Seems Inno was doing just fine for many years without pushing pay to win that hard. THe main thing that seems to have changed is that Inno is now owned/majority owned by MTG who appear unsatisfied with a solid profit and are intent on milking FOE for all its worth regardless of whether it ends up driving the game into the ground in the longterm.
There is no actual need for 2 lane roads whatsoever in any age. You can plop down any military building on the edge of your city and even though it never builds since no 2 lane road it still gives units from the traz. Also, can get same age production quests done from a variety of small event buildings so no need for same age production buildings. Goods buildings are esepcially useless compared to event buildings once 2 lane roads are needed for them. I could go on but this should be enough to make my point.
I think you need to work on your timeline. Yes, MTG has only owned 100% of InnoGames since 2022, but 51%+ since 2017. MTG has, therefore, had the majority share of InnoGames for 7 years. There's been no sudden change to make MTG a factor in FoE.
Your response is a bit disengenous. You are implying that there is no difference between owning 51% of a company compared to owning the whole thing. MTG has a greater ability to do what it wants with FOE after buying it all than only slightly over half. ALso, I guess its just a coincidence that the huge push towards pay to win (things like the pay pass) started appearing in the same general timeframe that MTG bought all of FOE. lol
A majority shareholder sets the agenda. 51% carries no less weight in decision making than 100%.
Yes, a coincidence. Regardless, what possible difference does it make? Who's to say that FoE leadership wouldn't have made the same decisions absent the direction of MTG?
You just had some bad luck. I just did 285 fights on 20% sectors. 60 attrition.
Thank you for that confirmation of what I have noticed myself. I just got done mentioning that in another thread.
MTG has been a factor in FoE since they got majority ownership in 2017. It's gotten worse (much worse) in the last two years. If you hadn't noticed that the downward spiral started much earlier than 2022, then you just weren't paying attention.
4X the fights? No thanks.
There would be no point to a 1 hour timer in GbG given that flipping the entire map even close to every 4 hours never comes close to happening anymore.
I find it very interesting that the one time you complain about something in FOE, you get it wrong. There will always be times when you gain attrition at a faster rate than the stated odds for what your guild has built in GbG. However, in the long term this evens out. I do 500+ batttles nearly every day in GbG and my total fights at the end of a GbG season closely match what can be expected for 80% attrition reduction given the attrition level I typically reach each day.
Its easy still to make crystal league with good attack stats in pvp. Well you also probably need some medals but active players with good arcs should be able to get those. What is true I think is that its basically not possible to get in the top 10 for example if you are in one of the space ages for example (and not in titan or SAJM) since it gives you 3 star opponents that are basically unbeatable if you are in SAAB for example. GbG itself is becomming more and more of a sad joke and a waste of time though.
How high must Red be (?) ..... I am @ ~1500% on both ends in Virtual v ridiculously high Blue stats in Space Age
