Mystery box

I spent 250 gold to buy the mystery box and all I got was 35 water!!!! Really!! That's the best you could do ? As hard to come by as gold is this is a rip off. I feel like I've been robbed. That's not right at all. I 'm really not impressed! For 250 gold, I expect something of equal value at least but what value is 35 water? This is something that you really should fix, so your farmers are not being ripped off. Signing off as a unhappy farmer. Bad Benny. I will never buy off him again ever

    I tried the mystery box last week for the first (and possibly only time) and got 1 token for the Wheel of Fortune... wasn't too thrilled but hey, only two more tokens to collect and I can spin for the jackpot, so hoping it might be a lucky token and make it worth the gold.

    It is like gambling, you take your chances that you get something that's not worth it, since every single thing you can possibly get isn't worth more than the gold you pay for it.

    But come to think of it, making everything worth at least 250 gold might make a lot of sense, if GG wants to continue to sell them more than one or two to a customer. Some of us won't ever buy one, as we've read all the disgruntled posts about crud enclosures and how it's seen as not worth the gold. We all love surprises, how tough would it be to make sure the value was at least what one would spend 250 gold on? Then a lot more people would be inclined to do it, every time they saw Benny Buddler. Happy gamers, happy customers, more gold buying, doesn't that sound like a great idea?

    If u calculate the amount of gold to buy 35 water it is 350 gold
    so you were not ripped off but were profited instead

    Considering that the nursery will sell you 33 water for 170 gold, 35 water for 250 gold does suck. I never get anything from Benny because the few times I did, all I got was useless crap, like 5XP or chicken feed.

    You were lucky I only got 25 water :)

    I do like the mystery box, it is a fun way to get prizes and the only guilty pleasure I have, all other gold buying experiences are for the farm to make things mo better.

    I'm pretty sure the time I checked it I needed 33 water and it wanted 170 gold. It's not upgraded. I might be wrong but I can check again.

    A lot of things are getting stingy around here. Too many quick fixes that don't seem well planned out.

    Hope they're not busy working on Obama care fixes. ;(

    As a curious person, I was looking for information on the mystery box and found this thread a while back. I just decided to bite the bullet and purchase a mystery box because I read in another thread that sometimes a gold certificate would be in there. I am posting this to help others with the stats - if you are reading this and have purchased a mystery box, please, post here what you've gotten so we can all make an informed decision before purchasing - no buyer beware here!

    I purchased four in a row - thinking that the odds of getting something good would be increased. This is what I got
    1. 100 premium chicken feed
    2. 10,000 bucks (ugh)
    3. 100 premium chicken feed
    4. 100 premium chicken feed

    This is pretty much a lose, lose proposition for me. I spent 1,000 gold and got pretty much nothing. So, odds are not good folks!

    I am not a math whiz by any means--but if you would have spent 1000 gold to just buy the premium chicken feed--how much would you have gotten?

    I've not bought a mystery box for ages since I pretty much loathe them, but when I did I got something like 5XP, then 3XP. Ugh.

    I bought one yesterday and got 3 super humus in it. Not something I would have bought for myself, really, but since it has a value of 1050 gold I have no cause for complaint.

    monica, according to what it costs me for the items she won, the breakdown would look something like this:

    1. 100 premium chicken feed :530 gold (based on 53/per 10)
    2. 10,000 bucks (ugh) :125 gold (based on a few gold:cash ratios for land expansions)
    3. 100 premium chicken feed :530 gold (based on 53/per 10)
    4. 100 premium chicken feed :530 gold (based on 53/per 10)

    Total Gold Spent:1000 Total List Price of Items Won:1715 Rate of Return:71.5%

    Has anybody actually gotten a gold mining license from a mystery box?

    I haven't gotten a gold license but I did get 6 regular licenses in one box and 300 gold in another box once. I buy the boxes every once in awhile. You are taking a chance when you spend gold on them, that is just the way it is. You don't have to buy them.

    Who would pay 1050 gold for 3 super humus though? Just because GGS sets a price at X amount doesn't mean something is worth that. I love how GGS has added what Prime Day packages are "worth". It's smoke and mirrors. It's voodoo.

    I got a prime box that had 25 mystery boxes included (along with other items) and one of the mystery boxes had 20 gold licenses in it.

    Wow! 20 gold licenses in 1 mystery box? Maybe they should rename it the Lottery box! ^^
