I spent money when I began to play SN on packs with chest in them and not straight out Rubies purchases also. I'm not trying to encourage people to not spend money on SN because if no one did that then there would not be so many updates, changes, contest and improvement to the game. What I do frown upon however is the predatory practices that take place universally in most of the digital games that are available for play, like the nickel and diming tactics that this offer is a clear representation of as well as the raising of prices (that you mentioned in your response) if players begin to invest.

I don't mind giving back when I am pleased with something. That's why I made the purchases earlier in my enjoyment of SN (about $32 worth if I remember correctly) what I do not enjoy is feeling like I am being taken advantage of like:

-getting so many subsequential offers like this

-not being aware of how frequent contest with similar prizes are held

-the sheer frequency of all the offers in general

-the price increase that takes place when you do decide to invest

-being subjected to so many one time deals that make you feel that you will really regret it if you don't purchase them (because as a new player folks really don't know what they can and can not live without)

-the volume of offers that would require multiple purchases in order to be effective that look like single time purchases

Those are my reasons for creating this buyer beware thread.
