There is a vast difference between sugar coating things and being ignorant, a distinction you prove time and time again that you don't understand. I was never whining, I said I fucked up. I do however believe that things like this need to be made more clear for those that don't know about them. Somehow you in your infinite wisdom turned that into whining.
As usual you turn every argument into one about spending. This has nothing to do with spending, it has to do with clarifying the rules. You state that people see the game is all about spending and quit. Well what do you think would happen if a new person figured out how to do an achievement, reached that goal and then lost out on the creds because they didn't understand they HAD to claim them immediately? The wording in the stats page is bad, not everyone clicks every single link on their home page and honestly even clicking that link doesn't have the wording that makes it obvious.
I have a question for you. If the spenders didn't exist do you think you'd be able to mouth off about how superior you are without spending? Or do you think Ray would dump the game because it didn't even pay for itself let alone turn a profit. I have been around CI games for over almost 5 years now, I have been a moderator on all the game forums, I have won most of them at least once (MC being the one I just can't seem to get past 2nd on) and I have seen people like you in every one of them. There are three types of non spenders. First are the ones that are genuinely grateful they are allowed to play without spending, they enjoy the game for what it is and understand it's a business and don't bitch that spenders have an advantage. There are the ones that complain about not being able to compete without spending but generally just try their best anyways. Then there are the ones like you, that have no clue whatsoever how business works, seem unable to comprehend that this game costs money to administrate, constantly berate and laugh at players that have the money to financially support the game for those that don't and finally have some sort of inflated sense of self worth and ability.
Talk shit out your hat all you like, the fact is you're insignificant here. People don't agree with you because 99% of what you say is the same ignorant rhetoric that is so wrong that even those that don't spend don't agree with you. Try reading and understanding what other people are saying and maybe you'd finally get it, but somehow I doubt that's gonna happen.
@Jeremy - It's all good bro, yah coulda messaged the noob lol, but ain't the end of the world
@Big Bang - On the contrary, I have enough experience leading forums to see people like him as what they are in a hurry. You'd be amazed at how carefully he chooses his words to be insulting, and he does it so he can cry innocence later on.. "oh but I didn't mean it that way". Trust me, the first time I see him flame someone else in this manner he'll be gone from the forums and I am not nearly as forgiving as Danny is, he won't be back if I ban him.
