Sales and discounts rant.

I guess the more you spend on this game the worse your discounts will be on the weekly specials. I got the ruby with barnacles sale and it was a $49 with a discount of 50%. Not going to buy something like that. Already bought stuff at 60% discount so I guess that is why it is at 50% now. So if I buy this the next special will be like 40% off. Going to hold off on these special deals and see if by not buying for like a month the discount will get better. How low has someone seen your discount go? The developers should know that it is the paying customers that keeps the game alive so why do they go as far as making discounts so bad for the paying customers. I think 70% discount is already bad when you've already paid your dues to keep the game alive. It's not like everyone has deep pockets like a few in this game to where they can buy whatever you give to them to buy. Then there are the non paying customers you give them 90% off deals just to lure em in to buy it. Maybe they will buy it who knows. I guess it is a business and you guys got it all planned out on who and what to give to as a discount % to make your money. Make your money but please don't undercut the real paying customers too much.

I would also like to note that why do some people have the special deal with the new ruby and barnacle design and some people don't?

I don't understand this. Can you ask someone to make you a screenshot of that deal?

As for your other question, yes, that's my offer from a few months ago. As I wrote in that other post: they keep getting smaller until they hit the bottom ($2/$5/$10). Then, if you wait even longer, you get what I showed there. And by "wait" I mean not buy at all (specials, 3 chests, ordinary offers,... nothing).

I get between 1 and 3 of the same offer for 3 chests; those "ordinary specials" (like the ones from my screenshot) I usually get 2 of each.

The Russians aren't putting plarium down, they aren't telling you another game to play and comparing it...

this is rather silly to even compare, ive noticed many of the russians now speek both languages, in case a typo is made their original language is there... 


The other thread you mention is talking about the game and ruby packs, ive not seen negitive feed back on it that goes way to far...

instead to give me straight answer you are  telling me to quit ?

typical.....


you are not here to tell me why im playing this game  or when is my time to move along, you are forum moderator so act like one, if you dont know how to do that leave it to someone like Crowbar.....

i guess i will really need to copy/paste everything i mentioned to prove my point and show how you have double standards for some of us .....

so blasphemy tells nightwolf to leave the game? why is this post not deleted ...



3.11. Share content with the aim of inciting or appealing to users to leave the game





Maybe this rule is why nobody can give a statement about that alt/bot thing, because it would lead to players leave the game ...

i guess 3.11 does not applies on moderators

I don't know why are you talking with that NSF and RuAL  ***kisser who enjoying in the current game situation .

She hated PS & CB that is why she talk like this .

Moderators who play game on the same server are the worst thing !

thank you for pointing it out 


i am sure Blas did not mean asking you to quit, it is simply a confirmation that "playing" is the players choice 

if you hate a specific feature in the game for example prizes then you can ignore them and do PvP

same with tournaments 

all what she meant was that we want you to have fun at all time and it is completely up to you to evaluate whether playing plarium games is fun or not 

of course remember you can submit feedback here on the forum and suggest improvements :))

( accept my apologies for the slow response i drank lots of Rum lately  )

We can submit feebdack and suggest improvements? Ban all the russian bot-havens, since they appeared the game is no fun anymore.

It's not allowed.

Anyone can open a new account and send parrots. How would you prevent that?

Plarium could censor the mention of the URL, but that can be spoofed, or the sender(s) can simply make new shortened URLs for every parrot, etc. In other words, censorship is easy to avoid.

While I do think that Plarium could and should do more about these problems (namely, more aggressively work on banning alts, which bots essentially are), I don't think there is much that can be done against this kind of spam, and this opinion has nothing to do with me being a mod.

Thanks for the above info Kaptain Kidd. It is strange why this is allowed to be offered on their site.

Greetings Pirates

AWMLLR It is a scam to try to collect your information 

This message has been around for a bit now and yet Plarium can do nothing to shut it down 

If this is not a Plarium site why is that ?

The moderators suggest you to take a screen shot and submit a ticket so nothing will be done about it like every thing else here 

Cheers

double rules for different people is that it ?






we understand your frustration about what happened and with what Russians did 


however pls understand we must remain neutral at all times even if it is our brotherhood was attacked by them 


there are several Mods for this forum as well as a community manager and an admin so there is no way all are biased so pls dont spread false accusations 


thank you

*EDITED*

I removed my post i had here


I just wanted to say that i do understand your frustration, I play this game too daily

I too seen two top brotherhoods get ripped off the map..

did i agree with such? No i didn't I agree with fair game play 

yet trying to divide game and forums do get frustrating, even the Moderators have a set of rules we try and obey

Im not kissing anyones butt on here we are still allied with the same alliances we had before all this drama took place on the map..

to be accused as  i am is very childish 


you have every right to seek this to a CM or Adminstrator if you don't think im doing my job as a mod

can't agree with something that isn't true..



What i don't like is


φ the endless amounts of bots in the game

φ exploiters - players that will go as far as using something to gain advantages in the game when it's not allowed 

φ questions i can't reply to/nor understand how to reply, but i do my best as a mod, 

φ being accused of things that isn't true 

φ last but not least trolls 



It's a game made to have fun playing, not to be rude or anything, but if you aren't having fun any more maybe it is time to move along?
