If youāre skeptical, the offer seems like peer pressure especially to members who are f2p.
I view it like alliance wars, itās almost like team work. Builds comraderie, Iām fortunate to be in an alliance with similar game play members so most did the offer.
I didnāt count because I donāt want to know but I can say my in box was flooded with gifts.
Our Alliance is smallish. And f2p or c2p. We call the offer Gemass in July! As leader, I find the offer a fun way of celebrating our goofy and fun nature. Itās very good for the esprit de corps overall. Plus there is no expectations demanded on members to do the gem purchase.
Merry Gemass everyone!
SG I like this offer! Itās nice when we can help fellow alliance members. We have a great alliance. Everyone is mature, willing to do their part & help others achieve. I dont mind those that cannot purchase. We all have different situations.
Butā¦could you plz make them anonymous? I like the idea of "giving without getting caught ".
I donāt think it should be anonymous. It should be optional.
And also add an option to send a custom message in case we want to. Tbh, Iād love to send messages attached to the gems. It would be time consuming but, itās sweet and some people could use more nice words than gems.
I think itās a great offer, and should be there more often, itās great to help your alliance. HERES THE DOWNSIDEā¦I LIVE IN OREGON USA AND THERE IS NO SALES TAX HERE SO GIMME MY REFUND PLEASE!!
Apple and Google handle all of the taxes and payment processing, so if you were mis-charged, Iād recommend contacting whichever one of them processed your payment.
Thereās a bit more information and links for each in this Support article:
Our alliance enjoyed the Valentines and now have jumped at the opportunity to purchase this current offer.
I find the āreducing social pressureā a disgusting message why highlight the " DO NOT FEEL OBLIGATED" and on and on about f2p what sort of an alliance do you have?
Our message was in lower case and simple "Please do not feel obligated to purchase the offer your contribution to our alliance is most appreciated "
We are a mature adult alliance and approach it as mature adults. I wouldnāt recommend anyone use that message I would simple look at my alliance and say it the way we always say it.
Thank u to the devs for again providing a nice gem reward for our members.
IMO, please do not stop this kind of offers. Twice a month would be ideal.
I even put up an alliance message āno pressure to buy the new gems offerā as my alliance is about half P2P and half F2P/C2P.
I was the first to buy in appreciation to my members. Also, it helps those who are F2P/C2P to get more gems as compared to saving like hell. As of now, 16 members bought the offer and for a small fee from those who contributed, everyone now has an additional 480 gems. I donāt really calculate but can anyone tell me how long does it take to get 480 gems collected by F2P? I am guessing a month or 2.
If all 30 members buy thatās an additional 900 gems per person in addition to the 300 gems from the offer. A total of 1200 gems would be equivalent to around USD15.
As long as there are no insensitive people in the alliance that says āWHY DONāT YOU BUY IT?ā, why be ashamed of being helped by other members.
These offers are awesome and Iād like if they appeared once a month like Atlantis offers. Good way to share joy with friends and more than 10 members buying it make it better value than those challenge offers. I understand and am ok with some members not buying it out of principle, and I doubt any reasonable adult would dwell on such minor thing or peer pressure you.
Yes, this offer is a great way to support alliance members but with all the nerfing done on the rewards and all that, donāt think Iām gonna spend money on the game
Iām newish so did t know about the Valās offer and just lept on it, I donāt care if anyone else uses it, was just nice to share the love with my team. Anonymous gift could make anyone that does feel uncomfortable not being able to reciprocate not worry about it but I honestly didnāt care if no one gave me any back.
Iāll bet you 99.9% of the people who purchase those offers donāt even pay attention who does/doesnāt in their guilds. Itās just nice to say hey we are all in this together. Thanks again SG for offering that and it would be cool if you made it a monthly/seasonal thing. Really builds moral.
