts of gold to get ahead.
I choose not to spend a lot of gold on reducing building and troop production times etc etc. I could "afford" it but that's really not the point and I think you guys know that. What it boils down to is that if another alliance came along and spent gold the way you guys have been to get an early advantage what do you think would happen? You guys would respond by spending more gold and then they would do the same etc etc. Where does it end? And where does that leave the players who pay for the advisors but don't want to get into a gold spamming war? I'm sure Innogames would love to see such a scenario arise but of course some people are just a little too rational to allow themselves to get sucked into that trap.
And quite frankly it pisses off a lot of players that have payed a reasonable amount to support the game and get the advisors and then have to sit and listen to a bunch of arrogant gold spammers tell us all how great they are and how the rest of us are just a bunch of noobs. The milestones thread is a joke for that very reason. Whatever your skill level may be, once you start being a gold spammer you really lose any credibility for making those kinds of claims about yourselves or other players. But that's why you pay the gold isn't it? So you can do exactly that. That's the mentality that Innogames is counting on.
And it's not just that. There is a point at which the gold spending translates into an unreasonable advantage, especially when it's so concentrated in one alliance (which it inevitably will be). Assuming you have a number of alliances with skilled players and only one spends a large amount on gold spamming that translates into buying your victory. It doesn't demonstrate anything but that. If you wanted to get respect you'd have to level the playing field and then see how you fared without that crutch. And that's what I and a lot of other players hate about these spammable features is they destroy the possibility for that kind of fair competition to take place. I don't have any objection to seeing skilled players in a well organized alliance win because they were the most dedicated and had the best strategy and I would gladly tip my hat to players that did win on that basis.
As for bots. Meh, I didn't accuse any particular player of being a bot user. All I said is there are probably some using a bot. We all know that there are bots getting used in this game and we know that some of those users (possibly a significant number given the big advantage they give) are top ranked players who know how to avoid getting caught (ie. don't tell anyone that you're using it). Gold spammers need a lot of additional resources to support those faster queues and early game the best source of that is farming villages. To consistently collect maximum resources from farming villages on a daily basis you either need to be a machine or use a bot. Put two and two together and you draw the reasonable conclusion that a fair number of gold spammers in the top ranks are probably using one. Guess which alliance most of those top ranked gold spamming players happen to belong to on this server.
So what your basically saying is that we spend alot of gold and thats why we are on top...
can you PLEASEEE tell me how you know how much we have spent? please post some evidence stating how much we spent?
