You're the first person to complain about gems. Since you brought it up I really think they're going to change their gem policies. Thanks for your help!

I actually disagree, I think the prices are pretty fair... And of course people who donate are going to have advantages over people who don't... otherwise what's the point? You should be glad you don't play Crime City, their rates are absolutely terrible. 500 gems for 5.00 is pretty decent.
Not entirely sure who that sarcasm laser was pointed at lol.Quote:

If their xbows took 14 days to complete it would not deter them, as everyone else's xbows would take 14 days also. The fact they have more time to play means they could farm more, upgrade quicker, and still be on a higher curve than everyone else.Quote:

But right now its still definitely in the growth stage so i cant see it happening any time soon.
Hang on. The OP states people who spend money on a game are schmucks. Yet, he tells us he has spent around 200£ on gems. I sense a disturbance in the force here!
Got the feeling you skimmed the thread and have actually no idea what my points are. A few others have fallen into a similar trap.Quote:

So who exactly is suffering here guys?
Well SC is a business and by definition needs to make money or they're not doing it right!
I just wonder what their profit margins are. They obviously need to pay their software developers and keep their servers up, after those expenses how are their profits? Are they larger than the HUGE profit margins a fast food restaurant makes off soft drinks, charging over a dollar for something that costs pennies? Do people complain about that?
Nobody stays on top forever. The top 10 companies in the world today are not the same top ten from 10 years ago. SC should make money now while they are popular, because it will inevitably not last forever...
...hmmmm...except for the gemmers with large disposable incomes...gems are like pennies:pQuote:
