OK I have played a long time (first joined just before the end of the Beta Stage of the game) I am one of those who have only paid a little. I know people who spend nothing on the game and also others who do spend serious cash on it . Not because they have to do so to get anywhere, but purely because it a hobby. The game devs and those in Market Research NEED feed back from people all across the game spectrum. Those who do think they can spend their way through the game to succeed, do at some point end up against a brick wall purely because they have not taken the time to learn the actual game.Turns out I do like calculations. Here's one for all the people that have played for so long and paid so little, urging me to be patient. I can progress right through my current age research, level up my oracle to level 6, complete the statue of zeus and attack my neighbors for an estimated 28,000 diamonds. What luck, I see that there is a bonus pack of 29,000 for only $199.99. No patience required.
In my journey through this game (and for a short time Elvenar as well) I have made friends and shared knowledge and asked for and received help and advice when I needed it. I have also on a couple of occasions ended up getting through support to discuss a problem with one of the devs which resulted in a program glitch that effected Elvenar and FoE getting sorted. So the game is genuinely open and fluid in a way that others are not. I honestly am not trying to put you down or tell you you are stupid. But all your answers just let me see that you really are not getting it at all. You have decided that YOU have it all figured out, YOU do not need help or advice. Almost as if no other viewpoint but yours may be considered. No-one - but no-one, whether they have just started playing, or who has been playing for years, have done so with out asking for advice on things that have them stumped.
To get the most out of the game you need to join a guild that has experienced leaders, who have been there and done that. And who are more than happy to help others. That is the only way the game will open up for you (or for anyone) I still ask for help and come here for advice. I know the others do also. The guys on these forums will also help you willingly. But not if your answers continue to be dismissive and border on the derisive. You need to stop being so blinkered. You will get back as good as you give and you will not win because they genuinely do know more than you on the subject of this game.
