Yeah, I don't like it either. I've played a few times, but I won't continue to play now. 7% is ridicilous, if I win, with say, an axe, I get quite a loss still, and have to win to make profit.
I second this. The fee was raised to 7% to justify the new prestige system, which from what TF has mentioned to me, with 100 points, I might be able to get 0.02 back. So basically the increased house edge doesn't affect people that spend ridiculous amounts on this game, but instead affects all the new people that want to try the game a few times. They could have easily left the house edge the same and still made almost the same profit, but the greed of the site owner and/or designer has put them off my list for good. It was done without notice except for the change on the side of the site in small text, not reflected anywhere on the forums by the owner or designer, only annoyed players. Your site's model may be "unique", but the original idea didn't even come from you, and you're putting a ridiculous house edge on it. Add that to the already high stakes, and I do not recommend this game to anyone anymore. It went to shit pretty quickly. At this point, it's basically a glorified chain game.
