It seems a lot of players want to buy gems or have at least consider it.... BUT we look and realize that it just isnt worth it. I have bought gems before but VERY rarely do. A lot more players would buy (some players, more frequently) IF gems were half the price. Not 20%-50% depending how much we spend. Its a big turn off. It is really causing a revenue loss for the game. A lot more money would be spent on "a deal you cant pass up". This has been topic of discussion on in-game chat on several occasions; and i am wondering, who else agrees and would spend the money if it wasn't so highly priced? I would. I love this game... but throw us a bone!

I agree, on android the prices are just way too high (I mean it). That's why I always purchase gems on facebook (plus Google Play does not let me purchase anything ... )

Switch to IOS, we have a sale almost daily.

@Bruce-Hamilton I think what she’s saying is the sale prices aren’t that good.
Like who wants to spend $30 for 800 gems when it last you about 10 min during this vip event where you spend gems at 50 a worthless epic pace

Each time you level up there is an offer. If you don't want to spend much, just wait for those offers. They aren't always a gems offer but when they are, they are a pretty good deal.

Actually in business sometimes a business makes more selling a whole lot of little items for a lower price vs a higher priced item at the higher price. I agree that if the $50 package for 1700 gems was the normal price and they had a sale on it for half that price on a regular basis I may buy it more often which in the long run would generate more money for SP. Lot of little packages = more revenue then big packages being sold at a higher price. Same goes for monster pricing.

@Bruce-Hamilton said in Gems are expensive. Most would buy at half the price:

...but iTunes prices are significantly higher than Play Store anyway.

Last time I checked, it was Play Store that was higher.

Well, I can only go by my currency. In Australia, for 1700 gems during 50% discount:
Play Store $64.99
iTunes $79.99

Perhaps those from other countries could provide more comparison.

@C0ntr1v3d in America is 49.99 for 1700 gems, 29.99 for 800, 19.99 for 465, 14.99 for 300
For ITunes.
But Trump makes great deals for us here,

Same price

let them keep messing this game up like they did with backgammon lat i saw coins were going 99 cent for 34k and dragon city lat i saw was 99 cents for 150 gems just give it time the purple hill gang can not learn from there mistakes

@C0ntr1v3d there was a discussion on FB about this some time ago and it seems that the US is the only country where there is no difference in price between Play Store and iTunes. The principle of i pay more applies to all other countries!

@David-ML not only that, but the US are charged less than the uk, going by currency exchange rates. Uk is 49.99 for 1700 equivalent to 70 us dollars, us 49.99 is equivalent to 35 British pounds.

i so agree and for us online users we don't have the luxury of freebie island but mobile users do i find that unfair we need to buy or work hard in league battles to earn our gems and for what they get an island that they can use when ever they want we don't in conclusion not fair.

@minecraft-master-221 um i don't know if we where talking about dragon city or not if not then is embarrassing
