Don't let CR's guide become an end all for you. Recurring quests are great for keeping things happening while you're trying to reach some objective. But stopping your game to RQ endlessly without an objective in sight means you have stopped playing the game and started chasing your tail. FOE is one big learning experience. I don't believe finding ways around the "learning by experience" opportunities is a good thing in the long run.You still can’t focus on the point. You CANT provide a better guide. So stop judging others that can actually do that.
You wanna start this again i guess. But before you acting like a knowledge instructor, take a look at my city at W world. I didn’t follow CR’s guide completely, I learned from it and picked the good parts from it. But new players don’t know better, giving them a solid model is way better than letting them think out of their own ways. And among all these guides, CR’s guide is most effective ( yes, I’m pointing at you, HQ) for beginners. Out of topic, I find it’s quite funny a guy who decide to camp in EMA has the right to claim he could make a better guide than CR.Don't let CR's guide become an end all for you.

The one trick I learned recently and found useful is to build and tear down the buildings I win as prizes in GE but will never build. I have 10 farms in my inventory, for crying out loud.
This is useful when you need to collect coins or supplies for a quest and none of your buildings producing these resources is set to deliver soon. Build the farm, then tear it down (you don’t need to wait for it to be completed), and instantly turn it into X coins and X supplies.

I started playing this game last summer, and I followed CR’s guide and get 2.8milion points, top 144 in W world. And you played for 3 years following your “better” guide and got 3.2 million points l, top 973 in your main world. Not mentioning all the other world’s ranking( they are hilarious). Your total GB level is 106, 1/3 less than mine (which is 136). I don’t want to pull out CR’s rank and the level since he left the game already but I believe it’s still way higher than yours even after about 1 year inactive.You should learn to research better. I have 7 cities. Four of them are in EMA, however, out of my 7 cities, six of them were created in September and October of 2017. Only two of them (the two created in September) have been in EMA longer than 3 weeks (and one of those is now LMA). Hardly camping.
My main, nearly 3 YEARS old, is in PME. Why 'only' PME after 3 years? Go read LacLongQuan's thread about OF goods. Why rush when you just get stuck at the end.

BUT you COULD make better guide IF you want. I have faith in you
We shouldn’t talked about this here no more since it’s off topic. However, you just said yourself you spent 1 month longer to get less points compared to mine so all the things you say doesn’t prove that your way are better anyway. But if you want to keep claiming it, I suggest you open a new thread so we can talk about it thereI see once pointed in a direction, you can find information.
Unfortunately, the database only gives general stats and not details. I began playing in Spring of 2015- in a game that was much slower than it is now. Events were rare, the Arc and other powerful GBs had not been released. In August of 2015, I changed careers. From September 2015-February 2017, I worked 70-90 hour work weeks. I logged on and collected things daily, but did little with the game. I learned a lot, but didn't have time to cultivate it. Around April/May of 2017, I decided to start giving the game more time. At that point I was already in PME. All of my GBs had been maxed at 10 and I didn't have extra BPs because I wasn't always aiding due to my lack of time. I deleted some GBs (all of them ranked at 10- including my Zeus which I have since rebuilt). I didn't reach 1,000,000 points until May. So, from May through now, I've more than tripled my ranking points- without moving up an era. That means the vast majority have come from GBs alone since I am not a fighter (although I have started fighting some of the GE at times.)
In September, I decided to start a new city to play with strategy. I ended up opening several- because I like experimenting and trying new ideas. Following a guide is not fun at all. This is a STRATEGY game. If you take the strategy out, it ends up being less appealing than Candy Crush or similar games. Some strategies I give up on quickly. It is all about learning and tweaking. My city in Z is still in BA. I hate blacksmiths and would like nothing more that to delete them all, but that would be going against the strategy I'm experimenting with. I want to level all current-era GBs to 10 before moving on (but skipping the Colosseum, ND, and possibly a few others.) My Zeus is already at 10. My ToB is over halfway to 9. It won't be long now.
My trick is to have fun playing my own way.
Play for fun?!?! How in the heck am I supposed to quantify that?

And thinking can end up with building unboosted goods building and buys FE goods by FPs then trade downYep, I agree. After all, my guide forces them to think.
See? I told you guys that CR's followers were a cult! "Can't let these people think for themselves, gotta do it for them." Otherwise they might end up enjoying this game and then where would we all be?But new players don’t know better, giving them a solid model is way better than letting them think out of their own ways.
Quite funny it’s from someone who keep shutting down other guys’s ideas. Anyway, this whole thing is off topic. Keep saying that cult crap however you want I’m done hereSee?

Bad ideas, yes. Although I don't aspire to the lofty status of being able to "shut down" anything, I'm pretty sure that role is reserved for the moderators and staff. I do support good ideas, it's just that there are so many bad ones proposed in comparison to good ones that is appears to the casual observer that I am a constant naysayer.Quite funny it’s from someone who keep shutting down other guys’s ideas.
