    You guys are all morons, spending that much money on stars. Are you crazy/ Talk about getting a$$ raped cause that's what Evony did to you. I'm sure you all are the types that have no idea how the mechanics work and wouldnt know what to do on either the offensive or defensive side. This game is a lot deeper than your star rating. If you have gear at 10 and stars at 10. The difference with the top guys isnt much at all. Fools and their money are soon separated as seen here.

    I suppose you consider $20k a lot of money well not everyone does. This game is played in some of the wealthiest countries in the world as well as some of the poorest. It is played in New York city with the largest concentration of billions in the world and it is played in Hati where 70% of the people live on $2 a day. so yea I can see how some one living on $2 a day will flip out when they see what some one in America, or Germany does with there money. having said that the mechanics of this game are complex and learning them is part of the fun and yea a 12 or 13 star can go toe to toe with toeesqurie 15 star set.

    I play from your "NY City" kinda place and I stil think 10k $ spent on a game is insane. My advice to those who spent 10k $: this is not something to be proud off, I would rather keep quiet if I was fool enough to sink such an amount on basically thin air. Not bragg about it.

    On topic: the star system is fair, 15 stars are not supposed to be for everione, else what would be the point of achieving such a feat if everione can do it? I do not play age2, have only tried it when it came out for a few weeks, but from what i understand, the gear is not everithing, and is very unlikely to take on such high gear player alone anyway, evony is more of a team play.

    Each to their own opinion about how much is 'too much' to spend on a hobby.

    I don't get how you havnt really played age2 much yet you can say the star system is fair.

    Personally I think its abit rough and very costly but the one thing you did say that I agree with is a 15 star set isnt for everyone.

    Plenty of people have done well with 11 or possibly a 12 star set :-)

    Biggest problem in Age2 that needs addressing in my opinion is the players who just start a server, Spend a few k snatching up all the hh's Just to sell them a few days later for prices around $300USD.

    Evony can set the price to whatever they want, their call.
    Right now they have set the price for a full 15 star set to $20k-$30k.
    Here is their problem:
    Set the price too high and you won't make as much money as possible.
    Set the price too low and you won't make as much moneyas possible.
    Set the price just right and you will make the most money possible.
    Right now Evony has set the price too high. The market for $20k-$30k buyers is too small. This is evident by the fact that only ~21 players across Age 2 have full 15 sets... that is a small market.
    If Evony dropped the price then the market of buyers would increase. But if they drop it too low they won't make the most money. Example:
    Players willing to spend $25k on average for a 15 star set: 30 ($750k)
    Players willing to spend $2k on average for a 15 star set: 500 ($1 million)
    Players willing to spend $1k on average for a 15 star set: 700 ($700k)
    Just an exmaple but you get the idea about setting the price so you get the most money possible.

    Evony has the server stats, we don't.

    Evony has the financial stats, we don't.

    Evony won't become this successful if what they were doing isn't profitable.

    We dont have the tools to judge, nor have the right to do so.

    Just let it be

    this is gonna hurt more then anything ive had to say before but i, i, i.....dont know if i can do it......... ok here it goes, i actually agree with this.. simple economics. look at sporting events and such. they price there tickets to make sure they fill as many seats as possible. whats better then a full house right?

    on the other hand tho, do these people with their 15 star set keep sinking as much money in after the acquire it???

    i do think the stars can be very unfair on players that dont spend money on the game or like me dont have alot of money to spend on the game. i understand evony want to make a profit from this which is understandable. but i dont think players should be penalized because they dont have the funds to get 15 star set
    but i guess they wont change it. when they must be getting alot of money from it.
