    Well thnx for this Gold doubler .........
    Instead of fixing the problems GG has found again something to gain more profit for their stockholders...
    I thought we were getting some major bugs solved like the edgeplants problem!

    Sorry for not cheering hip hip hoora!

    I know right! Two hours of time reduction booster also gone because of this just for something that already exists......we already have gold offers! I'd like to see how many players buy gold after being disrespected and lied to all year.

    @FastSylvia (NL1) We realise how long everyone has been waiting, especially for 2 or 3 particular issues to be dealt with, but things are moving along now, hopefully the Boosters all run smoothly with this update & the edge plants are now being worked on. :)

  • Hey, guys, when did this maintenance begin?
  • ninjahuman (AU1)ninjahuman (AU1) AU1 Posts: 2,526
    After the update, I was given 25,660 hours of twice the experience points booster as compensation, but it doesn't sound quite right, I only lost about 5,000 hours from the previous issue with the booster's duration.
  • Has anyone else not received their compensation like me??  Didn't get the bonus reputation points that equates to 15 days of being able to upgrade/build on my small farm    :'(:'(

    This double gold booster would have been well received if it also came with a gold lock within the game.  I won't be buying gold without a gold lock and all the problems fixed within the game, I guess that means GGS will have to wait longer for a lot of wallets to open now.

    @ninjahuman (AU1)  You can just ignore that.

    @Kittykat1223 (AU1) Sorry, but you have completely lost me there, what compensation? Can you give more details please.

    @SuzyQ22 (US1) It's coming :)

    My very first comment here. 
    Liked very much that the double XP booster has been fixed. Got back a lot more :smile:

  • artful (US1)artful (US1) US1 Posts: 6,617
    Okay, so this gold doubler will be given as rewards, so presumably it will be replacing other rewards. Can't be used unless you buy gold. Genius.
  • sue1 (AU1)sue1 (AU1) AU1 Posts: 193
    Great.  I shall take up the challenge and accumulate as many of these double bubble things as I can and never use any of them   :)  Such great rewards I can't believe our luck !!
  • Thank you for the gold doubler to encourage us to spend our money on gold. Sincerely, it is very nice of you to give us a prize if we spend real money. You are too kind, but again I feel you have missed the mark. Please fix the things that are wrong with the game (especially the edge plants!), listen to your players, only give us the CC twice a month and stop acting as if all you care about is our real life cash. If you act like you care about the quality of the game and make it fun, we will spend the money you want us to spend. You are on a down-ward spiral. The more you become closed fisted and make it harder to win good prizes, the less gold your players spend. You have not learned the number one tenant of a successful company - customer service! If you want our money, treat us nice! Make the game fun again!!! Your players should not have a love/hate relationship with the game - love the game/ hate the company and its poor decisions. Hire a specialist if you must to tell you that you must treat the players right to get their real money. I bought a card to pay for gold over a month ago, but you have not inspired me to spend it on gold. Luckily, it is a Walmart card, so I can shop, too. Your bonus is cool, a nice thought, but it is very far from the mark. 
  • Thank you for sorting our the double xp - I got back almost double what I lost, which was nice too.  I dont quite understand the gold doubler, but hey anything that gives out twice as much for my money is also good news (despite only buying a small amount of gold, every little helps).  All I think we are waiting for is the edge plant issue to be fixed and hopefully everyone will once again be happy - but for now the resolution to some of the problems has been great and very much appreciated.

    Well, since I am unable to buy gold, now I can doubly not be able to buy gold. Somehow the new news of this double down coin thing looks like a new way to make more money for the powers above while the poor players are yet again forgotten. Great for the players that have deep pockets, this just gives them twice as much to play with. happy for them, in the meantime, I will have to work twice as hard to keep up in my co-op. Already spend more time than I should. Lucky for me I live alone and there is no one to tell me I cannot play for hours and hours. But after I have played for hours to achieve a certain number in the game, Here comes Mr. or Ms. Gold Buyer, and within 30 minutes bypasses my 12 hours worth of hard work. Then they leave, while I spend another several hours to reach what took them 30 minutes to achieve. Anyone can buy their way to the top, all it takes is deep pockets and now you have given them even deeper pockets. A true player works and earns their way to the top, they have no advantage so they have to actually take the time and actually play the game.

    I have echoed your sentiments so many times. Other players have, too, but to no avail.

    1-Give us a reliable game that is fun to playl
    2-Fix all bugs, large or small, immediately.
    3-Keep it fun and fair.
    4-Restore the rewards to things of value.
    5-Listen to your players and act accordingly.
    6-Retrain Customer Service to be prompt, courteous, and effective.

    Do all this, and your customers will buy gold. No more squeezing the life out of what is left of the game to try to grab more gold from the dwindling few still shelling it out.

    @IceeMimi (US1)  as much as it can seem unfair, paying players are the ones who fund the game. even if developers and IT guys and whoever would work for free(although, sometimes it looks like it by the quality of some updates and rebalancing...), servers and electricity is not free, and there must be a ton of other expenses they have to pay. the game itself is free to play. so there must be another way to make money. which is to give an advantage to customers that are willing to pay.
    i doubt there are any online strategy games with different concept(that you would pay in advance and had no chance to improve your score by shedding a feather). this concept (that we have) is actualy very good one. there will always be a gap between goldbuyers and the rest of the players. that's it. but goldbuyers can in a way push developers to bring better and more interresting content(not that it really works here over the last year, but we still hope :lol: ). if the game heads in a wrong direction, sales go into red numbers, and company(managers) know, that they need to start to do something to revese it. it is actualy the purest and most honest way they can get from players. if i don't like what is happening, i stop buyng gold and i will hold my purse sealed until they do something about it. and they can send me offers 1+1, or even 1+1,2 all day long. they can top it even up with offer "2x", which brings nothing new(okay except that you can save it for later.... mEH!). nothing says "players are unhappy" better than red numbers in sales. so this concept is good. (i'm sure i wanted to elaborate it some more, but i lost a thread of thoughts when i watched from the window and two magpies were fighting over my ashtray i left in the garden)

    I would have to agree for the most part about your post @Borgia (SK1).  However, I do have to add that there are many players who are willing to pay even a small stipend to make the game better for themselves, if only the game were not filled with so many problems.  Also, the fact there is no gold lock and the constant loss of gold because GGS has some very well placed gold stealing buttons throughout the game, it makes players such as myself leery of buying anymore gold.  I won't fund a game that is by default designed to steal from me, nor will I fund a game that it obviously not important enough to GGS for quality control to be played out when designing, fixing, or otherwise changing the game.  I came here last year, less than one year ago, and promptly lost thousands of gold coins because of outright theft designed into this game.  GGS needs to get on the right side of their players, if they want us to buy gold.

    Between the 'gold doubler' and BOGOF offers I doubt that anyone buys gold at the normal cost. So why not simply half the normal cost of gold and get rid of the doubler and bogof nonsense. Thus removing some clutter from the top of the screen and reducing popups.They may even increase their revenue as gold buyers would buy as soon as their supply gets low, instead of tapping their foot impatiently while waiting for the next 2 for 1.

    All I am going to say bout this ( Gold Doubler ) is that for Me it is a waste, cause I can not afford to buy gold for this game as I am on a budget, so it won't happen, I am not in a Co-Op so I do not have to worry bout working My butt off for it and not get anything done on My own Farms so that is good for Me, I am waiting for one thing to finally show up in this game as I have not experienced many of the Bugs that others have thank goodness, The one thing I want to finally show up is the ( New Farm!!! ) so I can start working on it, I log into My game and I take My time working on them, I am grateful for all the items I have gotten for My Farms thus far, but buying gold is not going to happen for Me in this game unless I was to win the lottery, which won't happen cause I do not gamble either, :)
  • I have not bought ANY gold for months and I won't until I see improvement, yes especially the edge plant one! You would think they figured that one out by now, altho.. it only has been abt 2 months now. That might not be enough time to fix the "old" problems but "yay" it is enough to put together a whole football/soccer event! "goodieGoodieGumDrop!"
    The game has slowed down to a boiling point and makes me not even wanna play cc or anything. Refresh page every 20 minutes gets old fast! Yes I clear cache, cookies, temp files etc etc, every day. 
    I stopped buying gold after they took away the good rewards during certain events and after not listening to "us" players. we DO NOT want cc every friggin' week, week and a half. Get your *bleep* together and fix old problems before handing out dumba** things such as the gold double and listen to your players. You can offer me free 3 times the gold and I will still not buy gold again. Do what is right.. and people will start opening their wallets again. Stop trying to keep us pleased with nonsense.. cos like the gold.. I don't buy it. 
  • I figure that the gold doubler is as useful as a lobster trap prize
  • sounds abt right
  • At first, I thought it was a doubler for earned gold. 
    How silly of me lol. 

    I mean, if this kept the damn pop-ups to the bare minimum, fine. 
    I'm not interested in buying gold. . . still, GGS. 
    Thanks.

    I feel you bro ....

    I am a big gold buyer myself, but now i feel pathetic just to see i can use a little gold to beat people's hours and hours of hardwork.....

    GGS should give non-gold buyers some incentive to keep playing the game ...

    P.S : I still use gold to beat others though ... :wink:
  • TMKC (IN1)TMKC (IN1) IN1 Posts: 939
    Good thing is XP boosters are back.

    The compensation was good ... i lost 2000 hrs, got back 9500 hrs.....so it is a nice thing.

    At least it shows GGS is making progress, even if it is a little slow now.

    No bugs yet in Football event, that is a good thing .....

    x2 gold offer ... hmm  .... If it is going to be given as rewards, then i guess, people should be allowed to use it even during prime times, otherwise it wont make a big difference.

    The only good thing about x2 gold reward is i can now buy gold whenever i see a good HOT deal which i need...


    hopefully, CC n CHWE rewards will improve, i stopped playing themed events a couple of months ago , now i have stopped playing CC n chwe as well ....

    I no longer buy gold, farm is how I want it, have not expanded it with extra land that came a while back,  the main thing I used gold on, I got a BOGOF offer same time has 2x doubler was showing  does this mean I would have got  4 x gold

    Good question. A few in our coop were asking the same thing..
  • My flowers are now messed up like the edge plants. I get that while we wait for the game to load you play with things like polishing the tractor, but really??? You admit to hiding the bugs!!! You admit to stealing eggs, well I think it's more than eggs. Good luck with customer relations, oh, never mind, I forgot you don't care about the customer. If you were a normal business you'd see that customer relations is equal to profit. As one goes down so does the other. If you want GGS to make a profit,  you must fix your attitude.
