Why do we have to pay for the Piggy Bank

Re:  Paying for gold bars/ breaking the Piggy Bank

I've been reading the posts about this issue. Although, obviously, I'd much prefer to receive them free, I actually understand charging for something you don't need to be able to play the game and progress. These games are free to download, play, receive regular updates with improvements and new content - and it's obvious that a lot of work and effort is involved in letting us have this. We have to put up with the odd advert with free versions of games, but surely it's not unrealistic to expect the developer to make some money by offering perks, which we can choose to buy or not.  It's not like it's huge sums and why shouldn't they make some money? I can't often buy the piggy bank or gold bars myself, but have done occasionally when I'm really stuck, but no-one forces you.  

Maybe King could offer more free gold bars by passing hard levels, certain milestones or daily events, something like that.  Other games do that and it does help those who don't have money to buy them.  It also makes regular players happy to reach a goal and receive them free as a perk - well it always makes me happy to win some on other games. Just a thought!!

I send lives but never received any

Check the life counter it's usually hidden in there. If someone asks for a life an envelope appears at the bottom left of the game.
