amaze v.tr surprise greatly; overwhelm with wonder
I've been playing for 6 months so I can't comment on previous Black Friday sales. However, the variety of items offered today is truly underwhelming, and does not in any way constitute "amazing deals". Really AMAZING Black Friday deals would have included some combination of the following:
* All boxes/crates for 6 gems (reg. 24 gems - 75% off)
* All expansions for 10-38 gems (reg. 40-150 gems - 75% off). The same 75% off the coins cost
* New appliance slots for 20 gems (reg. 49 gems - 60% off)
* Sonic/forever appliances for 12-21 gems (reg. 25-42 gems - 50%)
* Selected high-priced and/or gem-priced furniture, wall/floor decor, wall panels/floor tiles, appliances and counters 40% off
* All gems packages 40% off
Players would have been eager to use the gems they have and probably purchase more. The persons who play this game do so because they enjoy it immensely. I've set my alarm for 1 or 2 am (more than once) to wake me so I can serve dishes so they don't rot before I awake in the morning. The game has its annoyances and shortcomings, but we continue to play day after day.
It is obvious that some of the more seasoned players knew from past experiences to temper their excitement. I, on the other hand, probably opened my game 50 times, all morning, eagerly awaiting the "amazing deals".
It is challenging enough to remain motivated by RS. Surely, for one day, Storm8 could have AMAZED its loyal players.
P.S. A local cineplex held a $10 Movie Day (reg. $60) last Monday from 8:30 am?11:30 pm. 24,383 tickets were sold on the day. Did every person who went to the movies that day desperately want to see those films? I doubt it. But the price was right.
FACT: Humans respond to bargains (something you don't really need at a price you can't refuse). Do any of us need a fake Koi pond in our fake restaurant? Nope. But if the price is right? I'll take 5.
After reading all the posts I think it's safe to assume the crates are a dud! actually the whole Black Friday is a big fat dud!
I have spent too many gems (my choice) to get an item only to have a repeat!
I tried for the grand piano, hayrides and Clydesdale only to be disappointed. Isn't there some other way to get the items we WANT!?!
It's really kinda shady. I would be happy to spend gems on what I really want.
For Christmas we should be able to pick a couple of items we want out of a few crates!!!!!!
Regarding the gem sale I'm thoroughly disappointed. Why not 50% at least for one day!!!
Team Lava I hope you read all of these posts and give us some customer satisfaction.
End of second rant :-)
Thanks
