I heard that when people set up these vpn proxies based on cheap currencies, they just chargeback all the money on paypal when they get banned.
So essentially, these proxy ruby whale accounts are free, you just have to put down a big deposit with Paypal
its really no surprise the UK server is dying with these accounts and the creep in power of castellans. Im just glad i didnt buy that eagle set last month

you got it mate, disposable accounts, that can buy whatever they want whenever they want firstly for significantly cheaper than others, but more importantly in the knowledge that they will claim it all back when its banned anyway. After its botted its way and bought its way to victory in anything it wants.
And GGE is on a win win, the reason it does nothing is becasue these cheat accounts make other players spend more to compete. they spend more trying to defend attacks from their cheated troops, spend more trying to compete in the competitions. So although on the face of it it appears they lose out to the fraudulant chargebacks.
They know that the only real losers are those playing legitimatly. and who lose out to the cheats either directly or indirectly. So they do nothing, they allow the same people to do it over and over again, bouncing from one account to the next without a care in the world!

so if I understand this
1 illegally create a second account
2 illegally add software to hide your true location and buy rubies for a fifth of the price through brazil or wherever
3. now to get five times as much goodies tools troops and event bonus and everyone asks what do you do with 50k vet horrors.
4 illegally insert auto bot software so you can rip up an event while you have a snooze. must go to bank to create chargeback on the £1k. gge give my cash back
5 get a ban whilst payment dispute is resolved - but the main act is in a winning alliance so more freebies all round. everyone else shouts cheat and gge investigate.
6 illegally create a second act...……………………………………………………..

I would expect Board Moderators to have commented on this or at least confirmed they have raised what are increasingly serious concerns. All players should be made aware if there is now an issue where the use of these accounts is being systematically pushed to get round suspensions and to win alliance / individual rewards.
There is another more worrying aspect to this some players have been I understand banned for threatening behaviour or harassment. In those situations it is really important for players to know that they are properly protected by a responsible game developer. The situations described in a level of detail from different sources on different servers with a degree of acceptance that suggests this isn't a temporary fad but is becoming an embedded and endemic issue. If GGE needs players to work with them on issues of safety of this nature I'm pretty confident vast majority of players would. What worries me is the guys laughing about this and thinking themselves clever for presuming to have overcome their in game inadequacies - and if your having to go to this level of quasi criminal dishonesty you're pretty much a no hoper who quit on the actual game in real terms some time ago - lack an appreciation that they are opening the door for that type harassment and victimisation.
Alliance leaders really do need to step and take a lead on this. If you have these accounts in your alliance remove them now would be my advice before they drag you down with them. I'd suggest that on the third instance of a ban within an alliance the alliance level is reset to zero all their resources are reset to zero their alliance city is reset to zero and they are banned for all events for a month. If they chose to leave then well great. Genuine players caught up in it will stick with the game and weather the storm and perhaps might be more selective with whom they choose to play in the future.
I'd ask that Board Moderators consider reopening a discussion around what players consider collectively to be a reasonable punishment for actions that both has and will cause them and their alliances material loss and which put players at risk.

The problem is batten it is the alliance leader in the biggest UK alliance so good luck appealing to the alliance leaders!!
the last leader is perma banned and his metro still sat there waiting to be capped, and the new leader is just taking up where he left off. just another resurected shell, and when thats banned which it will be at some point there will be another waiting to take its place.
and the biggest alliance on the server already lost 3 accounts to perma bans in the last few weeks, and for every account that gets banned another one steps up, and so it goes on.
Like i said disposable accounts, GGE are fully aware of it believe me, and whats more they have been perfectly well aware of it for a long long time, this is not a new thing its been happening YEARS and its been reported over and over and over again. but nothing ever happens.
there are alliances literally FULL of these VPN accounts, if you look hard enough they are very very obvious to spot, just look around, and you will come across them. I have no doubt that you will have had them trying to join your alliance. My alliance had 2 proxy shells try to join just this week. But it was clear they were just shells, and almost certainly shells that were appempting to become planted in my alliance. so they were refused entry.
So widespread is this i can pretty much guarantee you that any account made started in the last 6-12 months i can pretty much guarantee the vast majority of them are cheap currency vpn accounts, that are simply multiple accounts sat waiting to either add power to alliances or be planted into other lliances or sitting there waiting to replace accounts that are banned.
OFC GGE are a company that are famed for their love of stats, they know EXACTLY how many new accounts have joined their game and they sure as hell know which location they are registered from, they know exactly whats happening, and exactly how common its become, yet they still refuse to deal with it, even though its a very very simple fix. All they have to do is reset every single account on the UK server to UK currency and at the same time make it impossible to register and account on the uk server with a currency cheaper than GBP. Yet they would rather the server gets exploited, and the only explanation is that these cheap accounts, push the real accounts to lose more, and spend more to try and compete, so its a win win for them. I woud not say they encourange the exploitation but i can say they do NOTHING to stop it, so thats the only explanation.

It must be costing GGE a fortune though with players not spending running a business myself I can't see financial how letting people rip you off makes good business sense. Allowing the chargeback to players you've suspended for rule breaches seems like something you want your lawyers to be looking at contractually otherwise your just going to be bleeding money over and over and over again. It's astonishing for a tech company. VPN does look difficult from a laymans perspective to solve. From a GB perspective it's just an embarassment to be be honest to have to try and explain to players from other servers. They are so far ahead now we are pretty much stiffed in terms of competing. On brightside judging by the reports or lack of them we've seen from latest Kon Misc US Server war they are in the same boat and misery loves company lol.

I just said about that yesterday, in the January update discussion.
This is good except that ruby purchase option,an 'UPPER HAND' for all the ruby whales.
This Cast set was meant to lessen the gap b/w Ruby players and simple ones but don't know if that'll happen.
Otherwise good step!
AND there is nothing balanced out as well
It just got stronger!

with the amount you actually complain in here, I would suggest you quit the game and become a politician. It is what is, if you pay then undoubtedly you will get slightly better advantages in the game, if you don't pay well rightfully not as many advantages, sounds like life to me, everyone looks for there idealistic way on how GGE should balance the game out, fact is non paying players get so many more advantages out of the game then they ever did in the past. When we had to loot for our casts and comms GGE was wrong coz some players couldn't play everyday, now there purchasable on events and with rubies, its still not good enough because some players cant afford it, I would suggest you actually stopped moaning for once and just play the game, you might find you enjoy it lol peace out

Philt123 (GB1) said:The real irony is that the old cast was pulled becasue it was too powerfull,
The new cast is very nearly as powerfull the only difference is now you have to pay for it!!!
You couldnt write it could you screwing the balance of the game doesnt matter if you pay rubies to do it PMSL
The worst of it is is that the only real players buying this cast will be the cheap ruby accounts that are now domininting and destroying the game.
No one in their right mind these days spends on a full priced account!!!!
So not only have GGE screwed the balance of the game, they are allowing those who cheat and build their cheap ruby accounts to be the ones to profit from it.
Nice work GGS, screw the balance AND allow the cheats to benefit most from it at the same time, PURE GENIUS.
have you never stopped to try and work out why the vast majority of new accounts are coming from, Argentine, Brazil, Ukraine. ETC. And that the old UK Ruby buyers have now stopped buying?
Come on it aint rocket science. Its a simple simpel fix that would take abotu 2 seconds for any decent programmer to put a stop to this practice one and for all. But no, you choose to let the wholesale exploitation of your game instead, Very soon you will be left with just a handfull of Shells / multis. And you will be forced to look yourself in the mirror and say yes we did that, we could have stopped it, but we didnt. Maybe you can appologise to every single one of your employees as you make them redundant.
But dont ever pretend you didnt know. This is your game your lack of actions you need to own it.

Finally a complaint on the forum that's actually worth reading, and is actually an extremely worrying reality on the game right now. The quicker GGE actually do something about this abomination and that's what it is, for everyone who does not do this there gaming experience on here is being ruined, and all stems from overpriced purchases that now seemingly is spiralling out of control, and the bigger worry here is most complaints seem to get brushed off with automated email and then very little action being taken. Not even an action being sent to us on how they propose on stopping this for good. Pass sharing and account selling is a joke, this new cheap account approach will end this game, GGE cant see its there prices that are causing this, and the people doing it are nothing more than fraudsters and in real life would find themselves in a little 4 walled cell for there troubles. I urge GGE to look at there pricing and actually starting doing something about this cheap account situation, because its not like you cant do anything about it!!!

It really would be a simple fix, if GGE are 100% positive that they are not going to change their currency pricing which would of course be a travisty as changing the pricing its the easiest and most obvious option, and to be honest if they changed UK and US pricing in line with the south american pricing they would probably find sales went through the roof !!!!
GGE should start to monitor known IP addresses from VPN providers. Other digital companies such as netflix etc who have regional pricing are constantly fighting to block these services and its a constant battle of cat and mouse as they ban one another pops up to replace it but at least they try!!!
GGE would actually have a MASSIVE advantage over netflix etc. in that once they found a VPN IP address all they would have to do is see which accounts have been accessed by a known VPN providers server and perma ban any account that has been accessed this way.
A multi million pound company could pretty easily do this it wouldnt even take that much effort, yes the list of know VPN Ip addresses would constantly need updating but if the punishment was instant and perminant ban it would soon stop as long as you were vigilant with the updating of known VPN servers.
This would also pretty much stop multi accounting and multiple users accessing one account, as the VPN also masks this practice.
Not difficult to do and in practice ever single company that uses regional pricing in a online digital platform is extremly vigilant in blocking access from known VPN's the fact GGE does nothing to stop it tells you everything you need to know, they are not bothered.
the solution is there, get a list of all known current VPN IP Addresses, and ban any account that have been acessed this way. Then reduce the prices of all currencies to be in line with the cheapest currency currently out there. And it would be a different game, a massivly different game.

It’s the amulet version.
