Thread: The "Luck" of the Draw?????

  1. #1

    Default The "Luck" of the Draw?????

    LOL.....honestly, I "do" understand the whole point to this "game" is to get people to send them money for "coins"......I GET IT, OK?? So my 'rant' below is just that.....*S*

    GAWD, do they HAVE to be so 'obvious' when it comes to the 'amulet' results on your 'free daily spin'???

    ROTFL, I see the traffic going by where "Lord This" or "Lady That' won 100 or 1000 coins, or a 'speech worth 100 coins' - and yet....when *I* spin, I get a "Beginner's Guideline" worth 5 cents! Three days in a ROW!!!!

    I especially LOVE it when some (nameless...lol) moderator defends the game by saying "Well, *I* am successful and *I* never bought anything!" ROTFLMAO - well, of course!! If you spin and win 100 coins a day for FREE......you most likely DON'T need to buy anything!!

    Here's a thought for the game developers.....perhaps you could forego a TINY bit of profit, and "weight" the spin results so the '7-day players' actually GET something useful.....it just MIGHT make them want to stick around longer! Golly, they MIGHT even buy more coins once they're "hooked".......*grinning*

    I think what you are saying, is that active players deserve some kind of weekly reward?

    I don't really think the words do or coins need to be put into quotation marks. Even in a sarcastic tone that doesn't make sense.

    Beginners guidelines are actually more valuable than a lot of the worthless crap they claim is worth 500 cents (Speech text for example, 500 cents? Uh right). Be thankful for winning those. I win like 15k gold and 40k iron and 40k food every day, when I have 150mil gold, 250mil food and 100mil iron stockpiled in my cities as it is. It's random weighted admittedly and some people are luckier than others (like 4 people in my allinace have won mechanics batallions already), but that's gambling for ya.

    No, I'm gathering they're upset watching a nooblet keep free coins/etc. that they probably had to pay for.
    I think all they're asking for is a bit of balance.. How about throwing them a bone for supporting the company wallet?

    These bonus packages are a joke... Don't bring those up.

    POKEY.....actually, I wasn't really trying for 'sarcasm'....I'm rather more "peeved" than sarcastic at the moment....sorry. While I do agree that the 'guideline' items are 'useful' - they SURE aren't nearly as useful as winning 100 or 1000 'coins'!

    STEAM, no, I'm not asking them to reward active players. Not the point of this at all.

    SCREWEDJOO - thanks for 'getting 'it'....a little more 'balance or fairness' is all I'm asking for here.....it's a computer program, the developers can "weight" the spins if they so choose.
    And ROTFL at the 'bonus packages' comment....that's SO true!!

    It's free stuff guys, geez. You get free stuff but you still complain. Maybe you would be happier with nothing.

    Anyway, my theory is that the wheel is rigged against good players.

    Honestly, I wouldn't doubt that considering wall defenses and AT's right now, us farming noobs.

    Hey, the noobs have to have something, right? Even though someone with 5k prestige cannot support a Mech Battalion.

    I think it evens out over time, you get a naff prize 9 times out of ten and then a decent or good one. I went through a phase of winning flag renames ffs!

    Lately though I won a double saw (+25% lumber prod for 7 days) and a Mich script in the last 3 days and two jnr battalions in the last week.

    Over time you cant really complain, something is better than nothing (marginally!)

    I actually like winning beginner guidlines. The worst part of lvl 10 archery research is the last 15 minutes.
