Mega Snack Pack, It's time to lower the price

Seriously at 2500 crowns I don't even consider buying them. I would much rather grind on the 4 boring games we have then to spend THAT much on Mega Snack packs.

I mean sure SOME people buy them, but hey lets look at this from a marketing point of view. Your are selling more of those RiG (Random Item Generator) packs for 399 then you are for 2500 on the mega snack packs.

Your 4 games are VERY boring. I have been playing them for nearly 2 years to level up my pets. If you made the price affordable (399 like the rest of your packs), I would buy a TON as would alot of other hatchers who I'm sure don't buy it on shock value alone. ($5 a pack? O_O)

Or if your going to keep it that price then at least offer me more snacks. I can't even get a pet from teen to adult with ONE pack.

Oh and please add more games and ways to level up our pets!

Thank you!

Since that was the price of Mega Snack packs for years, I assume that enough people must be buying them for KI to actually keep them as they are.

I think I will agree, though. If those mega snack packs were worth only 399, or maybe just 1,000, they would sell faster than hot cakes, probably making KI more money, which they want.

Then again, pets would be trained a lot faster ... and players would stop spending crowns a lot sooner. So... I think thats why they keep it as it is.

If you want the most crown efficient way to get mega snacks you should garden them.

I have 12 Couch Potatoes in one garden, and 25 Evil Magma Peas in a second garden.

For about 50,000 crowns you can enjoy an endless supply of mega snacks for the rest of your time in The Spiral. You'll have so many mega snacks that you will never feed your pets anything less than a Level 8 snack!

I am a daily hatcher. All I do is farm and hatch twice a day. So I never can level up fast enough. I think the 2500 price was made back in the day when people only leveled ONE pet to get it to epic.

Now with all the pets and spells, it really needs a price change for all the people that enjoy hatching every day.

Actually, they have made ways for people to train pets.

Evil Magma Peas are the best plant for mega snacks. You get 37 of these and you will never go wrong.

For those that don't spend crowns, keep planting Prickly Cactus Bears.

Especially with the talents that are in crown and pack bought pets. All pets really. Who wants to drop all those crowns on snack packs to keep leveling pets that open selfish or mana or health talents on a level 60 plus pet that cost around 15k crowns or a 40.00 pack. Maybe if the talents were all good no selfish etc then I could see paying that for packs but the way it is now NO....

Another thing I don't agree with is the moving pets from bank taking all your energy. I always feel like I'm being cheated when I transfer over a pet. Because if you are switching to level it then they just got you to buy energy elixir or wait for hours.

You know, if you dont wanna buy mega snack packs you could just garden them with prickly bears. I have 40 prickly bears and get 1-4 mega snavks a day. The trick is the plant them at different times, cause you wont have enough energy to garden them all at once.

But, i still think mega snack packs should be like 2000 crowns.

500 Crowns seems like a reasonable price for mega snacks that give you a CHANCE of a good talent. If they cost 500 crowns, I am almost certain KI would get more profit out of them as well!

Most undoubtedly, the reason for energy dumps withdrawing pets from banks is to prevent 'chain training.' KI wants people to spend crowns if people are out of energy, or wait a full day.

6x80. That is a maximum of 480 energy that people could spend training a single pet, if people were able to do so.

the cost of energy the cost of actually feeding snacks cost energy playing games cost energy. So I doubt they will lose much no taking energy when you transfer pets.. Especially when most pets you level are duds....,..

Thanks for thoughts on this; i agree, price is too high. Please please lower, at least to $1500. It would increase sales and make pets more FUN!

People want there cake and eat it too . The price is fine. Wow leave the game the way it is. Try doing WW and ML more for Mega Pet Snacks if you need them that bad. You all are not thinking about what all comes in the pack you get a lot of them for 2500 I think that is cheap as it is.

Evil Magma peas and you will be stuffed to the gills with Mega snacks.
As a bonus, you also get pierce, cleanse charm, and feint TCs.
