    Yep, both the above plus having 'special' generals bought with real money just delete themselves from the game, really wish I'd saved my money now.

    There seems to be a work-around to this though. Your island doesn't need to be visited by you, but by anyone, so if you can find a friend that will come by once a day and put a fish platter on something you should stay active.
    Not optimal, but it lets you continue...

    It does not say anything about you having to log in daily.

    If this was something you bought in DK from a Danish company you would get your money back - this is false marketing,- you can risk getting nothing at all out of it.
    I did buy 2- but I am not going to get any more. You never know what can happen.

    Not at all, "produces up to 20000 gems over the course of 6 months", could be 0, and that sentence remains true.

    It also says contains 40.000 gems - that means if it produces 20.000- you should be lucky enough to get 60.000. It says nowhere you can end up getting 0 gems out of it.

    I would believe you more if you said gem pits will be the weekly log in reward for the over 50's.
    When it comes to Gene pools and shallow ends they can be found at the bar drinking pina colada's

    It really does not matte what you believe. That is what the text says. It says it contains 40.000 gems and that it generates up to 20.000. when you add 40.000 and 20.000 you get 60.000. If this is not right - why do they write that? It is misinformation and false marketing.

    No where does it say that you have to log in every day- or that you, if you have placed the gem pit and does not log in- you get nothing.

    I've never had one, but just interpreting the sentence "contains 40,000 and produces up to 20,000 over six months" what I read in that is:
    1) I doesn't necessarily produce 20k in 6 months - the words "up to" imply that it can produce less under some circumstance
    2) It tells me it can produce up to 20k in 6 months, 40k in 12 months because there is 40k in it but maximum rate is 20k per 6 months

    So total should be 40k in a year, if whatever condition that satisfies the "up to" is fulfilled. While not well explained, I don't see anything misleading about it.
    Sorry, but I've slept since then...
