Dear admins,

I always say that economics are not something you put on a toast, to eat - probably not the best sounding comparison in english, but anyway.
I do admit most of us economists sound like some gingy-mingy assholes trying to rule over every debate where we can put at least a bit of a supply-demand, to proove ourselves as the ultimate smartasses. It comes with profession, I guess. At least at my university, that is the case, majority of individuals that finish it, barely understand some of the economic principles. It shows in Slovenian watered down GDP, eventually.

To the point, I know.

When changing the system from X to Y, there is always a question of a balance.

I wholefully understand your point that there is just too many gold in the game and it has to get out, one way or another. I will not be preaching about the fact that huge changes, such as the ones that occured recently, will inevitably be unpopular, no matter what. That is pretty obvious. I am more interested in weather these changes have been carefully thought through and pre-calculated?


I considered it a mistake when True Ally medals worth was increased from 2,5 G to 4 G. As far as I remember, I advocated for TPatriot medal to go down to 2,5 G per medal instead. This gold flow issue, was easily predictable a year ago and I am probably not mistaken that it is something you had in mind for future changes for quite a while now.
No matter the new buildings or any other way to impliment bigger gold spending, changes like that will always be unpopular. I think we all get that, but that is not the case here.

As one of the guys that has led Slovenian armies a year ago, back than, I really hated that TA and TP medals were not worth the same in gold. Everybody was waiting to be able to tank in a TPatriot battle and there were constant issues to convience people to tank for the allies, for a smaller gold revenue. I had more TA medals than TP ones, when the change occured, loosing some 300, 400, I can not recall how much gold. But f. it. I have visa, I can solve this. Just felt sad for those few people that were always willing to help where and when their country needed them and hit hard, loosing potential gold in the process, while selfish players that seeked TP fights only, benefited from not working for comunities best interests.
I was really loosing my mind with some of my countryman due to it.
I welcomed that change, as something that had to be done and was glad this issue is finaly over, nevermind the gold flow.

Looking at it right now, seems like you prefer to destroy that balance, rewarding those that will be seeking TP battles only, once again. Making it much harder for anyone trying to gather as much help to the ally as possible and trying to avoid those god damn overkills in some unimportant TP resistance war. me right straight in the anus, but sure as hell, you will not be seeing me trying to set those things in order in my country anymore. I guess we will just settle for contant TPatriots and leave our allies to te mercy of opponents. Sorry everyone, but thats not my battle anymore.
I am disturbed by the fact that is something I thought that is already sorted out, but now again became an issue.

Second part. Instead of gold at TrueAlly medals, now well be getting 200 Country Currency as a reward. Whose brilliant idea was that?
Why is it that with as many economics decisions that this games administration took, there was always this irresistable propensity for setting the tendencies towards 0.005 G / 1 CC exchange rate? Which is a thing this change would inevitably lead to, to spare you another novel within this novel.
Seriously, did you guys pick straws on this decision? Surely seems like it.

Not to mention the obvious, why in the world do countries that seek a higher exchange rate always have to be hit with pumping CC into the game artificialy. Let us at least pretend the game is also an economic simulation, not a war simulation only.

Economics are all about the balance. With the recent changes, are you sure you will pump out the sufficient ammount of gold, too much of it or not enough?
Did you really have the time, to evaluate weather the changes in the ORG taxation pumped insufficient ammount of gold out of the game or will we witness the complete devaluation of national currencies, with people seeking enough gold for taxation, daily orders and company upgrades?


I hope you did your calculations and this change is not the way it seems, too hasty and will lead towards balancing the game.

I, for one, do not believe that will be the case and am predicting a patch, another change within some months time.

Untill than,





No f***king way you are getting a hottie from me in this article, you did not deserve it.


P.S. I have contributed enough suggestions regarding economic module, none of the majors have been accepted and as someone that lives off understanding prices and production, I do not feel like suggesting fixes to the economy anymore, as obviously I can not compete with some of the brightest ideas.
