i was hoping to get a few troop chests this week with my rubies.
my sour grapes is that i don't have to care about rubies anymore.
a more reasonable analysis is that they want to assert that we should have no expectations about marcopolo,
it's the pick of the game masters based on holistic game needs...
like giving a good deal on something to address the community or offer 'apology' for a problem.
but, the wide variation in quality deals (hundreds of crowns for 1 troop next to the ruby troop chest ....) suggests a dramatic disconnect with what players actually do...
unless the intention is to provoke a fear response "don't click there!"
whatever the reason, it is a downer to not have something with equivalent desirability to the troop chest.
my wife agrees it's probably due to legal problems with "mystery" rewards ... and she thinks they should just remove the random element, which would be fine.
