o look another coiner update to force you to buy sketches so you can make troops stronger which would only be for the insane coiners cause the amount of sketches you need for level 23 already is insane

You missed the point, I'm afraid

It is not to increase our army's strength.
It is only to increase coiner's army strength

Sketches have driven a permanent wedge between coiners and non-coiners.

Sketches have set a hard cap on the development of non-coiners - we will never benefit from future construction and lost art upgrades.

We can win a tiny number of sketches from selected development tournaments, but need to spend dozens of boosts to get any tournament points, which completely defeats the point of competing.

We need sketches to be added to all tournaments (including league tournaments)

As predicted ....

Another worthless EPIC Development Race Tournament just appeared

Hopeless rewards and NO SKETCHES

Nice timing plarium, just to show ya dont care

all in the name of balance right? oO

It may come down to something as simple as losing players.

If the cost to compete becomes too high, you start to look elsewhere to spend your time and money.

$60+ for 1,000 sketches - Is about $40 higher than what many would be prepared to pay.

Plariums current "Special Offers" one is $205 and of course contains no Sketches. The other is $105 has no sketches and more than 50% below the $200 offer. Pay 50% less, get 75% less for your money.

Of course "everyone" has a stray $200 to throw at a game, two or 3 times a month (just to stay competitive against the many coiners), which creates an even opportunity playing arena - Don't they?

I wonder - If the $200 offer was $100 and the $100 offer $50 - Would more people find the money to spend (I would), therefore increasing overall sales for Plarium...

Lords and Ladies, we add new Items to the Tournament rewards from time to time, including the Items available at the Market. Apart from Tournaments, Sketches can be obtained at the Black Market.

Please bear in mind that there are many ways to earn Sapphires in the game. They are a very important in-game Resource that can be used to purchase different Items and Units. That is why we made sure our players have enough opportunities to earn them in Tournaments, Quests, Achievements, Hamlets, etc.

Additionally, according to players who have already used Sketches for upgrades, there are enough opportunities for you to get this Resource.

The community is tired of the coining updates. Either fix it or lose the community. I'd suggest the first option as the second option is fast approaching.

Eugenia Misura said:

Lords and Ladies, there are several options for getting Sketches and they are available for all players. Plus, new levels can give you good bonuses.

Foe example, if you have ever had your build queue taken out by an unexpected raid, you may appreciate being able to revive some of your Offense. In this case upgrading of Infirmary is a good idea. However, if this upgrade has no use for you, you can pass it by.

You should be ashamed of yourself for being called a human being. We are human being treat us as such. Just show a little emotions. Stop copying and pasting, its making you look bad. You are already bad. 

I curse the day I met these game, I curse the day I signed up for these utter incompetence. 

Most of the people who are here everyday complaining get to deal with these firsthand, the quieting, the complains, the pillaging, the blacklisting and fillings of bankruptcies

worse is having to deal with a coiner who see it fit to raid and kill your level 8 neophyte. With negotiations turning into you being killed yourself

Eugenia; I'd suggest you stop just repeating the Plarium "we make it so everyone can compete", rhetoric (language designed to have a persuasive or impressive effect, but which is often regarded as lacking in sincerity or meaningful content). And get in touch with the community you represent, find out why so many don't see these kinds of updates as anything more than money grabs for Plarium.

Sure Plarium is a business and every business wants to make a profit, rightly so, but you can make a profit buy selling your product at a price that doesn't exclude such a large portion of your customers..

I'm not saying that it's easy. No, you should participate in the Tournaments, win rewards, collect Sapphires and only them you can get Sketches. It's far from easy, but it's a possible goal to achieve.

Your new Elite Tiers have made it impossible for non-coiners to win sapphires from tournaments

We need a fairer tier system for players over level 60

It is much easier for a level 51 player to win sapphires than it is for a level 61 player

This screenshot will amaze you all - http://prntscr.com/e0mqy9

Why is it unfair, Lady Snowgoon? You're getting into particular Tier depending in results that have been shown in previous Tournament. Thus, you can repeat the same result in similar conditions.

It is extremely unfair because we are placed in the same tiers as highest level coiners

But you already know this because we have explained it many times (with screenshots)

I am level 60 on Untamed so should NEVER see higher levels in My Tier (level 51 - 60), not unless they level-up during the tournament anyway

http://prntscr.com/e17mdm

Also, My Tier only rewards top 20 and the amount of sapphires available is pitiful

Dear Plarium,

can you make it to where you can upgrade the black market? and with each time you upgrade it, it decreases the cost of all items by 25%

Dear Eugenia

More cut/paste answers, copied from plarium's script?

It is much cheaper to buy the stupid resources than to buy the sketches

but why buy either when there are over 700 bot castles waiting to be raided?

You shot yourself in the foot didn't you?

Allowing bots to breed like rabbits has made this game too easy for everyone, so we dont need no stinking sketches

We need our sapphires for castle walls, legendaries and improvements. Some crazy players even use them for unit revival, so we cannot waste our sapphires on sketches
Even the big coiners refuse to buy sketches until you give them 30% discount
They are far too expensive

You need to permanently reduce the cost of sketches and make them available in more tournaments, especially league tournaments like the Legue XP Tournaments

It is the only way to save this game from total collapse

Dear plarium 

Atleast there is a developer out there that really care, a developer out there that just last year made over $47,365,290 in the USA (10.9% profit) + $386,311,893 89.1% (worldwide) on a movie. I bought 5 tickets just to whatch that movie 5 times,and they didn't stop there, they instead of running away with all the money bags, invested in their game turning the highest ranking MMORPG hardcore game into a free to play. Long live Blizzard/Atlas/Universal production.

As for Plarium, I will continue playing these meritocracy game, just to see it die. I will never-ever pay for anything on these F***game. I was just about to chip in my monthly 9 $ into these game when they introduced those stupid upgrades. I will pull the plug on all plarium games, except stormfall. No more, enough is enough.

 I never played with an alt. I respected and followed all the rules. I might have spend a fortune on these game but not that much, just there and there.

Should EUGENIA MISURA fail to debate me, on these points

1. ''Sketches can be obtained at the Black Market'' and how does it make the game fair/balanced

2. elaborate the ''ways to earn Sapphires in the game.''

3.  how any upgrade form 2015 '' made sure our players have enough opportunities to earn them in Tournaments, Quests, Achievements, Hamlets''

4. explain with proof how to earn ''enough opportunities for you to get this Resource.''

Should she fail to debate these points I demand she be fired. I respect her as a Player, but I have no respect for her/Plarium on the personal level. She must therefore earn my respect by debating those very utterances she dare to regurgitate.

I wish to debate all these points you have made. But first can you lay down the thesis for these point. These way I will be able to debate more easily. Just argue/explain what you mean by those highlighted sentences, and then explain why these make the game fair/balanced.

heard of rhetorical questions ? ..... cause that was one .... i see no benefit to average players even medium/casual coiners wont benefit from this (of course in long term the casual coiners will get there but it will be to late cause the super coiners killed there troops)

only super coiners benefit and the imbalance grows larger and larger ..... F*@# this 6th Feb im gone from this game its full of B.S .... fact is you ONLY make excuses and never admit there are MAJOR flaws in this game .... at least acknowledge the D.A.M flaws (lol would of been a great league name hahahah)

im done wasting my time here .... all i built was with NO money but only possible through the early days when settlements was here
