    Endless copper mine price

    20,000 gems for an endless copper mine?!

    That's £75 of real money. £75!

    Insane.

    Seriously... someone with some perspective at BB take a step back and look at about £75 or 100 Euros of REAL money as a value for a copper mine, no matter that it's 'endless'.

    I wouldn't pay £75 for a game, never mind a small element of a game.

    You are off your heads.

    Great game mind.

    I can't help but agree, this is so far beyond the borderline of insanity that I'm considering investing in shares of strait jacket manufacturers.

    All of the trader items added over the last couple of months have been grossly overpriced relative to both the real and the original items on offer. I'd go as far to say that everything is priced about 5x what it should be to encourage consistent and fair micro transactions.

    ...and then there's the interesting use of the word 'endless'. If it were truly endless, then it wouldn't amortise after 600 days at level 1 (or 120 days at level 5?). A recycling plant is endless and a watermill is endless and neither are subject to amortisation. They're also significantly cheaper.

    should be the same price as a recycling plant, copper ore and coal have settled at similar trading prices so they both have about the same value to players.

    Excellent point.

    'Endless' coal plant is 990 gems, yet 'endless' copper is 20,000?! It simply makes no sense at all. These are similarly valued resources for players, but BB is altering their value by a factor of more than 20. Copper is NOT more than 20 times as valuable as coal.

    Someone at BB has gone completely gem-crazy. I like this game, I've even spent money on it, but this is ludicrous. The gem pit looks an OK investment for someone planning to play for a very long time (a year to get double the gems), it's basically a £75 subscription for a year, but the copper mine price is crazy. I do hope this isn't a sign of things to come, because BB won't see another penny off me if it is. I'll keep playing, but there's no way I'm spending that kind of money for so little return in the game.

    Who is responsible for deciding on these prices? It would be nice to know if its someone at Bluebyte or Ubisoft, or maybe even the name of the actually person deciding it.

    That's not the argument and is frankly a tired non-sequitur that people seem to enjoy throwing into discussion where they have no valid point.

    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.
