What's your take, will the new rules help or hurt team spirit in 2015
Super Nova
Dear Patriots,
As of January 12, True Patriot, Freedom Fighter, and Mercenary will no longer pay gold. These are the awards where you are helping others without competing against your own team members for BH or CH.
Should we be awarded with gold just for beating our own comrades-in-arms?
Will the cash award be an adequate compensation for True Patriot, Freedom Fighter, and Mercenary to motivate teamwork?
Will it drive the price of gold sky high?
So my question to you, will these new rules help or hurt team spirit in 2015?
Please comment!

o7 will (in fact just the announcement of the change has) made gold prices spike up.
ok
The cash reward will not be an adequate compensation for True Patriot, Freedom Fighter and Mercenary medals. Plato will see to that.
Undecided about whether or not it will drive gold's price high, to be honest
.I don't expect team spirit to be effected in any way though, this is already a very 'Individual based' game, on the battlefields, that relies almost completely on the Pay2Win Model.
I believe with the three medals no longer giving out gold, it will cause an increase in gold possibly back to what it was when I join (1g = ~2,000cc). Just one less source of gold on the site, so prices will increase.
As for spirit, if we're referring to just MUs, then no I do not think it will have any effect. Country-wise though, it will. With many people now calculating when it's worth gaining EXP for fighting, the already current two clickers are going to idle around a lot longer with no real tradeoffs for fighting. Many of us already reserve our full fighting capabilities until there's a medal we want to go after or for a MU tournament, so with the medals rewards not being worth it anymore (I am assuming), the only time for excitement really on the site will be during tournaments.
Not only that, but with the medals no giving out gold anymore is going to make it difficult for newer members to really get ahead. If it wasn't for the TP medal (along with SS and BH), I would still be relaying on the MU to supply my fights with food and weapons.
I think its a horrible trade off
good and bad!

sucks, I've been playing this game for 5 years now going on six, with about a 8 - 10 month layoff, since I
didn't compete as well as others during version 1 and 2 and didn't build up my strength as fast as others when the game became strength based I was at a big disadvantage to win any medals. I'm in division 4 and my strength is way low in regards to rank so since I no longer can get gold for anything except SS and working why should I even play I'm basically a two clicker so I guess it will be pretty easy to go to a zero clicker.
I've been working on increasing my strength so as to be competitive within the division, but i will have no chance to earn gold on bh or ch ever so removing the gold award from those medals will not allow me to ever get any gold in a battle situation
As for team spirit I guess if your in to the game and have strength to compete in your div Team Spirit will not suffer as for me and other like me it suffers.

You are very wise to point out that these medals are the least "competitive" of the bunch.
As individuals, we are not rewarded for defeating the enemy, just for out-doing our own teammates. I consider this to be a major design flaw with the game.

Over the years costs have transitioned from cash to gold, and payouts from gold to cash. This is just a continuation of greater attempts by the ownership to monetize the gameplay.

The gold price should increase dramatically. I think that the biggest reason for this will not be the medal reward change by itself, but the extra damage reiceved by new ranks. +5% rank up bonus is ok, but the freaking extra 10%, which stacks up with other Battalion rank ups, in TP battles is something only Plato could do. Wouldn`t be surprised if TOP tanks by the end of this year will have double the Q7 hit in TP/NE battles they have now, while everyone else can suck it.
I want. my gold

Rabbits have an excellent sense of smell, hearing and vision. They have nearly 360° panoramic vision, allowing them to detect predators from all directions. They can see everything behind them and only have a small blind-spot in front of their nose.
Yet they are tasty and easy to catch with a simple snare. Gotta actually go lay a couple of 'em out today.
Dont eat my brothers and sisters!
changes suck for newer players that take less damage to get to a TP medal.
guess the five things I have done...
