Why William Thomas Riker's Data is wrong about TP Medals
•
by Releasethe Krakken
WTR seems to me to publish articles that is not very well researched or thought out.
TP Medals - lets assume he is right and that the cost of TP medals is more than the value
So cost he puts at 59 Q7 wEPS
For arguments sake we can say Ok perhaps this is true so cost =- 1700 reward 1000 cc
But he leaves one important factor out of the equation . One does not need to use Q7 weps to earn a TP Medal.
Ok to be honest I was at about the 50 million mark so halfway.
Using 4500 energy with bare fist i got to
46 million +- 5 million to go for my 1000.
I use exclusively Q1 Food that I produce myself
Food cost would be 2250 *0.20 = 450
But for me, it cost me zero as I produce it myself. So I guess I could say I would gain 100 cc at the end. Sure .
That is still a profit. Yes not much but it is there. In science one proof that disproofs you is enough.
Furthermore that 59 Q7 weps I also produce myself. Sure we should always weigh everything on the market but I do think using different equations I will disproof him time and again.
2 he forgets an important other consideration
GRAVY
Using Q7 weps I would have made more damage. Making more damage would have gained me a BH medal and 5 gold. Therefore for my 59 Q7 weps I would have gotten a further 2000 cc in gold therefore bringing my final equation to
3000 cc(reward) > 1700 (cost)

try all this like 90% of normal players do... almost no factories, no packs, no gold buy... 😉
why? everyone has the option to either buy or not buy packs. its a strategy just like strength training is a strategy
thats true.. but its also true that all thoose packs and stash-es destroyed the game.. one or two limited packs were enough to maintain game stability..
90% i guess with multies and such but of truly active players what is the number
Just an observation.... but wouldnt this be better if it was published in whatever country William Thomas Riker wrote his article in?
While I only skimmed the article, it appears as a counter argument to what ever he wrote, so for a proper debate (or for him to even know that you wrote something or so the readers here actually know what your responding too), it would be better to be published in the same countries feed as his article....
i posted the link on a group thread he created . he did respond below.
I'm interested to see a counter argument but, after calling him out on a weak argument, I must say this is in comparison an extremely weak argument. I don't think not using Q7 us realistic of the majority of skilling players past almost total noob level; In fact every guide I'm aware of would advise against doing so.
Whilst I don't agree with his proposal for 'improvement' it's an interesting line of thought, I don't feel this really adds to it. I say this because I'd rather you re-work it and put more time in, than just taking others suggestions of reposting to get more attention.
that is covered in the point gravy. tp medals are just gravy on normally bh medals. so his argument totally fall flats if you take into consideration the bigger picture. but i proposed an alternative model whereby he can still get tp medals with q6 weps it probably would be most cost effective we will run it throughout all his scenaris
It doesn't seem you argument is a fail, that is a fact. Like in your last article, you either haven't read my entire article, or you don't understand English.
The article was analyzing situation of majority of players who can almost never get a BH, unless they spend 200 EBs or more. They don't have your Strength nor you Military Rank. So your argument is invalid.
Furthermore, I can notice on your screenshot you have 3680 Energy. I have Q-Q4 Houses, and I have less than 1000. So guess how much to others have, when most of the players are in worse situation than me and can't afford a Q3 house.
Again, read the article carefully. It's about ordinary players, not a minority like you.
well about 2 - 3 years back my strength was at 24000 many players was then on 130000 where i am now. i then completed my tg upgrades and is about 70000 behind the top strength players. i do buy 2 packs now at a cost of 420000 per month and buy power pack with my credit card. everything i have accomplished is by grafting. in all online games there is a strata between buying and non buying players and a better gaming experience if you support them financially. as pointed out i grafted for years to get this successful and have my income and strength. its an option available to all players just as buying packs is also one. Also the player
perhaps you dont understand life yet. kid. tell me what is fun about being poor. how many business opportunities a person of moderate income has. what must he sacrtifice to survive with his pay. if i pay for energy? shouldnt it give me an advantage over you. most serious players buy power pack and blitzkrieg pack. so if you dont ,adjust your game according to your abilities. cant make a tp with q7's - dont and stop complainin about it.
Food costs though, and is taxed to gov.
So much wrong with the way you went about this I can't be arsed to even start.
I am a weak player, and WTR's argument is right, for most players, even for stronger ones than me BH and TP aren't profitable. However he made this as an argument in general against training wars. In fact even I need training wars because of the FF medal.
well we all start with 0 strength. and 0 cc and we can all buy packs. im certain you can afford them. and if you cant it takes you a few more days to get there. where there a clause with erep that guaranteed that you would be on the same level within a month as a player that played for 5 or so years. you can always buy factories and build up an empire. would take you years but then again . that was what i was willing to do so dont see the point really. because you and wtr dont want to put any effort in the game its crap?
I don't think the game is crap, but I wouldn't put more effort in it. I'm okay with the game in general, but it would be better if it could attract new people.
if you checked his stats he calculated according to a certain strength but with no energy?
