Sorry Max. I didn't say, I only play on W1 where skills cannot be bought.
That's a good point you made about the 'purse' though. It does seem a little too 'real life' though for Inno. Remember this game has gone from being one of - if not THE - flagship game for them, to being a backwash that they no longer seem to be interested in selling to the general public.
I admit that I was mostly griping because too many times, I see these 'real duellers' bragging about all the wins they have in their duels, when in reality, about 90% of those wins were against people wearing work-clothes who had little to no chance of defending themselves and giving the dueller a 'good fight'.
I accept that that is part of the game, but it just annoys me so when they say something like '90 wins - all KO - zero defeats'. Yeah? I donned my duelling gear and fought one of these people and guess what? I
won!
It's like every walk of life though, you have your good eggs and your bad eggs. But I digress.
The best way to get more people into the game, the best way to get more people for the duellers to
fight is to
ADVERTISE! But they don't seem to be interested in that anymore. So the only way new players will join this game is through word-of-mouth or if they happen to stumble upon it by accident.
I agree that the whole duelling-system is messed up. The more they try to 'fix' it, the more of a mess they make of it.
Many suggestions have been put forward on how to make the game better, how to make duelling more fun for those who enjoy it, but they fall on deaf ears.
Suggestions get forwarded to the dev's only for them to say, "Yeah, put it on the pile." while they come up with the next big thing for Grepolis and FoE.
By the way, I did say that I could be wrong about my previous post.
