Not that I buy gold, but that's pretty crap for people who do.

Gree should reward customers who have bought gold before, just for sticking around.

I didn't follow the entire thread so don't know what became of it, I am sure bigspam knows better about that, but when I visited over there it seemed to be a fiasco with even a dev mentioning he hadn't heard of this sale at that amount. A bunch of posters put in that when they clicked buy it still showed the 20 percent, not the 40

It's a good day I was slowly running out of gold and was thinking to buy some soon, plus today support gave me back my 318 gold I wasted by misclicking "finish expansion". Support was very quick, less than 24 hours later after I reported misclick I got gold back. Nice...

That's so wrong of Gree to only offer that sale to players who haven't purchased gold before. I can't see it on either of my accounts

Wtf!!! Way to reward your paying customers *******s! I get what your trying to do! Like a drug dealer offering cheap prices to get u hooked then raise once they're bite by the golden crack pipe! But what slap to people lining your greedy pockets !

I wouldn't buy gold if it were 99% off

Johnny70
09-24-2012, 08:42 PM
so has anybody bought any gold for 40% off? because when this happened about a week ago on MW it said 40% off but when you went to buy it it was only 20% off

It really is taking the mickey out of us golden crack pipe smokers. If they wanted to do a different type of gold sale they should of done a tiered gold sale

Those who have never purchased gold get 50% off
Those who have purchased a lot of gold get 40% off
Those who purchase gold occasionally get 30% off

Or like Johnny said, it might be another splash page mess up by Gree.

G, I take it you've purchased some gold from this sale? Can you confirm it's not a splash page mistake?


I wouldn't buy gold if it were 99% off

Really? So if a vault of gold was being sold at 99% off, you wouldn't buy some? At a price of 70 pence per vault it's a no brainer in the world of Crime City! Only an idiot wouldn't purchase gold at that price!


so has anybody bought any gold for 40% off? because when this happened about a week ago on MW it said 40% off but when you went to buy it it was only 20% off

Lol, that wouldn't surprise me.

Here's what happened when this semi-invisible sale happened in MW. Sorry I know these quotes are long, but basically you can buy gold at the normal prices, and support will be willing to credit you the bonus gold as if it were a 40% off sale. (ie: a vault purchased at 99.99 = 2,500 gold for this sale). But buy at your own risk, as you can see, Miner has been waiting nearly a week for the bonus to be credited.


Just got this reply from my ticket:



A G, Sep 20 14:19 (PDT):
Hello Gareth,

Thank you for the message. We are aware that not all of our players received notice of this sale, and we are investigating why. I'm afraid I cannot reactivate the sale for you on an individual basis, but I can credit you 40% more gold on all purchases made over the next two day, 9/19 to 9/21. Please let me know when you have completed your purchasing and I will credit you the gold.

Regards,

A



I received the same response as Gareth. I wrote back and told them that this was not sufficient.

Here's my reply to support:

"I appreciate the offer. The math doesn't quite line up though. If I would purchase 3 vaults at 40% off, it would cost $180 and I would end up with 4,500 gold.
If I buy 2 vaults and you give 40% more, then I spend $200 for 4,200 (1500 x 1.4 x 2) gold.

To truly have the same net effect, $200 purchase should provide 5,000 gold (4,500 / $180 = 25 x 200 = 5,000).

If I purchase 2 vaults, will you credit the additional 2,000 gold?"

24 hours later, I hadn't received a response and sent another reply as follows:

"I have not heard back on this. I simply cannot make a purchase until I know the math is accurate on the bonus. Please let me know."

1 minute later, I got the reply below:

"I'll do that in this case to make the math work out correctly. Let me know when you purchased the vaults."

Within 10 minutes, I sent this message:

"Thanks. 2 vaults have been purchased." with a follow-up minutes later saying this, "I should have said thank you in advance by the way for crediting the 2,000 gold."

That was 6 days ago. I haven't received the bonus gold and have sent 2 more replies to this ticket without a single response. Additionally, I sent a PM to (er) with the ticket number asking him to write my ticket number on something and throw it at support and he said he would look into it right way.

I know we're not supposed to create threads or make posts crying out for someone to help, but I've sent 6 replies to this ticket and PM'd a mod and can't even get a simple response back from them. What else am I supposed to do?

I can confirm it's working. I bought couple vaults 39.99£ each instead of 69.99£ normal price. Then I tryed to buy third I got message bla bla contact iTunes support. It's common thing then I spend to much- to quick, I had it before. I think it's fraud prevention or something from iTunes.

My wife got this 40% sale this morning on both CC and MW. She has definitely never bought any, but she is not a new player.

To be honest, Its pretty sad that they are only offering this deal to those that are least likely to make good use of it!
Its almost like they didnt think we would discuss it here in this forum.

+1

Stupid thing is that If i was offered I would buy some at 40% off.
Only reason I havent bought it more than once is because the price is way OTT.

I wonder if this is Gree's attempt at giving newer players a chance of surviving amongst the more experienced players.

Well they obviously know that the bigspenders would buy enough gold to last them a life time :P

That wouldn't make sense...

If any rich n00bs are playing.... this could be a good time to reach godlike status... but they probably have no idea how good of a deal that really is...

I wonder if someone bought X amount of gold they would get the gold bonus?

I am slowly becoming disillusioned with this game. People who don't buy gold generally won't buy gold no matter what the offer is. I'm sure they will get some that will take them up on the offer. But it is unfair to offer this deal to a select few. I would hope that to balance it out they offer the gold spenders so kind of offer (queue the dreamy haze sequence of me hoping in vain)

This is the same 40% gold sale that MW had & is having again. I've never bought MW gold. The first MW 24-hour sale lasted 3 or 4 24-hour periods.


I just started an LLP on my iPhone and never received the offer.
If you don't get the sale this time, wait. In a few weeks IF you have not bought gold, you'll get the 40% sale again.

Me neither. From what everyone is saying, it's only available to people on iOS who have never purchased gold before. Talk about a giant slap in the face to the segment that pays their bills.

Talk about a giant slap in the face to the segment that pays their bills.It seems that way but from their perspective they're just interested in trying to acquire new spenders...FWIW I see the sale on our iPad - my son's account, level 130, never purchased gold.

If you can't see the sale and really want to take advantage of it, send a ticket to support and they will credit you the bonus gold.

1500 / 59.99 = 25 gold per dollar spent @ 40% off

(99.99 * 25) = 2,500 gold for a vault at full price

Yes, you'll have to pay full price and wait for support to credit you the bonus gold. So this won't go over well for people looking to buy one cheap vault. But you can still take advantage of this sale if you really want to.
