I've just recently joined the game, and it has a lot of good and not so good qualities. One of the things that fascinate me are token buyers. This game is designed that if you want to power train a player you need a butt load of tokens. And some people still do it.
My question is: how much do token buyers spend?
(I understand every token buyer spends a different amount, but if we are talking about people who power train several players)
there is not one answer to your question. Some buy none, some buy a few, and some buys for several hundred € every month. :rolleyes:
=> Nordeus wins
I don't buy tokens or anything for the game and I have over 1,000 tokens and tons of boosters, more than enough to power train anyone I want.
It's all about resource management and taking advantage of opportunities.
So someone would see my screen and think I buy tokens, but I don't.
One small correction, you don't need tokens to power train, you need green packs.
I think that there are no regular token buyers.
Sure some people bought tokens few times small amounts of tokens yes but not regularly.
Most players farm tokens.
Tell that to my Level 2 opponent who finished third in his first season, and suddenly has 11 players with four or five stars and easily tops the league! :rolleyes:
That's easy to do. If he is a brand new player, there are lots of offers about to build up tokens. It's easy in the early stages but gets harder the higher up you get.
My mine method for getting tokens is by farming. While it may not be a high amount compared to others (just over 500), depending on how you use them will be how long they last.
I have over 2,000 tokens and am in my 2nd year of playing and not once have have i bough tokens, i`m just smart especially earlier into the game by NOT getting bidding wars in the Transfer market
Well, my main team is level 34 and has 185 tokens but plenty of reds and greens. I do not buy tokens and can only get about an extra 1 or 2 a day by watching videos if I'm lucky, not the tens or hundreds others claim to get. I have to save my tokens over 2 or 3 seasons to be able to have enough to get money from the bank to fund my transfers. So it is every other season or maybe a 3rd season that I can improve my team. I get the best players that I can and let that team run for 2-3 saeasons and hope for a top 4 finish to get CL money. If not then I just have to wait until I have enough tokens to get money from the bank to invest in new players in order to compete. But that is what makes this game a challenge to me.
i can`t watch for tokens so have used the neg list too earn the extra tokens by signing non token youth or planning ahead to leave player i intend too sell and leaving 1 skill point from next starQuote:

The surveys do not work at all, they are just scams to get you to do pay offers (I have tried dozens from every provider and not got 1 token). Then there are some good offers for free trials you have to cancel before getting charged and then some for insurance quotes that you can only do once.
As that is the case I don't have the option to just farm thousands and train as I please. I am a token buyer but not on the scale of many others. I buy around 500T per season.
That allows me to have just over a 6* total avg quality with a full team of fast trainers. My starting 11 is usually around a 7* avg.
There are some who have full teams of 9* players. Which for me would take several hundred USD per season. No game is worth that. I am only lvl 5 and am still winning a lot. I also can farm about 25 packs (combined and regardless of color) per day from videos on android and a few more from facebook. Token videos are on the top 11 site. So to maximize I need to switch between all 3 platforms every day.
If it gets to where I cannot win trophies at higher lvls without spending more I will walk away. I won't spend more money.
I understand that this is a for profit game and that is fine, but these kinds of games are overly greedy. They charge more than the subscription games and platform games by a mile and have nowhere near the overhead. Graphics are almost null, they can't be bothered to make the GK have different attributes much less defenders vs attackers.
It's not like they need the players paying hundreds per month to offset the free players. There isn't the overhead to pay for. It is barely above the quality of the old completely free to play games.
Farming for tokens in the UK has got harder recently, but its still possible occasionally to farm up to 50 a day (Although its only worked for the past 4/5 days and then it was broken for the two weeks before that).
I've over 14,000 Tokens, having never bought any (apart from using one of the offers when opening up my betting account - but as I wanted to open a betting account with that company anyway, it seemed wise to go via an offer than not)
Farming is very hard here in Canada. I was ecstatic when a survey got me 37 tokens. Many offers do not work. It feels like Nordeus forces players in some markets to buy tokens to be competitive every season. Not that my team is doing badly, but y'know... I had to be opportunistic on the transfer market to make good purchases without overspending.
It seems backward to me. You would figure that football crazy markets like the UK would make it harder to get free tokens as more are likely to pay for them while you want to build a base in a country like the US or Canada where sporting competition puts football well down the popularity list......
My guess is that there are just more companies in those markets who are targeting football fans and thus more offers.
I have wanted to leave this bat $#!+ crazy country for most of my life and would give my left testicle to get my family into the UK or anywhere in western Europe for that matter. Having said that it isn't the fault of most of the US people. They were intentionally brainwashed from very young and really don't know better.
But the result is that it is an evil oligarchy run by morons who are bent on burning it to the ground in their effort to own everything.
It's sad that it is easier for someone from Bulgaria to get there than someone from the country that is largely responsible for the continued existence of democracy in your continent. It was a different country then but still. Several of my family members help liberate it and two died trying but because my father was called back from Germany by the Army while my mom was 2 weeks from not being able to fly while pregnant with me I was born in the US and am FU&$ed.
If you have 14.000 Tokens, then you have to pay envy tax to me, that is only 15% or 2100 Tokens:oQuote:

My rule however - and it has been the same for many mmorpgs/freemiums over the years - is that I never spend more in a month than I'd spend on a pizza delivery. ;)
I have 11 Tokens atm >.<
PS. I do 'waste' them on player renaming and silly experiments, but since it entertains me its not a waste....to me.
I've been meaning to try that at one point to see if people really are that gullible. Two players in the same position at the same age and the same quality, but change one of the names to see if the 'real player' sells for more over the other.Quote:

lol
I also change the names of my players but as Buff, I 'm not doing it for selling my players.
Anyway, I don't think that many managers know who are Alan Hansen or Steve Nicol (of Buffs) or mine Garincha & Djalma Santos :p
ok Corny warning I have pulled a Gianluca Vialli on my team, to show them the way. I guess not many knows this player!Quote:

And judging from the questions on here in the past, I don't think many managers know who Jose Mourinho is either (not aimed at anyone in particular). :pQuote:

out of topic againQuote:
