A monthly, or bi-weekly 'Golden' Monster (maybe just an Epic), available for a lot of gold, rather than gems? This would give newer players, and free to play players, a chance to increase their Monstagram.

How much gold would be considered ideal to purchase a good monster yet at the same time not price new players out of the market?

Great idea !!!

@Dawood-H.-Dawood It could be like a Premier Monster, but worded differently, such as Golden Monster.

Not all monsters are worth gems anyway (ahem, Avaritia), so it would give free to play players more excitement when something comes up on offer.

@Clackers I think if you had suggested maybe a greater variety of monsters being offered for gold, like maybe a second more often than just what is it lab week, when we occasionally get a second monster for gold? I think an epic would be nice, I think it is QUITE unlikely.

As much as we would like it, being able to buy Epics and Legendaries with gold doesn't help them put food on their table. Developers need to eat, and bologna won't cut it. :D))
