Pay To Win: The act of paying real money to gain an unfair advantage against FTP (Free to Play) players. 

My petition is aimed at DianDian Interactive Holding, the subsidiary owner of the company FunPlus who created the game, "Kings of Avalon" and then re-skinned it to sell a new game called "Guns of Glory". I find the "free" portion of the game extremely limited and frankly, not fun. I propose to petition the Company into lowering in-app purchases (but not removing) and/or reducing the number of items that cannot be earned without spending.

For example, for one of the best gear sets available (prior to V2.2's release), without spending a dime, you could earn the gear through Rallies of which you could only earn 3 Bonus Chests per day and earn 1-2 Fragments per chest. You need 400 per piece and there are 6 total pieces, which is about 534 days (over a year) to get the full set. However now as of the V2.2 Update, odds are now 0-2 resulting in almost taking 700 or more days to earn the gear. But PTP players are now getting more fragments for paying $30 a month to get special deals when spending on Daily Deals.

The above example is only a fraction of the real issue. I could go on for years explaining the truly amazing and complicated mechanics of how FunPlus is squeezing players for every cent they have. Instead, I will run down a quick list of things that you most definitely (90% or more) chance of spending on...

1. Gems: Justice and Nobility Gems
2. Refining Gems to enhance the aforementioned gems
3. Airship Parts 
4. Airship
5. Equipment (Demon Hunter, Retribution) Design Fragments
6. Guards and Guard Enhancements
7. Equipment (Demon Hunter, Retribution) Rare Fragments (needed to actually craft them)
8. Building Upgrades Resources Required
9. Gear that reduces the number of resources required

The Company in question is requiring players to spend ridiculous amounts of money to stay in the fight and time. There is no value on one's time spent, but let's be reminded these games have a way to rope you in constantly checking your base in case of attacks, upgrades finishing, gathering, training troops etc.

Let's also not forget that if you spend money, you could lose it all by simply losing a battle or quitting. FunPlus has a strict Terms and Conditions on the act of selling/buying and gifting player accounts (for obvious reasons) and therefore when someone invests hundreds, thousands or more into this game and then quit...All of that is gone. We need to push the Company to fix this issue and make the game more accessible to everyone to enjoy. I love Guns of Glory, I love the game, the people, the community. But it is NOT worth thousands of dollars to compete. 

Additionally, let's remind the Company that this game has 0 physical value. Every cent you pay is never going to be returned to you in some physical form. If you quit, you are throwing away every cent you spent. 

In conclusion, yes, the Company has to make an income. But at what point do we, as the players, the ones who give them their jobs, stand up and say "No more pay to win?" 

We need to come together and make it clear to the Company who only sees the dollar signs, that we, the players, want a fair and equal game experience no matter how much you spend. I should not be bullied by a player constantly zeroing me (killing all my troops and/or stealing resources) because he spent $200,000 (not an exaggeration) on in-game purchases. If they want to label this game as Free To Play, they need to make it possible for FTP players to have an equal chance of enjoying the game. 

•  Lower in-game purchase amounts
• Place some sort of limitation and/or system to address Pay To Win Bullies
• Possibly adjust in-game requirements for Castle (Building), Gear, and Gemstones/Airships to be more possible to acquire without spending hundreds.
