letter of frustration to admin?
•
by screamingslave
hello. i have played for almost 3 years. in that time i have spent what for me is a significant sum, both because i enjoyed the product and wanted to support it, but also to get ahead.
today i wanted to tell you about why i stopped supporting (many months ago) the game and may leave it.
over my play period i've noticed the skill and strategy have been removed. where once i earned my living expertly managing companies in a diverse market now i find myself plodding through mindlessly clicking 'produce' for 40 companies in only 2 sectors that only i work for.
this has become much less fun.
once i enjoyed trying to make myself known in political circles. now i log in every day to a media filled with accusations that everybody is a national threat/ptoer and if you are not on the A list you dont get to participate.
my solutions are few. i see many great ideas in the media that might help.
1. economy. please bring back diversity of companies. there is no reason not to have ticket companies. also defensive structures could offer the purchasing country a % bonus to fights, building them in specific regions could once again add strategy to the game on the military side.
2. politics. party loyalty. this system would not allow you to vote unless you were a member during last election of that type. this would help slow the constant 'take overs' both real and imagined.
3. please find some way to return value to my investment. perhapse my biggest upset right now is the sense of betreyal in terms of spending real money to build up companies only to have the value of that cut over 60%
these are the kinds of things which are leading to not only me holding back on future purchases but also considering changing to a different game.
i recently read an interview with erep staff suggesting concerns be voiced through a ticket so i'm giving it a try.
thanks for your time.

i would have also added a point about workers only being profitable for q5 (barely) and q6 companies and a mechanic being devised that allows some way of balancing for lower q companies without punishing the worker but there is a character limit on tickets.
Well said Slave. What I liked best about your article is that it was full of logical arguments backed up by feasible solutions with only a mild dash of complaining.
I am glad I am subbed to your paper...you don't write often, but when you do I know it will be worth reading.
Votado!
I'm in the same boat. admins sucked all the soul out of every aspect of this game.
lol I was always one of your 37 subscribers good read.
A new subscriber here. Well said.
Return on investment for land is crap now. It will take 576 days to make your money back on a Grain Farm in eAus (2 food bonus) and 382 days to make your money back on a cattle farm.
That should cut down on the raw supply.
Company profit has not changed much in money since the cost of raw is so low.
Pre bot drop - Q1 weapon sells for 6.60 - 3.30 (10 raw at .33) = profit of 3.30 each
Today - Q1 weapon sells for 4.20 - 1.00 (10 raw at .1) = profit of 3.20 each.
get back Q5 homes!
I can't wait until RM hits 0.01, at least then there will be no more undercutting 😛
You've been a bro of mine since I joined this game. And your sentiments are the same as my own.

larsonman because currency is plentiful its typically easier to build up raw companies particularly when raw was 60% higher. so i have a diverse portfolio of companies. i am raw self sufficient. as they go down in value so too does my profit.
absolutely i would not buy raw company now but there is no reason to just dump them and loose half their purchase price.
correction. when raw was 300% higher.
V+S for the sensible arguments. Unfortunately you are wasting your energy. There's no incentive to bring back the interesting features if they make more money now compared to back then (which they do).
Farmville type of games seem to do well so don't expect any change anytime soon.

Another pointless article...everyone knows that Plato doesn't read or listen,,,
