"You described in details why the gold coins are needed so we can all play for free for ever and never need to purchase anything."
Show me where I said that?? You have me mixed up with someone else.
Romeo, I don't know who you were referring to as 'you are very smart indeed'. You are way out of line if you are referring to me. The perceived personal attack was uncalled for IMO.
You have no idea what type of risks I take, nor how many gold coins I purchase with US $$.
I respect your proposal, and it has some merit. I have no arguments against spending the game money I earn through my countries/CEO's to buy population and other necessities with. But just about everything is predicated on using gold coins for these things, plus the 30 GC's a month for CEO's, etc.
Nobody is asking for 'free money'. My hard work through my countries and CEO's made the game money that I

I am sorry, this was a reference to a differently worded text by Jo.
most staff can be bought for game money. weapons and ammunition too, that will allow you to conquer a country and win gold coins.
Other things, you need to pay for. nobody should think that you can pay your way through everything with what you earn in the game.
This was an error and they now partially fixed it.
they should get rid of more of these so called features that made people believe that they do not have to pay at all once they earn trillions in their countries and enterprises.
We must agree to disagree. but it looks like this decision was taken by Jozi. An engineer could not decide on this and I presume these are also their investors behind it.

Thank you for the response Romeo.
Yes, we will have to agree to disagree.
....and just like many other decisions that are made by various GM's, there are consequences, both intentional and unintentional.
The unintentional consequences in the gold coin decision will be monumental in the loss of paying players.

or do you mean premium members who used to earn so many gold coins they never needed to pay for anything.
I hope they have many premium members every month who are willing to support them and who will not be lead to believe that everything is for free.
Otherwise I am afraid it will be curtains for Simcountry.
Every time there is a serious change to the game we get these messages about people who would leave the game. Most times there is also the accompanying prediction that the game will then be gone.
This was said at least 100 times before and the fact is that we are here and with us many players who are here for some years and old players who left us, sometime with similar messages and came back. There are many who keep supporting us and keep contributing to the game.

No curtains for Simcountry. You know better.
also,
although I am aware of your long time support for us, and I am aware of your age, we consider the placement of the same message many times to be unacceptable. Please don't spam the forum.
