Look for Daphnias "Homes for Noobs" or something like that. It's stickied in one the the forum sections. Other KaW discussion I'm pretty sure.
What if devs just changed the mech of volly to allow higher than 1 million per purchase.....that ceiling was great 3 years ago but now noobs need to compete. Most of the time I see us volley them up to 10 or 20 billion but they make so little...its not that players arent helping, its the cap at which they stop making any real gold. No serious kawer will go past 20 billion on a noob so devs have to raise the cap and amounts on noobs to match the hte adjustment
