What is up with how much coins and gems cost? | Forums

[John.E.Smoke]

Before I rant, I am posing this because I am so stoked that it is out and I want to support Redlynx, then I run across the pricing model to help support them!!! I'm definitely okay spending 5 to 10 bucks over time, BUT what will it do for me if there are options to spend $100 bucks! Will my 5 bucks not do much for me and 100,000 coins be a waste?

Also, who in the heck is going to pay $100 for a mobile game??? Why is it priced like that? it should look more like $1-bag, $2, $3, $5, $10-throne!!! are there other threads that explain why they would want to charge so much?

It's not worth buying anything from that store at the moment. You'll spend it all in an instant and not get much out of it.

I don't know who they were targeting with the $100 packages... Perhaps they were hoping people would buy them accidentally.

it sounds crazy but people really do spend hundreds of dollars on mobile games. its hard to imagine someone spending hundreds on this game but some people have so much money a $100 is nothing to them.

Sadly, even spending a $100 doesnt get you much in this game. you would imagine if you spent $100 you would be in a position to never even have to think about spending another dollar on this game but that is definitely not the case. you could easily go through that hundred dollar purchase in a few hours especially in the later parts of the game.

I would love to support red lynx for this game but for one the current IAP are too limited to make worth purchasing and two i cant support this type of greedy system.

Strongly urge you to not spend anything without understanding the lack of value you get. The $99 money purchase for 2.8 million coins would only pay for the last 3 levels upgrade for a single bike (mantis, to be precise) You will need at least 3 such bikes to complete existing levels...one for each tier. What you would get for $10 is laughably small. This game has one of the most aggressive F2P models ever made,IMO; it's designed to separate you from your wallet and then ask for your firstborn ... It's only saving grace is that the gameplay itself is well done; just be prepared for a slow grind if you intend to play without spending.

I get a 10$ itunes voucher every month for free and I really don't know what to do with them so I did spend twice of these vouchers for gems.

But I would never ever spend real money.
