i tend to instaspy when i'm on an island surrounded by red so i can sick em while they have troops out and aren't expecting an attack. =) or when they have 5k scouts. there's no way i'm wasting that kind of farm space to build enough to scout them. wastes my attack power.

He has 13 cities because he has ONE LORD and we made him take barbs vs attacking players with 2k cities. Jesus. Get the rumors right.

P2P would be nice. I would enjoy that.

Although I agree with DSA on gold isn't that big of a deal, it's been around forever.

It would seem fair to offer a P2P world maybe even make a tournament out of it. Since to me it seems everyone was hoping the GW would be tournament style.

I have no respect for anyone who pays to boost themselves, if respect is even worth anything to those people. If they need to make money, then flat fee the game off the start. You can't complain about not having time, that is what a real world game is about. I want to play against people who are actually good. I've not spent a dime to boost and I never will.

Queue extender could be something to look at, maybe even consider permanent resource boosters to make up for the lack of early resource (where the most gold is spent)

DS, I would like to have hope you of all people would post something worth reading in here. You have admitted to being one that has spent more because you felt it was necessary. You also have been involved in a lot of the competitive banter of late.
Surely you have more to contribute on this?

I know this has been brought up plenty of times. I personally feel as though quark may see it as something only a small portion of the player base would take part in - therefore it doesn't get anywhere. Hope in the current downtime + the guild world controversy might just get more people expressing in here.

Thanks.



Fark when i dropped the gold in 100 it was because I saw Que. I also dropped it to keep up with my guild mate Damiyan. I didn't want to be food for someone as I wasn't there with my typical guild. I agree that spending gets out of hand at times, but I mean if your guild works together it's not that big of an issue.
YOU know just as well as I do money has ALWAYS been spent in this game. You played with fides, you know how much he drops. Why does this matter so much all of a sudden?
A pay to play world would be interesting. I'd probably bomb because I always go for buildings vs resources first, but at least I would have fun being taken out.

I think Legacy isn't on iOS as didn't found it on iTunes... Am I right?

If you remove gold boosts from the equation it only allows those with lots of phone time to dominate everyome else. The problem with TBS is that you have to be glued to your phone in order to be competitive. Taking gold out removes the only crutch allowed to players who cant use their phone at work. My last job didnt allow phones at all so i would be AFK for 10 hrs of each waking day.

We need to return to Legacy, where you could remain competitive even if you only had 6 hrs of every day available for valor. I used to only have that much time...cant imagine I'd be successful on TBS with that little time available to me. I was capped early on in the only TBS world I played, and then i got my android...

Legacy was a balanced system. Gold compensated for those who worked busy schedules. High player caps nerfed big gold spenders by allowing players to gang up on the big guy.

TBS sounds like a nightmare and I dont know of any of my old IOS friends - some of whom who played this game from almost day one- who still play valor. TBS ruined an awesome game.
