Used the search bar to look up something when I accidentally came across a thread started by a fellow AoA with a respectable argument on opinions about certain changes to the game. Unfortunately it was locked by Justg due to uncivil talk in the thread. BUT his response at the end of the thread made complete and honest sense to why they do what they do since a lot of people think the devs avoid answering things like this.

"Obviously a lot of passion in this thread. I need to remind you to please keep it civil, both to each other and to us. We're busting our tails to make a great game that you can play for free while trying to make a successful business out of it. We've read through everything here, gonna lock it now.

Look, he's right. What's in bold is absolutely 100% correct to why they do what they do to the game. It's a business. They make as much content as they can free but they need money to keep the business alive and also make a living. It might not be the best, ultimate, epic content always with every release but nobody is perfect and not everyone can be pleased. If they were money hungry like a lot of other games don't you think they would charge to download the app + pay to get rid of adverts blocking half your screen + every campaign costing plat to gain access to? The game can be played free from lvl 1-66 and its your choice to buy the extras. They don't shove it down your throat to BUY BUY BUY PLAT with constant in game pop ups and daily reminders. Running 2 games and creating a 3rd is no easy task. Once DL is finished with beta and it's up-and-running smoothly, upkeep will probably be back to normal with great constant updates in all 3 games like everyone wants. So go easy on em will ya? ;)

P.S. please don't turn this thread into something uncivil. Opinions can be voiced of course but just keep rants to a minimum. If you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all :p.

EDIT: BAM! look at this post by samhayne! :D I know it was posted recently in the same section and you already read it but its another great quote by a dev that pretty much answers A LOT of questions going around about new and upcoming content.


Hey gang,

I get a pretty steady stream of questions asking about when the next content and level cap raise will be coming for Pocket Legends and/or Star Legends. It is still a little ways out. We know new content is always enjoyed - especially when it rocks. So, we're taking time to make sure it rocks. We're also taking time to make Dark Legends super awesome. While we talk mad skills sometimes, we're not a 1,000 person company - more like 35. All of us are working hard for your business! Thanks as always for your continued support :)

Great thread.

It's even more difficult for STS because unlike other games houses, they also actively encourage and act on feedback from the community, some of which could be worded better sometimes, but they do listen and balance their business model best they can.

I haven't always agreed with some of the decisions they've made but, to be fair, I'm not the one that has to speak to the bank manager and pay all the staff every week. Running a business is a huge responsibility to your customers but an even larger one to all the staff you employ.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks everyone i'm glad you all agree :]




3.love free contest...
4.free plat by tapjoy

and another thing by what aquilasoul, if you really truly wanted plat for that cool in-game item, there is more than enough ways to get plat for free. They are always hosting contests on forums and if you added together the plat they've given away i'm pretty sure it would be in the high hundreds to the low thousands of dollars. What other game does that?! I can also honestly say that I've, at one point, had 40 plat on my account at once for 5 auction house spaces and I also bought a Halloween pack that gave you all the costumes + that special item for 30 plat in SL, all from free tapjoy offers. Not a single cent spent and it only took 20-30 minutes at most going through them all.



It's even more difficult for STS because unlike other games houses, they also actively encourage and act on feedback from the community, some of which could be worded better sometimes, but they do listen and balance their business model best they can.

yup agreed. The support and feedback I've gotten from the sts company is possibly the best i've seen in a looooong time.

Just keep the other side of the coin in your view, when people voice constructive criticism it's is (or can be) also helpful for the devs to listen to what their customers want. I still love Chick-Fil-A but if they mess something up, I'm gonna let them know and think the devs expect no less from us.

But there's a line between constructive criticism and straight up hateful rants. I'm all for voiced opinions on subjects that need improvement but lately a lot of threads have been bashing sts like they didn't care or anything with the way things were being changed. So I decided to share this with everyone.
