GGE has considerably changed the heart of the game. From attack/defense to an event game. Why?
The only motivation thinkable is to gain more money.
Bu I receive many mails of players that are leaving the game because of the never ending events and no time for a rest. Also it's becoming too expensive if you want to participate in all events.
My prophecy is that this game has died already and it will be a matter of time everybody will quit the game.

You know, you don't HAVE TO participate, you can sit our nomad's/sam's/beri sometimes and only participate in FI, that is why there is only one "Have to" participate event.296player (NL1) said:GGE has considerably changed the heart of the game. From attack/defense to an event game. Why?

And also the worst event. The one that makes you go "uuugh" when you see it for the millionth time and wake up to find you've had foreigners hit you and everybody else in your alliance wasting good tools. The event that ggs runs the most frequently and for the longest duration.Wilson Wang (AU1) said:You know, you don't HAVE TO participate, you can sit our nomad's/sam's/beri sometimes and only participate in FI, that is why there is only one "Have to" participate event.296player (NL1) said:GGE has considerably changed the heart of the game.

yep its been silly for a while, but now!! There is underworld, Spring comp, FI, and Alliance glory comp all running at the same time. Its event overkill. The alliance comp used to be about once every 6 months now its every other week it seems. Total madness. FI, has just been totally flogged to death. This new so called revamp I guess was intended to keep players interest, but for me at least it falls so far short of the mark its unbelievable, all that has happened is that the kit is easier to get now, basically de valuing something players who already have it had to work extremly hard for. Nomads used to be a much loved month long competion now it seems its a 2 day competition, despite assurances it would be longer in the future LOOOL. Another GGE special!
Same with Sams. Basically GGE have changed all the events so its now impossible to accumulate any serious number of tokens without significant ruby spend. All the events duration are determinied purely through profitability not through player enjoyment. The problem is with those cand of analytics (and they do have a place in every company) they leave out one very important factor, thats player enjoyment, Unless you are very very carefull, if you focus all on the bottom line and profitability, you destroy what made the game sucessfull in the first place, its a very fine line to walk and it seems GGE have well and truly crossed that line. The server will continue to decline with players burning out quicker and quicker, eventually you will have a hadfull of players running an alliance full of accounts, spending next to nothing and using all the free event troops collected. to keep getting the event freebies. Its happening right now has been for a while. Short term profiteering at the expense of long term revenues. Very short sighted business plan in my opinion.

All the events is a factor of me leaving the game, is is just endless grinding, there is never not an event to do. I am sick of having to launch the same attacks over and over again for so little. It is boring.
With the sams you get so little tokens without boosters it will take you over 20 events of it to maybe get a full cast.
The endless events have just made the game no longer fun.
And for people who say "don't do the event"
Well I would of been kicked for low loot.

Ok so GGS may have gone a little overboard with the events but it shouldn't make people quit the game. The events provide endless prizes and rewards that makes PvP much easier. If players really wanted to do PvP then, with all the troops they receive, they could.
As for nomads with the bonus tokens alliances get it probably only takes 1 or 2 nomads to get the full cast. The commander takes a bit longer but it's not built so normal players can get it that quickly.
I don't know what minimum looting is for most alliances but it's relatively easy to only hit the odd nomad/sam/beri camp/FL castle and get 2-3mil looting. And if you don't want to then there are plenty of towers to hit. From the reports I've seen these fortress things in outer realms look really good. If you've got to get the loot somehow you might as well hit a nomad camp, it's the easiest way of getting it.
The constant events make it easier for non-ruby players to keep up with the ruby ones. The constant flow of events means non-ruby players have the ability to get lots of ruby troops and good casts and commanders. Although I agree that there should be less events, overall I think they are a good thing to have.

But actual weaker alliance don't have time to gather the rewards on most events. How many prizes can a weak alliance get in 2 days then they face fi's again which needs glory to gain points which big shock is gained in large amount via ruby flags or banners saved from the impossibly short events.Fortis (GB1) said:Carnifex (GB1) said:All the events is a factor of me leaving the game, is is just endless grinding, there is never not an event to do.

The events are just a small part. Just something I wanted to mention.
And yes, unless you are in around the top 20 alliances, doing well in an event is very very hard.

I find them relatively easy when FL actually throws me 1k+ troops if not, then its just a matter of constant grinding which gets boring so I tend to not do FL if I don't get any decent ones after 5 hits
Sammy event + nomad event is really easy for me and beri invasion just annoys me

It's up for debate, really I can't be bothered to argue. Serves no purpose.
Whutever.
Either way all these event choke me, and make me more bored then happy.
Just another way for ggs to roll in the millions

I agree with you, getting the alliance rewards is a big factor in how successful you are in events such as FLs but you can do well personally through nomads, sams and beri as making wooden mantlets is free for everyone to do and men only cost coin and time. Then in the subsequent FLs, if you did well in nomads and bought some horsetails, you can win some very nice personal prizes. However I do agree with the fact that being in a top20 alliance does give a massive advantage.Some guy5 (GB1) said:But actual weaker alliance don't have time to gather the rewards on most events.
