The description has been adjusted on the latest test server, no mention of "Amortizes within 600 days (at base level)" or "Must be placed on top of a copper deposit", it does still need to be placed on a mine though (I tested it).

After thinking about it and reading else where if it is like paying off a mortgage then that means we own the building out right after 600 days. Which suggests that’s when we actually start making a profit. This still leaves me confused as to how they worked out when we make a profit since if copper ore prices fall to 1gc in 6 months then that will push back the time it takes to make a profit.
I would then also complain about using the word Amortizes, what the heck? Wouldn’t be so bad if its definition wasn't ambiguous. 'Reduced to death' doesn't sound good no matter what you’re buying. Well, maybe if printed on a weed killer bottle...

I have spent a fortune on starter packs and gems, but the price of these 2 items is plain disgusting, I am really annoyed as was planning to buy these items, maybe £20 would be a reasonable price but 20,000 gems is ridiculous.
Someone at BB really needs to take a look at the pricing structure. BB would make a lot more money if these items were reasonably priced, as I cant see many peopling buying these items at this price.
well i was thinking of buying some of those copper mines..... but at this price; which is roughly 20x the recycling plant..... hmmm guess not...
Some smart guy probably tought that the payers would pay it.... well guess again...
Wonder how much they sold already?
If 5 players buy it at £75 this equates to £375
If 20 players buy it at £20 this equates to £400 but we know a lot more players would buy this if it were cheaper, this would mean more revenue for BB.
Come on BB do the right thing, 20,000 gems is plain ridiculous, yes we know your game is free and we are thankful for that, but some of us spend a lot of money on gems, starter packs etc, and currently 20,000 gems is taking the urine.
Really gutted about this price as I was looking forward to purchasing these items.
I'll just repeat myself:Originally Posted by Tierarzt
The suggestion is that, for people who do spend money on gems, the price of the Endless Copper Mine is hugely unbalanced relative to the cost of other infinite supply items.
Fish.
What does "Contains 40.000 Gems" means? I'm talking about the endless gem mine description.
And I'll repeat myself. You don't need to buy one.
If you NEEDED the item to play the game properly, then I'd agree. But you don't need it. it's a premium feature with a premium price tag.
If at first you don't succeed, sky-diving is not for you.
The discussion here is about the copper mine. Nowhere does it say the Gem Pit is an endless supply.
If at first you don't succeed, sky-diving is not for you.
At no point anywhere does the gem pit suggest it is endless. It is a pit of gems and clearly displayed it contains 40,000 of them.
If you raise the point in reference to Azariel's quote then he is still referring to mines and i guess talking about our ability to have 3 of them. The gem pit is not called a mine. It is a pit so he is not talking about the gem pit. At least that’s the way I see it.
Edit: Tierarzt beat me to it i see
Its not about need it’s about want. Many want to buy it and would do so if BB stop charging insane prices. Charge a premium, sure. But £75 for 1 building? Its not even about if it’s worth it or not. The problem is £75 is a lot of money to most people, especially to spend on a web browser game all at once. There called MICROtransactions Not insanely expensive transactions! They need to think small and often, not large and very few. People complain enough as it is about free to play vs gem buying. It’s not so bad when a 10 year old can save up some money and spend £10 every couple of weeks. People who work also don’t mind spending a little to make up for them being at work and not able to play as much as they want to. But very few of the games main player base is going fork out £75 for 1 building. Its limiting who can and cant procure an advantage in game even more. And like had already been said, compared to endless devices already in the game there is no good reason to make this one 20x more expensive.
