I just want it to be out there..
🙂
So.. its almost 30 days after the new TEST pack was introduced.. and I've seen more players quit this month, than this whole year..
I WONDER WHY.... Do you wonder why Admins? DO YOU?
Reasons why Maverick Pack is goo

- more money for Plato

Reasons why Maverick Pack is ba
😛
- Shows that Admins DON'T CARE ABOUT NEW PLAYERS.
- Taking away years and years of hard work and spent time day and night, from the lower divisions, in a glimpse. Everything they have built, can now be crushed by the D4 Legends XI and counting...
- Favorizing VISA players over regular players-community.
- the Division system is even more than ever, compromised.
- regular players from their original divisions that because of certain reasons can\t or simply don't want to buy the new pack, won't be "privileged" enough to move around divisions.
Example: as I am writing this article, there is an epic in D3, made by D4 players.
Now, since I don't have the new pack, I can't fight in the Epic. Only D3, and certain people that have that pack, can.
So I guess that means I can forget about EPICS in D4, because in lower divisions its cheaper for them.. But, if you don't do immense ammount of damage, doesn't the "epic" word lose meaning?
Without epics and packs, I need at least 2 days to reach the 500pp milestone, for +10 recovery (Yeah, that is my goal ever week.. Welcome to the regular mortal world of eRepublik).
The game is constantly and continuously forcing payments on its players, and favorizing the Visa players, over the community. This game went from a free game (in true meaning of the word), to a
PAY-TO-PLAY game.
If you don't pay and buy packs, then you literally can't play.. just waste your time..
The rest of the article was subject to my suspension so I will not include it, since the message was not received, and Maverick Pack is here again...
Regards,

I'll pay for your article instead.
This is fucked up. We need either a reset or a new server without divisions
A huge bunch of players is finding that reset in new similar games... ADMINS need to realize, while this game is getting down the others are rising
I doubt anyone would like to start all over again from zero..
A more clever way of making a division system could solve the issue.
But, the only problem is.. that would be for FREE!!
I assume they were thinking like: "Why make it for free, when we can make them buy another pack for Euros?"
simple as that. 🙂

reasons why maverick pack is a good idea: d1 player with 130k strenght legend rank. nuff said
also: how does company dare to sell a product customers want to buy
D1 legends are a result of another bad decision from Plato called IK... and IK is a result of another bad decision by Plato called "Divisions".
When i started, i remember that new players in D1 used to get BH bare-handed with 4-5k strength, but the more i added strength, the more they added, and they would farm more and more and more, and would keep progressing over divs but eventually they would be in D4.
Then with IK they would not progress and would sit idle on lower divs farming, just because the main flaw of the system is that a new player will NEVER be able to catch an older player, no matter what the hell he does, and untill that is fixed... Plato may do whatever the hell he wants, this system is unfair because the base of it is unfair.

So True!

You got it all wrong - let me teach you the way of Pato.
The Division mechanic is very good idea, but it has certain shortcomings. In time they became more apparent and it was decided to add new pack, which would fix them - the IK.
The IK is very good pack, but it has certain shortcomings. In time they became more apparent and it was decided to add new pack, which would fix them - the maverick.
The MP is very good pack, but it has certain shortcomings. In time they became more apparent and it was decided to add new pack, which would fix them - the FUTURE.
In conclusion, Pato is constantly patching the battles with patches and by some unknown way it has something to do with regular payments... but that is not important right?
(I hope the reader got the sarcasm)
* is patching the battles with packs
Not true.
Epic battles in d4 were already absent.
You need to do too much damage to have d4 epic.
It's plato the one who killed epic in d4, not MP
yep i stopped looking for epics in D4 a long time ago on most days didnt even bother to fight. atleast with maverick i fight more.

I agree with what you wrote except the epic battles.
If you (all d4 players) want epic battles, just try to make them. But no, you prefer to wait for the bigger tanks to burn tons of energy bars to do the job for you. And you all just sit and wait until it is epic so that you can start fighting. Like all smarta$$es do....
I agree, but i want to add that a epic battle is not what we have now nor what we had before. A epic battle is a extremely important strategic battle. Since this game dont have strategy, dont have epic.
Yes but they don't want epics for strategy but for more prestige points. Ofcourse that's not bad. The bad thing is that they wait for other players to make epics for them..
I am a D4 and of course i take advantage when i see a epic battle to take double PP. I think that it s normal that if plato put some stupid rules, players use these rules to get profit. If one of these stupid rules is that hitting a lot with nonsense in a battle without any strategic importance awards you with double PP, you do. The bad point is the rule itself, its not that the players try to take advantage of it.

Fuck you plato indeed

Selling packs

Maverick pack gave me new opportunities.
For 15€ I can enjoy the game throughout the whole month and make lots of friends.
Long live the Maverick pack!
Thank you for thinking about me Plato.
Divisions are a crappy system to it's core, imho. The real problem is not the MP, or any other pack, but the fact that people are blind enough to see that what's killing the game is the lack of new players. And why new players are leaving? Because they have to face people in D1 that got more strength than people in D4. As long as Divisions are sorted out based on Strength, and not on damage/hit, this is what we will be facing. And any pack, might be a short term solution, sometimes, which is not the case with MP, but they are just a cure for the symptoms, not for the illness itself.
Or so I think.
Very good article 😃

Well in that case Plato must remove IK too!!! Because what chance one new player have vs someone like TugAvenger in D1? But if Plato remove IK to be really fear to new players... all tanks in D1-D3 again will be unhappy.
Just Plato needs to change divisons.To not depend by level, but by strength or even better by influence per hit! Else no matter what Plato is doing it wont be fear to new players.

If you're not big on the general workings of capitalism (i.e a company has a product for sale, you can either buy it or not buy it...), I hear North Korea is accepting willing workers.

Remove IK, because it's not fair for new player to fight against D1 player with STR 120k++.
Remove MP, because it's not fair for lower division player to fight with stronger D4 player that do not care about increasing experience points.
Other packages are okay, but IK and MP really kill the game.
