I agree. Wow, this seems like colonial times. The people will not do anything about it. So Woody is right. Stop whining about medals and try your best. you know a saying, "Do your best on the test"!

They did answer.
It was in this thread or the other, they said that the drop rates were working as intended and would not be changed.
What they wouldn't say is what they were intended to be.
I would like them to tell us if working as intended meant 100 years to get max cities.
Devek take a look at the stastics on your server I m sure you will see many people with max cities. How did they get there? If you answered that they bought medal boxes then you have answered your own question.
The medal drop rate is obviously set low to encourage you to spend real money. Personally I think they have been quite astute where they have set it. They let you get into the game easily build up your first two cities invest some time and effort so you are hooked on the game then they try to milk the money out of you. If they set the money trap higher many people would not bother. The amount of pages and threads of people asking for the rate to be increased proves they have got it right otherwise people wouldnt be complaining they would just give up and leave the game.
The way I see to get them to increase the drop rate is to get more people to spend real money on your server then they may decide to up the drop rate to keep people happy as they see a good revenue stream.
I'm currently a Baronet with 3 cities, I've been hitting a lvl 4 lake next to one of my cities non stop for a while and not earned a single Lion or Rose medal.
I once fought a Prinzessin with 9 cities, but less Prestige then me. However simply because this player spent money to buy medal boxes he has a major advantage over me, This player can produce troops 3 times as fast as i can just because he bought a medal box. I think this is incredibly unfair. I don't want to spend money on a "free" game.
Petition Signed.
I have seen many players quit because they couldnt advance and some of these players had spent a lil before they quit if they hadnt quit they would spend more..........think about it

Posting in a pointless thread
we are in 82 and the same thing
server 84............ sucks. +1
Justme-wn2 Earl 448k Prestige :cool: FORCE
Justme-62 Knight 18k Prestige :eek: DFWF
Im an earl wn2 i can get roses medals for every attack i send
im a knight on 62 I cannot get any medals of any kind
It seems as though the drop rate changes after you have the medals you need for promotion.
Although,
This might be due to the massive amount of players around me looking for the same medals. With many players medal hunting my chances of getting the medals i need are substancially decreased. Aren't they?
If the medal drop rate was increased it would make many players very happy and they might actually spend more money.
I'm talking with members from many different servers to come here and sign the petition with hopes that it will do us some good. I'll also try to get them to be reasonable with with what they say. Maybe if people voiced they're opinions in respectful and courtious ways the evony team might consider our requests. They don't have to change anything if they really don't want to.
so until next time Good luck with the petition
and play nice:P
How about just fix the level 1-5 NPC and level 1-6 valley drop rates from 0 to something the other servers have?
at first i thought the same thing, that the medals were too hard to find, but now after the new research showing that you need to hit level 10 valleys to get the most medals, im kinda glad its that way. at first i was in a huge rush to advance, like most, but having to slow down and build up my city even more to adequately take on these valleys has been a pretty fun challenge. in retrospect, its forcing me to make better citys. in the long run it will be better for me because i will have fewer awesome citys as opposed to several cities that will be under developed. it has managed to keep my interest by forcing me to strengthen my existing cities before worrying about new ones.
thats just my new player opinion and point of view.
petition NOT SIGNED
Meanwhile the new player on those servers gets eaten alive before they can field enough troops to take on those valleys. Eaten alive by players who've either bought their way to through the promotions, or were there early enough to build up fast enough to match those who were buying their way through the promotions, but still falling short.
well then the revision needs to be in changing the attack rules so that you can only attack someone of equal or greater strength than yourself. maybe that could be a use for prestige? or perhaps you can only attack a city that is equal to, or greater than the highest level town hall you have. that would allow all players to better compete against people of a similar stage in the game rather than fighting people that have huge headstarts.
PvP aspects of any MMO have always been "attack whomever is flagged" from WoW to PW to this game. That will never really change, and players will never go for that. Not to mention the simple fact that prestige is a meaningless stat that can be adjusted to whatever you want. I can build every city with a level 3 townhall and level 9/10 everything else. I can drop my prestige or my honor if I wanted, or raise them both. None of those really tell you how strong I am. I could have 1m prestige, and no army, or 500k prestige and enough to stomp you flat ten times over. I could have 1 city with a level 3 townhall, but a million troops hiding inside.
Agreed. --TLira
What the hell do you need a petition for? What do you expect, 10 medals in a day? lol I get like one rose medal every 3-4 days by farming level 10 flats. Instead of wasting time complaining, go out there and FAARRRRM
And I doubt you guys really need that many cities.
In my opinion: Have such a large army that you can afford to cut your troop count in half to support the 2nd city and so on.
A lot of people I know have like 4+ cities and can't even defend em all with separate armies. I think the whole point of the game is to make it hard. And I really don't mind.. lol
Opinions?
this is so tedious , just a little bit easy would be nice .

If the evony game developers make medals drop by attacking valleys, who's gonna buy them and how are they gonna get paid?? Gg
signed pettition

They need to raise it to at least 1 in a 100 should be at 1 in 50 but i can live with 1 in 100 i am not spending a dime until they are changed
Petition Signed +++++++++++1
hi all,
i would have agreed a week ago, but you can get medals. just dont follow all the old guides as they dont work. I have tried them all, they work on the older servers.
I am on server 80, i did a guide a couple of days ago
http://bbs.evony.com/showthread.php?t=83026
thats the link for it on the forum.
if you follow it you WILL get medals. I got 15 medals yesterday by attacking lvl 10 valleys and flats.
I agree that they need to change what it says in the quest bit about promotion and how to get medals as it is wrong. Do try attacking lvl 10 valleys and flats you will be happy... its about 1 medal for every 5 lvl 10 valleys you attack.
good luck to you all
I'm not sure how it's supposed to be across the servers, I play on 33
I recently posted that the drop rate for me has been about 1-3%...
then as soon as I posted that, I didn't get any medals one day...then today I got 3 rose medals...so I guess I'm just going to keep my mouth shut and see how it keeps playing out :P
If you get lucky. If you don't get attacked every single day. If you can amass enough archers. If you can find valleys with ONLY infantry.
I just left BP on 101, and still cannot farm for medals, and doesn't look like I'll be hitting 10k archers anytime soon. Maybe in a week I might be able to assuming everyone doesn't go crazy attacking everyone else in sight like what happened on 84.
i have been playing evony for about 3weeks now and i cant get any medalsfrom npc's getting really annoyed count me in for the petition
I are teh Into tis.
I likesh Tish
lol 44,45 + pages of every1 posting +1 to the petition umm when do you guys think they will start taking this seriously ? when it hits 1k pages? they should have looked into it when it hit 10 pages imo but you know how evony can be.
i also have stopped payment and quit buying packages cents etc... untill they can return the drop rates to normal like the "Rest" of the servers.
its extremely "UnFair" to people who play this game for free to get smashed by the people that buy medal boxes,and promote and grow faster then a lil guy trying to survive long enough to be able to hit a lvl 10 valley.
but like the other 50 million posts about this i agree and +1 to this post also.
My husband and I have both been trying to earn medals. They just are not coming! Please increase the drop rate, or we may never earn a promotion in our hero's lifetime! Thanks!
I'm in on the petition. Supposedly the drop rate on server 67 is 1/100 but I have conquered over 600 and have not gotten even one.
I have been searching for medals on server 91 for over two weeks attacking all up to level 7 flats and NPC upto level 5 and haven't found s single one this is really starting to make me want to stop playing because it has taken the enjoyment out of it as I have no time to do anything else within the game. Has anyone noticed there doesn't seem to be much response to this issue from the admin!!!
Catfish, in what kind of valley did you find your honor medal?
Holy C.R.A.P 12k views goodgame.
im signing this petition +1
Come on already give us the medal drop rate we had before! I need them for the hero's I take!
