I'm a guild hansel that plans on upgrading to higher stat buildings before I hit 12 highlands and will be there very soon
I know my GH alt with be converting. Currently a GH for that amazing equipment that will come in hand nicely after full conversion.
Why does he have all those towers? Anything above 4.5m spy static def is a waste. As nobody will touch you. 4.5m static spy def won't even be that hard to achieve aswell, it'll probably be about 10-12 new t6 towers. He could have lowlands and highlands fitted with t4/5. And still have room for 13 ish t6 on new lands.
I can easily make billions in 10 minutes hiring under 20b price tag, and it won't crash there because that's where MP and Alts are usually priced there, With new players as well. Not to mention they sell within an hour so you can make more and more buys, like a simple 200m profit times by 5 an hour turns into a billion. Then times that by however many 12-15b allies you can hire. It is a lot of small gains to make a big gain.
If someone makes 250b x day from allie trading, you can imagine how much gold he must have out at random times. Hence, if i was him i would build a massive static spy defence(and prefere spy BFA) and this way people who can make successful steal can be counted on fingers of 1 hand.
Nice to see Cratnas in that thread... that's a serious ally trader. I used to buy a few there for myself. If he offers you a lesson, jump onto the opportunity!
