If the medal drop rate is raised I will eat a shoe
I really hate to disprove this theory, but I feel that I must.

And this was all in a 24hr period. Now, that being said, I still believe the drop rate is virtually non existant on any valley below lvl8. All of my attack came on lvl9 or lvl10 valleys. So while we can get medals without losses, we cannot get them on low lvl valleys. They do need to fix that so the people who cannot attack the higher levels can at least have a shot at getting a medal.
I hate how much time you have to devote to finding a medal when the point is nearly fruitless anyway.
1%-3%
You have my vote too, im on server 101 and attacked lots of valleys with no medals??????????? bull S@@@ im not paying for medals i should get for attacking, thats the whole point of a F@@@en medal is from battle not paying!!! Theaving Bast@@@s!!!
Open poll so people can vote :-)
Thinking of quiting to be honest, right now i'm doing well in the top 20 on server 96 yet i've only 2 cities as i refuse to buy medals ( I know that people with more than 2 cities who buy medals will slowly advance above etc)! I mean wtf, i've spent days and weeks now trying different tactics, i've had some random medals but no friken Rose! So, it is true - Everything now rigged so people can only obtaine most medals now by buying boxes?
We lost one of our good players yesterday that did spend some money on a couple of the servers we were on. He has quit all the servers he was playing and reset them. How many more people do we have to loose?????
The changes are unfortunate. I fully understood that people who spent money had a significant head start in this game through the purchase of medals, but that head start is now an insurmountable advantage. Previously (and I mean like a month ago) a non-paying player could at least grind out low valleys with a couple thousand attacks and get the medals required and catch up a bit after a month or two, but now the odds are so stacked against them it becomes a futile effort to even play.
I'd say my days are limited at this point.
*over 1000 valley attacks and over 200 NPC attacks on server 92 with 1 freedom medal from a level 2 swamp to show for it.
I agreee higher medal drop
++++++1
I'm all for increasing medal drop rates. As they are now, I believe it takes too much playing time to advance in the game.
I wonder how much grey rep the OP has received?
Probably only a quarter of what votes the poll got. :)
it is certainly a yes from me. it makes the game crap and not worth playing.
ive maxed out my account and there is nothing left unless i pay. the only option...to quit.
new player just starting...the entire point of playing a FREE game is to able to NOT pay to play it! If it takes months to farm enough valleys to get the metals required to get a third city, I won't know, because I won't be here that long to find out. I have really enjoyed the game so far, but after I max out my two cities and can't go further, I won't. Please raise the drop rate. +++++++1
i'm in as well.we want th medal drop rate to rise please
+1 im also in this
Signed, +1
+1 i want some medal, but it take like 1k attack to find one x.x
Im all for it.
But like it or not Evony is a buisness. They did infact make this game to make money. You can play this game for free but if you want to make it big the easy way you have to pay. The low medal drop rate is just an incentive for you to spend money on cents to buy medal boxes.
I'm game for this, my thoughts on the topic...Which got deleted by a mod so i'll repost it here.
It's clear that all of a sudden the new servers have a stupidly low drop rate on medals right? Most of us have established it's a marketing scheme, way i see it is that evony in the earlier stages accumalated a huge userbase and continued to attract people as new servers opened, now it seems they have they're players and it wouldn't matter if they lost some by changing drop rates to increase cent production.
I've tried pretty much every tactic and so has most of my alliance, it's ovious getting medals are almost impossible. Everyday you hear new stories about how bad evony is administrated, lack of communication between players and admins/developers etc.
All this is honestly starting to make me want to quit. What's the point if you can't keep up with the players who buy there medals? I would be happy to spend money on this game if the medals money making scheme wasn't in place, i'd be more willing to buy cents for other items etc, but not medal boxes.
I should imagen others have said what i have before, and no one important will read it.
Ah well, i've put my 2cents in.
It isn't a low medal drop rate. If that was the problem, if it had dropped to say 1 in 1000 from 1 in 100 I would just grind more. The medal rate for rose & cross is nonexistent on level 1-3 valleys, and apparently they drop (at a very low rate) from level 10 valleys now. This is a wholesale change in the mechanics of the game, and in fact is in direct conflict with in-game instructions and information Evony provides.
They need to take one of the following steps:
1. Fix it. Put the medals at least back on the valleys they're supposed to be, even if its at a decreased rate.
or
2. Admit it. Fix the in game text to state the truth about where medals are found and allow players to make the decision if they think its worth it.
I've spent money in the past on other servers than the one I'm on now, but I won't spend money at a dishonest company, and this seems like dishonest corporate policy to me.
please add me to petition to raise medals drop rate...in a constructive reinforcement of orginiztion 4 fun to Rieghn supra. in the microcosm of things.
;)
Everyone who is "++++++++1"ing, you don't give any rep... In other words it's just pointless, your rep is worthless... I'm just trying to help ya so don't take this the wrong way...
Server 2...
I think in the last 800 lvl 10 hits I've gotten 35 scripts and 0 medals.
-1
You can't get medals if you don't try and go back to complain.
I don't feel your pain cuz I'm on server 31. :p
