    Since you only have a chance to get platinum every 5 days, this is most definitely misleading. Anyone else agree?

    It's free, are you going to sue them for giving something away for free? Lol

    On a serious note, I get what you mean.

    Now that I think of it more, I agree. The wording can confuse some people.
    I remember an ad advertising a .99¢ off coupon... seems they weren't good with math or really thought it was a good deal.

    I have gotten a 3x on Day 5, but never plat on days 1-4. But it could happen. That's how I read it.

    What Yich is trying to point out is that it included platinum in the "every 24 hours" part. It does say BIG but not that platinum is only on Day 5.
    Just a small little inconvenience is all I can say it is for those who pay attention to close detail.

    Actually, the way it is worded it does imply that you have a chance at 30 platinum every 24 hours.

    The question was do you think this is misleading. Not "Should I sue them?" or "Is this misleading title a big deal?".. Lol. It doesn't matter if it's a big deal, if there's any problem with it and it's an easy fix, why doesnt a dev just re-write it real quick?

    I actually was disappointed when I did not get any platinum during the any of the 24 hour periods when this first started.

    When i got my "big prize" at day 5, only gave me 1.25x combo elixir, which was a downer

    The more you praise STS, the better your blessings. I'm having a positive attitude and I've gotten more than 100 platinum and 5 shields

    If practice makes perfect and perfection is impossible, why practice?
    Oh, wait... No need to practice. iHax.
