Deals aren't that often and yes it sucks when get one and prestige is already active.

Alright so the verdict is that they do go on sale sometimes when you have prestige activated correct? If so thank you much for giving me the long awaited answer.

This is a major frustration for me.  I continually use the 30 Day Prestige activator for production boost, if I have the rubies.  Now, a 25% discount on Prestige items is running and I am not able to purchase a 30 day activator, just because Prestige is active.

So, when my activator runs out, the discount will be gone.  If Plarium wants limits, they should allow at least 1 purchase at discount even if Prestige is active.

Hello!

Thanks for sharing your opinion with us. 

We'll discuss it with the devs as I see it's a popular request. 

The reason given a long time ago for activating them when they are bought and for not allowing to buy more and stock up is that these activators are cheaper on lower levels of prestige. IMO, this only means that we should be able to buy as many (and not even have them auto-activated!) once we reach the top level.

Personally, I stopped buying discounted activators because it puts people at disadvantage by denying buying to those players who already have one active (i.e., the very people the game is living of).

Cheers! 

at least the request is also the same from my side! Hope you can do something. Same situation!!

Ahoy Captains,

Would be great if Plarium make this option useful :

The option to allow players buy Prestige Activator Items using rubies and store it as "Available", to let us to activate later when we wish.

Just following up on this discussion thread.  I realize the wheels of development can turn slowly.  it's been four months since my previous post, where Alina said they would discuss this with the devs.  When Prestige is activated, you can buy the 30 min, 1 hour and 1 day activators.  We just can't buy the 2 day, 7 day or 30 day activators.

It was also posted that discounts are random.  I don't believe they happen monthly.  Since they are so random, I still suggest that we, the players, be allowed at least 1 purchase to have as available when discounts happen and when Prestige is active.  I would suggest this apply to the 2, 7 and 30 day activators.

Has there been any discussions or plans to implement this?  Any status update on the situation?

I just checked for you and, sadly, there are no news on this front.

Personally, I agree with you that this should be a thing, but I have no influence in these matters.

Thank you Crowbar for the post.  As Alina acknowledged above, this seems be a 'favorite' topic that many players would like to see implemented.  Even you, who doesn't buy acitvators anymore, agree that it should be a thing.  It doesn't seem like a difficult thing to implement.

With Prestige activated, you 'CAN' buy the 30 min, 1 hour and 1 day activators.  Just can't buy the 2 day, 7 day or 30 day activators if Prestige is active.  This is why I posted the suggestion and requested the change.

It has always been this way, ever since I began playing anyway, and that's been 5 years. You have never been able to purchase  prestige discounts as long as you have one activated.

How? Mine don't even have a "Purchase" button. I can claim/activate those I already have, but not buy them.
