I don't get this logic. Features of the game are there for people to use. We all know the settings, so I've never understood how premium use can ever be considered 'abuse'.
because it provides an advantage that is absolutely insurmountable unless you resort to the same embarrassing tactics. it's not a feature that the game had it was implemented to make money which it has done wonders for tw.
just look at W118 you can literally noble a 100 point barb and pp it to 10k points in 1.5 days which again is not possible unless you resort to extreme PP abuse.
I don't know how you defend that unless you work for TW or do it yourself. Yes a good portion of those PP boosting would still win without it because they've been around longer and are better.
Just look at the start up difference in the non pp world on .co.uk there isn't a single player over 2K points and it opened the same day (albiet slower setting 2-1.5) but 118 has people with multiple villages because they are just buying resources and reducing build costs that unless you are one of them you are basically irrelevant in the world.
before pp market reduced build costs etc buying premium for a premium account made it easier to manage mainly through lower time to do tasks but kept resources/village times etc the same, there wasn't abuse then because it was still a level playing field.
i could start on w118 right now and drop 100s of dollars and in what a few days if that be ahead of any non pp abusing player that started the world when it opened.
I'd like a 'normal' world to come out once a year with reduced premium features, but but then again Classic pretty much covers that
literally found posts of jawjaw 2+ years ago saying that would never happen until 150 which at the time was around w104 i believe opening lolol. premium just rakes in too much money for it to go away now so the same pp abusers will just continue to farm and dump cash to stat pad wins and the occasional new player will figure things out and join in the pp abuse while the majority quit, but they'll make more money off of the 100 pp abusers than 10,000 regular players so it won't stop until there's only the whales. but it doesn't matter someones said the same thing before me and somone will say it after and it's been said hundreds of times for years, but in the end pp=money and thats all that matters. and basically you are just saying you don't make money so go play this 1 world while we pump out multi pp enabled worlds because we don't give a crap if you aren't dropping $$$$
you could take the most skilled player only giving him regular premium, am, fa and pit him 1v1 against the most average pp abuser and the pp abuser wins every single time and it's not close because the pp user is dropping tens or hundreds of thousands of PP.
it's not just TW, but video games in general, anything EA puts out like their sports games, COD went through a phase and at least battle passes are the new standard, imagine if cod sold gun packs for $250 that gave you guns that did 10x the damage of any standard gun, plenty of people would buy it and they'd make a killing you'd either have to join in or quit the game because at that point it's no longer skill sure some person who has never played a shooter or sucks at that would still lose often because they can't aim but now the average player with a 250 dollar gun is going to embarrass top level players if they run standard equipment.
/end negative rant
