Hello, i would like to make this post to stop ATA from moving items that many should be able to enjoy from the t500 and t1500 leaderboard to t100. Like the pet style boxes and now the stat item that completes the story collection. Leaderboard should be a choice not be forced on us to get items that should be for the majority. First it was pet style boxes and now it's the Story Stat that completes the collection! ATA caters to the wealthy and forgets the little people as there are more of us. This is unfathomable and we can't act like we don't know why they did it.. Greed. pure and simple. Why else would they move it to T100. They want more people to spend money to get it. If we don't do something next It will be the decor boxes! And after that they will get rid of the 1500 tier altogether. Who knows? ALL I know is I don't like it and I don't agree with it! I'm sure I'm not the only one! All I want is for ATA not to forget who got them where they are, the little people. And also stop messing with the leaderboard items unless they are actually going to add things to them! There is plenty on this game I'm sure that needs more attention than the leaderboard. Thank you.
The leaderboard is a choice. No one is forcing you to spend money on the game. Thats a decision you make yourself. Stop blaming others for your own decisions. People who spend money on the game deserve exclusive things that free players cant get. Coz they are paying money for it. If you cant see that then you need to drop your ego down and stop being so self entitled. The world owes you nothing.
Ata are a business. They have bills to pay. Staff wages to pay. And they are a business so yes they need to make profit otherwise whats the point in running a business. Especially with forever increasing prices for everything
The people who got them where they are are those who spent money on their games. Coz it gave them the money to be able to expand and improve
AND YET, STILL NONE OF YOUR 3 REPLIES HOLDS ANY MERIT.... I can only assume you're a big spender, work for ATA, and never on the leaderboards. There are plenty of ways for ATA to make money, but, yet here you are tryna justify the means to milk the cow. ATA could've just stuck with random box drops. but nope players like you rather enable milking. ATA has many other games and I'm sure they do other things to make income & ends meet. The point is OP is right & you're wrong
They’re trying to make incentives for people to buy. Yes it stinks for those of us who can’t afford to pay to win those things, but you also have to consider how much more effort goes into avatars, stat items, and furniture today compared to a year or two ago. I don’t know how ATA does their payroll, but I’d like to think that they’re raising pay stakes to afford more quality content. Sorry you’re feeling this way though, it can be frustrating.
Nope your assumptions are wrong. I havnt spent a cent on this game apart from the cheapest ec thing for a name change coz i didnt wanna wait to save up ec from the spinner. I dont work for ata. I will never work a office job that shit is boring as fuck and way to much sitting. But yes i never make the leaderboard for anything coz i dont spend money on the game to get on the leaderboard. The fact you think theres nothing wrong with paying people getting nothing extra that free players cant get shows the state of the world we in. And its completely fuckd. Stop being so self entitled. And if im wrong what is ata if they are not a business? What are they doing that they have no bills or staff to pay even tho there is a team of people who work on the games as a full time job?
Just coz you didnt ask for it it doesnt mean no one asked for it. The world doesnt revolve around you
Please try to make your reply in one box. @DinosAreTheOldestCars I'm not sure you read what I said.. because I wasn't complaining on spending money on the leaderboard or blaming others?? My problem was not "paying people shouldn't get extra." what im talking about in this post, they are not getting anything extra anyways. ATA just took away something that the paying people already get. They took it away from the lower tiers of the leaderboard(t500 & t1500). The leaderboard was fine with how it was before is what this post was about not about ata making money. I still believe they should put the stat item & pet styles boxes back in t500 at the very least. If they wanna get rid of t1500, fine. Because you don't really get much in that tier anyways since they keep taking stuff away. And I said they need to leave leaderboard alone and move onto something else that would make them more money(the mermaid auction came in clutch) OR make us happier with the app as in adding things in sure plenty of ppl gave them feedback about wanting to see. Where you see ata making "incentives" I see "forced". There is no wrong or right way to see it, it just depends on what you believe in. And what I believe is that yes, ata is a business and they have plenty that make them money. They really just need to leave the leaderboard alone unless they add to the rewards rather than take them away from others. I'm not entitled for having my opinion because I believe in change. I don't believe in "oh that sucks they did that, oh well nothing I can do." That's why they make these forums. They want feedback. And my feedback is stop catering to the Pay to play. That literally has been proven to ruin app games because those p2p player.. you have no idea how long they will stay till they move onto something else to spend money on or the next big thing. Also this mermaid auction is exactly what I'm talking about as well. I like the idea you get your ecs back but still caters to the P2P. You brought up increasing prices they have? What is increasing in prices that affects Pimd? And thats double sided, exactly, we regular people have inflation! Gas prices, food going up etc. I'm not a statistical person but I'm sure they make enough money already they don't need to worry about anything in the real world. I'm sure someone that likes statistics can research that. I also like how u assume I dont spend money to support ata. I do. I try not to spend when it's blatant cash grabbing p2p. Things I don't support because like I said it ruins the app.
I also went to like 5 BBBs. Where u have to spend 100 dollars. So theoretically in 1 month I spent 500 dollars on pimd and got a total of 3 guy avis and a bunch of small furniture. No big ticket items at all. I'm sure you think thats ok too. We'll I don't. Considering how much is in the box why am I getting a bunch of essences and crap from a better version of the buddy box? Oh that's why because ata makes pimd nothing but a cash grab.
For starters this post isnt about ata in any way at all. Its a question about the sentence that is constantly repeated in america. And also if you arnt seeing the forever increasing prices of everything either you are rich and so you never look at price tags or mummy and daddy still pay for everything for you. Any other situation you would see it.
It sucks sure but its how it is. Its a gamble. No different then putting $20 in a poke machine. Could walk away with 10k or with nothing. Its a known risk that you enter with. You cant blame other people for you deciding to take the risk. Otherwise people would be constantly hounded at casinos for wanting their money back coz 'iTs NoT fAiR'. If you dont like it then dont do it. Its simple
Ata makes the rules how is this not about Ata? Idk why you keep saying I'm blaming people?? If I blame anyone it's Ata because Ata makes the rules. SMH. And no. I know it's random chance but it seems like you have a very ridiculously small chance of getting anything good. If I spend 100 bucks I should get a few decent items out of 70 boxes. Pimd isn't a slot machine at a casino! it's a damn Google app game. 🙄 a slot machine would pay out better than this game at this rate TBH. And that's absurd in that notion itself. Also I asked how prices affect pimd? And no facts? Heres a fact, prices in real world affect the consumers as well. Not just ata. But its a million dollar company it dont affect them as much as us sweetheart. Embracer Group was founded in 2000, and headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel. Total Embracer Group mobile app revenue in August 2022 was $3m, including $2m for iOS apps and $900k for Android apps. Total mobile app downloads for Embracer Group was 103m, including 18m iOS app downloads and 85m Android app downloads. Embracer Group has a total of 1,619 apps, including 986 iOS apps, and 633 Android apps. Their top grossing app last month was Party in my Dorm and their most downloaded app was Dessert DIY. https://app.sensortower.com/ios/publisher/a-thinking-ape-entertainment-ltd/1142800324 <-source they have other games they make plenty of 💰. So far all you've done is make a bunch of statements and baseless assumptions without any factual information to back it up. I read some older pimd posts back in 2019... and u been a nay saying negative person this whole time that dont really read what people post! which explains a lot tbh so why you here??? Back to the topic though, Ata please add more things to the lower leaderboard tiers t500 & t1500 instead of taking stuff away 🙏 ty.
I can say this not all of us are concerned about the leaderboard I like where I sit on the leaderboard and yes the t100 and t10 deserve the items hell anyone in the t500 deserves it to it requires a lot of patience to get their and either a lot of spending or no life at all
Id say things got removed to lessen the workload. It might shock you...but the team are humans to!! Not just robots. They cant just work endlessly. The entire reason for their strike is coz the work load was to much. Your wants are not as important as peoples needs. Nothing will chsnge that
Nobody "deserves" an advantage in pvp (which should be a skill-based exercise) just for spending money on this app. The items, if viewed merely for their aesthetic value, are innocuous. Sure, they can have it. They can have the nice thing in their showcase or dorm. So make it untradable and super pretty, with no stats, or low stats like the dev items... Good for them, no reason to be mad.
I can agree with you on that just feels like they I can agree with you on that cause we all know ATA only does the leaderboard stuff that way to get people to spend and if they cut it down no one will spend and leaderboard people would have a chance
