    Game of chance vs. customer loyalty

    I get that this game is designed to make money but I disagree with making chances to win for players a random event.

    This game is now becoming a game of chance and is taking away from people being able to boost their stats with gold. This creates player dis-satisfaction. When players are not happy they leave. On the contrary, if the events were gold spend based with sure payout then those that spend to achieve those goals are happy. Creating customer loyalty. Increased loyalty leads to increased profits. This is a win win situation.

    People spend whatever they are comfortable with in this game and should not be penalized by random occurrences.

    For example during this last boss event, I would rather have to hit the final boss 100 times for 1 kill but get a prize than to kill 50 extra 100 bosses to get junk at the hope of getting a prize. Same spend of gold but one situation creates loyalty and the other creates posts like this.

    Lottery games are not allowed in many countries. You buy gold with real money, like buying chips in a online casino. That's illeagal.
    It won't take long before the game is taken down in these countries.

    Exclamation

    I have to agree with the OP.

    Gree, if you wanted the boss to be a gold event why not just increase the hp of the boss?

    Why do you have to ruin a perfectly good event by turning it into a glorified slot machine?


    You remove a lot of integrity of the game when you have the prizes work through random chance.

    The games been going on for almost 3 years - lotteries and gambling involve a chance to win real money. Maybe I missed it, but CC has never advertised or alluded to winning anything similar to a legal public currency.

    EXACTLY, its not gambling if you have no chance at all to win anything. Light pixels do not count as "winning" anything.

    Because these events are luck based, not skill based, is what makes them gambling.

    The argument that you cannot take money out of a the game is not true due to real money transfer. (accounts are sold for real money and uzis too). An account is worth real money. You cannot sell them ingame for real cash, but outside the game you can. That's why in my opinion this game is illegal gambling.

    Its nice you have an opinion but its wrong. Besides not being able to win anything material, there's no wager since its free to tap.

    Kampa Gacha.

    Read about it; it's Gree's calling card. Everything they do is based off of this system. Sadly, customer loyalty/satisfaction is not a Gree calling card.

    Play for free. In this game, First place is last place.

    The only thing that would save this random drop is to let us choose the level of Epic Boss like we can for Raid Boss farming.
