Even harder then now, playing without advisors and top100, gj
now its pretty easy actually with trading as u can buy all 5 advisors easy and even get gold for insta buys if u are active and farming. But if u log in once a day and farm 8h only ofc u wont be able to make it to top500.
Lets say u have 5 cities on 5 islands with 7 lvl4 farms open each, and u decide to stop building and just farm for gold for one day and hit farm limits (with looting ofc), 5*7*10k ress =350k ress, atm u can sell 1k-1,2k ress for 10gold, if u sell all its almost 3k gold = ~20euros + add ress that u got for farming ghost and inactives ... Ofc doesnt all ppl have time and will to farm that much its just an example that its possible to play without gold.
Anyway thats not even important, just said this to show u Lemur that there is not problem in Triad neither Triad leadership neither gold neither anything else but YOU and you inactivity. As its said before u already knew what expectations are, if u already played other server where u focus, u shouldnt even join, and saying that u joined cuz of ppl from Triad is just bullsht as i didnt even saw u on skype or forum once after first few days world started.
24/7 ? u didnt even play for 0.5/7 As u already play with this team u should know that pretty much all have lifes and jobs or studying
