I too would like to see the numbers. In my opinion they should be based on ratios of number of players at each level verses the number of balloons donated and the price of gems. Until the company Blue Byte does this the contests are not contests at all they are inventions to make the company money and to do that they must drain resources. I too will continue to make and donate balloons because I am not a quitter by nature. When they first announced a competition between servers I felt that there wasn't any way to make it equal or fair unless they used ratios and so far BB will not tell us how they figure the numbers; do they have something to hide?
This event is going -exactly- the way they want it to. (they know what everyone has in stock, how many gem buildings have been bought, how many building licences have been used, etc)
The last worldwide event worked out similarly.
All we can do is decide to work with what we're given to get what they offer, or not.
LETS LOOK AT JUST A "SLICE" OF WHAT BB IS DOING WRONG WITH THIS EVENT:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
US GROUP... HAS 14TH/30TH grouped together
So assuming that if you were to create a balanced and fair combo of servers to compete with us (as well as others)... one server would be higher and the other would be the lower (Example: 15th/29th or 13th/31st), BUT NOT BOTH BEING HIGHER RANKED NUMBERS. If both were ranked higher than that would be like two 3rd place teams fighting against two 1st place teams. Obviously that would seem unfair right? BB would never do that right? Well... lets look at some of the groupings:
14th/30th (US)
----------------
8th/28th (both higher) GERMAN
11th/17th (both higher) GERMAN
12th/13th/38th (first two alone are both higher) RUSSIA
9th/24th (both higher) POLAND
10th/26th (both higher) POLAND
Looking at the groups mentioned above... they are obviously BOTH HIGHER RANKED than ours... so regardless of how BB spins this... those groups (based on performance) will always be higher ranked than us. There are other groups that are questionable (based on the fact they are nearly doing 4x better than the US server). Looking at this information... balanced is not a word that comes to mind. If you were to combine this list above along with the questionable groups, you are looking at more than 2/3rds of the groups being improperly balanced.
FAIR IS NOT WHAT WE GOT, BALANCED IS NOT WHAT WE GOT. WHAT WE GOT ARE GROUPS BASED ON WHAT COUNTRY SERVER YOU ARE ON, AND THEN ARRANGED SO IT FAVORS LARGER MORE ACTIVE "GEM BUYING" SERVERS. ONCE AGAIN... MONEY RULES... WHILE THEY "PRETEND" TO CHAMPION THE SMALL GUY.
How do you expect to keep your players in this ever evolving day and age of multiple gaming choices when you lie to your players?
Ubi/BB need to address this. They need to either confirm or deny the pic is accurate and give us the exact dates of the sale. We can decide for ourselves if we feel slighted and how we want to handle it from there. This is not the first time I have heard the German server gets preferential treatment on sales and in other ways, but it would be disturbing for it to happen during a competitive event.
Well, thank you Boombastic2000! No wonder we cant get anywhere on this event! What a shame. Does not make you want to spend another dime to put in their pockets does it? Why would we spend money on speed ups during this event if we have no chance to win?
Thank you Asiastrings for having courage and the tenacity to do what is right! If they ban you I think a lot of people who know what is going on will quit, and for the most part those are the people who spend the money on Zeus server!
This should have been a great event but donating all our resources for balloons then donating the balloons for what the prizes are lame and the gem sale what a joke you want everything to be 20's well you should be selling more gems for the money bs how many you get for the price. I have spent a couple thousand on this game and i won't spend a dime more till this changes.
