One thing I don't get

I think a lot of us long time players don't look at prices or payouts but it must be tough to be newer in the game theses days.

My experience has been they mix them up. Releasing nothing but buildings with 12-hour and 24-hour timers is boring and repetitive, and doesn't appeal to the players who check in constantly. So they release buildings with all sorts of different timers to try to appeal to everyone.

Ya but in my opinion the buildings that have low payouts should be event buildings while level buildings that cost about $1,000,000 each should have higher payouts.

Well I have been here for over a year so I am not exactly "new" I was able to buy this building and still have $1,000,000 left over. But I have not bought a single aspirational, I still need to buy a lot more land, and I still need to save up for the next level update so ya some higher payouts would be nice.

I think they want to make payout multipliers attractive, so keep the payouts really low. :?

Well in all actuality a building that pays out every hour earns way more than one that pays out every 24 hours....if you collect from it often enough. I realize that's a huge pain in the poop chute but I assume that's the thinking behind making a million dollar building pay out every hour.


That or there's a dart board involved.

Again I feel ya, I started over three years ago. It was much easier back then to earn money and buildings were much cheaper. We had less to do back then, including less events so all we did was stash cash. Good Luck to you catching up, you will eventually get there. My first year or so I ran everyone on one hour tasks and logged in every hour. You make more money that way.

On the other hand I've found it humorous when a long time player will post they're not going to buy some new deco because it, "doesn't even come with a multiplier". At the point we're at, should that even matter to you? :D
If I'm making a million every 3 days without even trying I'm going to buy that item because I like it.

What a million dollar building can't do, a couple hundred blue houses can. :mrgreen:
