Well, I have to admint... I cheated to become big so fast ;-). Basically buying game points is cheating. No offense meant, but some people in real life have more money to spend on fun stuff (e.g. games) than others, and their ability to buy any advantage is greater. So when buying game points (which you did as well, you've grown to black even faster than I did) you basically cheat as it gives you an unfair advantage to less rich people. This is reflecting real life though and a feature I actually like about this game. There are people here who buy 1000 game points which I could never afford, but hey I am not Bill Gates in real life either 
There is one point I agree on with you. It is extremely obvious that >50% of the Top 25 players are using clones to push their companies and since this is even forbidden by the rules there should be strict punishment for this. I have contacted admins several times before about clones but they did nothing. I mean calling a president clone1, clone2, clone3 is pretty ridiculous in the first place ;). On the other hand I fear the game would look empty if all clones are deleted and the parent companies are punished, and from a marketing perspective I understand why admins don't do it, because nobody wants to play a game where there are no players. So my suggestion is... live with the situation (you can't change corruption in real life yourself either) and be happy that YOU don't use clones, like I am not using them and see how well you can play without them
It is because of the player that they win, not the company. Get rid of all clones and the winning players would still be there. I know it won't happen, but I'd love to disproof this . I only win lots of contests because I invested a few hundread game points already, others who didn't do this win by using clones to circumvent qualification limits e.g.. |

In fact I think Virto is quite slow/inefficient in implementing the micro-transaction model. In some successful MT-MMO games, it's practically impossible to play without paying. They will find a way to entice you to pay, whether you are a rich or a poor guy in real life When done right, these games generate a much higher revenue than subscription based MMO games.
If you paid money for advantage in a subscription based game (like buying Gold in World of Warcraft), then it is cheating. But it's not cheating in a MT based game. I consider it fair and square. For contests it's a bit different matter. If a few players have a certain degree of monopoly on contests, sooner or later the negative effects will be felt by the game itself. For contests, there should be a stricter rule and enforcement. Since this is a one-time thing. |

| I admit i have a clone first it was to start up now it is to give my stores two departements of goods. This because else my qualification is not sufficient. I have to tell you it's a big hassle to keep both companies doing great. I know it's isn't very etical for the game but it is very real life based ( as you are claming you want all the time ). Don't think i have to give you examples of multinationals like Procter and Gamble but i did because probably you won't understand if it's right under your nose
The thing i like about clones you can find out things on your own, you can see what you are doing wrong by tweaking your clones in different ways. If you had done this you wouldn't have upsetted so many players and probably the makers of the game. All players "wanted" too help you without any favors in return RESPECT THAT, DON'T GET ANGRY because it isn't the way you want. Keep it real it's just a game.  |
