golds are of the old template, where i remember shaft dc etc costed atleast...   Let us address your concerns, players always complain, but there must be a balance. High demand reward of crus rf, will earn where it needs to. Or fomo and try to spend or get lucky at black friday. These events are never catered for f2p's in general, it sucks they kicked endgame crystal hoarders this time too. You pay a lot, or you pay less and grind a lot. Or you pay almost nothing but grind so much. I'm sure the game was well aware of the backlash this event will bring, but it won't affect them, what are the players gonna do, boycott? 🤣 It's about right for the general style, the rewards are eh but you get what you sow, some good events, some bad events, this will be ranked in the latter although imo it's still valid because if the step rewards are still the same, it's roughly more balanced now and not exceedingly profitable for spenders.   Fomo time, spend and firm, or wait for black friday to suffer and get lucky maybe.   Players seem to have already forgotten about the whole set of rewards you get from the actual minigame even if the main prizes sucked. 7540 rubies (based on 26 golds) for around: 200+ epic keys 100+ rare keys 200+ common keys and the main prizes.   IF, that is a big IF, the rewards for the moving forwards remains the same. 25740 rubies for this, is still far better than a general large epic key bundle. Minigame completions had likely increased, making dolphin spenders make a good profit for tanki bday, now the game has simply made them a bit more balanced in terms of rewarding. It sucks, but noone has to play this. I'll still skip this like every other island minigame i've skipped since shaft dc. 👌That is the plan, gotta collect the special paints, unsure as to what Miami beach has to do with cybertanks though, does anyone know?

certainly agreed with the conclusion there, would be nice to be able to temporarily restrict account gear to something for a set rank, but we have modules, which are a big issue rn, like u said in the rest of the message, a legend tryhard will always have a bigger edge...   How capable do you think the devs are, and how much effort do you think they'll put into the game?

I like how they made a bad change in the past (creating mini-games with one new skin each time for like 10k max rubies) and somehow made it even worse with this one. It costs almost three times as much as the last "big" mini-game and gives even less rewards... This has to be a joke... 

I really bought 8k rubies expecting that it'd cost that much like previous island games. Now cosmo days one had more skins and better augments yet it costed 1/3 of this minigame, Christmas minigame, costed 8k rubies again and had around 2 skins aswell and was a fair minigame, halloween minigame, at first we were dissapointed to find out there's only 1 skin but the cost to rewards ratio made us overlook the lack of skins in that minigame. Now if you're gonna make it that expensive, make it have at least all the RF skins we didn't get from cosmo days (hopper crusader, twins ricochet, tesla and railgun) that leaves you with 6 skins, if it had all these then I would consider buying the required amount. I just hope you never do this again and Halloween minigame should have either 2 or 3 skins for 8k rubies or have all Demonic skins for 26k rubies. You already did plenty of island minigames, can't you just compare which island minigame  was successful and make your future ones based on that?. I'm not spending 12k rubies for crusader RF.  

Lets address the Elephant in the room....Contracts. What you guys did for the Candy Crush style mini game was great. You got a lot of currency for the Gold contracts and the Silver and Bronze also gave some good points. However, the next event you immediately halved the rewards per contract but kept the same price....What are we doing here guys? Either increase the rewards for each contract (like how it was in the Candy Crush event) or just bring back the old style(which I and most people disliked).
