People keep complaining about how expensive city cash is. Frankly, they're right. Still, plenty of people are buying the cases at $5 a pop, so Team Lava must be doing well with it.
That said, the only way we will reach them is by convincing them that by lowering the prices of city cash they will make MORE money. Let's say you could open a case for $1. What if way more people would open the cases way more often? If out 50 out of 1000 players are currently buying ten cases a month, that is $2500 per 1000 players. BUT if 500 players (assuming many more people would buy at the lower price) each bought ten cases per month, that would be $5000.
Granted, I made those numbers up, and I have no way of knowing how many players currently buy city cash and at what rates. I'm just saying it makes sense to reason that many more of us would buy the cash and open the cases at lower prices, and they just might make more money as a result....
I for one have never opened a case. I might like an ice cream shop, a colonial house, but not much else. Still, the thought of paying $5 in real money for an adobe house (I hate them in real life and in this game, ha) trying to get an ice cream shop is silly. Maybe there are a handful of ass-rich people on here (I've seen many cities while cleaning that have dozens of case items, which just dumbfounds me), but I'm a fairly wealthy dude, and I'm not buying any cases because they are horrible values. There must be many more out there like me. That said, if they were $1 a pop, I might be willing to drop $10 to try to get a couple of the items I like, and I'd just delete the adobe house or merry-go-round or anything else I got.
Anyone out there feel me?
Cheers,
