As a paying customer, i'd like answers. | Forums

Why was the gift coin amount dropped from 1000 to 100? How does that improve gameplay? What issue(s) was 1000 coin gifts causing?

When will the update/fix/patch be ready?

it was causing them to potentially lose money by making coins too easy to get making it less tempting to purchase them from the store instead.

Lol, maybe so true

That's almost certainly the reason. It's because paying customers were paying less. I have noticed that my gold has been flying up. I probably pick up 20k a day just from gifts, so I can see why they might want to reduce it, from a business perspective.

its only a matter of time before the reduce the amount of golden tickets you can get from friends. once they realize people are potentially getting 100s a day they will figure out how to stop that too.

I agree. I can easily see them increasing the cool down time between gifting from 6 hours to 24 hours because people are supporting themselves on gifts alone.

Unfortunately, I'm seeing not a good future for this game. I'm not upset or whatsoever because of reducing the coins but I think they are starting to lose their community.

Haha true. Like the old saying goes " if it isn't broken.....break it" or was it something else? I forget

Well, to be fair, it was also because it was unbalancing in their eyes.... You could get 6x the money that the prospector gives with his daily quests, by simply pushing the gift button a lot. While a typical person might say to increase the prospectors payout.... A business is more likely to use the Nerf Stick instead...hence reducing the gifting payout.

While they might increase the time between gifts, I submit that they might simply limit the number of friends to a reasonable amount (30? 50?) simply because it does the same thing AND because it reduces the load on their servers and apparently reduce crashes in the game. I bet they never expected us to make "ticket farms" with hundreds of friends....

Edit: oh, and reduce the number of free matches from 3 to 2
