Topic: [305983] 3 things that u need to become the best player of gge

[-305983] great lord (IN1) [None] :: April 19, 2016, 1:52 p.m.
hi friends u all must be wondering those three things that can help u to be the best player of ur server
so here those three things are

1.rubies
2.rubies
3.rubies
obviously for rubies u need money :tongue:
i played this game for a month or more
and experienced that for becoming a best player of gge u need rubies ..lots of rubies

what a ruby player can  do
1. he can win an event in his grp easily without much effort
2 if  a non ruby player challenge a ruby player for one on one battle ..the ruby player can win it easily :smiley:
for eg by buying fc nomads and samurai bonus
3 he can also get good equips easily with 20 or 16 technician applied ..which takes years for a non ruby player to do
4.he can build special buildings like stables bakery and WT at max lvl which takes a year for a non ruby player to do
and much more things

all this saying that i am doing a one on one battle with a player and unluckily found him to be a ruby player :disappointed:
always he do attack with star spangled soldiers with ruby tools and burn my mc in all kingdoms and when i do attacks on him he do open gates :disappointed:
it is very tough for me to do open gates now as i cost lots of rubies
my example will clearly sow u the power of ruby player over a non ruby player :disappointed:

overall i can say that a ruby player can destroy ur work of year within a month :smiley: 


happy gaming to u all
advice ... never fight with a ruby player

I agree with most of that apart from the bit about can win an event without much effort.  Yes it makes it massivly easier, to get a hugely higher score using boosters.  However if you take an example from our server a player called mikeshot normally wins the FI event, amongst others, but if you also check out the spring event he normally wins that, the spring event is a pretty good indicator of activity aswell as ruby spend, which means to win that event as well as large ruby spend he will be hitting many hundreds of castles over the event.  So yes whilst ruby spend makes it possible to win, and I would go as far to say its impossible to win without ruby spend, it doesnt necessarily make it possible without any effort.  To achieve the scores they do its still probably a 12 hr a day commitment. at least, i ouldnt class that as little effort, its still a huge effort to win.  Although of course i guess it depends on how many big ruby players there are on your server / group.

You should distinguish between ruby whales and the average ruby players.

I do not consider myself to be a ruby player, only purchased rubies once, and am able to compete with the average ruby buyer. The sole reason, they do not have the budget to buy armies, supercomms, and a shitload of tools as well. Moreover, opening gates time and time again will hurt them and they cannot burn through their tools like the whales can. Ofcourse they have an advantage, but by putting in effort (and a lot of time) you can compete with them. 

Moreover, to be honest getting good equipment is really easy nowadays. The spring-event, storm islands, bladecoast, thornking, samoerai and nomads all give good equipment and can be obtained by the non-ruby player as well. There are a lot of combinations available where it isn't necessary to max these pieces as well. For example: https://gyazo.com/f8da98eb29f2eb3e9f466ce98eac4515 when you upgrade those pieces (thornking, nomads and bladecoast) to level 13 you will have a decent 90/90 commander.

Ruby whales, however, play on a whole other level and the average ruby buyer can't even compete with them.

The problem is worse now, because it used to be no an f2p could achieve the same amount as a p2p, just in a longer amount of time and more commitment, but now the barrier is so big, and with the new elemental, that is now impossible.

time is easily managable if u have rubies
if u spend 2 to 3 hrs a day u can easily get to  a legendary level 200 or 300 in just 8 months
as u can see with ruby tools ur army travel much faster as compared to non ruby tools
also ruby tools has better effect as compared to non ruby tools in defense as well as in attack
what i had seen in this one month the whole game is just money game te more money y spend the better  u become
tools , equips(with technician plus 14 ) , ruby buildings , PO, XP , powerfull soldiers ,and even resources  kingdom as well as castle resources all u can manage by rubies now :smiley:

maybe after sometime gge will manage accounts with rubies
lvl 20 account 20.000 rubies
lvl 30 account 40,000 rubies
lvl 40 account 60,000 rubies
lvl 50 account  150,000 rubies
and so on :lol: 
an avg ruby player can manage stables lvl2 ,bakery lvl5 ,watchtower lvl 3 , drill ground lvl 1 , military hospital lvl5
in all kingdoms food overseer and maurderer ,open gates in war time
but for a non ruby player it is impossible to do this unless e spends 5 hrs a day

not only this ruby player also top in events with similar effort of a non ruby player which help him in getting more good equips

what i observed is
a skilled powerful  ruby player can be equal to 7 non ruby player at same level
 
a skilled powerful  ruby player is equal to 3 average ruby players at same level

this is no less than a money game after all :smiley: 

also a ruby player gets  good allies :tongue:

By no means is buying rubies the only way to excel.Specially on IN1 since it is a fairly small server.

I started out at the beginning of this year. Made one initial ruby purchase for bakeries and stables. Then came in the effort. Without burning through tools or rubies like the whales, I won every event, every NC for the first 2 months.

By then, I managed to reach Level 70 and since, then, it's been slightly more difficult to win the events. Competing FL with 5 wavers and 6 wavers is a difficult proposition since they get more glory for the same target sizes. Competing in Nomads, Samurai and other similar events is comparatively easier. Instead of going all out on all events, I have started doing alternate events since that gives me time to restock on tools.

All said, specially on the server we play on, it is rather easy for non-ruby players to survive. IN1 does not have any HUGE ruby whales and all the regular ruby buyers are, at most, average spenders comparing to other servers. As many as 85% of the top players are either rare spenders or completely non-ruby.

Hence, your 3 most important things in the game -

1.rubies
2.rubies
3.rubies
do not hold good, more so, on the server we play on.

so lets say that a ruby whale with the GDP of CFC(muli-million dollar gaming corporate in eve online) comes in, and because you put skill and time into they cannot win.  lol in this rubies bet everything except maybe numbers and friends
