It is with regret that I feel GGE have forced me out of this Great Game with their never ending updates to INCREASE war between alliances AND their REVENUE. You will likely have heard this from other departing players - LEAVE THE GAME WAR SIDE OF THINGS ALONE - yes bring in new events BUT stop pushing players from the game.....Real Life DOES NOT allow many to be online the time this GAME requires NOR can many AFFORD the cost in game of WAR......IF you want more wars, REDUCE the COST of tools and TROOPS to ENABLE more to PARTICIPATE.
AS for GGE allowing constant breaches of their rules.....Multi accounting/Password Sharing This is RIFE on All servers. Yet even when you have been advised "families" share an internet connection creating a 1 IP address for multiple accounts YOU are PROMPT to slam a "SUSPENSION" on them.....However those that can afford MULTIPLE Dongles for Wireless/Mobile Broadband services CONTINUALLY FLAUNT this rule....
IT is known that SOME alliances have EXTORTED funds from other players by having them use a players login & Password to buy RUBIES for that player......This can be identified by various Credit Cards being used on the same account.
GGE GROW A BRAIN and STOP meddling with the BETTER functions of this Game......AND FIX THE DAMN BUGS that you haven't yet.
When was the last update that came through that DIDN'T require an additional outage to FIX? I've been playing nearly 2 years and only the MINOR updates seem to have no issues. ALL the MAJOR ones require additional fixes......After this long in development and the number of updates put through this is TOTALLY ABHORRENT CUSTOMER SERVICE along with the LACK OF RESPECT GGE shows the community.
Empire is a HIGHLY ADDICTIVE GAME and the players are the major part of the enjoyment GAINED yet ALL GGE think about is PROFIT......The Auto WAR function was a total Fiasco as was the handling of the ADDITIONAL METRO's.......
SO LONG GGE You will NOT get another cent from me for any of your games in future. I also URGE all PLAYERS to CONSIDER a BOYCOTT of ALL GGE online games till they UNDERSTAND THEIR CUSTOMERS.
GGE HAVE FORCE MY HAND IN LEAVING THIS GAME AS THEY HAVE MANY BEFORE ME. IT IS BOUND TO HAPPEN AGAIN IN FUTURE AS GGE have only their OWN INTERESTS in mind.
A WELL KNOWN FACT IS THAT FOR EVERY ONE CUSTOMER THAT TAKES THE TIME TO COMPLAIN THERE ARE AT LEAST TEN (10) WHO WALK WAY WITHOUT A WORD. IF a customer received GREAT customer service they are likely to tell ony 2-3 people......DOUBT THERE ARE MANY PASSING ON FAVOURABLE COMMENTS ABOUT GGE.

According to your join date you are around quite some time, so I do not dismiss this lightly, but how reliable are the sources for this (really strong) accusation?
FYI: I once had an alliance leader who once rewarded a player for outstanding support with rubies. I asked him how he managed to transfer rubies, and he admitted that he didn't really think that through and so ended up asking for the account login of the player he promised the reward and bought him the rubies.
Apparently that all went without a hitch. (I think he did that again another 2 or 3 times more.)
I once had a player I didn't know promising to buy me rubies, of course I declined.
I guess that there are (playing) parents buying rubies for their kids too, so GGS cannot use multiple credit card use as an indicator for extortion. I even guess that most multiple credit card usage is not extortion. So players affected must report this to GGS, we cannot expect GGS trying to identify extortion going on (there would be many false positives, infuriating honest ruby buyers - we have those buggy updates for that :-).
You brought up several more interesting points. I have seen several calls for ruby boycotts in my years here, I take the fact that the game is still running as proof that so far they are not very effective.
Voting with your feet is the ultimate way of showing you are not satisfied, doing it with feedback makes it clear why you stopped. Whether it will help improving the game remains to be seen.
