Why is gold only awarded every 24 hours?

I am fairly new to stick empires, I have helped quite a lot of friends get into it, too. But there is one thing I think should seriously be changed, I feel like Stick Empires online should have some other kind of way to get gold besides inviting friends and winning a game each day (I know there is the tutorial, but that is a one-time thing). I think you should be awarded at least a small amount of gold each time you play. For example:

Win from 0-10 minutes: 5 gold
Win from 10-20+ minutes: 10 gold

Lose from 0-10 minutes: 1 gold
Lose from 10-20+ minutes: 3 gold

First win of the day bonus: 20 gold

Surrender from 0-10 minutes: 0 gold
Surrender from 10-20+ minutes: 3 gold

Some of you may say "Why is gold rewarded even though you lose?" it would be reinforcing you to find a new match even though you may have the chance of losing, also, it would be a 'thank you for continuing to play, even though you lost'.

Doing this would obviously make gold less scarce, and that's why I feel like the prices of items in the armory should also be increased. Maybe just make the prices of everything greater, it wouldn't really make items any more easier to get, just with the fact that you get gold every time you play guaranteed. This would also make the tutorial and recruitment bonus increase. I've been sitting on 10 gold all day, even though I have played at least 7-8 matches and won a majority of them.

:confused:This may have been requested before, or there may have been some kind of fact that a staff has given that something like this wouldn't be a good idea, but I seriously feel like playing more should give you more bonuses.

Then you could get coins super easily, and they wouldn't get profit from people buying coins. Case Closed.
Note: if you raised prices and how much you get, it's the same goddamn ratio.

Increase them to where it's a lower ratio, then. It basically saying if you play more, you get more, but not to the point where you get everything you want. If an item was 500 and you wanted to buy it with coins, it would take 50 days currently. If you were to use this system, it could be 70-30 days depending on how often you want to play.

With those ratio, your MINIMUM is 25, double that of now. This makes you gain coins extremely fast, and who wants that? We want to have a challenge, not just play a billion matches, regardless of loss or win, and get it anyways.

If you wanted 1000 gold, it would take you 16 hours of 10-20+ minute matches back-to-back with 100% winrate.
I don't think anyone can play 100 games straight and make the matches last 10 minutes and win every single one of them.

If the matches were under 10 minutes, it would take you 200 matches back-to-back with 100% winrate.
That would take you 32 hours straight.


If you were to lose one you would have your gold dropped extremely, it would probably take you a few weeks to just get 1 item.

This could also be an alternative, maybe just abolish the 24 hour win of the day bonus and add a new 6-hour system so it would continue to bring you throughout the day.

Also, thank you.

Why would your gold drop extremely if you lose one?

Because I don't think anyone is going to have 100% winrate.

It is actually quite easy to get 100% win rate, and as I said, why would losing 1 match drop your gold earnings a lot?

Must have worded myself incorrectly, what I was implying was the fact that I don't think anyone is going to win every single game.

Wait a sec, I don't think it was even on the 24-hour in de first place, I'm pretty sure it's on a 12-hour period.

It used to be. It's 24 hours now, as far as I can tell.
