I know that a lot of people want rubies but don't want to spend money to buy it and people who do have an unfair advantage. I got this from another game but maybe there can be occasional special events where we can win some free rubies, not to much but enough to give some people some slight advantages, and the ways to win them shouldn't depend on level and army.

I am a ruby user my self and I totally agree that I have an unfair advantage.
Got ruby fuelled armies
ruby fuelled alliance
Lots of things powered by rubies. I can Hire shadow mercanaries to weaken an enemy before I strike.
I can buy coins from the travelling merchant and destroy people 10 lvls higher than I.
To easy...

Thats why we should have occasional events to support non ruby players and help them put up some better defenses against people like Abse

I think this is good because I'm a non-ruby buyer myself and I barely get any I only have 3 right now.

Well this is never gonna happen of course... And you can collect some rubies through fighting Robber barons and completing quests.
What I'd like to see is that they make the ruby buildings also available to non-ruby players. This can be with a huge disadvantage to non-ruby players.
For example to build a lvl 1 bakery instead of paying 1250 rubies and waiting 2 hours. Non-ruby players could build that for 50.000 stone and 50.000 wood and 50 hours building time. The level 2 bakery for 100.000 stone and 100.000 wood and 100 hours building time (some other paying method is needed for that because storages are too small) and so on...
I know the numbers sound insane, but at least the building is available for non-ruby players and I don't think that for these amounts of resources ruby-players will become non-ruby players.

t0rn4d0's idea's definitely not going to happen, and Purplepancakes idea is good, there should be some way of earning rubies on certain occasions (e.g through competitions). This would be a good way for players who are good at the game but don't buy rubies (not me, I'm thinking of other people) to prove themselves and earn rubies...

And why is it possible to introduce that?

Look, don't take it personally and it's not my opinion (I would want it), but you're idea isn't exactly 'original', it's been posted many times before and it has always been dismissed. If GGS wants to make money so it doesn't fold why would they make their best-selling building available for free? Nobody wants to pay, but if everything was free how would GGS be able get the software to make updates for the game or pay to use vBulletin for their forums?
That's why I agreed to this idea because it's more realistic, there would be few winners (so it's not a massive handout to everyone) and people have to be active and compete to earn them.

Only occasional,
Like once in a month maybe. and only 1000 rubies or less.

There could be something like a ruby buy in, so you could enter some tournament with 10 people in each paying 1 ruby, the winner leaves with 10 rubies.
There could be different pricing so a 100 ruby buy in or a 1000 ruby buy in for ruby players.
I say a ruby buy in because ggs are not going to just give away rubies that easily. I am a ruby player but I don't think up to a 10 ruby buy in cost is excessive for a non ruby player.

I don't know, something must be done. Lol. Or if they are going to maintain the ridiculously unfair advantage that ruby player's have, then there should be a warning beneath their castle name: "Warning this player has invested money into this game and therefore we have made him twenty times more powerful than you." I've spent a little on rubies, not much, just to be supportive. I appreciate their need for revenue in such a large game, but the gap is far too wide. I believe their either need to make it fully free with donations (dear god, imagine how upset all the ruby players would be), or they could charge every single player a base fee...(which they also wouldn't do, because they would lose so many users.

My point is : make ruby buildings and others very very expensive. Make the costs high enough that current ruby players will keep buying rubies, but give non-ruby players at a very very expensive cost the possibility to build the same buildings.
I'm really convinced that they won't lose hardly any ruby-player if the costs are high enough.

everyone can get rubies somehow !!!!!!!! get a little job ( paper round ) or something and get a bank account and put money in to it its not hard if you really want to get rubies you can theres no excuse no matter how old you are!!!!!! im getting sick of people coming on to the forum and complaining about rubies how they are to expensive and shit like that your ruining this forum half the treads are another gay little idea on how people can get free rubies
i had to use my money what i earned to get the perks in this game with rubies so y would anyone else get them for free also the people who moan about rubies remember this its people like me that buy rubies make it even possibly for you to play this game so think before you moan about rubies
