Thank you for your feedback, Ivan. I'd like to clarify some points here:
Main Sinc facebook page runned by admins who have only one purpose brainwash and milk every customer until he quit. They insult inteligence, they troll, they don't answer polite asked question, they delete threads, kick you from page...
If you notice such behavior in our official group, you can always contact Victor Voight with screenshots, and this case will be investigated.
They deny every customer feedback regarding fixing bugs, suggestions of like 80% of users for improving game mechanics.
Player feedback is passed to game developers on a weekly basis. As for the suggestions, it was mentioned more than once that we have too many suggestions now. We had to limit their flow for now until we finish with those that came first.
Nowdays balance with spenders vs regular players is non-existent if ever was. Buy buy buy spend spend spend, loose and revive, win so called "rewards" where you can't be in any profit if you calculate win loss ratio.
Each and every player can reach TOP positions. That, however, requires a lot of time, Resources, Units, and considerable effort. Alternatively, you can use a special Resource - Diamonds - to develop your Base and increase military power to dominate the map. Everyone can get Drachmas for free simply playing the game actively, i.e. participating in Tournaments, capturing Repositories, completing quests and Achievements, etc.
Some players decide in favor of in-app purchases to save time. It allows them to progress a little faster. Our game is free-to-play, and like any other game of this type it gives all players free access to all game features and an opportunity to accelerate their progress with in-app purchases. It is not unfair that players taking this route, thus supporting the development of the game, enjoy certain advantages. Again, all these advantages may be summarized in one word - time. It takes less time to advance, but does not change the core of what every player needs to do to develop their Base and grow military power. Moreover, there is a number of in-game limits so no one player can dominate an entire server. Therefore, when we develop a new feature, we make sure it will not negatively affect the game balance.
Yet another thing to consider is the social aspect of our games, which is extremely important. We want our players to unite in Combined and build Alliances to become stronger. We understand that it is hard to compete against stronger players -- it has always been, in any game -- and that is why we pay so much attention to various Combine activities and give players an opportunity to unite against a stronger enemy. If you have any suggestions as to how this part of the game can be improved, we will be happy to hear from you.
And who put that Adam Fulton as facebook official page admin. That person is insult for common sense...
