In case no one knows what the “B” word is, it also contains an “A” and an “N” - figure it out. I’m doing it this way because players have been “B” for using the word in a post.
Anyway…
What would I do if that happened to me?
The answer is so easy - and I’m sure a lot of others who have been playing the game for years from come to the same conclusion: QUIT THE GAME.
There are a lot of other games out there that are strategy based, building based, even match 3 based. GoW isn’t the only game on the block, so to speak.
I’m waiting for the day I try to log in and the game won’t let me. I’ll swear a lot and then delete the game and move on. At this point I have mostly moved on anyway. I’ve would a game that’s interesting, has a lot to do, and a bug doesn’t appear on any day that ends in “Y.” And when there is a problem, the devs react swiftly either with a note they are working on it or a fix and compensation for the trouble it caused players. And these are needed resources that players of all levers can use.
At some point, unless you’ve really cut back on playing the game like I have, you’re going to hit the 2 billion mark on something. Actually, even if you don’t play very much, but are in a guild, your souls are likely to hit that mark. It’s not a case of IF it will happen, it’s a case of WHEN it will happen.
So my advice is to start researching other games because sooner or later the “B” word is going to happen to you.
Wait… unless… maybe they also take into account how much real money you put into the game… would they do that… hmmmm…
