Don't follow pump and dumps, look at the team, the community support and the progress.
We can't even follow pump & dumps because there's no market yet. I look at the team, they are working even thogh it's slow progress.
The problem is there is no real community support, only few players play this game. They need to find more players.
At some point people are going to realise that there is money to be made from playing this game without having to spend anything (free roll tournaments) and when that happens I think we will see an influx of players.
I hope the developers are forward thinking enough to encourage this trend by offering a high number of free roll tournaments during the first few months of promoting the game. This will lead to more people becoming familiar with the game and increase player retention.
As I've mentioned before, I also think there will be a lot of value in offering a variety of other prizes too for the first few months to get people to sign up. The BTC we invested has increased by almost 300% and I for one would be very happy to see it being spent on Amazon vouchers or even reasonably priced electronic goods and gadgets, either as contest prizes or other viral competitions for signing up to the game.
Very cool feedback. This is something I'm sure will be taken into account.
And there are many ways in which you can turn playing the game, for free, into actual money. Just an example, off the top of my head. Say you purchased a Harry Kane card, at a discount price, when the market was just released. Well, you would have received a really great deal. Kane is performing brilliantly for England and for Spurs in the Premier League. The best teams in the world would like to have him join. Now, if you were to sell your card in the future, you're likely to make a very nice profit.
Or, say you purchase a card of a youngster that is ranked at 3* and he then becomes a breakout star, again, you could make a great profit by simply being a very competent scout.
Not to mention the fact that you can enter competitions and with free players, you can win XFC, which you will then be able to trade.
