King you just keep making this game worse and worse. Why? It’s ridiculous that you took away the piggy bank option to purchase gold. $2.99 for 25 gold was a way better deal than any of your other “sales”. Also you could purchase gold with magic beans, that mysteriously stopped working at the same time the piggy bank stopped working. Hmmmm!!! Getting gold from magic beans was also a way better option to get gold then your “sales”. I reached out to customer support about both of these options disappearing and of course got a generic response that was no help what so ever. They just said sometimes things disappear as they work on improvements ect. We know the truth, if you’ve been playing the game long enough you have seen over time they just keep taking away the cool stuff that made the game worth while and replaced it with things that make the game harder and make no sense at all. These level are getting made harder so we spend money on the game. Greedy much King?? Listen to your players.. actually address their concerns.. this gold thing is really the last straw for me. You just lost a loyal paying customer.

    I will make sure the community manager sees it.

    As to the purchasing gold bars with magic beans, I have been playing since the beginning and never had that so it must have been a very small test. I will ask about that too as we didn't know about it. Tests do come and go and some never come back.

    The game gets harder but they usually tweak levels and it is possible to play without paying. Its just a lot slower.

    I don’t even play this game as much now. Its really to bad. I used to look forward to the farm pass events. I always paid the extra for the golden pass, but not anymore seeing I have 1 gold bar left and no more affordable options to purchase gold. I’m not exactly sure when the option to purchase gold with beans went away but I’ve had it and It wasn’t until I noticed the piggy bank was gone. I’ve been playing this game for a long time and I’m level 4451. I have seen SO many things change in this game and it’s just to put money in Kings pocket because these changes have not benefited the player. Thank you for addressing my concerns @Lady_Choo. I would like to get updates on this whole gold/piggy bank/magic beans issue. Can you reply here after you have spoke to the community manager? What is the estimated time frame? Or where can I find the status update about this as I believe loyal paying players should be able to get a direct answer or comment from King about what’s goin on.

    I was never able to buy gold with beans BUT regularly purchased the gold in my full piggy bank. Haven’t and refuse to spend any money on “current sales” buy 10 bars for $1.99.. is kraZEE when you use 9 to add more moves. 🤦‍♀️

    EXACTLY!! I’m not spending any money now either. Ridiculous prices for the amount of gold you receive. They have to be losing players left and right 🙄

    Ok so I have asked about this and the community manager checked with the studio who said they have never had a test where you could buy gold bars with beans. So they are not quite sure whats happening there.

    As to the lack of piggy bank, that is part of a (very unpopular) test (it seems) so she is noting your feedback.

    not playing till the piggy bank comes back. No need to. Congrats on turning off a loyal player who paid $ when her piggy bank was full.

    Thank you @Lady_Choo for getting some more information and replying here with the update. I am wondering if we can get someone else involved as you can see from my screen shot that I just took, this has/was an option in my game. If you click the + on the magic beans this screen pops up where you can purchase gold with magic beans. However now it won’t work and just brings me to the other purchase options. Can someone else get involved please because if this is still showing in my game clearly it was an option and someone has to know about it.

    I am opening my game now! It might always have been there but now we have a clearer picture. I don't remember it but having said that, I don't buy anything. So thank you for the screenshot!!

    Argh I don't have that! Just gold bars for buying with real money.

    I do actually have the same thing (you get it from clicking on the bean bank) but actually that is for buying beans with gold bars. I trialled it and my gold went down 10. Not the other way around 😊
