Just be careful, i advised players to do this months ago when i lead GUST(Gem union of sellers and Traders) and Meesher had warned me that petitioning/boycotting is against the TOS. i would recommend stating to your guild your case and let them decide for themselves, dont even recommend them not buying gems just tell them to decide for themselves. I dont see why anyone who buy gems would continue buying unless something is done but it is up to each individual to do so, i am just warning you as i dont want to see anyone getting banned or perma banned over this.

I too have spent over $1,000 on this game and refuse to buy any more gems until we get a bonus like the others got. Hell I have $500 just for a good sale, but now i will only spend that in TSO if its a 300% or better. YOUR MOVE BB!

Whatever their reasons, the optics are not good.

I also agree, 100%, We shouldn't be cheated on gems. 3x on the German and UK server, that's just not fair. Thanks for pointing this out Dilnard!

Bluebyte is one of the worst companies of all time in the online browser game world for these kinds of reasons.

What's an even bigger problem is that they will never respond to messageboard posts this like. Never will they give even a thought about coming to a thread like this and giving their reasoning or opinion. We are slaves to their gems and it sucks because nothing can be done about it while the Europe servers prosper and have nothing to complain about. I've spent hundreds of dollars on this game, but honestly, it's been a mistake that I can't take back now. I hate you, Bluebyte... honestly.

I am upset about this to give German servers a better sale on OUR Holiday is a smack in the face,Now I understand this game is not owned buy an american company but this is an american server. If this is not remedied it will be a long time before I buy more gems (If ever)

A few days later we discovered the British servers received the same 3x sale. The most we have ever recieved in the US is a 2x sale. That was once and was not even for a whole day.

I would like to know when the US servers will be getting a 3x sale. Handling relations in this manner is what annoys people. A few people have quit due to such handling and several people have stated they will not buy any more gems until we are treated similarly.

Again, when will we be treated to the same sale the Germans, and then the British received?

Well said DILNARD and i agree - will not be possible for me to purchase any more gems which I would like to do until this grave error is rectified. Hopefully soon.

I agree that is a huge slap in the face. I will log in to chat but i will NEVER EVER purchase gems again even if they offer the 3x gems sale.

I was banned from chat for talking about this and asking to look into it and saying i wont buy no more gems = banned from chat and maybe further action against my account. Now that total bs

They will have to ban the entire server eventually if that is that the case. Everyone is up in arms about this issue and frankly I am boycotting purchasing gems until the issue made fair.

Everyone has the right to do what they please (to buy gems or not), this is a free to play game after all. But telling others to not buy gems would break the TOS. I would like to see this thread flourish and have UBI give us what we want. If any of us break the TOS in this thread i could see them not doing anything and just make BB take the hammer out. In order to get what we want, imo, we need to follow the rules. It is up to each individual to determine if they would or would not like to buy gems, I for one will not be until they fix their mistake.

Sales vary by region based on a variety of internal factors and metrics related to the individual economies of each region. That being said, I can categorically tell you there is NEVER any malice intended when a sale is offered to one region vs. another. I am sorry you have been unhappy with the sales that have been offered in the North American region but I can assure you they have been thoughtfully set in the best interest of our specific server economies. Because the boycotting nature of this thread is in violation of our Code of Conduct, I am closing this thread.
