i agree neetox,

i get that newer gamers don't get our frustration yet

i started to play the game over 2 years ago and the events, postions and so were more fun and playable for all and not for the ellte few who spend tons of money to get far
i get that money paying costumers get an advantige but i don't support the fact that non-paying gamers don't get anywere
and yes, its once took skill to become strong and powerfull but now, sorry, but it doesn't, it takes a lot of money to do so now, not skill, not strategy or being smart, but purely your wallet.
i support the actions that are being taken richt now and i duely hope we can change things for every1's sake

i just replyed to this post is i find it rediciuolus that plarium keeps going with their "good news" campain while things are very different right now, that is all what i wanted to make clear

regards DES

Guys, I know that many of you miss the old days, old rewards, old Positions, old updates, etc. And it's normal. When you join the game, you stay there because you feel excited about it, you love it as it is. But you evolve, and the game evolves too. Sometimes you may not like certain updates or changes in rewards. But they are made to make your gaming experience more exciting. We make hardcore war strategy games. It shouldn't be easy to play them, right? 

alyona,

sorry to say but i believe you are truely ignorend about what is going on in the game

you don't even know how its played and and how long term actions go, as you said yourself, you never played in the open server, only test servers, so you know virtually nothing about the game nor its tactics (don't deny it, you said it yourself, i read every story, or fairytale in my eyes, you write down)

all you speak about is the hypotatical usuage of the game and not how it truely is played

my advice: play the game for half a year, without drachmas, on the public server and see how far you get with your "hardcore war strategy"

lol, i can say you this: not far at all

there are things that life can change everything, someday can be with nice people and one day no longer are with them and you are no one, but the experience is great, to have shared

All latest Sparta updates have one major goal - to make you a game addict, or at least to keep you occupied whole day 24/7, what means more money form them on the long run. Now you are even forced to come online every 3 hours because of amphitheather... it is true that you have more content and events, but gameplay is more unbalanced for little or non coiners... you can understand this, if you were playing Sparta for a long time.

For instance, if your big army is trapped at PP, as an addict or even as a serious gamer you can't wait few months to produce enough of the new units, so you are forced to buy drachmas. PP are designed in non transparent form on purpose, so another type of addicts -gamblers can find them challenging and addictive, but main purpose of PP is that you open your wallet and "pay the ransom" every time when your army is entrapped at PP. 

All game "improvements" are leading towards more and more monetization, but ironically Sparta became challenging in a funny way - that you continue to play and you try not to buy anything.You can still be competitive in few areas, like raids, sieges, team play... I think that more and more players will realize what Sparta is all about, but you can change your game goals and still enjoy to play it.

when I see this comes to my mind you alyona, basileus and your team trying to kidding with us. everytime that I saw your posted alyona they says the same

bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla I can't see another thing there

Basileus you are in the same way.
