The announced price changes made it sound like we would be getting more gold for our money.
Well it's only the three higher packages that are USD $31.99 (+250), $80.99 (+500) and $119.99 (+2500) that give any bonus.
Players that can only afford the lower tier packages $7.99 and $15.99 see no extra bonus.
I'm sure most of the players that use gold fall into the latter category.
However, the cost to reduce construction time for buildings, troops and ships has been raised from 20 to 25 gold!
Even if you buy the $120 package you are still paying more.
Old pricing 22,500 gold for $120 - that gives you 1,125 reductions ( 22500/20=1125)
New pricing 25,000 gold for $120 - that gives you only 1000 reductions ( 25000/25=1000)
So it cost you 3125 more gold to get the same amount of reductions with the new pricing.
Remember - the "bonus" you got for buying the $120 package was an extra 2500 over the old pricing.
So you are 625 gold poorer buying their best package than you were before.
For the majority of us that won't get an extra bonus, the cost of the game just went up 25%.
(20 + 25% = 25)
How is this good for us? Sounds more like it's good for Grepo.
That's the last gold I buy - game getting too rich for me.
