DISCLAIMER: I can already tell some people will just spam the comments with "if monster legends do this they'll go bankrupt." No, they won't. Just because we got rid of some, not all, gem payments doesn't mean they'll suddenly fail. If anything, it'll encourage more people with no more to play the game. I see this argument spammed by moderators everywhere and I'm pretty sure their just defending the game because they're a moderator at this point.

I'll list all the problems, then list the solutions (ideas) co-ordinated by number.

1) Early game can be boring:
I'm currently level 69 so this isn't a problem for me at the moment, but when you very first start the game (like on my alt) it takes forever. You barely get any food, you barely get any gold unless you do pandakan farming which, y'know, takes time and overall it gets boring pretty quickly. Breeding and hatching are dull too and let's not forget you only have two workers to do important things.

2) Breeding Chances:
I've heard they updated legendary chances to now be 30%, but even then that's not enough when getting the wrong breed once can halt your progress for a few days. I'm trying to get goldfield since I don't really have a magic legendary right now, and after breeding erpham and drop elemental seven times I still haven't got anything. I've heard some people on my team say it took them twenty tries...

3) Everything at this point is gems:
I don't mind speeding things up costing gems. Nor do I mind monsters costing gems. (80 gems for a rare/uncommon is a rip off though). What I do mind is having the ultra breeding tree, hatchery upgrades, worker hut additions all costing up to hundreds of gems altogether. It gets ridiculous and it makes people who can't afford to get gems (unless they want to wait a hundred years with challenges etc) feel ignored, which is something you shouldn't do to fans.

1) Early game can be boring solution:
Make all the farm foods more useful. Maybe make the rainbow ones 5000 food, not 3000, or cost 55k, not 75k. And for the love of god make blue tailed lizard a bit more useful. Next, buff the gold production of certain uncommon, common and rare monsters. That way, it doesn't take forever to get gold. You could also possibly give us three worker huts at the start, but that might be pushing it.

2) Breeding Chances Solution:
Nerf the epic breeding chances a bit but makes sure they're still higher than legendary. Buff the legendary chances too. Or, although not needed, make it so some recipes always give you legendaries, or at least the standard ones, that way I don't have to waste two weeks getting one damn monster.

3) Everything costs gems solution:
Keep speed up payments, but make the ultra breeding tree buyable with gold. Maybe you could make it 10-50 Million gold, your choice. Also, make worker huts and hatchery upgrades buyable with both gold or gems (kind of like island upgrades).

Thanks for reading, maybe we could get this post seen by social point themselves? That'd be a dream come true, to make a difference.

No defending here but critics on your post sure so I can remove it but I hope you eddit yourself why curse or calling on a deity I see no need for that

@Awex
I certainly think that a lower cost model could be more lucrative, and more entertaining too, since there would be more competition at the high end. However, much of what you point to is achievable through patience. And ultimately, patience means that the reward feels earned - so that players feel more invested in the game, which makes for better player retention.

Ok again not defending but giving my point of view:

1. You say the game gets boring but you made it till level 69 without getting bored, maybe its boring to make an alt account because you did all the work on your main not to long ago? I plaid this game since dec 2014 made an alt now end of 2017 I believe so some 3 years later let me tell you its way more easier to get interesting monsters then it was in the early days also because I know how to play the game its way more easy to know what you have to do to get gold/food more quicker but thats maybe because I play this game longer then you do. Btw my first account never had pandaken farms or Legendary gold farms. My alt has 3 or 4 more because i wanted to know what it was like.

Your solution (hope to see an edit here soon) maybe its time to rebalance the food costs I dont know I have no problems with them but maybe im part if a small group idk. I use the lizard tail quit often now in daily goals and to get rest coins in events so find them useful to me.

2. Breeding chances. Goldfield is one of the oldies so think he is still 10% the new breedables are certainly higher (hope it stays) and yes wish the uped the change for old ones too

Your solution, (hope to see some editing from you again) well sure I would like a 100% recipe, i settle for 25%.

3. Gems vs gold yes I would like that to specially Vault space wich you can obtain when your level 70
   But some of the examples you gave aren't the ones Im worried about as I said the Vault yes please. But never buy UC for gems they are all breedable (someone correct me if im wrong). Never buy Rares for gems all are obtainable either by breeding or by buying cells for gold during cellweek or in an (breeding) event. I can almost say dont buy epics for gems but I bought Kaori myself so as long as she isnt going to be a side breed in events i will not regret buying her.
   Workers 3 are enough you wont be needing more hardly use 1 anymore
   Upgrading hatchery and buying tree wait till discount and yes its a lot of gems but its an investment

Solution, would I have rather had have it for gold? Sure but if SP made it for gold now a lot of longtime players will ask for their gems back. Maybe the same applies to Vault but still would like that

@Marianne-van-Es I can understand where you are coming from. Maybe I'm just used to it being fast because at this point I can get one million gold every one or two hours, but I noticed when starting my alt food was relatively tricky to get. Sure if you put enough time into it you can get enough food, but I think raising the food or lowering prices slightly would make it a little more fast paced, without breaking the game instantly. This would lead to more challenge in the future for people who've managed to get 5000 legendary monsters (exaggeration, I know).

@Awex

...It gets ridiculous and it makes people who can't afford to get gems (unless they want to wait a hundred years with challenges etc) feel ignored, which is something you shouldn't do to fans.

Hundreds of years is an exaggeration. I understand how the game can be boring, but you have to play the game in the way that it is most fun for you. Also it took me less than two years to accumulate all of the buildings, max out all mu habitats and temples, clear all my islands, and effectively run out of space. I am now at the point of putting non-legendaries into the vault, so speeding up the process does not seem to me to be a desireable trait, unless they did things like extend the leveling of habitats and temples.

@Kaiju Exaggeration may not be a clever thing to do on a problem thread, but it's what I do. Sorry for any misconceptions.
