[Thud_]

Thanks! Love numbers like these

 

[SiuYin]

And there are some 35 players joined the game after Dec 2017. And

5 from AE VIETNAM
2 from GÀ CÁI BANG
2 from Old School
2 from Viet Nam Team

TinSoldier , could I say Viet Nam people got some good way to level up?

 

[Quovatis]

14 total alliances with 30+ CWA! That's really sad, and explains why wars are so repetitive. The time it takes to get to CWA is far too long.

I bet the number isn't huge even if you include AA. My alliance is in the bottom half of the leaderboard, and I believe we only have 25 AA/CWA players.

 

[Quagmire]

Thanks for posting this. Really interesting.

 

[GailWho]

Interesting stats. Thanks for putting the. Together for us

 

[QuébecGlory]

Great stats, thanks. Chosen nations don't surprise me. So many CWA split between so many alliances does. I would lose interest being the only CWA, I would think.

But what blows my mind is the amount of players who reached CWA (from scatch) within, let's say, the last 6 months. It took me 3 years, playing everyday, and investing more money than I'd like to admit. I can't imagine doing it in less than 6 months.... legit.

 

[SiuYin]

If we look into playing time, we see that 90% of CWA joined 2 years ago, if we extend the scope to include player joined 1.5 year to 2 year, it will cover 95% of CWA player.

I wont say CWA players who joined the game less than 1 year are all cheaters, but I believe most of them are not that legit.

It shows 2 things
1. Upgrade time is too long,
2. Nexon doing bad in scanning cheaters

 

[Kaiser Shag]

I'm currently CWA lvl 240 and I started the game in July 2015. When I see that they are players who are at the same stage but after less than 1 year of playing I think only about 2 words: Cheating or Pay2Win.
Also the upgrade times become very long, Nexon is making discounts every week on bulding or unit costs, but they never do discounts on the most important thing, the building time. I don't care if I have to pay 13 million gold for a building or 9 million, gold and food are easy to get by farming weak players without any loss, but I do care about the building time, if I would have 7 days instead of 14 without having to pay with crowns that would be great ...
The only case where discounts on ressources are usefull it's when it concerns oil or wall costs.

 

[Quovatis]

No, that's pay to advance, and that's fine. Pay to win means the game structure is such that wars are won by who buys the most premium cards, not who has the most skill.

 

[QuébecGlory]

I totally agree with Quovatis, paying to upgrade faster just means you will play against stronger opponents, and that's fine. But playing against EA and bazooka towers that's pay to win

 

[Manifesto]

I don't think you can make a blanket statement that it takes two yrs to reach CW ''because upgrade times are too long''.
Yes upgrade times ARE long but reaching CW was not a goal of players 2 yrs ago or even 1 yr ago. Back then we all just played the game at our own speed.
If someone specially wanted to reach CW in the shortest possible time they could rush through all the ages and get here quicker IF that was their intention.

 

[SiuYin]

Manifesto
leave my post and enjoy your solo game

 

[SiuYin]

I don't see the difference between buying troop card and buying upgrades
both are pay to win.

For player perspective, P2W is nothing wrong, but for a game company, they need to keep a balance for money advantage.

Back to the point upgraded into CWA within 1 year or even half year, if not 100% cheater, it will be at least 90% of them are cheater

 

[Manifesto]

Now that I know you can't make logical conversation, I will.

 

[Mcnasty]

So because they have the money to spend that makes them cheaters? Your logic is flawed.

 

[GailWho]

This game is fundamentally about time and perseverance, you either spend hours raiding and watching the clock tick down on upgrades or you spend money to bypass it and get it instantly. Some people have the time to play many hours a day, some people don’t. Some people have the patience to wait weeks for an upgrade, some don’t. When you grind for hours on end you develop a level of skill that cannot be reproduced by paying for it. This is where the troop cards and extra buildings come in. Having these available for purchase negates the need for skill to win the game. Anyone can train herds of elephant archers and trample any base at will. Paying for the upgrade isn’t necessarily pay to win as you are just substituting money for time. When buying cards and buildings you are subituting money for skill. Hence the term PTW.

The question is, how much money did it take to build a base from Dawn to CWA in a matter of a few months and then purchase all of these items in order to be able to win because they lack the skill? I know how much I’ve paid to get my base from dawn to CWA in 3 years, I can only guess how much money it would take to do it in 6 months. And I’m not sure how many with a large bank accounts are willing to fork over such a large sum to play an online game. According to these statistics there are 59 of them. With the enourmous amount of cheating in this game, what are the odds that any one of those 59 accounts made legitimate purchases of the hundreds of thousands, possibly million dollars needed to accomplish this? You be the judge.

 

[SiuYin]

roughly speaking, 1crown will give you 2xp
2mil xp(road give another 500k) required for cwa

1mil crowns required if not cheating

Upgrading from global to atomic in a week with cash doesn't equal better performance in ww. You opponent level will also go up. But if the same global puts the same money in EA and bazooka towers, he has a huge advantage in ww vs other global players of the same level, because these purchased extras do not raise the level of your opponent.
