    I fail to see how you were ripped off.

    I am very happy with this game and definitely don't feel ripped off! The little bits of gold I was able to buy I've carefully spent on some land, the watertowers, the workshop and some decorations. (and some accidental blonde clicks)

    And as SirGeorge already says: nothing really has changed, they haven't suddenly downgraded your game.

    Where is a moderator when you need one?
    Did you all not read to keep it to the topic? To not make it a personal attack?

    you really wouldn't go out and buy a 360 game, then have the company take away some of the missions and charge for them again would you, it really would not have been that hard to create new things

    and jaystar you essentially told letitrein that she was wrong for wanting visual upgrades as well as production ones cos that all the game is really about (just repeating your opinion here don't go crying now!) so my opinion is that you are just wrong!

    That wasn't help. That was you speaking to me like I am an idiot and it's not really appreciated.

    The reasons you have provided in your opinion for why you don't like your house just don't seem to be very valid or sound ones. I'm just pointing out why your opinion is not a good one to hold.

    Let's look at some facts of how this game works.

    1. You are playing this game subject to the ToS of GGS.

    2. Under the ToS, GGS has the right to change features about the game as they see appropriate, which you implicitly accept by continuing to play this game.

    3. As far as I am aware, gold users and non-gold users have the same rights and privileges under the ToS. (i.e. there is no special category in the ToS for gold users, and golders are not entitled to anything more than non-golders.)

    4. You are free to spend gold as you wish.

    So, basically, what this adds up to is that the fact you used gold to buy a house does not entitle you to anything beyond the gold you paid for. You are not entitled to your house looking a particular way. If you don't like it, then you are also free to leave the game if you don't want to be subject to the ToS.

    I FEEL ripped off, George. Maybe they haven't ripped me off. But I FEEL like I have. Sorry for having feelings.

    No need for arguments guys! Different people clearly play the game for different reasons. Some people's main aim is to make thir farm pretty, others want it to be productive and don't care so much about the look.

    I do think GGS could have been more considerate towards players who find looks more important. Like I said, would it have been that hard to add a couple of small new features to the buildings so they don't look downgraded? It doesn't mean having to add another level to the chicken coop (which apparently they can't do), just add a new colour or a new shape or something. Surely that would have been possible?

    To me personally it's not that important because I'm more concerned about how productive my farm is, but it clearly bothers others and it is discouraging to them. Maybe GGS should have considered this a bit more before going ahead with the update? maybe in future if they are planning this kind of change they could consult the community?

    Aimei, I am sorry you feel ripped off. I am not trying to make you feel worse, only better by pointing out the facts.

    The looks did change but not the production. Sure, it may take some time without buying more gold, but you now have the option of upgrading them more to increase production AND get the looks you desire back. Not a perfect solution but it's only a game. Cheers.

    [QUOTE=Aimei;932490 It is my OPINION that it is very worrying that so many people are okay with this.[/QUOTE]

    To me you are the one that is attacking others for having a different opinion.

    Other than Jay's comment about who are you, she has not been attacking people.


    It is just a game and looks don't really matter that much.

    I was only trying to make a point that GGS should have given more consideration to the players of this game and the different ways gold is used before making the changes.

    Some people havent been affected, or not very much, obviously. Other people have. Maybe they could fix this. THAT IS ALL I WAS TRYING TO SAY.

    I was only trying to make a point, but I am sorry for coming anywhere near this forum, because clearly Jaystar, I'm not allowed to express an opinion or any feelings that are different to yours. There was no need to make this personal. I was only trying to reassure the first person who commented that other people have been affected in a very negative way and I was hoping that GGS would see this and see how upset SOME OF their players are by this.


    The opinion I expressed was never intended to upset you or offend you as a person. it was directed at GGS. Now please, kindly, leave me alone.

    If they changed the graphics of a certain building(s) to something entirely different, I'm sure there would be less complaints. But just because it now looks the same as the older levels previously looked, it's a huge problem. Just look at it as new, changed, or different, instead of downgraded..
    Besides, in the end you upgrade your stuff to get a better functionality, not better looks. Although I guess that depends on the person. I'm surprised to see how many people care about the looks. I have no problem with stacking my entire farm with neat rows of icecream trucks if that happens to give the best happiness value, no matter how ugly they are.

    Part of the challenge of the game is to take something mundane and arrange it beautifully.

    If people really care that much about looks, go to a store and buy a pretty picture, it will last longer. (My rudeness for the day).

    And the point that others have been making is that EVERYONE has been affected. Okay, some people think that they have been affected more than others, but this is not the case. That you feel ripped off does not mean that you were in fact ripped off. That others did not feel ripped off did not mean that they somehow are in a better position than you.

    EVERYONE now has to work for their farm to look the way that it used to. Some might use gold, some might not. But it is up to you how you play the game, so to complain about your farm looking ugly simply because you feel a particular way isn't a good way to provide reasons for your position. You can only hold an opinion for so long as you can defend it. I just was pointing out that it's not defensible to hold the view that the farms are ugly and the game is now somehow worse as a result of it.

    You made this personal when you called me out by name.

    1. You said yourself you've not been AS affected cause you didnt buy upgrades/ speed ups with gold. And you care less about looks.
    2.Everyone is entitled to an opinion, regardless of what you think.
    3. You made it personal when you asked me who I am, outside of an internet forum. I only asked you to not be as snippy/patronising with the first person who commented.
    4. What is wrong with you? I've apologised for coming anywhere near this forum and even commenting and I've asked you to leave me alone, so why don't you?

    Please bring on exact quotes where Jay said that, and not where you assumed that's what she said.

    You were the one making it personal by going against Jay, by using these words:

    I would just like to add to this discussion this snippet from the Terms of Use:
    The online and mobile games as well as the additional range of services are continuously being developed, updated and adjusted further by Goodgame Studios. Thus, users are merely participating in the respective online and mobile games or additional offers in their respective version provided at any given time.

    Emphasis mine.

    We weren't overjoyed that our farms now look shabbier than before, but the functionality stayed and the graphics have been improved even in some cases. Yes, we paid in gold, dollars, or a combination of both to get our farms to where they were, but that was what was offered at the time. And while it was being offered, we got exactly what we paid for. Now GGS is offering something completely new, and we haven't earned nor paid for those yet. The pigsty level 7 may be what our pigsty level 5 used to look like, but they're not the same product we purchased and so it does not follow that we whine about a level 7 pigsty which we have not worked for yet.

    Yes, our graphics changed to lower levels. SO WHAT? I look at as GGS giving us the opportunity to gain more products & earn more money. If you don't like the game DON'T PLAY!

    @Aimei if you don't want people bothering you then simply post your opinion & go on about your farming. Don't name other players to start trouble. How about YOU leave jaystarr alone!

    @bam bam You sound like a child. Grow up & respect others!
