Game or Business?
Revolucioner903
I have played many online strategy games so far, and common thing about all of them is that they demand from the players to involve some skills in order to progress in the game. Of course some of them offer the players to pay for some advantages in game, but usually it’s only a minor advantages.
But in this “strategy” game, that’s not a case at all. Hire it’s doesn’t matter at all if you are good company manager, good journalist or you have any other skills, no matter how good you are, if you don’t pay, your progress in this game will be minimal.
So basically we are competing for who will pay more. The “best” player in this game is the one that have purchased the most gold. So what kind of competition this is, what kind of sport this is?
Instead of improving this game by making the skills involved important for progressing in this game, the admins are doing exactly the opposite in order to get even more profit. They intervene on the markets and on the monetary markets in every country, and by that they constantly devalue the national currency, making getting gold ingame harder than ever.
The censure is yet another issue in this game. If you say something about not buying gold your article will be instantly removed, but the articles full of racism and nationalism easily get to top 5 international and they never get removed. Well I guess that fits in the admins plans for making more profit as the racist and nationalist tension sells the gold.
So my final question is:
Are we, the players, just sheep that are sheared by the admin?

Nobody forces you to play this game. If you don't like how it works right now, you can Log out any time : )
Now, i'm not protecting the admins or anything, but they made the game and buy the servers so they can earn money. We simply can't blame them for that.. And there is no other game or site that is not made for profit. Its how the world works.

So you find it interesting competing with Romper or some other tank, who will pay more. Ok keep it up, I have far more better ways to spend my money.
you are so right

we are not against the admins earn money, we have no problem with that.
but we are against HOW admins earn their money!
fak yeah VOTE !!!
I think the admins should change their strategy, change the target customers.. In my opinion, they'd make more money if the game is balanced so that even the ordinary player would have a roll in it.
That way, they have a vast number of potential customers, which combined will bring admin more revenue therefor more profit - the main purpose of every business.

hey, you don't need to pay to be good, you don't have to make millions of dmg. every day to be someone..
There are lots of players, who are very influential without making influence in battles. Strumjanin is a great example here. But if you desier to be a tank so much, you can make enough gold to do it without paying one euro.. Yeah, it's harder, but thats how it is in life. Andi think it would be more interesting this way : )

you are right.
but money rules!!!
Absolutely right..
@r0yaLe
Damn right it will be more interesting if we have to earn the gold by playing this game.
I have to put a lot of effort in this game just to earn 1 gold, and some one without putting any effort in this game can buy unlimited gold and can do trillions of damage.
So what will motivate me to play this game, when I put countless of hours effort and I can't even earn enough gold to train with busters every day, and on the other hand someone with no effort at all in this game, will buy thousands of gold in a matter of minutes.
ADMINS ARE MORE AND MORE GREEDY AND ONE DAY THEY WILL PAY FOR THAT BECAUSE THIS "BUSNISS" WILL GO DOWN AND THEY WONT GET A PENNY AFTER THAT ! IM WAITING FOR THAT DAY TO SEE ADMINS WHAT THEY WILL DO , AND TO SEE there crying 😃
sorry for caps 😃
royale more intresting ? ofc , if u are one of that guys who are wasting there irl money for some stupid game , not wasting a little money , wasting the whole irl money for one game ! like romper and bogdan adamutz !
EDEN p(l)ayers to admin > ONE is cheating a**, we lost every battle everytime, i won't buy any gold if u don't do something about it...
admin to EDEN p(l)ayers > i'm sorry we are not competent enough to do that, hmmm, but how about we making u special offer, 1 euro for 50 gold?
EDEN p(l)ayers > sounds good...

i understand both views
there is no reason for quarrelling. to become strong in this game is very nice. but i think the social contacts are most important. i don`t pay so much attention anymore who is strong or not. because of this it doesn`matter for me if there is a limit of buying gold or not.
Kind regads...

nice article dicussing the real issues lying under the game, but both sides have their own rights. You will never play a game without gain in terms of profit to the owner but there could be a limitation of buying gold for example at least trying to be fair among the users.
