All the you tube videos are useless when many players do not have the equipment that is shown in the videos. Many people have the equipment but are unable to acquire enough thorium to upgrade them. The thorium requirements surpass the oil and metal now why not make a permanent depot for it. I have seen some a kixeye employee make fun of the players saying why would they choose to take a depot when they could hit someones base for resources. Well the fact of the matter is most people can't take the thorium so they have no resources in their bases worth hitting. A person doesn't have enough time to repair toons for base attacks and thorium also unless coins are involved. Many people here do not have coins to spend or maybe a few. I used to spend much but I like to make the decision to spend my coins not someone forcing me into it. We need the noncoiners as friends and enemys. If they can't take thorium and give us a challenge who are we supposed to attack. When the many are few then the game gets boring whick it is now. I had many friends and family playing now we are only a few and we don't play much anymore other than the upgrades. And when the they are done I will continue to wither away and play no more also. I am a level 40 with many upgraded items yet I take several days damage for the thorium I require. I will not coin unless the thorium is eased up like it was pre zombies. We had a chance then and coin was an option. Now it is demanded. When service in a restaurant is poor the tip is low or nonexistent. Here is the same and the service is poor, very poor at this time. I am saddened that my family and friends are gone now. I hope there are some drastic changes soon as we need the non coiners also in the game. Since the zombies came to town the lag in the game is so bad it is impossible to play sometimes. Best wishes and good luck to ones still playing now. I am sorry I am unable to help the lower levels anymore, but I require the toons I have for myself now. Kevin
