Loot! Weapons Loot! Now we're getting somewhere.

Bidding war out of control. The price of frozen manors has doubled in the past month. Witch towers are following suit after having been kept artificially high by a reseller. I might have a bunch of coin that I don't know what to do with, but not enough to participate in this nonsense.

[...] a question for the dev team: you guys have a product that can only be bought with gems that is called invasion of the nords. this adventure used to have a very good drop rate for frozen manor. it was reduced to almost nothing, how is this a good idea ????? seeing as though alot of players only thing left to do is fill their islands with frozen manors. you make them almost extinct!?!??! does this make people buy more gems for invasion of the nords!? or drive them away from the game in frustration?

A fantastic question - and one I have attempted to acquire for some time: I asked for responses on this forum; via ticket submission; via CS email (BB); via CS email (UBI), and guess what? Not a single response.

Not sure what their intention was, but the only people enjoying this is the greedy hoarders who attempt to monopolize the TOs. As far as the BB/UBI intentions of getting people to buy more (or buy less) of the Nords2 adventures, but I doubt there are enough hoarders who are willing to spend that kind of coin for a sub-2% drop rate. 1495 gems works out to what in USD? $10 per adventure (≈$500 per drop); $6.23 per if you purchase the big package at regular best value pricing (≈$311 per drop). I am betting there are very few players who can afford to play Invasion of the Nords at that price. There is no other real valuable loot in there (well, rainbow bags are ok, but also not common, so still not a real bargain for spending on the adventure).

All that being said, the fact that BB/UBI continue to ignore, leave the crummy drop rate AND kept the original price tells me one of two things:

1. It was the designer's intent to stop players from buying/running this adventure, and from all available reports, it has stopped people from running them less they are blessed with one dropped from a Nords.
2. There may be sufficient players purchasing the Invasion of the Nords adventure still. IDK? As such, they do not feel the need to respond to us.

In any case, in most issues, there is no response from the dev team on our concerns/issues. We have good BB Rep's trying to interface, but I do not think they are either told the answers by the dev team; or are perhaps not allowed to tell us. I am not a religious person, but it does remind me of the part in Job where the deity essentially informs Job that they owe him no explanation for the things that occur in his life.

Note that there may be a bigger picture: Loot has been nerfed on many player-favorite adventures and ALL coop adventures; defenders in FT's were boosted to kill LOTS more troops, though loot is better; Expeditions are being pushed. That may be the ultimate driving point to some of these changes; get players to merrily frolic over to the nearest colony to play some more PvE.

all due to the decrease of the drop rate chance from the adventures (and increase gem prices for nords2), it will cost somewhere around 3.5million gold coin to loot 1 frozen manor from a nords2... FM price is no where near there because of the christmas "giveaway" a few years back- eventually more FMs and WTs will be taken out of circulation of market and prices will only get higher

TH plays on ares?

Lol, no hoarding for me. I actually use my resources one way or another and the frozen manors sit beautifully on my island housing the fighters. BB has it all wrong I guess?

TY, I suppose I am not alone. As I mentioned earlier, many of the hoarders/greedy ones perform their TO duties as if they are real players on Wall Street and their children's support is directly responsible for survival. lol (This is a game, right?)
