Can anyone side with the admins?

Well I can see that everyone is hating this new training guide because it is so UNFAIR! REALLY? So why do I have to pay 5g for 200% when others have to pay only 1.8g for 200%? so UNFAIR? REALLY?
Get the Facts Straight:
There is a reason for everyone having different kinds of training guides and amount and percents. The reason behind this whole this is that is just a trial period for the admins to figure out which way will best benefit them and the erep community. The numbers aren't going to stay the same for everyone for as long as this game is being played.
Please read this link about the admins newspaper with all the details of why they have certain things in certain ways.
Quoted directly from the Admins Newspaper:
"Now we are entering a 7 days split-test. What is this? It's a test period that we will use to analyze several variables of the concept, so that we come up with the final version that offers you the best experience. During this period some of you will only see Lana and one personal trainer, while others will see Lana and more personal trainers, as well as some other differences."
This game is a "PRODUCT", not a free community:
The admins are trying to find new ways to advance the game and help new and old players and they are also trying to make more money themselves because if it weren't for people paying to play this game to get ahead then there would be no admins and no game to play. This game is 100% a product and people need to realize that. This game is considered a free community but there can't be a free community if the admins aren't making any money.
How many people would really work hard on making an online game that takes hours and hours of work if you won't make a dime off of it? Honestly, no one would. Yes this will benefit the countries that have money and are willing to spend hundreds of dollars but the admins see that if they can give more benefits to those players than maybe they will spend more money to make themselves stronger which in return, make the admins more money.
I can't afford 200% a day. NO FAIR!!:
For all of you who are saying, I can't afford 200% training everyday because I don't have the money, this is so UNFAIR. Admins need to make it cheaper so everyone can get. Really people? There would be absolutely no reason to have an extra bonus of 50%, 100%, or even 200% if EVERYONE could buy it EVERY DAY. They would have completely wasted their whole time and effort for this module if getting 200% is as easy for a poor citizen as it is for a CEO of the most profitable Organization.
Now for all you older players:
Well sorry to say but this module, which will be implemented, will screw over some older players that have been playing this game for a long time if they don't pay to get higher training. This module helps the rich and especially helps them because the admins want money and the older players that don't pay, don't really help them in any way but keeping the game going with more intelligent old players. The countries that can't pay will probably go down on the food chain but the admins don't care that you will lose if they are making more money than they were before.
Calm down:
If any of you even read the admins newspaper, the thing said it was a trial period and that people would have different things in the training grounds. They aren't even done with this new module so people just need to take a chill pill and relax and let them do their job like they have been doing for a long time now.
Does it suck for me too?
Yes it does suck for me because I don't and won't pay to get my strength up. I'm not complaining though because I realize the realization behind this whole module and being a business major, I can see that sometimes you have to do stuff against the general public if you are able to make money and that it is possible to be a good idea in the future after everything passes. This sounds like a dick move but they HAVE to make money like anyone else and making more money might help them our in real life. I know some of you may think that the admins are robots and they don't need to pay for bills and food and a house but they are real life people and they need money just as much as anyone else.
Most of you will disagree with everything I wrote but take consideration into what I have said and just relax for a couple day and let things pan out. There is no reason to get so built up about this module when it's just a game.
Comments
I agree with you. I don't really give a damn about the new module. I will not go shouting Goodbye Erep and such
Vote
Its going to make rich people advance and poor people lag behind.
We are going to lose instead of new players, old players that can't afford to keep up with the rising tide.

xAbrax, that article is stupid. I'm sorry you wasted your life making stupid pictures to think you're funny. sorry dude.
The best thing about this game is that you have small countries in real life make greate thinks in eRepublik.
They have more people, they have greate colonies, they have strong economies, they are motiveted to play, and they CANT buy egold
How meny people from Romania, Indonesia, Serbia, Russia, Iran will be able to buy egold - none!
How meny people from USA, Canada, GB, France, Spain ... will be able to buy gold - almost all, at least once or a few times
Countries will pick a few best players and give them gold to make them tanks and what about rest of us?
Can you as regular player compite with your goverment in buying wellnes packs, strenght, wepons, gold - no!
So if you are not in the chosen few - why play, you will never catch up!

" Can anyone side with the admins?"
NOBODY!
If this is implemented the number of citizens will go from about 250 000 as it is now to about 10 000 kids with their parents credit cards.
Your article is very well written, however, I still disagree.
Yes, the game is a product, so is craiglist, facebook, and pretty much everything else. HOWEVER, there are ways to make money without screwing older players by letter newer players become super soldiers without putting the time and effort this game requieres.
It's like everything in life, should Michael Phelps get a medal without swimming? Other than Obama who got the Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing, most people have to do something to earn something. And doing something does not mean paying the administrators 1 gold!
Anyway, y'all invited to read and vote on my article which is about this topic.

New players will never catch up to older players if both pay the difference between them will always remain the same. I don't know where people are getting the idea that newer players will "Catch up".
Both aren't going to be paying tho. There are a lot of older players that have never paid a penny to play and if new players pay a lot of money and are able to train 200% a day, they will grow stronger faster and become better sooner.
all about the money , they wants more income only.
I agree with you. The pay-for-training should improve the game, and it should only get better as the game's engineers add ever more Gold-for-Glory type features.

No I can't side with them - why? It's just not fair and unbalancing the game. Nobody has a problem with certain features, that you pay for... but most of the people are upset about doubling your strengthgain per day just by paying. And instead of trying to calm down the situation they ban citizens for being critical...
They just want to get more juice out of the orange, nothing more. There is no real progress in this game, it's still a 10-click-per-day game with many bugs, bad support and no balance. But hey, they've earned the money...
It's supposed to be like real life right? In real life the people with money get to do things that people without money can't. As you earn gold you can spend it on training or you can buy gold and spend it. It's your choice, the game doesn't run for nothing so the admins have to have ways to make a buck or the game shuts down..simple as that.
