Where are you getting this information that we will be able to convert balloons to coins, for the life of me i don't recall seeing any mention of that.

I will continue to make balloons until we either make it to 200% or the event is over. I am making approximately 170k balloons per day and have donated a little over 1.4 million to date (I can't say for sure just how much we are donating as a guild but we estimate between 750k and 1m daily). I can't say that every member of The Immortals is involved in the event but a heck of a lot of us are. Some are focussing on balloon conversion, some making buffs and some building and rebuilding wells... and this event has brought us closer together as a guild (guild chat has never been busier since I joined). Sure it stinks that the 300% gem bonus was rolled out to some servers before it got to others and there is no doubt that this gives an advantage to those who received it first. Am I disappointed that this occurred? Yes! Am I going to let it affect me to the point that I give up on the event? Definitely not!
Happy settling,

My guess would be that someone is presuming balloons will be the same as pumpkins, presents, footballs and so on, with a conversion button created in the PH. I think they may be very wrong in presuming this!Originally Posted by Dorotheus
I for one will be astonished if balloons are EVER worth coins.
they have it available on the testserver 25 balloons gets you 1 gold coin on there
Be aware that there is a post from BB_Pandur on the German forums that it might not be available on the live servers. Or if it does make it, the conversion rate might be less profitable.

from the german post
Currently, a decision as to whether that comes into play or not, or in what form, is not decided.
Greeting Pandur
Brilliant! That's the spirit that we need to get through this event!
Got to say that I am gobsmacked they would even CONSIDER doing this.
This has got to be the stupidest idea EVER, to give people the option to keep hold of their balloons rather than donate them in aid of the competition.
Not forgetting that the german servers have such an advantage over everyone else, that they'll all have at least a week of being able to make balloons after reaching 200% causing a massive gold influx after the event.
Having a weeks worth of balloons which could be converted to gold coin will only affect those german servers, after all they can't transfer it to other servers. What it will do is completely change the nature of their Trade office by driving costs up. A majority of players at the end of the day will see no reward from converting balloons to gold, since their running costs will rise enough to eat through their balloon bonus.
