Other people have already pointed out how wrong you are but I will also, just for the hell of it.
its a game of money. the donating system has killed the game..i know servers are expensive so don't even go there I already know. But not everyone as the money to donate all round long and get a clear cut advantage. Non-donaters even in a decent alliance don' stand a chance just because you have ppl who donate ass loads of money all the time and get credits to get to the top...which is why the same guys are always in the top 10 EVERY TIME.
Firstly, 4 of the top 10 haven't bought the punit. Secondly, none of the rank 1 alliance (at least, to my knowledge - and I'm one of them) have bought any game cash this round. Thirdly, last rounds winner didn't buy a punit or game cash and neither have many of the players that have won a round in the past. Over the two rounds I won (16 and 23), I bought 1 punit and that was it.
i'm not "new" at the game dickhead. I remember when there WERE NO PAY UNITS. When Grenaders were the final unit in military and when Robotics weren't even a concept. And it does make a difference I've actually finished in the top 50 back in round 7. But I've played on and off for the last few years so don't question my level of skill. If you do you can kiss my ass.
Many players have been a lot more successful than top 50 back in round 7 (seriously, that is
not an achievement to be proud of or to be used to make yourself look like a skilled player - in fact, it probably has the opposite effect) without spending money to get there.
Case and point azzer bought a house and went on vaction and all this and that..and I'm willing to guess that it was all of money he's made of this game. Hopefully there will be a way to balance the game again the future cause right now it's an uphill battle all round long.
This is Azzer's job, his livelihood. So long as Azzer has worked and does work hard enough to support the game, he deserves to make a living from it. Why should he spend his time creating a game for you and have to have another job on top of that?
