Who really reads these posts?

thats what I wonder, my roommate made a comment on AT's and their cost, and I can't even find that post now!!! was it deleted? hoping what was was not listed is forgotten? I know wolf359 was discussing it with her on this forum, but who really needs to be contacted?

I still think AT's are atrociously overpriced! I use my CC to buy resources, as does GP, but we won't buy AT's. I am sitting still waiting for my AT's to build to raid more, as is she. But we are both about done with spending real money on this game! If the owners of this game want to make more money in RL from us, they are going to have to do better than they have lately.

As a raider myself, it is no longer profitable to buy AT's with UU stolen from inactive accounts, nor is is it a fair gain to even try to buy AT's on the market! Far to much work to get a small profit and continue witout adding resources from RL.

my rant...

Note: my alliance nor do my affiliates have anything to do with this rant, just me. They have nothing to do with this nor do they know.

I have nothing more to say about this atm, but I will make sure this topic stays first page till I am banned, for making the a honest statement.

Why should AT's cost so much, it is only profitable if you are already huge and make the naq needed...no help for the little guys (which I have have ALWAYS stuck up for) I am not huge, far from it, I am a medieum sized player, but try my hardest to help others in need. I can no longer do that as I am barely able to help officers now, whats up with that?

I'm assuming you're looking for this:

viewtopic.php?f=13&t=112801

As for AT prices themselves, for a small account (such as mine) they seem somewhat high, but that's not really the point. ATs are simply far too available at the moment and any who wants them can get them quite easily.

Also, it's much easier to buy ATs with naq stolen from inactive accounts as opposed to UU :wink: .

indeed go farm to fill bank and buy ATs a few times
then you have a ton of turns
the have a raid fest til you get about 1000-1500 ATs left and farm to get more turns

Almost38 you should get a warning for spamming or something, posting that is just stupid.

Attack prices if you buy them through the in game system with $$ will always be more expensive then buying off players. The Admin knows that trying to compete with players would only crash the value of resources in game vs $$. The reason attack prices are so high is because people are using them to raid/farm. That means raiding is profitable. That means you have to go spend the time to find the targets.

Maybe I am in the wrong trade?

I'm not sure how it's not profitable for you.

Currently, with 1k turns, I can farm the 135b or so they cost and still raid about 200k - 250k UU depending on my targets. And 90% of the people I hit would be inactives.

I generally aim for targets who have over 200k UU out and raid them down to about 160k - 170k.

Are you 7? Are you illiterate? Every single post I read of yours makes me think you're an idiot.

Oh, and yeah, AT prices are just meeting demand.. people will pay 140b or 170k UU for 1k turns, so people will sell for that much. If everyone stopped buying AT's that wouldn't happen, but It won't so get used to it.

try sgw's black market for a 50$ you can buy around 40k at's. If raided properly you can get around 4 times the ammount in $ back

Then problem would be to hold the ATs with account limit...

Nope, if you buy AT's off the in-game cash market the 10k limit does not apply.
