Drop in prices :(

Wow, they completely changed the game. Its a different game now, with different numbers, different profit and different strategy. If they wanted to do this, why didn't they just make a whole new game rather than ruin a popular one.
I've been actively playing BS for a year, and now the game has changed and it isn't fun.

But I don't understand the OP: how does this 'balance'? You said these changes made it 'balance'. I had 500k plates of hot apple cider, worth $5mil coins. Now its worth $2mil. What r u talking about 'balance'? U mean now my all strategy has been removed from the game and we are all equally upset about it? Your customer
base has been 'balanced'.....rather than have some happy and some unhappy customers, now you have 'balanced' it, and we r all equally upset.

Why didn't u just make a whole new game and leave this one alone? U wanted to balance out the fun games and not fun games: Rather than remove the unfun games, u destroyed the fun ones. It's definately balanced now.
I'm not playing anymore.

Yes, it feels very odd! Any of my neighbours visiting me will think I have stopped playing as my counters are empty most of the time. I haven't stopped playing, I just can't keep up with the rate the food is being sold!

I finally clicked the button on the pop up "Rate Now"

....can you guess what I rated it and why.

I'm telling you that this all comes from a brainwashing socialist mindset. Listen to what GroupMagma posted. "in the end this will be more fair..." it's the all the things are equal. Wealth inequality. I've never been to a bakery or restaurant that everything cost the same. That's what made these games neat, things were different. Different time and costs and rewards. Why would they even think of this. No reason. One reason GroupMagma said was because people wanted to "reset"....really? That's actually kind of silly. Because why not just let them reset up to a certain level. Say level 15 or something. Don't mess with everybody else for just a few.

But then, I've never been to a shop where I've had to wait 12 hours for my cappucino to be made!!

I do agree with your point, though!

I really, really wish TL would read what you wrote.
We want a fun game and most of us buy gems to support this game. When we are happy with the game we buy more gems. TL wants us to buy gems. This could be a win-win, but It's all up to TL.

EXACTLY!also,I cannot seem to find a balance between the hard earned coins and the design items.why do they not get cheaper as well?now you really get less for more..btw the last 3 days of not playing the game kinda freed me I'll let everyone eat up,and then I'm done with it.good luck to all the newbies,hopefully they'll have more patience and money for TL

[briguynv]

Wow... amazed... I couldn't figure out why things seemed so different... and why my figures weren't adding up! Now I see why!

Between this, and TeamLava STEALING 72 gems from me totally against my will, not even due to accidental tapping, they were just STOLEN... so I'm done! These games are NO longer fun, they are exasperating! But I plan to spend some time going everywhere I can, to every site I can find, trying to warn people off these games... or at least not to spend money with them!

Whoever is making these ridiculous decisions... and whoever decided it was OKAY to STEAL from all of your players... those people should be FIRED!!

The less coins we make, the more time-consuming it is to get things we want.
The more time-consuming it is to get things we want, the more we'll be tempted to buy gems.

This is their thinking. I consider myself to always approach any company with a healthy dose of cynicism and skepticism, and I never had any delusions that TL was about making money. Duh. They're a company; that's sort of the point. But I'd be SOOOOO much more willing to spend real-life money buying gems if I trusted them and thought they wanted to please customers. Now I see them as an all too common fly-by-night app developer. I almost bought gems a few times when they were on sale. I made myself wait, promising myself that I'd buy a gem package at a later time as a "reward" for leveling up in the game.

So, in a way, I'd like to thank Team Lava, for giving me back time I wasted making fake food for fake people in a fake bakery, and for saving me the *real* money I would have spent had you not completely soured my experience. It doesn't even matter if they change things back at this point - they've shown that they'll pretty much try whatever they can to screw people over, and they'll just reverse it if it pisses too many people off. Unfortunately these are not one-time mistakes, but growing mountains of evidence that this is just a really sleazy company.
