Is this a stupid game? Spend 330 gold bars to be rewarded for 15 bars?

Is this what I understand by this picture when it popped up on my device this morning as I opened Candy Crush Saga?

Yep, going 315 (or 300) GBs in the red (maximum) from this thing would be very stupid.

Smarten up, King; people aren't naïve...

It's 30 gold actually. You get all of the gold, the 5 plus the 10 plus the 15. Which equates to getting about 10% of your spending back, essentially, like a normal discount. It can be of some use to some players who buy boosters with gold. I have to confess today I counted myself in this group, because I am trying to see if an honest player can win in the Candy Cup, and although I have won a lot of gold in the champions races, they sure don't give us many free boosters any more in this game, so I have to buy them. It's not real gold after all, and as they say, you can't take it with you when you .....quit the game for good.

I just do not pay any attention to "Gold Bar Growbot". Only use gold when you really feel you need to, not on some whim. So, when I have had a necessity to use gold and old Growbot is around, I get some back. Not a bad deal when I would have used my gold anyway.

Has anyone finished this "Goldbar Growbot"?

Yes, I did finish it when I was playing in the Candy Cup. I needed a lot of boosters to win, so I did spend a lot of gold bars. I did win the 30 party poppers as a result.
