Hi, guys! All the discounts and offers are distributed according to a special automatic algorithm. Sure, it's possible that some of the players can get more beneficial offers than other ones.

However, there are a lot of discounts and offers in the game. I believe it's always possible to choose a suitable one.

As for the players who make in-game purchases, sure, like in every strategy free-to-play game, there are a lot of things that you can buy to boost your in-game progress. However, in general, in-game purchases serve as a tool to decrease the time, needed for your progress. It's like traveling by car or by plane. You will reach the destination in both cases, but sure, much faster by plane. And the tickets are more expensive accordingly. 





• It is like a Road Race: Time Players go on foot and Coiners use cars, airplanes, jets etc 


Who finishes in the Top Positions? The fastest

The  fastest get the rewards which by 99.99% are Coiners.

     Thank you all! I was very pleased to c multiple response most of which made sense. I will hold off for a while buying any, even though typically I spend $10 per month...maybe just need to stretched it out an extra week or two.

but packages and buying the 50% should not be related
You are absolutely correct H but their answer is just another spin that misses the point regardless of how low the price goes..

firstly, if you hold off buying anything for a month, the price drops back down again 


secondly without coiners there would be no game, at the end of the day companies need to make money to survive, this maybe an unpopular fact for some but it is true

I believe we all recognize that money makes the world go round & that companies need to make money.  The question is how many of the companies do so by providing services & such vs. preying on their customers.  From what I observe Plarium caters to the coiners with the rest of us being the fatted cows led to slaughter for their enjoyment though it takes time for the cows to realize this.  The choice is to become an eater or be eaten depending on investment level.

And no, the game would not cease to exist if Plarium didn't milk coiners & instead actually balanced out the game in a more reasonable fashion.  The bottom line profit may be reduced some but overall player satisfaction would increase.  Sadly our satisfaction is more of a superficial head pat as Plarium continues to develop ideas to extract more cash with each upgrade.  

There really is no point to this discussion as everything will continue as it has.  Slowly we fatted cows will waddle away to other games that are more balanced & I can't help but wonder what will happen when your coiner cow eaters are left with only tofu.
