Are you sure that every lv 200 player has tons of apples and spends gems in LB? You get paired in LB with people getting the same points/place as you in the last LB - so if you were 15th with 2500 points (just an example) these 200lvs did the same.... By now I think that LBs are easy to play... you just have to reach a lv 8-20 place so you wont be paired with 20000 plus LB winners
I do that for awhile now. Im in a ok group everyone has the milestones by now and Im trying to get the deethy. I saved 2 million apples over the last year (so long I didnt evaluate apart from SB) I bought one golden multiplicator and I am at 10800 I hope its enough but I can feed some more and maybe speed breed cause I want the unicornicopia anyway... Im lv 160 and not one of those crazy forests... I buy nearly every special habitat but thats it. You just have to accept that you only get every other LB main prize...
I dont know if that helps but at least enjoy the milestone prizes! And let us wish that the main prizes come back some day.
I would love to have the HP lion and especially the art pony!!!!!
Did you check there forests? Do they have prizes from the last LBs?
By the way I buy the golden unicorn every month, so Im a constant money giver but just for habitats or a bit speeding up.
