The reason I'm still playing the game is because I'm addicted. My guess is i wont last to the end if the year if the game keeps heading the way it has recently. There are too many negatives. When i started years ago if i played smart, i could do well. I read up on every event and planned accordingly. I like strategy games. I never had to ask anyone to take unfair trades though a leader wanting me to have the traz cause i was doing gvg, traded me the needed goods cause i was to low an age to get them. I got the event buildings totally leveled except once cause i was prepared. There were no ads, no gbg, no easy aiding. One had to enter cities to aid and check out gbs. My efforts were rewarded. Now, there's too many issues. Gbg is a greed fest. The player rewarded is the one who does only sc supported sectors. Not the one that is able to go to higher attrition cause they took the time to get the right buildings. They decreased diamonds for ge while still allowing so many diamonds in gbg. Some are sacrificing diamonds for SCs while others are making tons. Gvg cant be done on mobile, and despite what some believe, not all of us have internet so can't play on PC. We haven't had internet for years now. To expensive when only used for one game by one person. There are now things you can't get without spending real money. Events are getting harder to get the main event building fully leveled. Still not sure the St Patrick's day event was worth it. Why would i encourage anyone to play a game that not only has pages of negative comments, but is headed toward being pay to win, and doesn't even do little things like moving the tavern ad, let alone fix gbg before coming out with something new. I kind of wonder if any game like this one can truely be a strategy game since decisions are made not based on what makes the best strategy game but what brings in the most money.
