this is a comment Based on my unbiased opinion

Ugh, you can’t start like that. Your opinion is your own and as such it is obviously going to be biased. Honestly because of that sentence I just stopped reading.

[FeelTheBern]

I’m finished with the post, accomplished what I set out for

Thanks again all, happy gemming

I have never spent any real money in this game. I want to but there is literally nothing worth the value, everything should be about 10-20% of what it costs.

I’m VIP 6 and I’ve felt I’ve received my money’s worth for what I’ve spent. Sadly I’ve had a very hard time recommending anyone buy anything for the last year or so because of my personal unhappiness with the game direction and my belief that you don’t financially reward decisions you consider bad.

@Doordash_Support

Instead, I will play for free and offer them no profit, and consistently complain on the forum about the pay to win/play direction of the game.

Be prepared to be accused of having an agenda. When I started making similar statements a year ago, that’s what happened to me.

@Slypenslyde

I have never understood why a single troop in this game is valued at the cost of a new Pokemon game.

Yup. Every day when I get the $50 “weekly deal” popup ad I roll my eyes. Even in the days when I was desperate to get a legendary like Queen Mab, Kraken, Psion, etc I would have never paid $50 for it. Simply being in an active guild brings enough keys where all you need is patience and you’ll get it.

@Santandrix

I think the only real good deal as a endgamer is the ring of wonder and that is all I would buy.

“Good deal” is subjective. I would never pay what amounts to a $20 monthly subscription for a mobile game. I paid $50 for the DK armor and got permanent buffs, why would I pay for temporary buffs? Again, this is subjective. I’m merely offering the other side of the coin

@Salibu

There is no reason to give feedback…they dont listen…and when they do…its a year later.

I believe that the devs do listen. I just think they’re held back by/beholden to 505, who pays their salaries. The devs can listen all day long but unless their bosses make the call, there’s likely little they can do, and I’m guessing throwing the publisher under the bus probably isn’t the best action for a dev studio to take if they want to continue to do business with the publisher.

@Rickygervais

Also when they do a “gem sale” they need to drop the price and not give more gem %

Pretty much, but given how often we’re seeing these “sales” now it seems obvious 505 will never change this.

@FeelTheBern

Gotta speak in numbers so these morons at the top understand

Ironically this is why I’ve spent most of the last year suggesting people not spend money on this game. The language of business is money and if a business isn’t making money they’re more likely to review their practices.

@Smuggler007

If the devs really cared with a passion for this game like they did once upon a time,

I believe the devs still very much have passion for the game. The devs aren’t the ones in control of game direction, though. (I will revise my statement immediately if a dev corrects me on this.) That’s the publisher.

@KYLENATOR001

First thing I would like to say, is that this is not directed at you, or any of the devs, but this statement is something that bothers me greatly.

Agreed 1000% with this entire response. As critical as I’ve been of the game over the last year, I’ve also tried to be very careful to pin the “blame” where it belongs, and that isn’t on the devs.

[Mariox]

As in most F2P games, I spend money to support the game I spend a lot of time playing. For the last year I have been buying Ring of Wonders and daily gems.

Gem packs have much more value to new players then older players.
