Over the past 4-5 years millions of people have dumped a large amount of funds into Game of War in hope of achieving not only a powerful empire, but building lasting friendships. Over the past 1.5 years Machine Zone has drastically changed their buisness plan from quarterly updates to 3-4 new features per week. These new updates will then be followed by ground breaking features that force players to purchase new packs just to stay active and relevant. The new features would drastically change the landscape of the game play.
Over the past 2 years Machine zone has promised a ground breaking feature called the 'Alliance City'. Dedicated packs were released for this new feature and after 2 years the feature was released with a fraction of what was promised. Bait and switch! This ponzi scheme and the bad buisness practices that is MZ and game of war are illegal and unethical. The sad part is they violate their own terms and policies. They are cyber bullying the very people that sign their checks. There is nothing different from rolling a pair of dice in a casino and spending hundreds weekly in a game then never ends. The only difference is the casinos warn you about gambling! Why don't MZ warn you about their ponzi scheme where they are constantly advertising Free to play?
Ground breaking features have forced close friends to quit the game due to the upkeep that it involves. Over the past week drastic changes have been made to the point where larger than life accounts have been dwindled down to nothing. No troops no heroes nothing!!! To top it all off when you email MZ they respond with the same generic response stating the following "With that said, please remember that Peace Shields provide the perfect cover from unwanted Attacks. I do understand that players enjoy not having to live underneath a Peace Shield but sometimes you have to do whatever it necessary to protect your City from Attack. and the kicker "I can assure you that after multiple checks and tests of our systems we have confirmed that the game mechanics are functioning perfectly and by design". Thanks for sending us all the same generic message! This confirms everything that has been stated.
This petition isn't just for change, but the power of voice. We have tried boycotts before and does it really get us anywhere? Let's sign up and get a real movement going! Let's rally up and join the real war.
By the way unlike Game of War this is Free to Play!!!

One hundred people have signed this now and it feels like a heavy weight being validated. The pace is exhausting but seeing that number climb proves I am not the only one tired of these games.

Seeing this kind of movement confirms that my frustration is shared by so many others who have been worn down by these constant updates. It is exhausting to watch this continue but knowing that I am not alone gives me the resolve to keep pushing forward.

This is the must crooked unethical company I have ever encountered. Thieves thst force you to quit and let go of everything you have bought or buy more only to face more "upgrades" a few days later, rendering everything you bought and built previously, useless.
The latest game changes of there being no published max without so much as a "hey, we are doing this," makes the game unrewarding to all but the top 1% with endless wallets. Yet people still spend unaware if whats happening. Give it a week.
I have 3accts and I have spent thousands and I wind up right back at the beginning, I'm a 3 yr player. I refuse to spent another penny with MZ, they are just running it in the ground! It's not a battle of skill, it's the battle of wallets!!
MZ has gotten too greedy. My account has been zeroed with one hit. My account had total power of 1.30 MT with a total troop amount of 36.9 KT. I have spent thousands of dollars on my account to get to the 1.30 MT power level. Now it's all gone.
The game used to be enjoyable, but now you have to sink $1k a week to stay relevant and spend hours daily to build, research and troop training. The game more closely resembles Sim City than a war game. And don't get me started on the Alliance City.
Class action to refund players’ money is justified. I’m in. Who else will join this cause to bring MZ to account for their disgraceful conduct?
It’s time for new ownership of MZ!!!! They have absolutely destroyed this once great game. Very sad........

in order to stay in the game, 500 dollars a week is the lowest amount you have to spend. 2 months ago 20 could do it. And at this point they don't even explain updates and their operators have no idea whats going on, they answer with 1 of 5 auto responses
