I'm sure you realize how breaking of a problem this is....and "working" on it for several weeks isn't good enough, meanwhile the bigger get bigger and the smaller get farmed.
So the wait answer....is getting very, very old.

and thats when threating a boycot works congrats buddy you got the attention from the moderator that matters... BE AWARE MODERATOR MAN that people are angry very angry it doesnt take a couple of people complaining on the forum to help you know that people are just going to stop playing or come and play. Read your game reviews on the web!!!!
No!
I understand that there is a significant problem. I also understand that it will take time to fix. When software problems occur in a non-trivial program, it can easily take weeks to find, fix, and test a solution. I understand the frustration that the players have, for I am one, but it just has not been that long...
its been some time passed now, a lot of text about a 20% drop rate from a moderator and thats a lie. Its def. not a 20% drop rate its much much much lower than that its got to be like .20% in reality, its so rare to get a medal from attacking vallies that its been suggested by a moderator to buy the medals which rose finding 6 can cost around 30 $s or wait every day and take a spin at it which is based on luck and might never happen for some, they should at least made getting medals as prizes from quests.
Oooh ooh you know what it is and you are getting me hungry! bahahaha!
If you say we will love it I think it is exactly what i have speculated to my alliance....
Gazza i honestly hope u r right cuz the game could be grat IMO
also lookin forward to gift for beta.
i have told RL friends to play game and dont wanna have to explain to them that hey it gonna get fixed just stick around
The game hasn't been out that long if you havent noticed. Even successful games run into snags here and there, and it takes time, trial and error to resolve them. The medal drop rate was FAR too high previously; hell, you could just spam an empty valley with scouts and get medals. OBVIOUSLY it needed to be changed so that promotion could actually MEAN something.
Maybe they did make medal drop rates too low in trying to fix the problem, but you know what? They are already planning to rectify that as well. Did you check Gazza's stickied topic? Take a peek. I myself was very pleased. http://bbs.evony.com/showthread.php?t=7239
As for leaving, it won't solve anything. Most players don't pay as it is, so the only thing they would accomplish by leaving is un-crowding the servers. I was a bit disheartened by the whole medal fiasco too, but like I said you have to expect little bits of trouble here and there when playing a new game. Evony has great potential, and the Evony staff has great plans to fulfill that potential as far as I can tell. You just need to work with them and help them fix the problems in a calm and civilized manner, as opposed to flame threads and threats. They know there is work to be done, and they are working on it. Just be patient.
On a side note though, of course they are going to advertise and try to recruit new players. New players supply more revenue, and you need money to pay the programmers in the first place. Evony is STILL a business afterall, so I have to assume it runs like one. We should just be grateful they DO put so much effort into the game when so few of the players put any money down on it.
Anyway, that's my four cents. yup. four.
