Do Inno make money from the top players?

There's bound to be a mix of both Free to Play and Pay to Play at the top.

In part because some players will stick with the game longer than others

If you mean the top personal rankings it's a mix on P-world. Some buy diamonds some don't or barely do.

As for top players it'll probably depend what you consider a top player. This game allows a quite diverse game play and personal interests may vary a lot depending on what we find fun, challenging and want to achieve as goals. Spending money helps speeding up the process of what you want to achieve but it still requires a lot of patience, dedication and a minimum of skill.
 
Interesting to know it the top players actually spend $ with Inno, after all they do get the most rewards. So is it earned??
Of course they would given to have multiple (more than 2-3) iterations of event building you need to pay a lot of money. The pic is of the top ranked player in Vingrid. Go look at the top players in any city you have access to and you'll find the same.

Purchasing diamonds removes any requirement for patience, dedication and minimum skillset... That's not to say that people who buy dias son't have those qualities, simply that diamonds streamline everything.

Purchasing yes, that's 5 mins of work and a bit of excitement. Unfortunately the other part is not quite accurate but still exciting although. I spent 40+ hours finishing board after board after board during the Eco event and that for 10 Eco Sanctums. I need 2 hours and a half to go through a stack of 300 FSP (getting slow as I'm getting old) without going completely gaga. I had to burn through a lot of 300 FSP stack to go from 10 to 26 Sanctums and from 3 to 11 Regal Squirrel Halls. It also took me 7 long months to finally get my 26 Aegean Resorts as I started with no FSP to talk about after finishing the soccer event 2023. Try tossing diamonds on cultural settlements as it does feel good, stressful sometimes but still good once you get those 3 chests out of it.
The good news is that coming Halloween event isn't the time consuming card game everyone hates ( 1 hour up to 1 hour and a half every day past year, every day). The other goods news is that I'm done with events for the time being, need a long break. I only had 1 day I could spent on the Fall Event of this Year, that was 7 hours that day getting cups down, seven freaking hours, try it, it's exciting and fun.

But you are right, purchasing diamonds removes everything as suddenly everything comes for free at he speed you folks click nowedays in GbG.

You might think that, but there was a nerf on Diamonds with some of the upgrades. When GbG and GE were modified, a lot of the Diamond rewards were removed or cut way down. You can still have cities on multiple worlds that are just full of FoY's, WW's, Crows Nest, and the SV. I joined Uceria when it first spawned and some of the top players were already getting into the Future by day 4 or 5. So prior to the cut-backs, those players had years of massive GbG diamond farming to fill up their bank. So same thing happens today, events or seasons start and those players buy-up the game currency and run off with the leaderboard. No cash necessary. It's the new to middle players that spend money trying to even gain the next level buildings or having a chance at them.

It's not diamond farms but credit card. Most big spenders don't bother with diamond farms except the ones enjoying diamond farm game play.

@op Top players P2W pay to win often because they want something without having to wait, more so now than ever before.
GbG first 15mins is dominated by them! QI also has them, but if you are frustrated by being left behind or unable to play, you can still enjoy the game F2P free to play.

Knowing where all the best in-game diamond places are is essential because all your cities in different worlds share all your diamonds.
Diamond farms, GE IV, GbG, map provinces & quest lines to name but a few, and the more cities you play will increase your chances of getting them.
You may never be a Top P2W player; you can get fairly close with F2P but it will take a few years to achieve it.

Are you a top player that you can come up with statements like this, or are you just guessing? Did you talk to many top players and did they all say the same?

I have noticed that you are very obsessed with GBG, cause no matter what the subject is, you bring up GBG. You do know there is more than just GBG?

If that is true how do you know it is P2W players that dominate the first 15 minutes in GBG? According to what you are saying here it can also be F2P players that have been playing for years.

Is Diamond farms, GE IV, GbG, map provinces & quest lines not enough?

Many top players use diamonds to boost their performance aided by other guildies of course.

Agents last post was 20th OCT, YOU (Droopy Joined forum on the 21st) are you sure you are not related lol

Not really but it helps cutting the real money spending, for some at least that bothers with big diamond farms that take Years to build up till they truly generate a decent amount of diamonds.

It depends on who you talk to and what they like doing, For example, some top players don't need a lot of diamonds because they have already obtained all the game expansions; oddly enough I was chatting with a top 5 guild leader just this morning; an SV lvl100 gives her enough diamonds and she can play without using the cash shop.

They might be able to collect all without paying but lvl 100 SV isn't hardly doing anything. Especially with mass aid being a thing which SV doesn't work with. I deleted a lvl 100 about 7/8 months ago. It was wasted space.

Spending and top players are a continous thing though, they come and go a lot. Players could have spent hugely in the last 10/12 years you would never know if you looked at their city now, players get bored or just settle into the game and play differently and become wiser to how they spend their money. Only noticeable ones are players with current event buildings. Doesn't mean they're top players or the top spenders just means currently they're buying things at the minute.

Top players at the minute on stats just means they're hammering battles and repeatedly hitting buttons on gbg in a high era that gives a decent amount of points. Is it a skill, something that is achieved or just more spare time and that's what they choose to do with it.

Thank you, I've been warning SV is going to get worse not better with mass self-aid, and I got hostile responses from a few who have watched too much uber-junk on youtube, lol, with outrageous claims that you're going to make thousands of diamonds per year, yeah not if there's no one to aid!

I've never seen their clips but seen the SV brigade around and they talk so much nonsense.

A level 100 Seed Vault gives a 15,98% chance at a random resource. The chance that resource is diamonds is 1%. Spacehub has 12 diamond expansions that each cost 2800 diamonds. That is 33.600 just for Spacehub. Total diamonds needed for expansions at this time is 148.400. All that must be a piece of cake with a Seed Vault.

Did you know that the earth is flat?

So now the SV is only a small top up?

Your words



So what is it?

Seems that only thing flying here is a lot of horse manure.
You are just feeding a troll. Please stop replying to that child (but it is your choice of course) - because that troll will not stop replying to you and anyone else, and try to steer the conversation into an attack on Agent as well as other foolish comments and wrong information.
