General Premium Thoughts

[PLMerry]

Some thoughts, (Previously posted elsewhere)

So if I had waited to buy the premium class until after level 15, where I currently am, I could buy the rewards for the top 5 levels for only $5.00 more. I would have gotten 3 space explorer chest, a mystery super building 6, a sky captain bonus, a mysterious airplane and a platinum chest (10 GT 100 ST 10 PEB and QL).

And I would have saved myself 4,050 flask needed for the top 5 levels. Also saving myself from having to play the mini game about 60 +/- games. All for $5.00

That's a very good point. And very clever by G!. Pay $5 to get cooler rewards, but pay $10 to get the coolest ones. It's not feasible to reach level 20 without paying for extra tickets, so forcing your hand to spend more. @PLMerry Its 100 ST, not 1000.

Thanks, typo fixed.

But the problem is they offered it when you didn’t know you’d need it, and don’t seem to be in a hurry to let you add the extra after.
I bet their sales figures shoot downwards for the next event of this type. People wont pay so quickly.

Makes one wonder what the 3-days-to-go special is going to be.

 

[Madge59230]

They did put the fuel special right at the start, so maybe this was all planned. If it was it makes it even worse! Imho

But GI insists that you can finish the event without paying extra.

So either this is a total 💩 or one of the team members messed up the calculation. Nothing new with GI either way.

True, but it would be a slower road to get to Level 15 because the very first premium building gave you 20% more flasks on every mini game....

There is also the "how often do you check in to play" aspect as well. Some people may work from home or otherwise be in a place where they can check in their maps every hour or two, others may only have that opportunity a few times a day. For a senior player all these buildings and bonuses may not be worth it, however at a junior level these are well worth the $5.
