Man, I wish I would have bought a few GPDs back in the day!

I used to buy gold pretty regularly for specific things, like speed breeding for a particular limited or upgrading the Stable. Probably an average of $10 month- not a lot, but enough that I felt like I was showing support for a game I enjoyed playing every day. I always thought "I'll get White Gold and one other GPD on Black Friday, or next time they go on sale..." But, somehow, I always missed it.

That last time they did the good sale- I think it was 350, maybe 400 gold, each, for Stained Glass, Midas, and one other- I passed because I thought they'd put the other GPDs, which I liked better, aesthetically, on similar sale soon after. Nope. Then, the year I remembered in time and got my iTunes card loaded up with $100 and ready to go was the year they didn't do GPDs on Black Friday. Arg!

I feel bad for newer players who never even had an opportunity to get a GPD (other than Gold Horizon) at a reasonable price. They stand no chance of winning these events when up against older players with several GPDs that were bought for a fraction of their recent 'sale' prices.

I don't spend any money anymore because I don't like the changes made to the game over the last two years. One exception: I was desperate and bought $7 of gold to speed breed for the Party Dragon during that Tales but did not manage to get it. A "common." I was so pissed. So, that was it. Never again. I'm now a freeloading free player.😄
