Hi there - for what its worth the game has changed and I agree the dymamic of gold spending needs to change with it - I don't think a gold free world will work and neither do I think a gold only world will work but I believe there can be a happy medium.
I posted this in another forum but this one seems to have more traffic, so I'll post here too.
the problem is that current status is being ruined for those of us who do want to pay a reasonable amount (because its worth it) by those who use gold recklessly.
for what its worth here's what I posted...
As a regular player, and one that uses GOLD, (there I said it - I'm not ashamed) I couldn't agree more.
I spend on average, I'd say, about 25 - 50 Dollars a world (I am ashamed to say that I have spent 100 once).
I'm happy to pay for such an amazing experience, each world.
Having said that - It does ruin the game - for me knowing that I have an unfair advantage, and more so for others knowing that they can never grow as fast or as strong as I can.
This is a very difficult topic, because Quark needs to make money. What I'm concerned about is the level of spending ATM, it is getting out of control and it is ruining the game for even players like me who are happy to pay a VERY PREMIUM price for a world. I'm getting killed by players who are happy to blow 200 on a world and that is where the problem comes in.
An 'a list' PS3 / xbox title costs around 50 - 60 dollars.
I can play that game over and over again and never have to spend anything more on it. EVER.
This is a GREAT mobile game (but it is not an 'a list ' title) and I have been waiting for a game like this for a very long time, and like I said I'm happy to pay to play, but lets be reasonable about it.
Make the game free to play, and also have a premium tier for those who want to actually enjoy the game on a regular basis. make each world standard enter for free, but pay your 40 dollar entrance fee; and you get the queue extender and the resource boosters FOR THE WHOLE WORLD. perhaps include 1 truce (which is used way too often and should perhaps be scrapped as it really ruins the whole experience) and 5 instant spies and perhaps one of each of the other admin style premium options. and that's all you get - use them to your best advantage.
I feel that this would greatly increase the amount of people who pay to play and solve this inequality issue that this game has.
this is also pretty simple to implement.
problem solved quark - now fix it. because I'm not sure if I will pay to play again.
