Border Collie WAY too expensive!

[trace35]

I agree it is annoying not to be able to complete any goals without gems. I know however as this is a way for them to make money from the game, a compromise would be to do what is done in zoo2 , which is have maybe just a couple of goals that don't need gems to complete?! That way people without gems can still keep ticking over new goals

Hey acrecce, thanks for that! There are contests? I had no idea! Where? In the forum? Or in the game?

I know they need to make money, but they won't get any from the players who can't or won't buy gems! Emotional blackmail is not a solution, and just upsets players who will end up giving up! Half my neighbours in pet story have quit already. The same does not happen in bakery story where you don't need gems for goals (not yet anyway).
Wake up TL you're losing players here! :-(

By the way there are people who want to buy gems in order to buy the extra cool stuff that looks nice, which they don't need for goals, but they WANT to have in their shop. And that's how it should be. If they feel forced to buy, I think even they'll stop playing...

I love to have the broder collies but I am not paying 596 gems for a family! I will stick with my husky!

I agree. I have noticed that since I have been getting higher in levels that non of my goals can be met without buying gems. I can't get anymore animals or breed anything else without buying gems. And all my goals require gems as well right now. I'm at a stand still There should be another way to do it without having to spend money.

Virtual pets should not cost more than live pets, just sayin. The tree frog alone is over $90, please. Only a total idiot would pay for that.

Hi all, ESPECIALLY TL staff.

i just wanna give my 2 cents worth about the border collie. i know these issues have been raised before, but i havent seen any resolution or explanation.

1. is this not a typo? cause the 2nd highest gem priced animal is the yorkhire terrier for 39G, so an additional 110gems is extremely excessive. hence maybe a typo.
2. since we cannot earn gems, this price becomes completely irrational.
3. the gold we receive according to the image is "+8 "gold per 18 mins, but a breed information document says it returns 32 gold per 18 mins, could someone please explain what this initial amount is and how this initial amount is calculated per animal? what we see is what the image displays, IE: +X coins per Y minutes. what do we actually receive?
4. the amount of coins received is completely irrational.

let me explain point 4.
lets compare the bengal and the border collie since they both require gems. (using the breed database created by DLP44)
bengal cost == 7 gems
border collie == 149 gems

bengal returns 120 coins per 60 mins. (rank 1)
border collie returns approx 96 coins per 60 mins (lets take 32 coins x 3) (rank 1)

can TL really justify the price vs the return?

why cant it be a ridiculously high cash price like the american eskimo or the ferret or even the basset hound? at least thats still obtainable.

i know there are ppl out there like me, willing to spend real cash on the game, but come on, 149 gems for an animal that returns so little? and no, the goals we can complete does NOT compensate in any way since we need to probably spend gems on those too.

TL, this has to be a typo, it makes no logical sense.

please explain to us, what your logic is for making the border collie 149 gems.

and lastly, i am not trying to be a menace, there is just no possible way that TL can expect ppl to actually buy the collie, let alone 4 of them!

I agree, I love this game but it is just so expensive. I mean I can't even change the name of my shop unless I pay 10 gems. That is ridiculous! It's my shop, I should be able to change its name without any cost.

my main concern is the border collies. the money return per animal i'm going to approach TL again, cause i havent found anything about it on the forums.

but i am starting to realize that the more expansions you get the high the price and the amount takes a long time to accumulate...

but thats a whole other ball game.
