Because we have to. Because enemy does it. Because everybody does, because everybody has tons of gold, because there is so little players to use that gold, because game is so slow that new players get bored of it... We have circle here that game gets bored cause there is not enough players... or there is too much gold, you choose which.
I want this game to become more dynamic, to be more enjoyable for new AND the old players. I have made few suggestions... bad i guess cause all them got shot down pretty quickly...
Do you slowly starting to get the picture i try to paint?
Anyway, i see your point and understand the idea behind it. If it is really what people want this game to be... i can live with that... i just wish new people can do... but for now, it looks like they dont. Not saying this is The Reason for loss of players, but i can say it could be one reason why i would not play this game.
