Gold sale - UK - Android

[maraudermat]

Is the treasury of gold still 100 pounds in the play store for everyone else in the UK too?

Also, don't you think its time the UK was charged fairly in line with the exchange rate... compared to the rest of Europe? The exchange rate has been between 1.14 and 1.25 for years. Its hardly fair on UK customers that europeans can get vaults or treasuries of gold for between 1/6 to 1/4 less in price than the UK. It gives Europeans a clear competitive advantage in this game

so even after the 20% off sale, a treasury of gold (i guess, its same as the vault of gold) costs you 100 pounds? wow .. i wonder if there's a chart/table where we can see/analyze what are people from different parts of the world actually paying for the same amount of gold. will be interesting.

I believe a treasury is the new one, 3100 gold (2 vaults + 100 gold). I believe it's on Android-only because of iTunes limitations on in-app purchase sizes.

Gree have forgotten to reduce the price. The named the item 20% off... then forgot to take the 20% off the actual payment. Not the first time they have done this. But again... the other underlying issue is that the Pound is not the same as the euro in terms of currency, yet Gree seem to treat it the same.

I kinda touched on this in another game. It is for KA but it is still the same... This is just a little math I did the other day.

It really all depends on how you look at it.

Here in the U.S. our prices are:
Handful of Gems (50) -- $4.99 ($.0998 per single Gem or 6.48p per single gem)
Pile of Gems (110) -- 10% Extra -- $9.99($.0908 per single Gem or 5.89p per single gem)
Bag of Gems (240) -- 20% Extra -- $19.99 ($.0833 per single Gem or 5.41p per single gem)
Chest of Gems (650) -- 30% Extra -- $49.99 ($.0769 per single gem or 4.99p per single Gem)
Mountain of Gold (1500) -- 50% Extra -- $99.99 ($.0666 per single Gem or 4.28p per single gem)
** I carried the numbers out a bit on the USD conversion just to show more exact numbers. $.01 ~= .65p

While yours are:
Handful of Gems (50) --- £2.99 (5.98p per single Gem or $.0920 per single gem)
Pile of Gems (110) --- 10% Extra --- £6.99 (6.35p per single Gem $.1075)
Bag of Gems (240) --- 20% Extra --- £13.99 (5.83p per single Gem $.0869)
Chest of Gems (650) --- 30% Extra --- £34.99 (5.38p per single Gem $.0828 )
Mountain of Gold (1500) --- 50% Extra --- £69.99 (4.67p per single Gem $.0718)

Price Per Gem (USD)
My Price / Your Price
.0998 / .0920 (Should be ~.1181 based on other prices)
.0908 / .1075
.0833 / .0869
.0769 / .0828
.0666 / .0718

So ultimately the price of your gems costs a bit more than I can purchase them for. But that's simply due to conversion, currency, inflation, Itunes, etc.

I will agree with you, the %extra is displayed a little wrong.
But If you look at it another way (ignoring what it costs us both as individuals). You are actually receiving a discount on the gems you are purchasing(in the 50 gem pack). I believe the pricing they gave you was the best they could do to try and keep all the prices at a .99 cost(ie. 2.99, 4.99, 49.99 etc.) As these look better to the customer when making a purchase.

Thanks Dirt Road Joe. Fed up of the UK getting a rougher ride than other countries when its supposed to be a level playing field

Hi, is there any info on when this will be fixed?

I need to buy my bars for the world domination event tonight, and I want as much as possible for my money.

If I go ahead and pay £100 for the treasury, will GREE give me £20 worth of bars back?

With sale prices, that would be approximatley 480 bars.

Is there anyone I can talk to on here besides the support team, as they usually take 2 weeks to reply.

[maraudermat]

I'm not purchasing until they sort it out

[dts]

I had an issue like this before, where I purchased gold without recieving sale prices.
The outcome was, the support guy added bars to my account.

I've purchased mines, as I cannot wait until this is fixed, battle starts tonight and we all gotta be ready.

Sent my ticket in, can let you know how it goes, if you're interested?

[maraudermat]

yes plz dts
