i can only share my experiences with you. From what I've seen, the devs do not just cater to the few wealthy/celebrity/ powerful people in this game, especially not at the expense of the public. That would be terrible business practice, and since development relies on this to pay bills and feed their families, it wouldn't be wise for them to do it. Why make a person who pays you 1k a day happy if it pisses off a community that pays 50k a day? The math doesn't work. (All numbers are hypothetical and pulled out of my ass for the sake of an example) Its fun to think that certain players get special treatment. It makes for great conspiracy theories, and trust me, I've read almost all of the conspiracy theories in this app. As a person who sits behind the scenes, I can tell you, the truth is far and away more boring. The devs do not p,ay favorites. santa clause os not real, and their are no aliens at area 51. Sorry :-(
Moose don't come into forums and publically lie to the community. I debate your claim that devs don't cater to their big spenders. PROOF.... Recently Romulus_ and yellownoodle sold their accounts. Clear violation of TOU. The gold is being vollied off of the accounts currently. But because the accounts were purchased by two of the top 20 Leaderboard players, devs have turned a blind eye to this fact. Yet we find a hole in their mechs, and get destroyed for it. Funny how 155 ppl were caught doing it and only certain ones were destroyed under the pretenses of "funnelling gold off the accounts". Why funnel gold off the account? It took merely minutes to gain 1t. It would take 2 hours to volley gold off to another account. But 10 minutes to just delete buildings. So what would be the point in funneling gold anywhere? Yet we have leaderboard players who are actually VIOLATING TOU and devs do nothing? How is it that someone who breaks no rule in the TOU gets destroyed yet clear, blatant, violations of TOU are overlooked? Don't erase this post either moose because you can't dispute it. I feel if we are to be destroyed then devs need to step up and destroy the accounts of those actually violating terms of use.
That's Bs devs you stripped people's accounts that have worked hard and build there accounts over years . They were the way they were before any of this what ever it was . You say it was on the last update . Well I know 4 people that had there accounts stripped by you that worked hard to build there account with out your stupid screw up but you still stopped them .... I don't understand why they suffered that greatly when it was your mistake . Especially when they accounts were that strong for as many years as they have . I personally don't your this mistake you haves made but you have crushed my friends builds for your mistakes .
micky. I like you. I've always liked you. But even if I didn't, I'd still leave your post alone . As I stated in my prior post, ive read all the conspiracy theories. They are wonderfully written, and fun to read, but they really need to be posted in FF, IMHO. Its irreverent, at the end of the day, however, because people,e will chose to believe what they chose to believe.
Lol so you are saying that my claims of LB accounts being bought and sold, which is a CLEAR VIOLATION of tou is nothing more than tinfoil conspiracy theories? And that developers turn a blind eye to them. More conspiracy theories? Or are the honest statements? Is it right to destroy certain accounts when no tou violation exists yet allow big spenders to violate tou unabated? Or is my foily too tight? Cmon even you know better than that bud
And devs have removed all my build from both my accounts for "funneling" gold (which is ludicrous) although I broke NO TOU. Yet their big spending leaderboard players do break tou and "funnel" gold off their bought accounts(clear violation of tou) yet nothing happens??? Does anyone else see that as being wrong? Yes what i did was morally wrong, but not against any rule in tou. I didn't hack/manipulate the developers code in any way. I merely used a glitch in their system, which they were warned of weeks prior to me doing so, yet did nothing about it. The object of this game is to acquire gold currency in the best, most efficient way possible, while remaining inside the terms of use set forth by developers. Their game mechanics allowed me to acquire this gold without violating tou in any way. As said I didn't hack/manipulate any of their code. I merely did what their system allowed me to do, yet instead of them taking the blame, they destroy my account and blame me. I'm not at fault. Make a game that the goal is to be the wealthiest and give me a way to make tons of gold at once using YOUR MECHANICS THAT WERE PUT IN PLACE BY YOU(@devs) and then call me a cheater and destroy my accounts. I feel developers need to take responsibility for their own mistakes instead of destroying us for them.
And willy look at leaderboard. Yellownoodle was ranked 23 ally lb when he sold the account. Look where it it is now. You know for sure yellow didn't just decide to quit and volley all his gold into 3-5t crap stat allies for no reason. Obviously sold. If that isn't proof enough then you are merely trolling
Peeps who exploited this glitch and expected to get away with it are being a bit naive! What did you think the devs were going to do? Let you keep your gold while the rest of us play this game honestly and fairly!? You did wrong and you're being punished for it, it sucks but for the sake of fairness to all it needed to happen!
Fando that's a silly statement. Its not ok for us to stay within game mechs but is ok for players to buy leaderboard accounts (read tou. Account selling/gifting/etc is against tou) So you want to call us out and call us cheaters when we in no way broke any tou but it's ok for clear violators to break tou? How ridiculous that sounds. I feel if I'm going to be destroyed they need to be fair and destroy the funds created by gold vollied off bought accounts since the change in tou. My reasoning: players who do not violate tou by purchasing accounts to volley the gold off of onto their mains have no way to keep up to people who buy 70t on an account and volley it over. That's not fair for anyone trying to become top leaderboard whole remaining in the bounds of tou. Where are the complaints of the fairness of that?
I think this is totally gay! They had the glitch so they fix it, but to practically reset accounts is beyond retarded!!! I personally know a few of the crowd n their stats were not that small before the glitch n they should be set to where they were. People who BOT get less crap then this n yes I know those crazy peeps too!! I say booooooo to u devs!
keying off of willys question, do you have proof, or is this just conjecture........... Because it sounds like conjecture
Come on mickey, leave it out. What did you and half of black hand expect? Can i ask what you did with some of the gold? Strip anyone? You think those people will get their gold back? I'm glad you all got caught. Start again from scratch, or go but an account like 'everyone else does'. If that fails, you could always ask yuki for tips.
Are you suggesting I go break tou taxman? Isnt that a tou violation in itself. You deserve to be banned for that according to your previous statement. Do you see how silly your post looks now?
Mickey, Two wrongs don't make a right, maybe the devs will take action against people who sell accounts but just because they may or may not have bought/sold accounts doesn't mean you can exploit something like that without some kind of punishment. I agree the punishment has been harsh looking at it from the outside if it is true that people have had too much taken from them!
@moose. Proof? I don't need to prove anything. If I'm lying then devs can ban me right? But they can look at logs and see the account was sold and know I'm not lying. I have to prove nothing to forums. Devs know it happened and they are the ones that require the proof. Which they have in their logs. So......
Fando I'm not saying two Wrongs make a right. I'm saying if you are goin to completely destroy my accounts when I DID NOT VIOLATE TOU then they should also destroy accounts of players who have violated TOU. I understand ppl think what we did was morally wrong. Maybe it was. But it was not in violation of tou. Yet look at my act now. Players who clearly violate rules outlined in the terms of use tho, however, are overlooked and allowed to continue violations TOU. Developers claim that they did this "in fairness to all their players who have worked hard to advance in game". Yet they allow people to violate tou in order to buy accounts and volley the gold off to their mains. How is that fair to kingdoms that stay in the line and don't violate tou by buying accounts. Two wrongs don't make a right, but consistency should be shown when dealing with matters of fairness and tou violations.
