I've checked with other players (including my fianc?, whom I live with, so this isn't regional) who are all different levels, playing on different devices, and we all HAVE DIFFERENT PRICING FOR FOOD?!!?? Why??!

ME (level 23):

3000 food for 20 gold
15,000 food for 100 gold
37,500 food for 250 gold

MY GUY (level 21):

1500 food for 20 gold
7500 food for 100 gold
18,750 food for 250 gold

FRIEND (level 21):

10,000 food for 250 gold

Other friends I've asked on ds fall into one of those three pricing brackets regarding food purchases. Please do not say that this is random, or that you'll "roll out" an update for it on Tuesday or Thursday, or that it's the difference between android users and apple users. Teamlava, what is going on?! How can you allow your game to go live with discrepancies like this?

If two girls walk into a department store and want the same pair of shoes does the store charge them differently? Do they both go up to the registers with the shoes and pay at the SAME TIME, but pay DIFFERENT prices, as in, one pays HALF of what the other girl pays?!?? Is this discrimination? Is everyone smiling and happy about it?! No! People go postal over stuff like this. Clearly it must be a mistake AND any business that respects basic moral values would fix the problem immediately and make the purchases equal for both.

Can you PLEASE make this game equal for all?

Here's where you went wrong in your thinking - "... any business that respects basic moral values ..."

For whatever reason, TL likes to have different prices in their games and they're not going to change it even though many people have complained about it.

I am so being shafted then:
Level 19
20 gold - 500 food, 32,000 coin
100 gold - 2,500 food, 160,000 coin
250 gold - 6,250food, 400,000 coin

I don't know why you're complaining. Seems like you're getting a good deal to me? I'm level 23 on iPhone and can purchase 800 food for 20 gold.

05-29-12, 07:54 AM
geez, I'm level 13 but still find the variances annoying.

For 20 gold, I'm offered 400 food
100 gold, 2,000 food
250 gold, 5,000 food

It's completely not worth it. My gold cost on everything is so high I don't image ever using my gold because the value is so non-existent.

In slightly over a year of playing Team Lava's games, I have come to the conclusion that nimishii has it completely correct. I would also add that you should not expect any business sense from them. Try this on for size.

Last summer, I was playing Farm Story when they started rolling out a special bonus item with gem purchases. Now there was a dearth of digital cats available to us, but over the period of a couple of months, the developers rolled out three of them, the tuxedo cat, orange tabby, and Siamese. I love cats and would have gladly bought gems for the chance to have these cats on my farm, but on each occasion, these offers we're not extended to me. Now my wife, who was far more frugal about purchasing gems, received all three of the offers. I, however, received offers every other week, and took advantage of almost none of them. Sheer irony!

I was able to purchase the cats months later, but the lack of response to why Team Lava would employ such a limiting business model spoke loudly that they are going to do what they are going to do, even if it does not make sense. I am afraid it is what it is.

I've got (lvl 27):

800 food for 20 gold
4000 food for 100 gold
10,000 food for 250 gold

64.000 coins for 20 gold
320,000 coins for 100 gold
800,000 coins for 250 gold

The odd disparities are the main thing that drives me crazy about TL games and what will ultimately make me quit playing them. Why charge some people twice the price for the same item(s)? Why charge others half? Why offer gem sales to some people and never to others? It makes no sense at all. I don't buy the server strain nonsense about the sales, I think it's sheer laziness or lack of know-how on their part that prevents them from giving everybody gem sales and limited time offers.

If they want to charge everybody differently and offer some things to one group and never to the rest, they really shouldn't have made a forum where the different users could chat and discover the disparities that are going on.

I know at least food has changed for me since the weekend pricing:

1500 Food for 20 gold
7500 Food for 100 gold
18750 Food for 250 gold

64,000 coins for 20 gold
320,000 coins for 100 gold
800,000 coins for 250 gold

05-29-12, 10:00 AM
wow . . . again I appear to have drawn the short stick:

12,00 coins for 20 gold
60,000 coins for 100 gold
150,000 coins from 250 gold

well, the good news is that TL has ensured I'll have lots of spending money for vacation this summer. Sadly they've shut down a reliable revenue stream. Hopefully, they didn't invest too much in devising this revenue model.

I'm playing on iphone on level 20
1000 food for 20 gold
5000 food for 100 gold
12,500 food for 250 gold

32,000 coins for 20 gold
160,000 coins for 100 gold
400,000 coins for 250 gold.

I know I bought food one time by mistake, now I'm wondering if that influences the price.

AnnasCoffee
05-29-12, 10:18 AM
Here's what I think about the different prices. I think "they" are using you as guinea pigs. They are watching to see which of the three groups spends the most REAL money. Once they figure out which price point gets them the most profit, everyone will have those prices. That's what they did when we got new expansions in the other games.

Annasfarmville
05-29-12, 10:21 AM
If that's true, no luck with me, doesn't matter how much it cost, I don't spend real money on a game. Is just a game after all.

laVirtualCloset
05-29-12, 12:13 PM
Well, I do spend real money on the game (just like the movies, sporting events, or any other form of entertainment that provides pleasure but doesn't have a lasting existence). However, each day I become someone who use to spend money with TL. It's been nearly a month and this is phenom is just keeping my money deeper and deeper into my wallet.

@AnnasCoffee, you make a very valid point. Unfortunately for TL the result is the same. When the expansions went up from 40 gems to 80 gems in Fashion Story, I stopped expanding. My game play completely changed and gradually so did my purchases. Oh well, software companyies come and software companies go. Compared to other states, California has a sweet unemployment compensation plan, if needed in the future.

I don't know why you're complaining. Seems like you're getting a good deal to me? I'm level 23 on iPhone and can purchase 800 food for 20 gold.

I'm "complaining" because it's not right and knowing that this is happening, whether I'm getting the long end of the stick this time or not, TOTALLY devalues the gaming experience for me. I'm supposed to feel good about being a higher level, or listen to compliments about my islands, when I didn't entireley earn it?! Along the way, I clearly had unfair advantages, and I'm supposed to feel good about it because I'm "getting a good deal" this time?! Well, it doesn't make me feel good. It reminds me that I'm spending money and time on a game that isnt a game at all, it's just a huge time and money suck with no poinat AT ALL WHATSOEVER.

SERIOUSLY shortykianna, why don't u and I start a game of monopoly together? Except your going to start the game owning the whole board and I'm just going to go round and round aimlessly landing on your stuff. That's playing a game to you? That's fun for you? Really??

ShortyKianna
05-29-12, 03:31 PM
No need to go and get bent out of shape over " a game that isn't a game". Stop spending so much time and money over a game thats just a huge time and a money suck with no point whatsoever and you won't get so stressed out over it. Trust me I haven't spent a penny on this game and guess what? I don't feel bad that others have a better deal on gold or food than me. I just learn to deal with it. When is anything in life ever fair? Really? And this game is not comparable to monopoly, sorry it is not a race to the end and trying to beat others. Just take a deep breath, think "serenity now" and do a yoga pose and just enjoy the game and stop worrying about who's got what. I promise it will be much more fun and enjoyable. Enjoy! 

ShortyKianna
05-29-12, 03:42 PM
And what I meant when I said " I don't know why you're complaining since it seemed like you were getting a good deal" was you don't usually hear the players that are getting a good end of the stick complain, it's usually the "little guys". I was trying to enlighten you in some kind of way not trying to be mean. Shoot if anyone should complain it should be me. But I won't. Cause after all it is a free game, individual players may choose to spend real money or not. To each it's own. 

redsox555
05-29-12, 04:18 PM
Umm,yeah. Shortykiana, I'm not "so stressed out over it". I didn't say it was comparable to monopoly. At all. I merely mentioned that scenario because gameplay thats not equal, in whatever game, is lame, and monopoly seemed like something u could wrap your brain around. Its not a race, but all of teamlavas games cap off at cetrain levels at some point. Perhaps, u might find it enlightening to see that it's not always the "little guys" who seek fairness and equality.

I could care less if you spend money or not, but find it fascinating that you don't, and you're commenting in a cavalier way about those of us who do and are getting ripped off. Your position would be different if you werent playing a free game. Because my game isn't free (and I choose to play it that way) doesnt mean I'm ok with how tl charges different amounts to different players for in game purchases.

Maybe while doing your next downward dog and taking your deep breaths, you'll pause and be thankful for how enlightened you are about in-game purchases for a game that you play for free. Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge with all of us.

Listen it's not my fault or anyone's else's fault that you choose to spend gold on things like speeding up the hatchings, breedings, or buy food or whatnot that requires gold for you to advance the game faster and then feel bad about it cause you have advantages of some kind cause it's cheaper for you and not others. If you want to play the game so it's somewhat fair to your fiance and neighbors/friends then don't spend gold, wait all the hours needed for those hatchings and breedings and plant your own food, earn your coins by collecting and then you will feel like you have earned those accomplishments that way. Problem solved. You don't need the gold to advance in the game, it just takes longer but it is certainly not a requirement. All goals and everything else can be done without it. 

OK so I hadn't looked at my coin and food prices until yesterday. Yesterday my price where....

1000 Food for 20g
3000 food for 100g
8000 food for 250g

Today?

1500 for 20g
7500 for 100g
18750 for 250g

Then I figured why not look at my coins just for giggles...
64000 for 20g
320000 for 100g
800000 for 250g

Dose anyone else have this huge of an advantage???

I never said it was right or fair, shoot from the looks of it im getting a real bad deal. she's taking a stand for us little guys, which is nice, but why complain and still fork over the money? Don't pay. When do big companies ever listen to the public? Right now because it is a new game, they are trying to find that happy medium ( for them not us). If we all don't pay a single cent it would hurt them more and they would feel it. That is the exact reason why I do not pay for these games. We all know when games first come out, everything is off. I totally agree it's unfair, but it is yet too soon or early in the game.

Unfortunately that is the nature of the beast. Like the previous op wrote, players that pay with actual money are being used like guinea pigs. How deep one would go into their wallets for gold? And things will get fair for everyone once they realize an outrageous amount of course , which is sad. But there's nothing anyone could do about it if players still keep paying. Sad but oh so very true. C'est la vie! Reap from the benefits now before it's too late!!!

20 gold - 800 food, 64,000 coin
100 gold - 4000 food, 320,000 coin
250 gold - 10,000 food, 800,000 coin

I am starting to wonder if average dragon level and hourly dragon income effect these numbers instead of level... i.e. all my dragons are level 6, and higher and my hourly income is huge, ergo my gold exchange would be higher for coins.. im still thinking about why there would be an inverse relation ship for food

Ok now I have a question. Everyone is posting what they get (gold for food, or gold for coin). What about gold for real life money? Is that random too or does everyone pay the same for that? Because if that was randomized as well, then people would REALLY get mad.

My costs:

500 food for 20 gold
2,500 food for 100 gold
6,250 food for 250 gold

32,000 coins for 20 gold
160,000 coins for 100 gold
400,000 coins for 250 gold

120 gold for $4.99
250 gold for $9.99
530 gold for $19.99
1400 gold for $49.99
2900 gold for $99.99

I'm assuming gold for rl money is the same for everyone but I'd like to know for sure. I don't use my money to play free games but I was actually considering doing it for Dragon Story. Can you guys let me know?

Happy_fox
05-30-12, 06:48 AM
Hm, they giave me 500 food for 20 golds at level 19 and 800 foods at level 20.
So I think that The higher level u are, the more food u can buy with the same price. They did this to creat balance in this game, think of a level 10 player having 10 epic dragons while i am at level 20 having 2 epic dragons (other is arond 7 or 8)

I was thinking this same thing yesterday when I saw someone else complaining. If you're happy with not spending gold and you're enjoying your game then go play it!! Why people find the need to complain about someone else's comments regarding spending $ when they don't is silly. This isn't a thread about spending $$, it's a thread to discuss inconsistencies in the game that cost $$. I started it hoping to alert tl or to have someone from tl explain their pricing to us.

Coming over to a thread to complain about something that has nothing to do with you or that you have zero interest in is a little counter productive don't u think? Might even seem sillier than my concern regarding fair and equal deals in a game that I enjoy spending my money on.

Let's put this discussion to bed. Obviously these amounts are linked to your level. TL want people to buy gold as that's how they make their money, right. I am at level 23 and get 800000 coins for 250 gold. But I have nearly 400000 in the bank. In order for me to buy gold I would need to be offered many coins otherwise it would not be worth my while buying any gold. This will be the same for the food as well. I have 6 large farms and can produce plenty of food. I also have 30 dragons ( I think) so would I part with 250 gold for 8000 food, not on your nelly. For 40000 or 50000 food well I might well go for that cos it will help make many of my dragons to epic.
So as I said at the start it is linked to your level and has to be entising to you at that level to encourage you to buy gold.

Sorry snake. Not so obvious and you theory doesn't make sense. Purplum posted right here on the 1st page of this thread stating that he/she was a level 27 and received this pricing:



800 food for 20 gold
4000 food for 100 gold
10,000 food for 250 gold

64.000 coins for 20 gold
320,000 coins for 100 gold
800,000 coins for 250 gold

I do not think this difference is based on level.

It must also depend on your situation as you could be at level 27 with 1 farm 2 habitats and 5 dragons. Therefore the lower amounts would be inline with what their dragons are earning and where they are at. As I said it has to be attractive to the individual for them to buy gold. If your only earning 1000 an hour then 10000 for 250 gold would look good. But if you earn 40000 coins an hour you would never go for it and no gold would ever be sold making no money. No money means no more games!

Why is it that the cheapest food is the quickest. The more you try to grow the less economical it is. Why did I waste my money on a larger farm if I don't get a bulk discount. Not very happy with that game but trying to keep it alive for six year old grandson. How often do you have to feed the dragons before they get sick and die or don't they?

The cost of food from farms changed today, too. I planted scalypears spending $13K coin to get 1400, but when I harvested I only got 700. That doesn't even feed a level 7 dragon once!

I may have an explanation for the differences...it appears that some updates take place when you restart your device. Perhaps some with lower prices haven't restarted and gone the update of the day. This happened to me with the habitats (cost $30K coin to upgrad until I restarted my iPhone, then the same habitat was almost $50K coin to upgrade!)

Hi nettedavid. I just checked my food and thankfully the price, quantity, and time remain the same. I'm playing on an ipad2 and don't ever turn this puppy off so I'm not sure about the price changes happening that way, at least, for me.

Sorry about your food situation! That stinks! Awful long time to wait for a measly 700!

Ok, I'm sorry this is. I never buy gold for games and I finally decided to today. I desperately need another nest and I've only received 8 gold in the past 10 days from my neighbors. Before I bought 250 gold, my first additional nest was 25 gold. I bought 250 gold. When I went to purchase my nest, it said Not enough gold! I was like... ? When I look at the cost for the nest...... 800 GOLD!!! TL just GUARANTEED that I never ever buy gold from them again by doing that!

Seriously, in minutes, my nest went from 25 gold to 800 gold!

I'm just glad I got my 4 nests before they put the price up. Will sell you one for 500 gold lol. ��

Why has the amount of food grown in the farms decreased? It was 100 in an hour, 450 in 5 hours, etc, now mine is 50 in 1 hour and 230 in 5hrs!!!! That is a ridiculous change!

Why?!?!
