My island is neither finished nor end explored. I urgently need etchings and wait since a long time for the next offer. I need too many etchings. I can not win all of them in the events. Even with the few concretely with etchings equipped offered I do not really get on. What's happening? Was the 25% discount simply forgotten in vacation mode?

It seems to me to be a terrible game model unless, always an unless, they are getting a lot of buyers of rubies to convert them to etchings. Perhaps, after a sale, the buying really drops off for a net loss of sale average say up to two weeks after said sale.

Hello!

No, we don't close this discount. Though I agree the interval is longer than it was before. 

I will forward this feedback to the Department responsible for discounts and Tournaments schedule.

I keep looking forward to the next ...

good luck and pleasant sailing

Why has Plarium stopped the 30% upgrade etching discount?  The upgrade etching has created a caste system where the haves (maybe 1-5% of the players) completely dominate the remainder of the players.  It has caused an exodus of long time players and keeps any community feeling to develop. 

While I'd also like them back, is it really that big of a difference between 25% that we're getting now (the last one was on 2019-07-29) and 30% that we used to get?

Also, the power difference doesn't come from etchings. It comes from units, which big spenders have far more of than non-coiners, and that won't change.
