The high vip players like myself (I can speak for my self only here) do not feel the need to buy any more significant packages like before. I may buy a few $99 one's and maybe one more big one just to have enough gems around to do sirus black smith without losing levels or mount transfers, but until the new content is released, there really is no point.

However, I can see for average players who are moderate VIP's wanting to spend a little more when they can get the advantage to keep the gears sockets open and filled with chips and get their black smith up some more since the changes in CWF has changed how it is equalized at the top. Eventually no matter who you are, you will have to give away to the Crown buffs since they never go down.

But the more I play this game, the more it seems to me that spending significant amount of money doesn't really buy you much. Tynon in my opinion, has "failed".

What I mean by "FAILED" is they have shown that they care less about creating a deeper game experience and richer content that to make quick cash producing content to get people to react, and in some cases "force" to spend money to buy more gems.

If you ask anyone out there who has not started to play this game (including me) at the start of this game if you would spend ten's of thousands on an on line game, and I would have said "hell no". But what this game does is it draws you in with promises of an endless game progression and small incremental spends, and then they got you since you are now "vested too much" to quit. I know many players in my guild and realm feel this way right now. They can't quit even if they want to because they already spent too much (in their eyes). Some have thrown in the towel even after they spent the money and wrote it off as a loss and a lesson learned.

In a transparent company that is up and up, people reveal and provide transparency. Who are the tynon company business owners, who is their ceo, lead developer, director of operations, etc. Does anyone know? I cannot seem to be able to find out any of this from the web site. What is their contact and address? Something just does not seem right. After spending all this money, I still do not know who makes this game.
Also off-topic:

I have noticed tynon was what you are describing when I first started playing due to the fact that you could 'buy power'... just like the iphone games. I'm actually surprised in how much people put into this game (I would call this a success in tynon's part although it results in frustrated players).

(now... I'm not allowed to mention similar games, but this one is a completely different structure so I'm not sure if it counts): mod remove if it does
I used to play this game, and suggest you take a look at Dofus.
Download required
Subscription based: .... but there is free to play with limited content. (I've played that game without spending anything... tons of content and room of advance without money)
Orgine system: Paying players could essentially sell subscription to f2p players for in-game money. Almost like buying power, but it takes a lot more than money to power up.
Less daily rewards: No pressure to log in each day really.
Quite a bit of farm/grind: One thing I like about tynon... but grinding turned out to be better than runing...
One hero at a time per account: Another thing I like about tynon... you get to operate the full formation with one account, so no need for alts.
Alts are pretty much encouraged in Dofus... people use them but can't really abuse them.

Bots? This was a problem that came and went and came back again... not sure if they solved it.


Anyway... I suggest you try this game for free first. Free content is actually huge. It got boring for me after I hit level 200 since it required a full (8 accounts) formation to do the harder stuff (which meant lag for me)... but they do keep releasing new things and the world is a lot bigger than this one. It's sort of meant for you to play at your own pace... you could start on a server with a lot of people already a lot ahead of you. Not a race there.
