It seems like eRep is changing drastically.
After the introduction of legends and the hit bonuses that they give,
big spenders are becoming more powerful than everybody else.
With the introduction of special tanks and bonuses that they gave in the
last tournament and will continue to give in the following ones, eRep is
furthermore rewarding big spenders by giving them hit boosting in battles.
Epic battles especially in Div 4 seem to be rarer than diamonds these days,
making impossible for regular players to catch up with the big ones or even
maintaining their accounts at a decent level.
Weapon prices go down making weapon companies lose money.
Food prices go down making food production profitable only to players with
multies for workers.
Raw material prices go down making raw material production worthless financially.
If this continues it will be impossible to even maintain your account
if you don`t spend real money in the game.
It seems that a regular player should buy at least 2 of the packs to have
enough energy regeneration and gold to buy energy bars to consume in order
to get to the 500 points every week, since there are no more Epic battles.
Only wages and house prices go up simply because, through houses players
and multies can do extra work and gain cc.
Gold prices go down for the time being but that can change when the game
decides to change all medal rewards from gold to cc, making playing without
buying gold through gold packs or bonus packs extremely hard.
The free ride is over folks.
It's not pay to win anymore, it's pay to play !!
I guess the end of this game is closer than ever
(at least of the game as we used to know it).
It's the end of the game as we know it and i feel fine...

Point is, there is another game played at the top players level, as they are definitely "hooked" in game terms, they are catering whales in expense of others as there is no newcomer flock.
So, it is already a lost battle and cause to catch top players. Game is now tailored to make you spend for no reason other than keeping progress which also has no viable outcome. People fight in battles they couldn't care less (beside CO) because they have to fight to sustain their pointless progress.
And for economy, apparently many of high str players doesn't even care about economy. A homoeconomicus approach to game would be first ensuring a sustainable personal income and then pursuing a fighting career. But some people are simply fighters, apparently training is free after certain level.
Now there are some elements (not gaming elements but literal ones like titanium and magnesium) that I am not sure where to lead.
If a lower division player doesn't buy the infantry kit he will be leveling up to a different division very soon my friend
That`s pack No 1 he has to buy each month.
He will need a second pack just to have x2 energy bars or/and buy them
in game with gold
That's pack No 2
If the game makes all medal bonuses cc, the demand in gold that will be
generated will take gold prices up to at least 600 cc in a few months
Imagine if they change all the gold that multies get from leveling up to cc too
The price of gold can easily go back to 1000 cc
What this article is saying is that the game has taken a definitive turn in it's play style
Before you needed to pay to be one of the top players
If nothing changes you will need to pay just to be able to play this game...
I agree, but that is situation of new players for like 5 YEARS, and divisions and ghostly boosters have helped fight with that (but new division has killed the reason why new players played, along with my engagement in game - earlier new players were able to do a lot, even without fighting - using bazooka, rockets, GF's etc., now they are just as full of cancer as div 4).
The only thing that has changed from the new player golden era is:
-new divs
-IK
New legendary batalions have just ruined D4, something that doesnt affect the new players.
Battalions and non-IK-packs have ruined the economy - as TPs get easier and easier to get by mastercards, thus they HAD to be changed to CC just to not generate millions of gold, and still be rewarding.
The fact that they still generate CC, and not for example energy bars directly will make gold harder and harder to come by, but RAW/TANK/WORK prices will go up and up so it will (kinda) balance each other out (that is - from the new player point of view, company owners may have smaller and smaller investment profit as companies cost more 'in CC' and have to generate a lot more CC to pay for the gold that they were created with.
It is Plato himself trying to fix (new divs) and monetize (IKs), as well as new-linear ranks (!!!) with extra bonuses (!) that have ruined everything.
Remove IK, bring back new divs (or create 5divs just to not make everyone mad), change TP to energy bars or something like this, and make uber-rank go semi-exponentially like they always were.
Thats for start. Then making more weapon Q's viable, and planning rockets damage well (or maybe GB-based? Based on average of TOP10 person per div etc.?).
Then after ruining all 'cool toys' for the Whales you have to bring stuff back - costly stuff that can change the war. Like Q6/Q7 houses giving you extra hp/6min - they could both be something that only the biggest RL spenders could use on regular basis, but at the same time saving the econ
Thats funny how high work prices and ghost boosters are the biggest things pro-new-players, and you pull out things from the 6 months ago+.
IMO tanks with damage boosts or ranks giving you bonus for NE fights arent the big deal.\
The big deal is that all ranks over X cost 10mln rank more than previous one. Their cost dont go exponentially, but liberally. As IIRC this ranks still give +5% base, and bonuses from tanks and top-ranks (NE bonuses) all increase rank, from some point you get ranks FASTER and FASTER, instead of slower and slower. And each rank gives you a lot of damage to TP as well, and fighting in TP generates money.

In general I agree with the article. o7
It is possible to get a steady income with medals without buying any packs (I never bought a pack).
It is not an exiting playing style, but go for freedom fighter and mercenary medals and ignore BH medals. So no need to stay in your division. Bazookas are a good friend now to get the desired kills. Ghost boosters really help getting the 75 kills but do not spent energy bars. Save all you can get to get 2*energy asap after day change.
As for getting the 500 points fast each week buy all the houses. (Q1 house should be on always because you can work twice each day and are giving profit.) When you are on 2*energy you need to save energy at 11.40 hours AM each Monday. (You can use all the energy there is on that for MM or FM.) Log in 3.25 hours later and fill your energy. Your Q2, Q3, Q4 and Q5 house you set on at 6.40 AM. (You can start with one and do a second one some time later to save some houses, but for that you must be on on several times.) Refill your energy & do not spent any energy. Be on just before day change otherwise your energy will not be filled totally (because after day change time for getting before is seen as 1*energy).
After day change do not wait for an epic just fight for FM and MM's. Switch off your Q2, Q3, Q4 and Q5 house just before they are in a new hour. Use all your energy bars you have to get 500 points and 2*energy asap.
This is the dull way I play this game without spending any real life money and still having a good income.
You are right.
That is the only way left to play without real money
If they change all medal rewards to cc instead of gold
it will increase the demand for gold and weaken the supply
of gold in the monetary market.
That will lead to increased gold prices very rapidly.
Also the prices of houses continue to go up and it is quite doubtful
whether a player will have the money to buy them in the future..
In other words the way you play, is the only way left but i don't know
for how long it will last

IMO they CANNOT change all medals from CC to gold. Imagine all the SS.
Gold wouldnt cost 1k but 5k+, and the mass exodus would start.
Did they somewhere proposed/suggesterd all medals for CC?

αυτοι ρε εχουν ανοιξει καινουργιο σερβερ κι ας ριχνουν μπαν εδω σε οποιον το διαφημιζει, αυτο γιατι νομιζουν οτι θα μπαινει χρημα και στα δυο...... την ωρα δεν μας ειπαν ομως!!!!
το η ρεβελεσιον όντως δεν υφίσταται να μην είναι δικό τούς
είναι τόσο ίδιο με το ερεπ που το η σιμ μια ζει να είναι άλλο παιχνίδι
το παιχνίδι χωρίς πακέτα και χωρίς σκριπτακι δεν παίζετε ομαδικά
μόνο ατομικά για την πλάκα
γιατι σε μια μάχη όποιος έχει το παουερ πακ είναι ανώτερος σε έναν παίκτη που δεν το έχει
αρα δεν υπάρχει λόγος πια να ασχοληθείς με μάχη όπως παλιά
εαν το παιχνίδι σεβόταν το παίκτη τώρα θα έπρεπε το παουρ πακ να καταργηθεί
και να δώσει το δικαίωμα μέσω σπιτιών να έχεις το ρεκοβερ +10
γενικά όλα τα πακέτα θα έπρεπε να καταργήσουν η τουλάχιστον να βάζανε να τα παίρνεις και με χρυσό για να υπάρχει μια υποτιθέμενη ισορροπία στους παίκτες
η πλάκα είναι οτι υπάρχουν παίκτες που μιλάνε οτι το να δουλεύεις εσύ στις εταιρίες σου χαλάσανε το οικονομικό κομμάτι του παιχνιδιού
κατά μια πιθανότητα αυτοί οι παίκτες δεν μελετήσανε να παίζουν το παιχνίδι χωρίς λεφτά
