I've never bought bread. Frankly, I don't think it's worth it.

Blame it on all those players who thought it was 'unfair' that people who had played longer were farther ahead in the game, leading to the magical hourglass being introduced. Without the slow progress earlier on, you can't amass the gold and gems you need. Add that to the auction house being available with bread being bought for a pittance, and you have this situation. Sorry, but that's how it goes.

Sorry if I sound a little angry, that isn't my intention, I am just in one of those moods and everything I say and apparently write comes off sounding like I want to drown kittens. My wife & son have been chastising me about it all day, so please forgive me if the tone sounds upset or angry, I am merely trying to help.

I have to add my 2 cents here.
You say "i didn't manage to buy a single auction bread since i hv been 110:("
And you say "but i m lvl 112 and i hv 550k gold."
But most importantly you say "i use to buy auction bread at least 10-15 times a day eventually until i use all my gold"

So you said it, you did it to yourself by buying Bread every chance you could when you could. And by using up all your Gold.

How dare you complain that people who know how to restrain themselves are somehow 'unfair'.

I have 16.4 Million Gold and I have to say that I have bought everything possible in the game, and I have even bought Bread about 4 times, but only 4 times and only when I really needed it and it was reasonable and I had no BB's to use to get Energy.

Sitting out won't build your reserves, playing your energy at least once a day, fishing and doing the island quest, finding Lucas, freezing the wizard or doing any of a host of other quests while whacking bushes will. That's how Raymond, Melody, myself and a lot of other people have double digit millions of gold. I have, sometimes, spent way too much on auction bread, but that was for a specific purpose when I knew I wasn't going to have much time for a few days. Other than that, I won't waste the gold because who knows when you may need it.Complaining about the game not being 'balanced' is what started this mess so instead of doing that, I suggest you play 'smart', NOT 'fast',

NEITHER HARSH NOR I HAVE SAID THAT ANY OF THE PLAYERS ARE PLAYING UNFAIRLY AT ALL - NOT ONCE! Neither of us have blamed any players! Maxed-out & higher-level Players is a pretty broad statement & includes a ton of people - nobody has been singled out in any way on this! I blame the imbalance here on the game itself when it comes to The Auction House - The last two times that they've increased the Level Cap, they've done nothing to adjust the price/bidding amounts for the bread at all, nor to create another Level, to re-balance out the game here in this aspect, adjusting it to use the seemingly standard 15 levels as is used in-between the rest of The Auction House Levels. No, they just left it the same. So now we have 25 Levels of the highest-level Players bidding against each other, in one room, rather than the standard 15 Levels, separated by this huge gap in gold amounts that Players have earned. To me, this means that the maxed-put players have been given even more of an advantage here. I said Advantage! Ten more levels that they have played in addition to the rest of us, all the while vastly increasing their gold amounts, while those of us on the lower levels keep earning the same, our gold doesn't just increase in the same way, AND we still have to purchase items from The Store to advance in the game - Maxed-out Players have already bought all items, therefore having no need to spend any gold at all on items to continue to advance. Figure out the percentages, some of you seem to be so into figuring those out, and then tell me that this is a fair and proper balance. I'm fairly certain that all of you guys could not have had 10 million in gold saved up when you were still on level 118.

@ Monika ~ "Play smart, NOT fast." You have no clue as to how I play my game. I do play smart, and I do not play fast. I'm in no bug hurry to get all maxed-out, and have nothing to do, nor to own every single item available for sale in the game that isn't necessary for play or advancement. You have a year worth of time, and a whole lot of Levels of earning gold from whacking bushes on me - Maybe that's one point to remember here. I should not have to be bidding against you in order to buy energy with my gold. Plain and simple.

@ Raymond ~ You say this to Harsh, "So you said it, you did it to yourself by buying Bread every chance you could when you could. And by using up all your Gold. How dare you complain that people who know how to restrain themselves are somehow 'unfair'. I have 16.4 Million Gold and I have to say that I have bought everything possible in the game, and I have even bought Bread about 4 times, but only 4 times and only when I really needed it and it was reasonable and I had no BB's to use to get Energy."
Again, you do not have any clue as to how I play my game. You want to tell me that you advanced to your Level, as well as owning every item available in the game, by buying bread ONLY 4 times over the whole course of time that you've been playing? That's pretty damn good there. You want to tell me that I don't know how to restrain myself, causing me to foolishly use up all of my gold? What a crock of BS that last statement is - And yes, How dare you? Who are you to say that to me, or to anyone else? We all have the right to play in whatever way we choose, and I do just fine otherwise - Thanks. And, it's so lucky for you, and others, to have BB's to use at your will, if you happen to - I don't have that luxury - Thanks. You always want to boast about the fact that you do almost every daily quest every day, and how you own everything that's available for sale in the game. Well, you don't know me at all, and I am nothing like that. I don't want or need everything. That's not what this is even about.

@ Bob ~ Again, you have idea how I play my game, and have no right to try to tell me how to - Or, that your way of playing is any 'better' than mine. You have no clue at all about my game's cash flow, nor how I have used it to have any right to make these statements to me. I did not kill my cash flow in any way, and I do play careful with it. I say to you too... How dare you think you have the right to tell me that I'm playing the game wrong because it isn't in just the way that you play? Give me a break, that's nonsense. You just told me that the folks with all of the gold have that much because they play smarter than I do? Who the Hell are you to say that I play my game in a non-smart manner? You're not, that's who, as you have no clue as to what I do or don't do. As for your current Level, and your gold amount, one big discrepancy could be that you've only purchased the Mana Spell to Level 15, although you could have purchased the Mana Spell up to Level 18 by now had you chosen to. That's 3 big gold purchases right there. Do you have any idea how much those items cost in gold to increase your Mana Spell Level? Do you know how much gold it costs to purchase The Mana Spell item to whack Level 18 beasts? I had over a million in gold before I purchased that one. Had you purchased it too, you wouldn't have spent so much time counting all the way to 30-something when you were trying to figure out how many whacks it took between getting carrots - you would have only had to count to 20 each and every time if you had. And again... No, I am not about getting there the fastest or being first at anything! That's not what I'm about at all.

Dedication to the game was mentioned in several differing ways here. I am very dedicated to my game, I play every day, more than once, and have since I started to play. I do everything that is available to earn XP, gold and gems, that I can afford energy for to do every day, as well as the options for things to do and/or purchase to maximize my energy and my play time, as well as enhancing my game play.


This is NOT about who is ahead of who.
This is NOT about who has more than who.
This is NOT about getting everything the fastest or getting it first.
This is NOT about the varying ways of style of game play.

This IS about EVERY Player having the same, equal opportunity, in accordance with their Play Level, to have the very same chance to purchase energy with their gold alone in The Auction House, the same as every other Player. This is the only thing that this is about.
A Player on level 110 who does not have all items still necessary to purchase with gold, does not have the same resources to buy bread for energy in The Auction House as does a Player on Level 135 that has nothing necessary left to purchase with that gold.
The odds of a Player on Level 110 being able to outbid a much higher Level Player to get a stale, crusty loaf of bread for some energy in order to be able to advance and so forth, is not anywhere close to being equal.

The fact that all Players from Levels 110 through the Max Level of 135 (which is 10 more Play Levels, the highest ones at that, than at any other point in the game - all other Auction House Levels are of only 15, not 25 levels of Players) have to try to compete against all of the rest in this huge group, bidding on one loaf of bread, in one room, is not fair or at all balanced. Level 110 Players trying to compete in The Auction house with Players of much higher level is very imbalanced, and is unprecedented in the game. This is where I see the problem, and not in the way we play our games at all. The Auction House needs a Level of it's own for Players on levels 110 through 125.

Nothing in life is fair.
When I go to a real Auction there are people there who "then you know that u hv couple of million gold"
I can say that sometimes I don't even stick around in a real live auction if I see people there From Tucker Electronics, Leader Electronics, Electrorent or Agilent. Do I complain to the authorities that they have totally bottomless wallets? No. I live with it and live for the day that they don't think a certain auction is worth it, and there are some auctioneers that they don't even go to where I make out like a bandit.

As for "The last two times that they've increased the Level Cap, they've done nothing to adjust the price/bidding amounts for the bread at all"
Of course they have done nothing to that end. The cost of bread has nothing to do with the Level Cap, it has everything to do with what group of 20 levels that you are in. People who have restraint should have a certain amount of gold. But if you are like Harsh and bid 15 times a day around 18,000 for who knows how many hundreds of days, he has used up more Gold than I ever earned. The Auction House is not for daily consumption. You get your daily Energy and Friend Energy and Statue Energy and can buy about 1,000 Energy in Haven and for emergencies buy some Energy using Fishing Tokens, Island Feathers and Crypt Tokens and the occasional Bread.
It's totally unfair that you Harsh dominate the Auction House some 25% of a day every day. The people you complain about are probably never buying more than one Bread not the 15 you get.

But here's a secret. The people at Max like me or even near Max don't need extra Energy. Even during a short term Event like this we KNOW categorically that there will be time to complete it. We are not in a rush to finish it weeks before it's done. Like Bob said some of us just wait, but more like Monica we just what we have and that's a lot in and of itself.

But to correct you Pam, it's not a 'standard 15' levels it's 20. And the Developers HAVE changed the Auction House at least once:

There are actually 6 levels of Auction Bread:

10-29, starting at 500 gold
30-49, starting at 2000 gold
50-69, starting at 4000 gold
70-89, starting at 8000 gold
90-109, starting at 16000 gold
and 110+, starting at 32000 gold

A huge wall of text and I'm not even addressed. :C

@Raymond : It's totally unfair that you Harsh dominate the Auction House some 25% of a day every day. The people you complain about are probably never buying more than one Bread not the 15 you get.

why its unfair? why? because i have observed the time when most of the ppl in my auction lvl be inactive and i can get it for like 17k-18k? U get everything in game and u reached max lvl that called ur dedication, but when it comes me us, our game play method is unfair... HAHAHA unfair,,, no dedication at right? silly guy..

I use to stay up in game for that many hrs.. i have spend that much time observing all time slots for concluding around what time i will get those breads at cheapest price... i don't care if i have dominated the auction bread for 25% of a day everyday .. coz i hv seen that when i bid no1 else is bidding not bcoz i bid, but tbcoz none of them r online and even if online they leave auction at the very last min and i took advantage of that ... NOw thats called dedication...

Previously when you use to make joke on posts i thought this guy hv knowledge that y he is just showing off but u listen and u listen to me carefully u don't own any of this.. so don't accuse me or even try to judge anything.. keep ur verdicts with u.. if my dedication is unfair them U report me to the devs and let them investigate my profile..

U hv just started this app earlier then us.. thats the only difference between u and me... and if u feel so proud to me WHT.I.DO.IS.RIGHT then go on .. live in ur dream world but don't poke into my posts

@ raymond : The Auction House is not for daily consumption. You get your daily Energy and Friend Energy and Statue Energy and can buy about 1,000 Energy in Haven and for emergencies buy some Energy using Fishing Tokens, Island Feathers and Crypt Tokens and the occasional Bread.

WHERE THE HELL ITS WRITTEN that don't buy auction bread more then one? and its not for daily consumption?

go and get ur information corrected b4 u post anything... u r making urself look idiot in here..
