Gems are too expensive

LOL you want to know how drug dealing works? People who are in desperate need of some sort of relief let themselves get addicted and pay a lot of money to keep getting relief. This isn’t some drug deal but rather a video game?? Like i stated before there are people willing to spend money on games and those who aren’t and the price of the game doesn’t just convert a non spender into someone who is addicted and spends a lot of money. Maybe they like the game enough to start buying eggs but i promise it isn’t based on the initial 99 cents. I agree with you that people who aren’t addicted won’t pay such  a high price for eggs but i don’t agree that the initial 99 cents of the game makes everyone addicted and willing to pay 100 dollars for 150 gems. You really need to step back and understand that what you are saying is pretty dumb.

Lol i never said the initial prize makes anyone addicted. I said the initial prize helps to sort out the poeple who won’t pay for these sort of games in general. I also said that the initial prize lets people buy this game who wouldnt buy an android game for 40 euros/50 dollars. The addictiveness comes from the game obviously. My god get it togethter. Do you understand anything I am saying or need I explain it on a simpler level?

Dude you are basically saying that people who will pay 99 cents for a game will also pay 100 dollars for 150 gems but there are plenty of people who will pay 99 cents without spending another dime on this game. The game is good and it deserves peoples support so i really don’t see what you are trying to argue here. If you are saying the devs scammed us into paying money by making a good  game then holy ■■■■ are you dumb.

No you are dumb. Obviously you got " scammed". I never said someone who pays 99 cents for a game is willing to pay 100 dollars for it. But someone who is willing to pay 99 cents for a game is more likely to pay for the game again than someone who isn’t willing to pay for it in the first place.

Edit: To make it more understandable. Some children have phones where they can go online and get games but they cant pay for it. So with the 99 cents the developers ensured that these kids wont play this game. Also some people just dont think apps are worth paying money for. The devs also excluded these kind of people with the 99 cents.

To be fair, your argument is completely wrong. The most successful games are free games because they appeal to a wide audience and allow the consumer to test the product. Sooooooo many people download games just because they are free and can be tested. You really think if clash of clans was $.99 it would have had such a strong audience? Heck no. Like I said I bought the game and I’m f2p

Ok now you are just ignoring the other side of your argument where you stated the addictiveness of the game is what causes people to pay so much money but where you say addictiveness i just say that a good game got people to support it. Your claim of people who spend money are more likely to spend more money is just such a simple statement that it can’t even be argued. What i’m debating is your claim of the devs making a game designed to get us to spend money. No ■■■■ they made a game that is good so people will support it. 

Lol this game is addictive not only because its good. And paying because you are addicted is not the same as paying because you support a game. Also what i argued was that if the devs thought the game can be valued so highly that they can argue such a prize for gems the initial prize should have been way higher. Its like selling a board game at an extremely low prize and then selling extra packs for the game consisting of special figures or something at an extremely overrated prize if you get what i mean.

This is one way. As you said some games are free but to get really far in it you need to invest money in it. These games have a high player basis, but only some of them will ever pay for the game. However some games dont want these people, who are not willing to invest into the gamne in the first place. And 99 cents is basically nothing as we said before. So if youre willing to pay for such games in general and youre interested in this game 99 cents is like nothing. It just sorts out the people who wont spent anything on such games. I would pay 99 cents to even try out a game i am interested in.

Relax a few minutes guys, need to make some more popcorn :smile:

Well it’s addictive because its good and worth to play. If gem prices were reasonable i would probably purchase gems but currently i know i’m not gonna invest money and stop playing after some point. They could make more money with better reasonable prices. This game just needs balance Or they will loose players just too quickly.

The way I see it, is that any game F2P or cheap that keeps my attention for a long period of time,(like neomonsters) deserves to be thrown a bone. I don’t just spend money because of rolls, but also to support a game thats only .99 cents and has kept my interest since launch. Are the prices a little steep? Yes they are. Would I like a price cut on gems? Yes, but like I said, I like to support the game that I like, not too many phone games hold my attention for long.

Sadly games are not only addictive because they are good. The way this game is structured that the further you get, the more you play, the more you invest, the better the monsters you get(not only considering their strength, but also their graphic design). There is a scheme behind such games.

Yes probably we are all aware of that. P2w games are too common. Other then childrens every man responsible for their own actions. I don’t think it’s a scheme but strategy. They created a game based on the incomes coming from the gems. If its balanced and help you enjoy the game more its justified for me. But instead if it’s preventing you from enjoying the game it’s a shame, thats where i move on. Simple. The reason we are all argue and trying to prove something beccause we like this game. So almighty devs hear us maybe? :slight_smile:

Yes that is true. However in my country, germany, this game is suited for everyone over the age of 6. I would totally agree with you if this game was suited for people over the age of 18 only. But this way children get manipulated into spending money on this game. i know what you’re thinking: Their parents are responsible for them. but in our current society most children get their smartphones with a contract and therefore parents most of the time only later find out that their children spent a lot of money on a game like this. Maybe the parents agreed on buying this game for 99 cents without knowing that you can easily spend a 100 dollar ingame.

Edit: if it would at least mention in its adroid/itunes description that you can spend up to a 100 dollars ingame.

If a 6 yo get a smartphone with a paid account,well shame to the parents,not the devs.

Oh and this is a screenshot from the google play store, in-app purchase to 0.99 to 79.99$ 

Man you are throwing so much poop to this game and to the devs that you remind me of that crazy animal friendly guy who wanted to get cancelled all the ingridients monsters cause it’s not right that they are “sacrified” and children don’t have to know this :frowning:

If someone want to spend money let it be,I play since early april and spent almost 15 dollars,I’m addicted?

I dont know where u got this from but certainly not from the google play shop. It doesnt show it there. Obviously somewhere it shows, but you dont read every site before buying a game. And i said this game is suited for children from 6 years on. I dont believe parents give a 6 year old a smart phone, but what about a 13 year old?

Man are you kidding me? Like EVERY other game or app,when you open it on the play store,tap “read more” and just scroll a little down to see all these info like the developer,the last update and the current version

This is the most drama I’ve seen on this forum in a longgggggg time lol.

What are you guys even complaining about? Seriously… Why does it matter if the game can only be completed by spending lots of money. We are all on this forum because we play the game and we like it. No problems right?

Well you didn’t saw the thread about the ingredients that I was talking about ahahahah

Ignorance is bliss.
