I've officially going gem free!! I spent over 3 mountains and still stuck on 9/10 Gree Wtf... While free players are at 7/10... I get a nice 16k unit for an extra 200-300 hundred dollars! Great just great!! No more..I've been spending hundreds of dollars each month. After I use up these 700 gems I'm officially going gem free.. No more money in your greedy pockets!
The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.
I have a problem :( Now time to have a beer and get off this problem
Its said every box event. Its a lottery and there is not guarantee to get 10 coins even if you spend several mountains of gems. The odds get better though but no guarantee. Converting to gemfree player sounds healthy for you.
The occasional "easy one" keeps people spending gems on these events. They get trully fed up with them, then they get one where it costs just a couple hundred gems and all of a sudden back on the Box Event bandwagon.
I'm not a heavy gemmer at all anyways, but I stay away from these entirely.
Join the club.... They literally turn the ancient coin drop on and off.
Box events are gambling...
a. To bet on an uncertain outcome, as of a contest.
b. To play a game of chance for stakes.
BUT
Unlike casino gambling where odds can be calculated, box event odds are unknown. Personally, I believe Gree has shifting odds on boxes based on: event, number of gems spent, and number of coins you already have. Of course, everyone gets lucky once in a while - as I got 10/10 completely free for the Chalice event for the "Spirit of Chalice" with 20% Magic attack. As stated by Blade, the chalice is the "sucker" event that lures people in. Since I believe that Gree changes odds for every box event, I have never spent a penny on them....(*I hope this doesn't get me banned again*). If so, I will see you all in a week.
after spending thousands on this game (dont tell my wife), I have gone gem free, it felt like addiction withdrawl at first but I am now over it and feel better and can afford to go out to dinner more often
I can tell you this, after over 126 worthless units it goes on a percentage scale. With gold you have about a 35% chance of qualifying for getting anything then you're into the round with a less than 1% chance of getting an ancient coin.
Thanks Larry, that makes perfect sense.Quote:

But overall, I imagine you could save a few gems (and $$$) by not rushing through it quite as much. Of course, it does take a lot more time so if you can't log-in on a regular basis then gems is probably your best option. Good luck!
And I probably just jinxed myself and will be stuck on 9 coins for 3 days.
there seem to be a lot of games out there that are not giving player a "random chance". I play several slot machine games and it is obvious that the closer you get to completing an event, the tougher the odds get
Wow, that sucks! My buddy got all 10 with the gold option, and another buddy is stuck on 9/10 and has spent 3 mountains as well! How is that fair?! GREEdy will never change! Fail!
Really notice a lot of complaints on these....if you cast your mind back to the Friggin Chimera event that back then i spent a mountain to get jack shyte ! nowaday with stat inflation it probably close same but still same result,
I know the the best way to win
find the exit and leave...simple and logical....never look back
you will be beter off and your bank balance will thankyou also
and if your married spend your money on her
happy wife...happy life
Exiting does appear to be the only winning strategy.Quote:
