hot deals

Hi,
    I'm just curious but is anyone else getting really stupid hot deals with gold costs of 180k gold, I would never spend around £100 on buying gold for things like seaweed, is it just me or have there been some really crazy hot deals today.


regards.

    Yup.  I've got one right now for purple stuff and things from the treats/pranks kids for 85K gold which would cost me 60 USD (90CAD).  Not happening.
  • hmm funny you should say that I have the same one but mine has a gold cost of 180k

    What level is your farm?  Mine's 157.  Just wondering if they're tailored for certain level players.

    Now, Amanda, my co-op leader, suggested it might be gold purchasing history that is making a difference?  I have bought gold in the past but not for several months.

    I have @DuffyPoo222 (INT1)  offer Would cost £49.99 for 112K in gold or would have to do 2 smaller deals to get offer Don't buy gold anymore anyway I think it could be very easy to spend £100s on HW , CC and the rest in a very short time and GGS cater for this. HW + CC are beginning to feel like gambling Pay your money ,  take your chance

    Welcome back Andy, you must have missed the ones for decos costing over 300K gold, I guess these are cheap in comparison lol ... But yeah I wouldn`t buy these ones either.

    Why are we being offered hot deals for the viking island, when it is currently the candy island we are working with??
  • took a while but I finally figured out who's in charge of setting the hot deals.

    What's up with the Hot Deals being so expensive now?  Buy 180,000 gold to get the deals - that's $150.  I like the smaller Hot Deal packages because I can buy one to get seaweed, buy another to get the 2 for 1, buy another to get tokens, etc.  All I've seen for the last few days are the 180k gold deals.  Will the smaller deals be coming back?
  • Think about it for a second.  I get a lot more money or get less money?  They may come back Gamester, but it probably won't be often or a great deal lower.  So it's time to wave a sad and fond farewell to the good Hot Deals and hello to the new deal.

    I know everything revolves around the gold, but I think they're going to find the number of people who utilized the smaller hot deals will far outnumber those who will spend $150 for the items they've put together.  It's much easier for me to justify spending $25 or $50, and know if another attractive deal comes along I can still get it.  Don't think this was a smart decision for them.  At least they could give a list of items and let you choose your favorite 6.  But I'm just one very minor little cog in their wheelhouse.....

    I agree the smaller packages of deals may be better for some, but just like any business the more they can get the better ;)
  • Gamester (US1)Gamester (US1) US1 Posts: 100
    I've been spending more than $150 a month on gold using the smaller hot deal packages and now will cut way down on what I spend with them so they've essentially lost monthly revenue from me.  That's quite a large jump from your largest hot deal package being 80,000 gold to having every package for 180,000 gold.  Will wait and see if they bring back some of the smaller packages, but very unhappy with this change.
  • I 100% agree Gamester.........  These new hot deals are absolutely ridiculous. I am so disappointed with the depth of insensitivity towards the paying customers shown by the recent changes, esp the hot deals.... :(   not to mention the complete disregard for giving equal opportunity to everyone.... I haven't had a prime offer in over 6 months, while others in my coop get them once or twice a week, no matter how many times they buy..... so discouraging.... :(  *slumped shoulders*

    Yes and I think like everyone else seems to agree so far.... It is RIDICULOUS!!! :((((((  and if they thought about it..... people like me (which i'm assuming is a lot more than GGS thinks)  would buy gold more often if their deals were reasonable.............. very disappointed :(

    My current hot-deal is 442 mystery boxes for 85K gold.  That's $90 CAD folks.  Who, in their right mind, would spend that kind of money on mystery boxes full of premium feed/fertilizer and other junk, with an occasional 300 gold or GML.

    Me and my coop members got this one too.
    Its a stupid deal for offering mystery boxes, considering we get only premium stuff from them
  • the recent hot deals & prime spending r bull dung. who wants to spend $200.00 for gold ? not me!!  prime spending is the same u get nothing useful for spending gold ,unless u spend a lot of gold.
  • contrary (US1)contrary (US1) US1 Posts: 122
    This is what I see when I go to the gold buying page. Is this the same for everyone?? or are there differences??
    US Dollars rounded up i.e. 4.99 to 5.00 etc..Some say it's based on level but that makes no sense to me..Just wondering if it's the same across all servers or not..
    $5.........4700 GOLD
    10........11k
    20........23k
    30........36k
    50........61k
    100.....130k
    200.....272k
    400.....560k
    800.....1,150,000
  • It seems with the new server underway...GGS has also started to over price their Hot Deals....now to buy any Hot Deal....
    I need to spend 5000 INR....  earlier 1500 INR was enough for a HOT DEAL. ...they are slowly but surely vanishing all other gold offers and prime time bonuses to name a few like the 100% prime time, GML and more recently the 2 for 1 offer...its been almost a month that I got 2 for 1 offer. Its really getting expensive to play BIG FARM......now i will think twice to buy gold with such lousy offers.... GGS please bring back the earlier offers or start better offers !!!!

    @contrary (US1) As far as I know the only differences are that each person's shop is in their own currency & to start with your shop will show offers for lower amounts, which gradually get higher as you buy more gold, but you can still have the really small offers showing in your shop if the want them.

    As far as game level goes, lower level players get offered much more attractive deals. When I had a noobie farm for the friendship thing, I was amazed at some of the offers it got, I would love to see some of them on my main farm lol  But the exchange rate from farm dollars to your local currency is the same for everyone, at least I have never heard that it isn`t.
  • contrary (US1)contrary (US1) US1 Posts: 122
    Thanx Scissors..I assumed that each different currency would equate out equally but wanted to confirm my suspicions..LOL..but as others have said & I AGREE..with the new gold minimums, my gold buying days are over until they bring back the 150-200% gold bonus PLUS a Hot Deal I actually want. I think I may have a very looooong wait ahead of me..It just keeps getting better & better>>>>>gag..spit..puke..LOL..YEE HAW Ya'll.

    GGS needs to do some buyers analytics in IN1 server and then decide to give offers and deals. 5000/- deal will not work here!

    It seems now that the game isn't for the average player anymore.

    I've spent A LOT of money on gold since I started playing.  Now You have to have couple hundred dollars to buy gold in order to get a deal???

    This is NOT fair to everyone.  Offering gold deals only to people with big bank accounts who can already afford to buy large amounts.

    Are you trying to discourage the rest of us from playing???  You are making an uneven and unfair playing field???

    Also, I have not gotten an answer of my technical support of the accidental purchase of a Flag.  I do not want it.  I never intended to buy it. I was clicking on my fields when it popped up.  I would like to remove the German Flag and get my gold back please.  

  • I agree with all the concerns expressed above;  now to get any of the prime time deals I have to spend over $100 real dollars.  But I don't think it is related to how much gold I buy, since on a farm on a different server I buy very little gold, in fact not any gold for quite a long time, and I'm much lower level than US1, and it also is saying I have to buy 180,000 gold to get the deals. 
  • Hi, as there has been no comment by the team on the bonus deals can you please tell me why  we are only being offered really stupid deals for 180,000 gold, I would NEVER purchase one of these as they would cost me approx. £100 these deals are crazy, I used to buy the seaweed bonus deal in conjunction with a gold bonus offer but I never see this anymore, If you are hoping I will spend this insane amount of RL money on one deal you need to understand how things work in the real world,


    please can this be looked into and have these insane deals stopped and return to the deals we used to get which a lot of players used to purchase.




    regards,

    Andy h
  • Worse, when you buy less than 180000 gold you do not get anything extra. It would have been niche if you buy 50.00 gold you would receive a third (or something) from the extras... This doesn't encourage me to buy gold and spend real money

    I got offered 200% for 30 minutes  Prime spending is also there  so  I can spend whatever I bought for  a bridge decor Passing on both  My purse closed and padlocked to GGS until something new and interesting appears on farm

    seems your purse and my wallet are the same  :). I think all will change once the job cuts are sorted out I might be being a bit cynical here but I believe this is to show a steep loss of earnings on GGS's books, but I might be wrong I usually am lol

    Have Hot deal buy 85K gold Get 180 tokens Deal is valued at 130%  Didn't it used to be buy 85K gold get 250 tokens Some teammates asked to buy 180K gold but don't get double tokens, their deal 120% which seems wrong way round 
  • Gamester (US1)Gamester (US1) US1 Posts: 100
    Since championship began am now getting some buy 50K and get various special deals rather than the 180K I've been getting for weeks.  Maybe someone was listening to us or they noticed gold sales went way down.
