I find this game to be wonderful, and I fully understand the time and investment that went into producing this game. I also agree that the makers of CallofWar should be financially compensated for their work and investment, and that is why I buy gold. However, I was wondering if you could offer a premium option where people could pay a premium of gold or some kind of membership (paying real money) that would allow players to create or join games where once in the game no gold could be spent by the playes. By doing this, the makers of the game would be receiving payment for their efforts and investment up front for each game, and the players would be able to join a game where everyone is on an equal footing. I find this to be a win-win for everyone.
