As for the gem events, here is what gamers need to understand. Gree is a business, the goal of any business is profitability. The less we pay for stuff, they stuff they can generate. It's not as if they have unlimited resources. You should be THANKFUL they have these 5k gem events and that people spend so much for them, otherwise you wouldn't have a game to play. I agree it is a business aimed to make profits and reducing costs BUT they have made MORE than enough money and have not delivered on ANYTHING remotely interesting or new. The product this business puts out first of all has $0.00 cost and makes 100% profit. The only staff this business has is an artist for designing armors, 1 or 2 developers actually putting the sprites and updating wars and arena (which honestly does not take a long time) and 2-3 in customer support. I highly doubt their salaries leave the company completely broke, especially working for a iphone game.They have made a good chunk of money and we still have to deal with bugs CONSTANTLY.

Customers are being cheated yet the constant spending every war and every gem event shows GREE that "hey, everybody loves what we are doing since they are still spending A LOT of money". So as much as I agree this game cannot exist without top guilds spending, the player base needs to take back the reigns and not let GREE get away with all these constant bugs, glitches and most importantly with taking away their money and delivering nothing in exchange.

First of all, your $0.00 cost statement is ridiculous. Please don't try and mock my business sense. This game costs money to produce, they have employees, server space, and bills to pay just like any other company. Even the small businesses have high overhead due to high cost in fees.

Now, as I said earlier. Anything constructive is more than welcome. Instead of wasting that nicely written statement trying to refute what I said while mocking Gree. You could have actually come up with an idea.

Also. THE RAID BOSSES ARE BRAND NEW!!!! How many times does this need to be repeated??? They introduce new armors, epic bosses, arena tournaments, and wars weekly.

Now, I am just stating the facts, again, as I said earlier, are there improvements that need to be made? Yes. But in order to do that we first to have an actual idea of how they operate and what their motives are. Let's just clarify that GREE is a HUGE company that makes money from many many many other things. It is a huge internet media company. So they can handle their overhead costs without any problem and have already established servers all around the world since that is their job. I should have clarified before that this game is actually created by Funzio which is owned by GREE. Funzio (whom btw made $5m in sales per MONTH before Gree bought it) the smaller business is making A LOT of money  from this game and when they show their reports to GREE, it shows as a big success because people are spending A LOT of money on this game but none of it is used to ACTUALLY improve the game. You want specific changes that need to be made fine:

A) FIX ALL THE BUGS THAT OCCUR EVERYDAY!! It's either EB, or arena, or getting kicked from the app while ur playing. I lost an epic from the chest bcoz the game decided to update while I was opening 11 chests. War started late this week for example.

B) ADD MORE MAP CONTENT!! Now I know a lot of people have been asking for this for a long time

C) Add capes that boost an elemental bonus for an armor. Even if it is 1%, this will increase profits and cost dirt cheap. Btw ur telling me that an Armor, let's say Komodo actually costs something?? It has the same animation as Forgestone and Tectonic put together and it is just another design. The PRODUCT costs $0.00 and is 100% profitable. Customers decide what the cost of the armor is not GREE, sorry Iugo or Funzio. You are willing to pay $100 for it. They just made $100. Fixed costs is fixed costs for the company. They HAVE to pay for servers and they HAVE to pay their employees. I'm not stating that a company does not have costs. I'm saying their PRODUCT has no cost.

D) RAID BOSSES is new in the sense that "here is everything you do already, just all at once in 3 days against other guilds". They could make it so that the bosses have different elements, maybe have them rotate and the guild member with the best armor attacks and takes it down. Introduces team organization and some strategy to it. Make the levels like the EB 1-60 and ur guild has to see how far they can get.

For example a low level attacks the lvl 1-5 RB, another 2 low levels attack 5-10, HC and higher level com. attack 10-40, Champ, sent and GM attack the rest. Something like that.

E) How about changing the battle style to a more RPG element. If you look at the advertising in the app store or google play. U will notice that they state "epic rpg action" and have the knights lined up vertically as if they are able to choose their opponents for a better advantage on elements. Instead of a horizontal lineup that is based on very minimal strategy and ALL luck. The only strategy comes in with a elemental lineup predicting ur opponents lineup and that is destroyed when u miss 3-4 times in a row. Play Summoners War:Sky arena and u will see that they have done a better job at this.

It's about time people realize that u are being cheated out by this company. You pay to see improvements yet all i have seen is more crashing, more bugs, more glitches. When it happens people bitch SO MUCH about it on Facebook or the forums yet u see all that go away in minutes. If you love playing this game and have fun with all of it that is fine but open ur eyes a little.
