Spring Pack Comparison (74,99?)
Hi,
I'm interested to see what the currently offered Spring Pack looks for everyone. This is what I got:
Obviously, the pricing is very off-putting.

Mine is the same, but $69.99 USD.
However, these are the other ones I'm seeing from Discord:
All the packs seem to be like this. Mid-Tier packs are the best value (in terms of shards - which is what everyone wants). Players that actually pay to support the game get "deals" that are far worse - often between two to three times the price for usually about the same amount of shards.
With the $30 pack, you could buy two and get two sacred shards for $60, vs. one sacred shard for $70. That is extremely messed up. The extra other junk does not make up for the cost at all.
As a paying player, it's straight up offensive, and I'm not sure how it's legal. Other games reward their spenders with VIP perks. This game actively punishes you for spending.
I like the game a lot, but this kind of thing leaves a really bad taste in my mouth. Wouldn't be surprised if the company got hit with a class action suit over it soon.
I'd really like to hear dev communication on this, as it seems to have already driven a number of players away. Why actively antagonize your player base by openly squeezing your paying players for all they're worth?
EDIT: Oh look, an even better offer (via reddit). You could get two sacred shards for $30. I got $200 in gift cards I was going to spend on easter packs this weekend but that's not happening now I see how badly they're trying to rip me off.
What in the actual heck, Plarium.

Well. As we are comparing pack prices, have a look at the photo:
Same pack as shown above at the price of 28.99 GBP
The only thing is that 29.99 USD = 23.07 GBP.
Which makes 26% price difference. Appalling!
P.S. 69.99 USD = 62.24 EURApr 20, 2019, 17:2504/20/19

Devs can't say shit about differing prices now. Same currency, supposed to be same pack. Their 1 star review was well deserved.Mine is the same, but $69.99 USD.

I'm seeing a lot about this lately and it definitely makes me not want to spend any more.
We want equal pricing and equal opportunity for packs. You should cater to your spenders, not try to F them over with some algorithm.

exactly.
and notice that no one from plarium has responded to this thread, because they are cognizant of this underhanded tactic. offer the same deals to everyone, none of this 100$ package bullshit to spenders. $20-$30 packs now and then would be doable.

Hello all,
First off unfortunately, i have to start off with a warning, all comments made which break the forum rules, such as offensive comments will not be tolerated here and with that said i have edited all offending messages out and issuing those indivduals with a warning.
Regarding the main topic, i'll be happy to highlight this to the devs/CM for you guys, with my experience they appreciate any and all feedback they can get.
Many thanks

I also felt being punished by spending $$$ on this game by the developer. When i started this game i spent a few hundreds to get this game started and support the developer. However, i realized that the price tags on the packs offered to me have become ridiculous after i reached level 40. i realized my friend who is f2p got offered cheaper pack and he lives nearby lol. I felt like a total fool if u were to ask me.....Now i am a f2p gamer:-)

I thought this was going to be fixed?
How many times do we have to explain that offering a player a sacred shard - the most valuable shard in the game - at nearly 1/10th the price to lower spending players (REGARDLESS of the rest of the pack contents) is extremely insulting.
I would have bought the bottom pack. I did not buy the top pack.
Stop leeching your players that have put the most money into the game. Either let us choose between ALL variants of packs, or make the offers uniform.
This has gone on too long with no official word from the devs. Stop. This. Now.

This needs to be addressed. Will be happy to spend when you fix this insulting situation.
