    I know what I am doing in this game. I didn't do any of the above that you mentioned. I just got screwed.
    You are stating it like that's a fact. The only fact here is that you do not know what happened. You are also not interested in finding out what happened, but just want to blame Evony. There are a lot of new features in Age II.


    Getting or not getting the hero is not problem. It is about the drop rates. In Age 1 you could grind it out to remain competitive. In Age 2 grinding accomplishes nothing.
    FaceBook levels the playing field. Unlike Age I, everyone can now get free war horns every day for example. Also, do we want the players grinding for 16 hours per day to dominate servers? They are just as bad as coiners if you ask me. And weren't people complaining that you needed to spend way too much time playing Evony to compete? That is also more balanced now.

    Now with Age 2 the gear is more important than the hero, so having a 0 drop rate on materials stops the ability to advance therefore creating an imbalance between those who pay and those who don't. If you create an imbalance like that then the non payers are going to leave and the payers won't have anyone to attack.
    Yes materials don't drop. You can still grind gems though and get to lvl 8-9 star level, which also gives a huge boost. Have you already gotten your Queen? Quite a decent hero you can get for free there.

    In Age I, payers could totally destroy non-payers, by taking all but one of their cities, take all resources, destroy all troops, set loyalty in last town to 0. The 'casual player' is more protected from insane grinders/coiners than on Age I, by the colonization system.

    You talked about using Facebook to get rewards. My question is why should I have to join Facebook to get rewarded? I came her to play Evony not sign up for Facebook. Why aren't the Facebook rewards being dropped for those actually playing the game? Doesn't it seem more fair to reward the people for actually playing the game instead of creating an account at some other company?
    You simply did not take the time/effort to find out how the FB rewarding system actualy works. You very much so have to 'play the game' to get the rewards. You have to make friends in Evony, send eachother gifts, visit eachother's empire ingame, let other people know you've posted items on your wall. Teamwork is not 'playing the game'?

    if your gear levels are capped out at lvl 2/3 then that star sets you are talking about, i can grind out npcs for gems and cap a lvl2/3 set within one day.

It certainly isnt that coining on Age II gives you that much more advantage, it's quite close actually, mainly because of FaceBook leveling the field.
    age2 with hero levels capped at 100, and the only real heroes that are invulnerable pretty much to ever being lost to another player the Historics, along with hero gear also...both these only got thru being a coiner. age2 has huge imbalance. in age1 you could grind and spend time and compete. age2 you cannot.

    woldere i seen your HH collection,and how you coin, and dont level them. so you can defend coining all day long but the fact is in age2 coiners have about a 20-25times advantage over non coiners. and people who do not buy have zero chance to upgrade their gears or get historic heroes.

    I am wondering why also. I joined a brand new server to gauge my growth against others starting from scratch. I haven't spent a dime, have been medal hunting for three weeks with three drops only, all in the same day and have made it to Beronet. The lost armour script is virtually non exsistant so hero stats are not going any where fast All the big prestige players i have talked to have spent upwards of $300 to augment their growth. So much for a balanced playing field.

    Spending time "leveled the playing field". Now, since some of us intentionally don't have a Facebook (or other social networking site) account because we don't like putting our lives on display and/or have privacy concerns about Facebook, we are at an extreme disadvantage.

    As I pointed out to you before, Facebook's terms of use state that you are supposed to use your real name and only have ONE account. It does not matter if other people are not using their real names and have multiple Facebook accounts, it is a rule. Some of us play by the rules. Encouraging people to break rules to be competitive is not a good thing. Telling people that their privacy concerns or lack of desire to make their life public is "silly" or "stupid" is also not a good thing.

    Unlike Age I, everyone can now get free war horns every day for example. Also, do we want the players grinding for 16 hours per day to dominate servers? They are just as bad as coiners if you ask me.
    People make a choice to spend time. I was one of them. I'm unemployed and have a tough situation regarding employment. This was my way to occupy my time when not searching for employment. You whining about how that is "unfair" is silly, from my perspective, as I'd much rather have less free time and a job. But no, unhappy with this "advantage" that you think I have in a game, you want to reduce that to nothing because you're not satisfied with only the advantage you have in LIFE over me, so you want to have the company rig things so that you can take away the advantage I have here too. You all that complained about "level playing field" succeeded with that. Congrats.

    And weren't people complaining that you needed to spend way too much time playing Evony to compete? That is also more balanced now.
    I never complained, but clearly you did / would have...


    You simply did not take the time/effort to find out how the FB rewarding system actualy works.
    ...and you simply did not wish to take the time/effort to become good at the game, you just wanted it handed to you via Facebook.

    Again, congrats on getting the company to cater to you...

    if that was true if time in game was equal to spending money in game for same benefits:

    a player could invest 5-10 times the amount of time, even 50. of a coiner and be on equal ground. not so.

    NO MATTER WHAT. NO MATTER WHAT. a non coiner will not ever have same footing ever, as a coiner: historic heroes and hero gear makes the disparity between a free player and a coiner way too large in Age2. all there is to it

    It is simple. Evony rewards people for free advertising on FB. More advertising means more players...a % of those new players will spend money.

But the items are still out there and drop at the correct rates.

    As Domi indicated in his post, it is obviously not intended for players to win literally hundreds of valuable items in a short period of time.
    Drop rates on items are awful, I haven't seen anything besides medals, and gems drop in 6 or 7 weeks, and I hit 6 lvl 8's, 2 lvl9's, and usally 1 or 2 10's everyday.

    Medals drop, thats cool, I guess the developers saw how new players didn't stick around very long in age 1 when they saw medals almost nvr droped. But the truth is these items really don't drop and repeating false information that they do drop does not make it so. I mean it's nice that you reply to comments ppl make about the game, but to tell ppl that there spreading "false information" and then try and tell us that these items do drop is discredit yourself, really you shouldn't bother commenting on something if your going to spread misinformation about said subject... these items don't drop, like I said, I'm hitting plenty of high lvl npc's everyday, and I haven't seen anything besides gems, and medals drop in close to two months.

    Domi said it is obviously not intended for players to win literally hundreds of valuable items in a short period of time.?

    who's asking for literally hundreds of valuable items? nobody's asking for hundreds of anything, but really, would it be so awful to see something drop once a week, if your literally hitting hundreds of NPC's a week?
