    Angry Stupid Pricing Structures.

    Speaking as one who has spent a few pounds each month on this game, and is "prepared" to spend more, if the value is there.. I see the endless copper and the endless gems purchase price being the stop mark .. I shall not be spending any more after this month, if the value of these "add-ons" does not come into line with other "endless" purchases, such as the recycle plant, and the endless water mill.

    Nope. Gem it's not endless... It caontains 40.000 gems to mine ;-) It's writen it's pays back in 6 months, so it means that you get 40.000 gems after the year. That's insane... LoL...

    I thought as well that copper will cost maximum 2000 if recycling plant costs 990...

    Have to agree, this is all getting a bit out of my league of what I'm willing to spend on a game. I will consider the gem pit, £75 for 40k gems is not bad and I think I can get a year out of this game.

    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. The fact this seems to be following a theme of recent high-priced items is only going to serve to put people off the game rather than encourage sales.
    The point is, You don't need to buy one. They are a premium feature at a premium price

    Talking about how insane the copper mine price is will only get us so far. What we simply need to do is just not buy it. It’s the only real say we will ever get in this game. Money talks as the old saying goes and if BB doesn’t get our money they will hopefully be forced to rethink the pricing structure.

    The fact it only lasts for 600 days only makes things worse.

    A little less compensation, a little more action please

    Indeed.

    However, not saying anything about it achieves nothing. Voicing an opinion here is one way to gauge the feeling of other players and to communicate the fact that one is not happy with the situation. (There are other ways too.) Naturally enough I will not be buying an 'endless' copper mine at the current insane price, and by discussing it here I, and others, make it clear that BB will not be receiving money from us that they might otherwise have received.

    It's a forum, it's for discussing things.

    Hi guys,

    I feel I must intervene here...

    When we say endless, we mean endless. The mines do not deplete after a certain amount or number of days. They will carry on indefinitely.
    I really don't know where you guys got this idea that the mines would stop working after a certain amount of days x)

    Best,
    BB_Azariel

    I agree that endless copper mine is way overpriced !!! but as this resource constantly runs out because there are only a few deposits across the island they got u over a barrel.... also the fact u need so much to replace recruits ( bronzeswords) i can understand it being more pricey than say a coal plant because once u have 200 odd soldiers steel can be put on hold ,and so wont use as much ..but more around the price of a veteran general would be more like it ... this can also be said for watermills and silos way overpriced compared to the vet who will make u money (adventuring)
