Topic: [382635] discrimination between F2P and P2P.

[-382635] Pisky (GB1) [GB1] :: July 21, 2021, 8:24 p.m.
Not only does this divide exist since the reduction and deletion within the MB of tools. I also exists because of the withholding of troops available as F2P when mainly fighting FC's and Crows. I personally think that this is made more apparent due to having to complete even more grinding in those events with changes to the algorithym. Of course this will be denied!

The past 4 FC/Crow events I have run out of troops way befor the event ended. Yes there are more! TO PURCHASE!
The reason you exhaust them, grinding low level targets to get lower costs to dethrone, and just get more rubbish, and on and on. You use up your troops on on the low levels and when anything better comes along, you got no troops. Is it as hard for the paying players, I don't think so, lots of buyable loopholes.

To me! just another fence built and paid for by GGE, and put between F2P and P2P, and why F2P have had enough.

Have you tried to recruit troops?

I remember the days of putting a feast on and recruiting Veteran Crossbowmen.. worked perfectly fine then and I'm sure it does now

oh and to add, this was back when red sets were the main commanders.. (but I also did it when relic commanders became more relevant) so the losses would be even more higher than they are now, and I still managed to do well in events when I pushed for it.

Yep!, and I can't make them fast enough to burn on the Grindstone of crows.

Yep! so do I. Same answer as above. I also dont have ops to free up for food for feast, as they would be taken, by you know who!

Yep I still got some of them, and had them set not too long ago, In fact still have the occasional ones set for costs and speed!.  I have posted prior about seemingly drop in relic quality com's and casts, given out as quest items and low prizes. I see that as a result of GGE putting the best ones on for sale only, just to keep to low levels low, and keep the divide.
I have 130k of relic shards at present showing the rubbish relic stuff I have got rid of, and I could still get rid of more. Its getting to the stage that we are playing against loaded dice, or playing chase the lady, or find the pea, against the street hussler. You know you shouldn't play it, and you can't win, but you still do it.
We all still know about the grind, but at the level it is now, and what GGE have done with the MB and other options of availabiltiy, even that isn't working, so the enjoyment has gone, the fun has gone, many players have gone, the game is stagnating.

Oh! nice double teaming lads/lasses

I also recall just using recruited troops to hit my foreign castles back in the day. Commanders have gotten stronger, recruitment times have gotten shorten, and like you all like to point out so often, the foreign castles haven't changed.
I don't see how one could run out of troops now, but that's just me I guess...

Maybe you should address your op issue first  unless you plan on living with Main castle only

Sorry but you must be mixing me with someone else!  I have said all along that FC & Crow castle numbers have got worse, the algorithm have got worse, FC & Crows used to attack you, I havn't seen any shorter recruitment times on my level, so someone must be having a memory lapse. The numbers of players that have posted on this forum how they think these 2 event have changed are high, very high, so why you persist in saying they havn't changed is beyond me. So many wrong, but a couple right, sums don't add up.
Ive run out of troops by following your advice and grinding, and grinding, or was the advice wrong. The algorithm for the Exile button must have been changed whatever  GGE say (GGE will never admit that something has been changed for the worse, so please don't insult my intelegance.) Its got so bad that my meagre cache of Khan Medals has depleted, and Ive no intention of using gold and silver pieces, on such a worthless exercise, where you actually pay more for extra goes after you lose, just to get even worse numbers, thats rigged, which ever way you want to say it. GGE's answer is, well you dont have to use it, so you burn up even more troops on the grind.
Mods I'm sorry support GGE and their direction, are high level ruby players who are not in the position that players like me are, so your advice isn't really sound or practical, to keep players in the game.

Try reading the posts, and find the reasons that my op's went, and why it is a pointless exerise replacing them. You will also see why I play as main only, as I may add do an awfull lot of players, maybe you should ask them as well. I've no intention of setting up a farming network for others to enjoy, so thats your choice. I hope you never find out why people ditch Op's.

Oh ive read the posts  its not wise to annoy the big players

I believe in telling the truth as it is, this time however they attacked me for being someone I'm not, and they didn't like being told that they were wrong, but I don't hide in holes or behind alliances either, they don't like the light shone on them.
