Just adding fuel to the fire that they will ignore. First 10 days of this game was awesome...then discovered the fact that you need medals to progress beyond knight title and literally 1,000-2,000 (not kidding) various valley attacks later (following advice, guides, etc etc etc) and I have received ONE rose medal. Lets say it was 1,000 attacks...a 0.001% chance of getting a rose medal.....chance of being hit by lightning isn't too far off from that....so far I guess I'm winning that luck roll, just not the rose medal ones.

You can say all you want that you are slowing it down to keep it competitive...what about the people who break down and buy medal boxes and completely destroy those of us who joined a "free forever" game as advertised???? How is that competitive? I wouldn't mind paying for certain items...but I will NOT buy items just to be able to continue the game or face certain doom vs. someone who did buy the items.
