Valentines.... Rip off!

[Unregistered]

This is such a joke. Apart from new dishes to cook, unless you buy gems there is nothing new for the restaurants, not one measly item is for sale using coins.

If you rely on the micro payments method of making money Team Lava, remove the label Free game in the marketplace. It's a blatant lie.

[Unregistered]

Uh do you expect them to work for free? Do you want to create a free game with updates and be paid nothing? If not then you know what to do.

People that buy gems support the developers so that people like you can play for free. No one is forcing you tk pay, except by accident, so why are you up in a tizzy?

Show some gratitude.

EXACTLY, nice to see I'm not the only one who isn't a 13 year old socialist on the board tonight. I'd love to see one of these creeps produce a game like this, as good as these, and put it out for free to see maybe it's not as easy as their incessant whining indicates they believe. I know I couldn't do it...thus why I'm not a negative ninny like some of these kiddies.

[Unregistered]

Yeah besides that, you got free gems from downloading the update and some gems from leveling up the new recipes. That's already enough to buy one of the new vday items.

I was saving $250,000 to expand and was almost there when I downloaded valentines. Now the same expansion is $500,000  Did this happen to anyone else? What can I do? If I delete valentines version will I deleted my game? I would appreciate your advice, thanks!

No, your game will be fine. You can just go back to playing the original

Oh look it's a couple of jerkoffs from team lava. no one expects you to work for free but your price for gems is outrageous. Not to mention all the glitches and bugs this game has that reduces earnings, steals money due to so-called "server syncing" problem, and missing food probelms. Anyway, i'm done with the game and any future with Team "flamers" Lava games.

If the TL Bully boys want to convince people that they are only other "customers" they ought to learn how to alter their writing patterns. Can always tell when one of them is at play instead of at work.

Please be done with the forum too! No one wants to hear your whining.

You can believe whatever you want and I did not respond on this thread but I have been 'accused' of being a Team Lava member on more than one occasion. I actually find it kind of amusing. Why is it so hard for you to believe that some of us players like the games and support Team Lava? You're wasting your time and deluding yourself if you think you are writing to Team Lava. If they had the time or the inclination to read this board, maybe they would be monitoring it!

He has a valid point. No one has a problem paying gems for some things. But a few items ought to be for coins too.
TL advertises '"FREE WEEKLY UPDATES" and that "the game gets better and better". So I guess you have no problem with a company that blatantly lies in its advertising and allows porn on their forums, even as they are directing children to visit the forum for more information. You support Team Lava with all of this? I really hope you are not planning to reproduce.

I can't believe people get this upset over this silly game. They are imaginary fake valentine items. If you don't want to pay the money for them who cares. Go do something else then. Just be happy you have this silly game to play to pass your time.

As usual, you people who are "so happy with this silly game" never address the main point, of the lies, deceptions and other numerous problems. Just once, I'd like to see someone defend these actions, or lack of from TL.

Get out of the kitchen!!! You're in the big leagues now so stop whining. If you can't handle this game go back to tiny chef. I seriously doubt you've ever spent money on this awesome game anyhow so it's no big loss.

[Unregistered]

And you would know that how? I have spent plenty on these games. And again, you never addressed the issues. Continuing to attack me instead of answering the question makes your posts all the more suspect. I love hearing you guys attacking all those who have legitimate grievances as whiners. Answer the question or shut up!

Just because we can use proper spelling and grammar doesn't mean that we work for Team Lava. We're just better educated than some of you.

No, the main point is that this is a GAME, not the solution to world peace. It's a free country, don't like it, delete it! If I were a developer, I would change some things about the game too but until you get your programming degree, give it a rest!

Again, no real answers. What are you doing here then? If you can't stay on topic and discuss it as an intelligent, reasonable person, get off the thread. Delete it from your puny mind. Stop whining about what people write and move on to another thread. There are hundreds of them out there.

Now take that paragraph and substitute "thread" for game. That's is how you talk to me...you don't discuss the merits of the argument or try to counter it in any reasonable way. It's just "if you don't love every single about it, stop playing." Ludicrous. Well, I'm telling you...if you don't like this thread, get off. Go stick your head back in the sand or back up your arse..I really don't care. Don't like the thread? Don't play.

I really don't think it's the fact that you have complaints about the game that upsets people. It's the anger of your posts and the way that you attack anyone who doesn't support your position. That is why people keep arguing with your posts. I would like to see changes to these games too but I can keep in perspective that it's just a game, not really that important in the big picture.

Dude....it's the big picture on here. We are not discussing world peace. I get angry when people tell us to stop complaining and to delete the game if we don't like it. My last post sounded angry because I was imitating the way I am spoken to most of the time by defenders. It's not the game, I have problems with, it's the company. I don't have to have a programming degree to discuss the fraudulent abuses that take place. I am a consumer, who has spent money on these games. I am not "whining, expecting everything for free and I am not 13 years old". I have met 1...exactly 1 person who disagrees with me that I have been able to have a rational discussion about the merits of our arguments. It may not be important to you...fine..so be it. It is important to others.

Maybe you should write to customer support. I don't think the developers read this board.

I think one is reading it right now. So this is the new talking point? Write to TL? Gee, what a novel idea. Well, there is no real customer support here, and guess what? Do you know the names of the developers? The President of the company? Oh, excuse me, I mean the "co-founders". Their actual physical address? Their attorney of record? Just try and find some of that info. There is no published information about them.

[Unregistered]

Mind you, just a theory.... But I'm guessing the "co-founders" are the president/CEO/VP, who are also the developers, and customer service... Etc etc. Why do I wonder if this is the case? It's small business 101. Consumers find comfort in believing a company is comprised of staff and departments. It would also explain the lack of info on the company site. Their trademark atty is listed, buuuut that's not where you were going with your post. I get your frustration, but you might be better served, when responding, by simply stating "yes, I did and ...." if you reciprocate the sarcasm/insults you only defeat yourself. You have valid concerns.

Folks nothing other than world peace, is an important as world peace.... So let's rise above that type of response. The poster has the right to be heard... Allow him the respect you'd hope to be treated with. If you are condescending and rude... It says more about you than him and doesn't actually nullify his point of view.

There are employees reading this thread, Norman has identified himself and two others as employees. Perhaps we could and should expect employees to address these concerns since they pertain to teamlava.

Do I even need to say anything about the "shut it" response?

Oh please, spare me. Most of us have been attacked and treated with rude and sarcastic attempts to keep us from expressing our concerns. Personally, I've always tried reasonably explaining my position, but unfortunately, some people can only understand sarcarsm. I'm not here to be beat up on by every TL goon that decides to try to bully us. That was the 3rd time I'd come across the "why don't you try writing to TL?" In other words, keep it off the forum so that no more people see the validity of your complaints. Nice try. Do you know how hard it is to find out who works for this company? They are hiding behind security the Mafia would envy. Makes you wonder what they are worried about. This company is a Storm8 spinnoff, the same people who last year had to settle a lawsuit because they were illegally gathering your phone number from code they wrote to get around Apple's safeguards. One of the "co-founders" now lists himself as a Storm 8 developer. Does anyone really think that somehow they are unaware of what they are doing or that there are complaints about it here? Norman has been asked these questions, and of course, he has not answered. That should tell you plenty.

Lmao!! I was actually trying to defend your right to post without getting lashed or having people use silliness to circumvent your pursuit of information. Nevermind... You seem to want a fight... Enjoy.

Oy Gevalt! It's Stanford! Cool beans. Listen, I appreciate your help...I do..but sometimes your post is a little mystifying as to whom you are really talking to . As for fighting, some days I just get tired of having to explain an issue that should really need no argument. I don't wish to sound...ummm...pompous...(I know we've both heard that word before), but the sheer immorality and the lack of concern by most people who post is just...sickening.

You and your associates want to do a little pro bono work?

Lmao!!! Sorry NYC, I'll take the constructive criticism, i probably should do a better job of directing my gaze at my intended victims (lmao!!).

I'm still getting used to this forum thing.

(DIRECTED AT GENERAL PUBLIC, not you NYC, lol) It's a strange world where folks take such pains to behave so rudely. Its a disease, I find myself attempting to mediate or promote Healthy dialogue.

Good Gads!!! You used the P word!!!?!? Sorry, dropped my phone before it burst into flames!! I kid, but seriously we start that discussion and we'll get your thread closed :/ I honestly laughed off and on for a good 5 minutes at the "off topic" justification for closing the other.

Omg!!! Was I the one discussion you referred to in an earlier post?? Im crossing my fingers, I sure hope so!!! I tried to post a msg to last thread to thank you for a fulfilling debate/discussion. I read your post and nearly applauded! Lmao!! we were thinking the same thing.

Ok back on point... WTH were we talking about? I'm kidding!!!!!!

I'm not NYC...just a fan of both of you. I think you have confused some of his posts with mine, but the three of us have been having discussions, although initially it was he and I and then you joined in and you and he had that wonderful debate. As to where we were, you were defending my right to defend the OP of this thread. I and a few other friends who find themselves as outraged as I am about the several issues in question are continuing with our campaign to raise awareness and keep hope alive (as it were). I am the person who has asked both you and NYC for advice. Yes, the closing of that other thread. Norman is priceless, isn't he? I wonder who writes his material?

[Unregistered]

Yes, you were the one discussion I was referring to. NYC actually does not agree with me...but he was somewhat swayed by my argument, that I had relied on TL's stated promise in their ads when making gem purchases. You were advancing my argument. Hope that clears things up a little...it's difficult to know the players without the scorcard...another reason we need registration. You can refer to me as LS...(law student) Hopefully that will clear up some confusion.

Omg!!! It's bad enough I'm trying to get used to communicating in forums, but without usernames it's really confusing!! Shall we choose some nicknames for ourselves to close our posts with? For our own sanity?
