Take out the 100 gold from watching the adverts. It’s bad enough that you add this feature, but to make 100 gold one of the rewards is just insulting. I watched the videos twice today and got 100 gold both times. ---

Chaos shards… Gold keys… And now this… ![Screenshot_20200429-121706](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/2/6/26e99f27d18ecb2168fe1e37f773ddb911573e5b.jpeg) To be fair though that was all on my main account. All 6 alt accounts received 100 gold for my trouble. Not anywhere close to the expected amount we were led to believe we’d receive prior to the update. ---

What were we promised again?.. I thought I read somewhere that it was equivalent to half a PVP match but I might be mistaken. ---

With zero clarifiers of “it could be as much as half the gold in a pvp match”. So if it was ranked…then 4k would be fair. If it was casual then I guess 1k thanks to the 4.7 nerf… which is still…bull shit. ---

As far as I read in their official announcement, we were promised rewards that could be comparable to 30 seconds of game time. Now, I can tell you for sure that I can make more than 100 gold in 30 seconds of play time :)). I am aware that this is a random reward and that I might get 10 diamonds or whatever. But what are the chances for that? And I have to watch a silly add for 45 seconds!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! No, thank you. I’ll just stick to my own farming teams when I need gold or souls ---

Not only am I being pulled out of the game for the duration of the ad, but they’re making money off me. I should be getting a couple thousand gold, maybe some tokens, and a couple gems for that. In fact, watching the ad should be comparable to a tribute. That way it directly scales with each player. ---

Damn right! This is what I thought the rewards would be like when they mentioned this feature at the beginning. ---

Watch the ad, get the every-20-min reward. Different for everyone. As a bonus, every week or so, they do a 3x each tribute, all day long, or collect every 5 min instead of 20. Mighty nice of them. ---

I suppose you can get 100, 400, 3000 gold, 10 gems , 3 gold keys, 2 glory keys, 1 gem key, 35 chaos shards, 50, 100 shards, 100 souls. Not just 100 gold. ---

That wasn’t my point. None of those rewards, except maybe the gems and chaos shards have any real value for somebody that has been playing the game for a bit. And they are not something that you can not quite easily get more of by just playing the game. Is it worth me watching 3 ads per day and losing 3\*45 s of play time just for the hope of maybe getting 10 gems? For me, no, I’d rather just play the game ---

I’m sorry, I don’t get your point. I’m merely pointing out that the 100 gold reward is nothing short of insulting for doing the Devs a favor. Similar cases could be made for the 3 gold keys, and maybe the 100 souls. ---

I checked last night and a couple times today, I never get the option of watching anything, it simply says “There are no ads available to be viewed. Please try again later”. Any trick to it? ---

Watch an Ad to receive a tribute could be interesting. I think it should at least scale with your highest or current % Gold boost Armor, since this is the more direct equivalent of what your game time will reward you. I think I’m understanding now how they valued it, and it’s similar to how the Amanithrax compensations were valued with a Hoard quality of 0 in mind. If you imagine a newish account with no Armor bonuses playing a Ranked PvP match, the rewards are actually pretty low and take a while to receive compared to mid or end game (average stats). If anyone has a new account and could provide a screenshot of Ranked PvP offerings, I think that would help. ---

Even just “pick a kingdom and get its tribute” would be halfway decent by comparison. There’s no _gems_ involved that way though so be careful what we wish for here … maybe roll all our kingdoms with way reduced rates, we might still collect a few kingdoms and N-1 gems that way, instead of a dozen or twenty. ---

Id be happy for an extra tribute. Like, I collect tribute, I watch an add, I can collect tribute again. ---

Another two collections today, 100 souls and 100 gold. I doubt I will collect them much longer, I can get considerably better rewards from a 15/20 second low level explore. Why should I waste time helping the Devs when then care so little about us.
