    Default What i believe is the real reason reps dont reply to medal threads..

    There is just to many of them to start with... if everyone would stick to the same one (preferably a poll thats still open) and vote only on that one then the numbers of who is for and against would be more acurrate plus it wouldnt seem that we just keep bringing up the same old problem...
    When was the last time some1 gave you something after asking a bazillion times? Its like beating a dead dog theres absolutely no point to a million threads about the same thing...

    Well, there are always whiners and one off complaints about anything.

    One guy earlier was crying that he couldn't advance teleport right next to someone and start attacking. Developers can't respond to every retard that figures out how to use a computer.

    There are a lot of people like myself who found the 1% drop rate to be reasonable, but if we did a survey I bet the amount of people who find the drop rates on 70+ servers reasonable is the same amount of people who find it unreasonable they can't adv teleport right next to someone and attack them.

    The reason they are not responding is because they can't. There is no reasonable way to justify what they are doing. The developers are going to have to change advertisements to say that evony only gives you the first two cities for free or improve the drop rate.

    Or maybe the programmers that work are novices and don't understand how random number work and think the drop rate is higher than it really is and they don't want tell the entire community that they are delusional and wrong. Hopefully they have tools to see the amount of medals players are earning from valleys.

    That is the one question the developers could answer for me. Do they understand the reality of the situation and is the current drop rate intentional? If the answer is yes, I quit and I imagine others will too. They are not going to say something that loses them customers, so they are not going to answer at all.

    So see, it doesn't matter if we create 10 threads or create 1. We already know the answer. If it was any different, we would at least get a "we are investigating" response.

    EDIT: Actually, to put it more simply. Put yourself in their shoes. Would YOU want to be the one who has to explain to the community that the game is only free up to the first two cities? You would probably not want to do that at all.

    One thing I just remembered.

    http://bbs.evony.com/showthread.php?t=45613

    Without an increase in drop rate, you practically won't be able to get more than 200k prestige. So the real motto for the game is that the first 2 cities and 200k prestige is free.

    So ya, apparently this change to making the game not be free has been in place for awhile.

    Coming soon means it is planned, and if it is planned we should assume it is going to happen,

    Are you saying that because they said it is coming soon that we should not believe them?

    When that change occurs, you won't be able to get over 200k prestige. Which means either your 400k prestige will be set down to 200k, or you'll never gain another point of prestige again until you pay for medals. How do you feel about that?

    the nearly 80 pages saying pres cap is not a good idea says otherwise.. they mite implement part of that thread but at this point they would be insane and lose pretty much everyone if they implemented the cap

    I had about 350k pres when before I advanced past Knight. Even on an older server when I didn't know the rules to medal farmin' so I jus' left it and got on with constructions for the msot part.
    Bein' a Knight doesn't stop you advancin' in the game.
    There's a guy on my server with like 3m prestige and he's a knight. He had some 5m honour last I checked, too.
    In fact, a lot of the stronger guys I know have only a couple of cities and can still dominate.

    This argument "we're trapped in two cities with 200k rpes" is invalid. Not only can you still get medals (no one's gunna argue the droprate is terrible, I get it) but the fact is you still can and even if you really, really, really can't...it doesn't stop you playin' the game.
    It's slower?
    That's no different than buildin' lv10 walls without usin' speedups...

    Be careful, the fact you haven't really played on a new server is showing.

    A level 10 wall can be built without speedups. The problem isn't that getting rank takes awhile, the problem is that it is impossible. Sure it doesn't stop us from playing the game, but what is the point when you won't be able to gain prestige or cities for playing?

    what part of its not impossible are you not getting? just cuz it takes forever doesnt mean its impossible, this especially goes for newer servers

    Do I need to refer you to my post earlier?

    Impossible.

    If you get a medal every 4 weeks, (which no one on the new server has done. ask anyone), it would take you 12 years to get rank 10. This is if you are lucky and good.

    For most people, they are going to get a medal every 10 weeks or so on the new server. Which means it will take 30 years to get rank 10. For 29 years your prestige will be stuck at 1000k.

    Currently there has never been an online game that stayed up for 30 years, so until you produce evidence that it is even possible that evony will be here in 30 years you have to conclude that it is impossible to advance without paying.
