Yeah I used to be able to get a few mercs every few hours but now I can't get any, lucky if there are 0 mercs, its usually minus.

I think it`s because of the high demand and because of your location or bandwidth, not sure how this works?

But i can get mercs everytime i need them... i just need to be there when the turn changes.

simple? because they don't want anyone else to have the mercs? this IS cheating in my eyes, and i'd like to see someone punished for this :)

what you could do is sit there at 29 mines and 30 seconds, count down till the 30 min mark and thgen buy out when it hits 30.1 seconds and then there you go you got ur self some mercs

Are you stat stupid? They ARE NOT talking about the 30 minute restock. They ARE talking about mercs disappearing as soon as they are sold at other times. Please for the love of god, LEARN TO READ!

if someone is clicking constantly then its legit its a tactic

But if its a script or bot then thats against the rules

If you need mercs just be online at the turn change :)
never fails (Almost always)

It takes awhile to get the hang of how to get them but once you figure it out you can get them every single time.

Yea that used to work for me mate, quite well too.
i dont see it as exploiting a bug or anything but if so tell me someone so i can change my ways

however, recently when i've tried it ive not only failed to get any (which is rare) but ive actually had the naq dissappear as if spent, but i get no mercs for my 'purchase'.

i knew i should ask for a reciept...

yer i used too do the stick papper in the gap too hold the enter button down too raid uu while i make a coffee.
how would they know the difrence between a clicker prog and doing that ?

for mercs i supose they should make the page goto something else after 1 purchase as i cant see sales being a prob

Or make the merc market more like the ingame market.
you get allowances per (day/)week (merc turns) and for xxx naq u can buy xxx mercs. you chose the type.

MTs could be converted to Merc Market Turns

eitherway the current system isnt working
is this a idea worth making a thread on?
