just post and complain. the price is totally ridiculous. i can see 20000 gems for gem mine but still to expensive. but 20000 for copper mine is stupid. 5000 is good price. and only allowed 3 should be 6 because there are 6 mines.

It's all about the money. They want you to spend money on this game, and the only way to afford this content is to spend $100 on a browser game. Ridiculous. The average player will never afford these items even if they never spent any of their leveling rewards and saved up gems. I'm most furious about the copper mine, which I was really hoping to use, but now it is a lost cause. I thought the veteran general was the worst you could get, but now I'm dumbfounded. The general is probably the most useful thing they have added to the game in terms of benefit.
The copper mine was really something I was looking forward to, and my hopes were dashed by greedy game makers who only care about the money. GG BB
me too almost took off work early to get home to buy them.
The gem mine is REDICULOUS ... $100 to get enough gems to buy the thing ... and its not upgradable. So good luck waiting 6 months to get enough gems back just to pay it off. Sure after the 6 months your laughing ... but for $100 ??
Copper mines, why not lower the price on the first one to lets say 5k ... most people could get 1, then 15k for next one ... then you could get your **** $100 ... but the customers would have 2 to show off instead of just 1. make the 3rd one 25k ... so you get another $100+ and then you can laugh all the way to the bank cuz some dumb idiot just gave you $200 !!!
Any game requiring money to get ahead is just that ... a game. Your choice if you want to buy it or not.
or what about part gems and resources. i hate to see what it cost to upgrade the copper mines.if any one finds out post it here.
Gem price kinda makes sense - they're the most valuable item in the game. But the copper mine is utterly ridiculous - I would like them to tell us if one single person buys it.
What a joke!
I am almost tempted to believe that BlueByte cares about profit more than they care about me.
wtf a tad bit 2 much
I'm not even tempted.. I believe!Quote:

We could have used longer running buffs, cool mods/upgrades to existing mines,buildings etc, those are things I would pay for, but 100 dollars for a gem mine? mmmmmm no and am not even commenting on the endless copper mine, nuf said already.
Based on my experience with the copper mine on the test server, the upgrades are similar to other special buildings, like the watermill and silo.Quote:

The early buyers get the benefit of having it *now* and the late buyers get it at what they feel like is a steal. Eventually everyone wins.
Although I'm curious to see if they ever offer a gem mine sale, or if they ever offer more than 5 per acct.

if bluebyte wanted to make money off this they should have made a 10-15$ charge to continue playing past the tutorial...would make much more sense on a gameplay level...i have no issue spending a few bucks supporting a free to play game however seeing as im already lvl 40 after 2 months of play and spending 0$...why the hell would i spend 100 bucks to "invest" in more gems...in 6 months i will have bought all the gems i need from gem sellers anyways
i wish they let u have more recycling plants. and copper mines limited to same . 3 . but there are 6 copper mines. what would be great would be an advanced geo that can find another mine you buy them for one time use or 3 . like you can buy a temp building spot.
Ok, let me preface this by saying that I have bought Gems twice, first time was 36k for $100 and second was 48k for another $100. I like the game and I do not regret spending the cash. I bought all my scouts, generals, building licenses, and bunch of other stuff that I wanted/needed.
The prices for these new structures are absolutely ridiculous, how can bluebyte justify asking players to spend in the neighborhood of $500 dollars to get 6 structure??? Have they lost their minds? I am sorry, but they need to drop the price on the Gem mine to around 5k and maybe 3k each on the copper mines. I will never spend another dime on this game if they keep up with the greedy BS that I am currently witnessing.
I was very excited about these structures when I heard about them, I was planning on getting 1 gem pit and 6 of the copper mines, but there is no freaking way I will ever pay that much for them, it is absurd. I am curious if anyone has purchased either of these yes, I hope they have not, BB should be punished for caring more about profit than it's players :(.
I am not impressed at all guys, drop the prices or I will quit your game, no matter how much I enjoy it....
Who voted "just right"?!?!?!?
Are you trolling or what?
There is nothing right about those prices, nothing at all!!!!
Unfortuanately, as more poeople buy these overpriced items, the stacks of cash piling up at BB are acting as a soundproof insulation.
They just can't hear the complaints over the sound of the cha-ching.
ha ha! they lowered the price but also lowered the amount you get. are you kidding me! used to be $99.99 for 27000 gems now its $ 79.99 for 24000 gems. so no difference just easier for low budget users to buy mines at lower cost out of pocket
easier
