    anyways ... ppl spend to have a more enjoyable experience in the game. some ppl play this game or certain servers at least to accomplish certain goals and achieve new heights that can only be reached through coining ...

    why not? people spend hundreds/thousands throughout the years on some hobbies, and do so coz they enjoy it,


    evony isint just a game, its a hobby, something you can pop onto for a few hours a day
    and if you do already spend hours a day on it, then whats wrong with coining a bit since your getting your monies worth for the amount of time your putting into it.

    console games cost the guts of 60euro are limited in the things you can do and how far you can go with it,the games dictate what you do, in that regard, its easier to ask why would anyone in theyre right mind buy them ,yet they are a lot more popular than evony

    Excals, WoN, silver keys (when they are available) and holiday for when I am not going to be near an internet connection. Never bought an OnWar to level up a hero, not exactly sure why someone would, when you can get an Excal or WoN. Each to their own I guess.

    Lets look at this from the big picture view. BOMMM touched this a few posts up but didnt hit the nail quite square on the head.

    People spend money (if they have it to spend) on hobbies or materialistic things. Lets take cars for example. People spend thousands of dollars fixing up cars and making them faster and what not. They do this because they enjoy filling their spare time with it. Some other people like jewelry or purses or shoes, the same rules apply. People shop with loads of money because they enjoy spending time and money doing so.

    How is it any different if people do it on a internet game? In reality it isnt different at all. People are simply using their money on something they enjoy doing to make it a more enjoyable experience.

    Whether you find the same joy out of spending is irrelevant because im sure there are things you spend money on that some of these coiners would not agree with.


    Does this put it perspective fore you?

    Large coiners have a huge advantage, especially in a newer server. They can get through all their techs, gain all their titles and have an instant hero in days instead of the MONTHS it takes non-coiners (even the botters) to make the same headway.

    People are competitive by nature. As long as it continues to give a major advantage at the early game, people will continue to spend money. Even people who don't really have money to spend - you wouldn't believe the number of times I've heard of people getting credit card debt from Evony.

    On older servers, coining and holiday allows everyone to go back to having a life

    I think they need to make a server for non-coiners. I think it will actually help. Cause only some of us get out alive, and can play with the coiners. to actually kinda compete with them.

    What exactly will it help with? It certainly won't help Evony make any money and they are, after all, a for-profit company not a group of nerdy philanthropists.

    when was the last time sony or microsoft introduced a patch (without prior warning) basically calling you a cheater then make your game harder to play that you couldn't back date to reverse?

    plus you're allowed to share your console or disks with everyone you want without worrying about being punished for breaching a TOS.
    then... when you get tired of the game, you can sell it (if you feel like it) in a garage sale and get half your money back.

    i think comparing evony to a game console is a pretty long draw of the bow

    at least to me it is

    personally i think mario kart is the bomb, worth every cent and challenge anyone here to say different
    especially good value when you consider wii is obviously the weakest console on the market
