New category of player- SP2W

I propose as a community we start a new category of player, Sale Pay to Win.

I only buy at sale prices. So I’m sale p2w.

Devs, you’re missing out on my 40 USD on this egg. Gems arent worth a dollar, but they’re worth 45 cents.

I agree. Dev y’all should really give us a gem sale this egg. I don’t understand why i give us a sale for two new legends monster but not one when it’s guaranteed on 1,3,6,9 etc.

You got to buy smart just like f2p players have to save gems. p2w players should not get everything they want. :slight_smile: but everything they need.

Why not just buy the gems in the sale for the Mortar eggs the other week and save them for a festival like this? You can’t rely on there being a sale every single time.

Why not have the sale permanent? No event time but just reset. Like if I didn’t buy anything from last Christmas I could still get that discount, and once you buy it disappears until a new sale reset overwrites the gem page

That’s basically like halving the price permanently except for the biggest spenders. If you want the ability to buy a 6-pack in all these good festivals then stock up each time there’s a sale, don’t leave yourself with under 300 gems. The Devs can choose when they want to do a sale promotion on gems, which gives them far more flexibility in achieving what they want (e.g. making certain legendaries more common).

I think this is a topic where players will always ask for too much. The sales are a great addition to the game but we shouldn’t get greedy or start expecting them the whole time.

You know , there was a reason I couldn’t buy at that time.

And in past there have always been a gem sale when 1,3,9etc packs are guaranteed.

Idk why f2p players are going all out saying it shouldn’t be allowed since it’s their choice in first place to be one.
Ive been a f2p all of my neo time, it never bothered me if p2w have advantages as I Chose to be f2p, thou except last year anniversary when I bought gems , now I really would appreciate Devs if they could bring gem sale.

I don’t know how that affects anything. Big spenders buy everything, and if the less paying players wanna buy they’d be more encouraged by that sweet discount, and I’m guessing more people would spend.

I never said i never bought gems. I just mean that it would be pointless for anyone to ever save gems if theres always a sale. Less motivation to do well in events if your just going to buy sale pack as well since you know it will be there every festival.

And lets face it, people will just complain and lash out when they dont get the legend they want.

edit: That being said, its not like if there wasnt a sale, i couldn’t be convinced to buy. Currently only have 20 or so gems so as is, missing out on festival completely.

Also, is there only the one type of sale? If you want to control legend prices could have half price or reduced price gem instead of double gems. But maybe, thats difficult to swing with gplay + ios purchases.

All I’m saying is Devs are missing out on my 40 bucks this egg. It also sounds like they’re missing out on Monkeys 40 bucks too. If they dont want that, then fine. But I would expect they make more money during sales then nonsales.

KD, they got my 40 bucks then and they would get 40 more from me now. Whether there was a sale before or not doesnt change the fact that they’re missing out on revenue now.

I guess them offering sales too regularly has started a slippery slope towards a large number of players ONLY buying gems when they are on sale. I don’t know what works best for them money-wise but I stand by what I’ve said that it should be left up to the Devs when they do sales and if you want 300 gems ready for a festival then buy in advance rather than expecting a sale to be there when you want it.

I do understand the position you’re in, sorry if I came across as harsh. A balance I’ve seen before after sale price was introduced to an in-game currency is they made it a weekly thing (30% off gems on a Saturday). Everyone there quickly learns that’s the day you stock up on gems and if you get caught out because there’s a good deal available on another day but you don’t have the gems then you need to pay the higher price. That also allows the Devs to specifically target certain days like doing weekend deals, random extra bonuses for buying gems on certain mid-week days and occasionally doing an awesome deal on a Saturday which they can encourage big spenders to go crazy on.

In Neo Monsters terms I guess what they could do then is have it as a monthly thing that the first ~5 days of a month have the one-time double gems from each bundle. This would encourage people to stock up for the next month at this time and be prepared for the deals that come later. It would also mean they could specifically line up some festivals with that first week of the month if they wanted. This slight level of control for the Devs is generally a good thing.

As you’re also in discord server, I don’t. Know if you read the conversation between me & Dev brd,

He clearly states that we thought there was no need of gem sale as it was just gone by in mortar festival, that was the only reason .

In past in every 1.3,6,9 guaranteed festivals, gem sale are given out, this time it was not,

To be clear , no top player buys gems without gem sale these days, I missed out that dosent mean there should be one coz of my reasons,
But damn I really would appreciate if Devs could bring gem sale this time :pray::pensive:

I think its bit too late for this festival

Thanks I did not know. If the Devs aren’t specifically targeting when gem sales are and are not to promote in different ways then perhaps some of these options people are saying could be adopted. I agree they should’ve put a sale on this festival if the reason they didn’t was because they thought it wasn’t necessary so soon after the mortar one!
