Seriously, 36GP for MAYBE a 3:1 structure? 3:1 is nice and all... But nah, not worth 36GP for a 1 in 3 shot at one. If I were guaranteed a 3:1 for 36GP? I'd probably be alright with it.

If the eggs cost 12GP each (averaging out to, funnily enough, one 3:1 structure every 36GP) then I'd probably buy loads. I'd certainly spend the last of my GP on them.

Lower the price (next year, it's too late for this year as the event has already begun and people will have spent GP), 36GP is ridiculous.

its not that bad, even the fail prize is a 2:1 ap building. I bought 5 this year, didn't get a single 3:1 :( but still wasn't a terrable choice.

The 4.0's from last year cost 32 GP, with the Auric being 3:1 & regular being 2:1.

The 3.0's from 2 years ago cost 28 GP, with the Auric being 3:1 & regular being 2:1.

The 2.0's from 3 years ago cost 24 GP, with the Auric being 3:1 & regular being 2:1.

For the last 3 years you've essentially been paying additional GP for additional mining/research and attack/defense, but not for additional arti.

Food for thought ;)

my bigger complaint is that the metel should be for simply buying the egg instead of explicity the rare one (or buying 3 eggs) more unset with the lack of medal than the lack of gold drop. ALos more GP for crappy stats= unhappyness.

I think buying or the other should trigger the medal. It does make more sense. I would be surprised if there are THAT many people buy extras just for medal purposes. They are either going to buy them or they aren't. The medal is just a bonus.

I would be happy to buy the mark 1's instead, we can buy all the old equipment in other seasons why not this one?(for that matter you could also do that for all the storage/production buildings that are done each holiday)

Personally, I bought 2. I got the auric on my second try. But, I wont be buying another one, its just too costly for a reward of a medal thats not guaranteed, unlike the other events, where if you buy a item, your guaranteed a medal. I know you can get one with the chromatic cannon, but still.

I get the negative aspect, but its not a forced buy. I think Dan is reticent to give something MORE powerful arti wise for a prize you can buy. The added mining, res and att/def are intended as flavor. IT's not horrible. For many the upgraded chromatic cannon could be looked at the same way, but i still think it's cool. Especially if you can do offers and buy them pretty much free and then some, seems overkill to complain that they are offered.

For the record, i bought 4 and got 2 of the 3arti 5k att/def and 2 of the 2 arti, 2k att/def. That was pretty much my ratio last year for same type of purchases.

Last Year I bought 4 (or Maybe 5) didn't get 1 Golden Auric. This year, not bothering.

What surprised me about the lepus eggs was that if you didn't get the medal points from prior years, you can now NEVER get them. Surprising that a medal could actually now become impossible to get.
