I even got 2 back to back in 1 explore run twice. But only useless stuff that I already had more than enough of. Hopefully there’s at least a decent offer every now and then. ---

Another one: 30 Dragonite for 150 gems (equivalent to the dungeon offer) ---

Hey, looks like this update is concurrent with Switch. Cool! BRB after I check it out… > [@ThxMAD](#): > > Another one: 30 Dragonite for 150 gems (equivalent to the dungeon offer) And at least twice as accessible! Lower Gem price for those without an endless supply of Gems on hand, and _not_ explicitly limited to one offer per day for those with. > [@icy](#): > > The Wandering Merchant System - Just more nonsense to click away, wasting time? Say that again after you’ve clicked away a Dragonite offer. ---

Maybe I’m just bitter, because of my years of playing this game and constantly being disappointed, but here are my thoughts on this so far. First let me point out that this is yet just another update with nothing really new or interesting to add to the game. Just mostly updates on resource spending of course. Flash offer UI update? How about Delve or medal UI update first? Something that actually matters yea know? Second this merchant system is awfully annoying. Maybe some of the merchant offers are fine? Like the pet food one is pretty good. But throwing in the genie and Daemon that provide absolutely nothing worth mentioning just adds to the spam factor of this mechanic. I feel like I’m being spammed because I am. As most of us like to speed farm, getting this pop up every couple minutes or whatever is incredibly annoying. ---

> [@Stratelier](#): > > Say that again after you’ve clicked away a Dragonite offer. Just had it come up from the Merchant. Should I be excited to pay the same rate as the daily offer? Took the 3 event keys for 10k gold instead. ---

I feel like I’m on the same boat as you. 5+ years now, and the last « good » thing they put on is the Gap, even though it’s not as fun the last few months. I really though they would try to improve treasure maps. That would have been a step in the right direction, but no, just more offers where the real goal is to slow down heavy farmers. I still play because I care for GW, but right now, I’m thinking about stepping out ---

> Should I be excited to pay the same rate as the daily offer? Maybe not excited, but it’ll make the grind a bit quicker for people buying the dungeon offer, or making dragonite a bit more accessible for free to play players and newer players. ---

Please tell me you have preempted. These merchants not popping up. During a gnomeapalooza in explore. Cos if you havnt it will end the game for everyone. Especially after the last 3 months. Just a warning to fix. Before it happens. ---

Well, I’ll bring a bit of positive feedback, overall it feels like a good update to me. We’re getting more ways of getting dragonite, cursed runes and imperial deeds (and colored deeds), at reasonable prices as well (or free from the Angel). Cheap pet food and event keys. Hoping for a book offer! Boosts from the Daemon or the Genie can also be pretty useful during PF runs if you’re lucky enough to get one at the right moment. ---
