When the next gold sale comes around, please think about increasing the amount of pretend gold that we receive in exchange for the amount of money we pay. The various challenges are costing us quite a bit of gold, which ultimately requires the purchase of more pretend gold using real money. I have often given gold away to help players who can't afford to buy gold. There *are* people who are on fixed incomes who enjoy the game although they cannot afford to purchase gold. Thanks so much

I think a big ask…..but, maybe when “buying gold for a friend” he could sweeten it up somehow. 🧚🏻‍♀️

Also the exchange rate, pegged against the US dollar as the benchmark is very high currently, for most of our currencies. I notice how much more it costs in AUD (Australian dollar) now for example when buying the same amount of gold I usually get.

Maybe " game coins " not pretend gold Sharon. Lots of games on Internet let us play for free but offer a game coin price too if wanting to progress and not wait 24 hrs to get to next level  for very minimal monies. ( free sprinkles in this game every 20 hrs i think). But I agree, we don't get  much from paying real currency in this game considering it gets eaten up quickly with challenges, quests e.t.c. It should be doubly increased - maybe more players would buy gold if it was worth it. Especially the small package for newbies. I really don't see an influx of new players here, just players that have been here for years remaining loyal to the developer possibly, as well as enjoying the game.

Those are my thoughts exactly, Carol. Many thanks to you who offered your opinion.

Totally agree with you Sharon and Carol. Challenges are very costly indeed and those of us who buy gold spend a small fortune.

Yes, for those of us that are not American the exchange rate is quite costly… I typically pay upwards of $15 CAD above the cost of the biggest gold package. It would be very nice to have some sort of adjustment to offset that cost.

I wish there was a way to get organic food other than buying gold.
I can't really see the motivation for using organic food outside the times you are trying to attract something to your garden..Otherwise it is just a cost to you, that you are paying real $ for but not really getting much return from  except for some diamonds if things are spotted. The result is many, many gardens using regular food much more often when they are not particularly attracting something they need... many more previously than when there was 'in game' gold to buy organic. And this slows the whole game down considerably imo.

I always do the pottery lottery easy sometimes intermediate . Sell my vase and make gold that way!
