The price is insane like everything else in the trader

First post. I think. I can't buy gems. The job market hasn't been my friend lately and I like my kids more than my island. Sorry island! Fortunately, I am a very patient player. I'm going to run an adventure here and there, and eventually get myself to a higher level. I would absolutely love to use the 2K gems I've saved (having never spent a single one earned from leveling or logging in every day!) to buy a 4K gem pit... make those the equivalent of a $10 donate instead of $100 and players would be all over it, even with the long payoff, because they could buy a couple now while the game is still pretty strong and see benefits over 6 months.

The other theme I'm seeing here is a need to get some randomness to adventures... but that's another thread. Now I need to find the thread.

Currently, I believe that the price of the gem pit and the endless copper mine are outrageous.

I would consider paying $100 for the gem pit ONLY if it was endless, upgradeable, and buffable. Other than that, I would never waste my money on that.

With the endless copper mine, there is no way i would spend $100 on it...I wouldn't mind paying 2,000 gems for the mine. If the developers later decided to create other endless mines...I would be willing to pay 3,000 gems for an endless iron mine and 5,000 gems for an endless coal mine. At those prices, I would even be willing to buy more than one of the endless mines.

Um, isn't the Recycling Manufactory technically an endless, upgradable, buffable coal mine???

And it only costs 990gem???

I was wanting to buy one but i can not find anyware that tells me how much the copper mine puts out and if it is upgradeable

Those who know me, do know that I lost interest in adventures many months ago as (to me) they all began to feel the same -- I'd like to see other ways/routes for leveling incorporated into the game.

We started seeing a great deal of attrition in long time players (including well established guild leaders) several months ago, and now it appears as if we may begin seeing a new wave of experienced players begin to leave because of the constant grind, the predictability of adventures, and the continued bugginess of the game. Aetius has never been one to whine or complain. It is therefore not unreasonable to posit that if he is speaking up there are many more who feel the same and are simply silently dropping out of the game.

It may be that BlueByte has run the numbers and have determined that the attrition of high level, long term players has little economic impact and is more than made up for by the influx of new players who are willing to drop $$ in the gemshop (and high dollars as evidenced by the cost of the new gem and copper mines) in order to level up quickly. That would be a pity, since the long-term players have contributed so much to both the social and practical aspects of the game.

i completely agree with you shuttlepilot i am quite discusted with the corps at BB this is a **** rotten of them

I tried it on the test server.
You can upgrade to 5 and it has the same output as the regular ones.
It is a bit more costly to upgrade.
