mystery box xp points

aussiefarmgalaussiefarmgal Posts: 228
I'd like to know please if the 'prize' of a few xp points is still one of the surprises in the mystery boxes? I love mystery boxes except when I get this 'booby prize' - spending $250 gold for 5 xp points has to be the biggest disappointment EVER with this game. I was stupid enough to keep buying after the first time, thinking they were rare 'prizes'. After the 3rd or 4th time I have sadly boycotted these boxes. I miss them! They were my biggest splurge, buying 4-8 each time, but I can't afford to waste my gold on something I can very quickly earn myself in regular play.

Can a manager please check? I am hoping it will be removed so I can once again buy mystery boxes, I have gotten too many of these to chance them any more.
If not, will they ever be removed?

    but most are very good and worth the gold. But the xp one is SO BAD that it makes the whole mystery box a dud in my opinion. I want to feel that I at least get my money's worth, but mostly more than my money's worth. And never, less than it's worth.

    The whole idea of a mystery box is just that "Mystery" If you knew what was in the box it would no longer be a mystery box. As for the XP points in some of the boxes, I am sorry :(but they are there to stay.

    But you know what's NOT in the box, like you are not going to get a pig in the box, or wildflowers (how angry would you be if you paid 250 gold for 5 wildflowers...). So you could easily move the measly XP into that category. (This is starting to sound like a suggestion though.)

    I agree that the other prizes you can get in the mystery box are great, but after getting 7xp a couple of times I'm not spending my gold on them, on the off chance I get something like that.

    I don't want to know what is in the boxes, I love the whole mystery and surprise of it which I think I made clear. But I hate having one with such poor value. Negates the whole thing which I presumed was supposed to be a good surprise as everything else is a bonus? Perhaps I misunderstood and it was a trick or treat box?

    But thank you Farmer Tess for letting me know that the xp will remain. I now know not to buy them anymore as I don't want to waste my gold.

    And Jaystarr, I think it is a great suggestion, I think there are probably quite a number of others who don't post who don't buy because of this stupid 'reward'. GGS will earn more gold if they take out this booby prize.

    That's awesome! I understand it is a mystery box but it pays to make it worth it for whoevers buying it. Gold is golden around here!

    Do not, under any circumstances buy the mystery box or anything else "Buddy" sells, he's a charlatan.

    Repeated threads have verified this as worse than a third rate Vegas slot machine.

    Using the logic "you may get lucky" is akin to saying crossing the street blindfolded, you may make it across.

    Just don't do it and Buddy will go away.

    I payed for a mysterybox in Gold, and i got 5000 dollars. I can earn 5000 dollars in a minute, so i felt like i had been robbed. My one and only time buying a mysterybox !!!

    lol It would be interesting to know what other things people have got in the mystery box..... not that it will entice me to purchase one again.. but that sounds like 2 duds... 7 xp points and 5000 farm dollars! Nobody in their right mind would purchase either for 250 gold!

    My way of thinking, a mystery box is like a lucky dip... normally you would expect to receive a 'gift' greater in value than the purchase price!

    I got Eva Apple and Steve Screwdriver for something like 40 hours the last two times Buddy was at my farm. But also the bad 5xp.

    Got xp and farmdollars, but also super and premium feed, fertilizer and humus and even once a maypole!! The last one was the best gift I've ever got ^^ And I know I may get something really bad when I buy it, just like trying my luck on getting something as good as the maypole again. Last two times that I bought I think I got 30 premium pigs feed and 2 premium humus.

    I've had super feed before, but the last 3 times were 5xp, 7xp and 7xp; what a waste of gold. That's when I decided I was better off not running the risk of wasting gold.

    I too love the mystery boxes, but find too much for too little. Also thinking of boycotting them.
