Remove wheel

Everyone agrees that the wheel is a scam.
Solution
Have +20 jewels in item shop and have them un-giftable. That way even your players who have billions of gold will still have to buy diamonds if they want +20 items.
Suggested prices
Star 199 dias
Sun 99 dias
Moon 79 dias
Nebula 99 rubies.

Of course that's a little cheaper but It could bring back a lot of players..... "We the people" suggest these ideas because we don't want this great game to die from Gameforge's greed.
100 people spending $10 is more profit than 5 spending $100.

Un-giftable or not, people who have the gold can and will find ways to get +20s without having to buy diamonds.

That being said, yes i agree, the wheel is a joke and people only play it for the +20s. The suggestion for the plussers sold by itself has been made numerous times. We are halfway there! Now for the super expensive weapon jewels!

However, I really don't want +20 to be the standard. It doesn't seem like it is right now (in my opinion), but it sure does help a lot.

I don't mind the wheel. I just wish the levels were server-wide. That would really make it something everyone contributes to.

Maybe if we could all just be happy with +16 and not play the wheel for +20's they might eventually bring them to the regular shop. Its not in their best interest to keep a feature that everyone refuses to use. We just have to all be on the same page of not to use it because all it is is a cash grab for those players that enjoy being on top. GF banks on the individual's desire to be the best and spend whatever it takes to get there.

I'm going to bet that the vast majority of us would have no problem stopping at 16, but it's those select few people that are obsessed with keeping their status in power that are keeping the wheel alive.

Basically this. US will never ever be able to actually change anything important. It's all EU.

i agree the wheel is a joke and i also agree that the us community cant change this alone,we would need the .de and .eu communities to do this as well.

Who exactly is everyone? Let's not forget the US server population is the vast minority.


Germany says hi.



+20 for 287 MA. Boycott all you want 'round here.

Lol. I heard a rumor that you can do hard mode instances without burning the bosses. So I've give up FTP here on out.

Doesn't this new item shop allow each region to separately control what is on sale rather than having to wait for the parent region to send out said changes? If all of NA stopped utilizing the wheel, I'm pretty sure the ones in charge of the NA item shop could make changes? Hopefully?

Then again, they probably wouldn't be able to remove it, but I'm pretty sure that they could at least disable it and for sure put the jewels in the actual shop.

We, as the players and the community, are the ones that hold the power. We have the potential to make change happen, but only if we all work together.

It wouldn't be fair to the germans if only the US got no wheel. They wouldn't do it just for one region, and clearly the German's are using the hell out of it, so they're not going to take it away for all of them.

But no. In seven years of playing this game I've never gotten the image that the community has absolutely any potential to make change in this game.
