This is common and designed that way. Move along.

I don't think this has been adequately addressed by TL at all. Just because it's intentional doesn't mean it's nothing to be bothered by.

Their not going to address it any further then they already have. The answer they did give was final. It's an executive Decesion. An External function designed to be. It works. Just like real life one day I walk into a store get 10% off, next day 50 or nothing the next day. Stories work same way. Not a concern.

Your analogy is flawed. No one is complaining that gems are not the same price daily. They are displeased because worse prices are available to better customers, and while you may be satisfied with the status quo, others (including me) are not and we have every right to be heard on this issue. It's not your place to silence dissent.

I think it is random. I do buy gems and I have been getting the 10%off or no discount when alot of my nbrs have gotten the 40% off.
Finally today I got the 40% off Fashion, Zoo and club.
Nothing on the other games.

Team Lava may be testing sending out random discounts to see if people buy more when gems price are lower...

No it's not. As in real life this is the way that it is period. Most are great at complaining and not accepting what is. I'm trying to raise you all to adults in life. Now get on with it. Lol. There are very few who over the last 2 years have spent more real money on these games then I have. Over 6 grand and counting. if I don't like something I don't play it or eat it or buy it etc etc etc. Be happy LT has created something for you to do!!

That's not an analogy, that just blustering. Do you even know what a false analogy is?

I guarantee I'm older than you are, kiddo, and while you might have outspent me it doesn't mean you know one whit more about business practices than I do, and I daresay as a moderate consumer of gems I'm far more representative of their user base than you are.

And hey, did I mention that I'm an app designer who has worked on some pretty major apps? So I kind of know what I'm talking about.

My point? You can keep saying "period" but it's not going to get me to change my stance or prevent me from expressing my feelings to TL, so I don't really know what else you plan to achieve here.

Here! Here! I'm with you all the way on every issue, it's not fair that certain players get better discounts and that's not the way it is in real life. If I go into a store and there is a 20% off sale and you come right behind me it's still a 20% off sale. The sale doesn't change depending on the customer. And we all have the right to voice our concerns, that's what this forum is for isn't it. If we all just kept silent because "it is what it is" then we wouldn't need a Team Lava forum would we? I think that TL is interested in what we have to say, we are the ones after all that download their apps and buy their gems, and they started this forum, not us, because they obviously want to hear what we think.

In the game today you have listed 105 gems at 11.99 - 40%= 6.99. Yet I bought 105 gems at 6.99 two weeks ago when there was no amazing discount sale? Is someone in teamlava taking the piss or what, loved this game up until today, now seriously contemplating deleting it from both phone and iPad.
