Hello!
I want to say I'm quite fond of this game. I really like it - play almost everyday for few months now. I support it - bought quite a huge chunk of gems and I dont regret it. I have fabulous friends in guild and having a great time around. I like it becouse even though game is based on simple idea, there are many ways to enjoy it. Some like to trade, some like to level up and play adventures. I'm enjoying micromanaging my empire and see it flourish - Im a hoarder and have full stockpiles of most resources most of time. I know it's not the most optimal way to play it and level up - but its what I enjoy.
Anyway, I joined a guild some time ago - it has a bunch of great helpfull people and I enjoy this game even more after that. We are all guildies so we act like guildies - we help each other with adventures, give usefull tips and trade resources at discounted price.
I discovered I really like helping my friends therefore when somewhen needs some items I have abundance of, it happens that from time to time I sent them 400 HWP (or sth similar) for 1 fish - I just give them resources or sell them way below market - I can afford that.
Some time ago one of my guildies got banned. When that person returned we all learned that this kind of help is considered pushing by BB and if they will continue doing so, they will get perma ban.
This saddens me deeply, becouse if i am to follow this rule, I am going to miss one of the things I enjoy here - guild atmosphere and feel of community. I'd like to ask some questions though and would love to get some answers please.
1. What are the guilds for? If we arent supposed to help each other - how it is different then asking for tips in global-1 or sending trades in global-3?
2. I haven't seen anywhere in the FAQ/requirements post one that condemns that practice. I've seen plenty where it's forbidden to have 2 accounts on same IP and using one to push other - I'm fully for that regulation. But why - If I have earned my resources rightfully - am I not able to sent them to friends for any price I see fit?
3. There is a possiblility to sent "Gifts" to friends. By gifts I mean gem-bought items that are sent to friend completelly out of charge. It is even more of that "pushing" if you ask me. Some of those items are way more powerfull then 400 HWP i sent for free from time to time. It seems very hypocritical for me. Could you please tell me how those 2 situation are different (sending gem bough geologyst vs sending some free resources)?
Thank you,
