Topic: [77488] Rubies

I do not see the point in having to buy rubies with real money. The game would be so much better if we could buy rubies with game coins instead of buying coins with rubies. Coins are so much easier to get because you can tax the citizens but for non-ruby buyers, such as myself, it takes forever to gain rubies by doing quests and only gaining 15-30 rubies per quest. I understad that by having people buying rubies with real money is where you make your profit and I get that you have ruby great sales but it would be nice if you made a deal for people who can't buy things over the internet. All I am asking is that for the merchants who sit outside of the castle to sell approximetly 250-500 rubies for about 10,000 coins. I know for a fact that i am not the only one in this situation.

in so many ways NO this idea would never fly--search around the forum and you will see how many times this topic and many others have been voted down.

If something it would have to be 100 rubies for 1 million coins I just lol'd at that conversion^ ^. But back on topic, how would you expect GGS employees to put bread on the table? Please explain that to me first.

Well it is an interesting idea, but I don't think this will ever... EVER happen. I wish it would, I have over 1 million coins. But it won't happen, they need profit, and those who buy rubies, do so for an advantage in the game, which is exactly what they get. They buy it, they earn it.

This game run in real world

some 1 need to maintain it < hire server, pay electricity bill, handle complaint from players...>

that "some 1" need real food / need something to survive

that all...require real-world $$$

So this game...some part of it, must need < some 1 > to support it with real-world $$$

rubies in this game, is chosen , to support that part of the game...

I think u can complaint whether rubies is too expensive to buy with real-world $$$

But for those who spend less or ...even do not spend
rubies can still be obtained thro' quest and plunde rbc

So I consider it is fair to buy rubies ...
