eRep Labs is hungry as hell

Okay, so there have been a few bad decisions in the eRep Labs office in the past 2-3 years. Some were okay, some were good. But I would like to know who would approve a $15 Maverick Pack that would kill the game COMPLETELY?!?!? Is eRep Labs so HUNGRY? Or are they just desperate to the point where decisions and forward vision becomes suicidal?

It isn't karma! Or is it?
Did anyone there (eRep Labs) sit down and think through a long-term plan? Are all MMORPG games doomed to die within 10 years? Well, if that is the case, and the Company has already moved to other games (Tactical Heroes, World at War, Age of Lords, etc.) leaving eRepublik to implode on its own, then WHY LIE? Why LIE here, for example, and say a new module (Aviation) will bring balance to the game. A big disappointment!

How I stopped buying packs
Bad decisions galore. The epics were a good addition it made me personally buy the Power Pack and the Blitzkrieg pack, but then the algorithm was changed and there was NO epic in sight. That made me retire the Assault Pack. I completely stopped buying packs after I found out someone with the help of an admin(s) or exploits is able to vote with other player's accounts. But that is a different story on its own. The voting multies...one of the plagues of the game, preferrentially allowed by admin(s). So that was a sad goodbye to my money, which I'd rather go see an extra movie with, every month.

Then there was the Maverick Pack which put the nail in the coffin. You basically have approximately 300 paying players in the whole game chasing an Epic fight (at the first Division of course) every Tuesday to get their Prestige Points. And that's it! Everyone else is just clicking around. They changed the epic algorithm, then introduced the Maverick Pack so that these paying "customers" are actually FORCED to buy the Maverick Pack. The hilarious part is that now even the Weekly Challenge Prestige bar will be capped at 40K PP. It now becomes competitive above that level, and you won't just sit and collect Energy Bars.

But where is this game going?
It's only going down. It's going down..LIKE A CLOWN!
If you take a look at the statistics for the past few years they are all a big FAT LIE. It looks like we have a list of less than 1,000 unique active (some paying) players interested in eRepublik during peak time. Given a total claimed active player roster at 90,000 please allow me to mention that it looks like at least 90% of the accounts are multies. AT LEAST! I know it's scary, but it seems that's reality folks!

How many players are actually happy in this game?

Does anyone have a historical earnings release? cuz eRepublik the game must be in the negative, at a loss, year after year. I wonder how the other games are doing. U makin' money Mr. Bonte? Not from me. Not anymore. See above why!
