They change up the token offers a little every event. While exact offers differ, there is the general trend of them getting cheaper as the event goes on. Lately they have made this trend more extreme, with early event offers being rather bad and end of event offers being amazing. If you plan to spend, wait until the end, your patience will be rewarded! How much was it for you in the last week of the last event? Mine actually went up. On week 3 the the gold coins were $5 for 1400 coins. On the last week, week 4, it was $20 for 2400 coins. By then I already got all I needed though. There were three super notable offers for me: - 5000 bronze tokens for $12 - 4000 silver tokens for $10 - 2000 gold tokens for $15 The actual offers may have been a little different from this (just going off of memory), but that is the idea. They all could be bought six times per day, so they were great for small and large purchases. There were occasionally better offers (particularly for the silver chest), but these were the most consistent and they still were pretty good.

Mine are usually limited to 2 buys. But generally a good deal. Well the ball is in their court. I’m in no rush even for the Luchador since I don’t have much platinum to level it up decently. They’ll have to try harder to entice me. PS. Thanks for that info! It puts things into perspective.

Bumping an old thread to say - After taking a 6-ish month break, I came back to some hella good offers.
One that caught my eye was wasp drone for $5
I didn't buy it, but I did buy a couple $6.99 offers for 20k gold (pretty crazy good offers)
After doing this, wasp came back for $10.
Something interesting to consider: I bought a three $6.99 20k gold offers. On the fourth day, it went up to $7.99 I skipped it. Fifth day, back to $6.99. Skipped, stayed this way for a couple days, then I finally bought my fourth (and currently final) $6.99 offer, two days ago, and yesterday, it came back for $5.99. Today, it is again $5.99. Interestingly, it seems to have gotten CHEAPER after I bought. I predict that this is them trying to be like "Yo ada, you're missing out if you were willing to buy the $1 more expensive one but not this one!
A very slick system, yet my wallet remains closed. Stay informed friends.

I predict that this is them trying to be like "Yo ada, you're missing out if you were willing to buy the $1 more expensive one but not this one! A very slick system, yet my wallet remains closed. Stay informed friends. The up and down is a behavioral tool. Like when training an animal, you don’t give the treat every time. A more random distribution of reward sets behavior patterns much more firmly. The up and down of the offers has the effect of putting spenders into a panic that they better buy before it goes up further. I have done similar analysis between my kids accounts and mine. My daughter rarely plays, but we did spend to build her one viable hanger. Since that, I rarely spend on her account, and her deals are always bananas. And seeing the differential has actually helped me control my spending because you have objective evidence that there are good deals to be had if you are willing to feast and famine your spending approach. They mix in the upgrade “sales” to further complicate the behavioral algorithm for us - “I need to buy more sliver/gold/Pt now because the 40% bot sale is on, or the 25% Titan sale is on”. News flash - all part of the Pix game on your wallet. The patient among us can definitely maximize value by using feast famine spending and only upgrading during the max % off sales (40% bot, 25% Titan). Throw in the frustration of MatchMaker that can cause irrational behavior via clouded thinking, and there is a significant deck stacked against responsible spending behaviors. Thanks for rebooting this thread - any newer folks will do well to heed this advice!

Ive been thinking more on this and tbh wondering if its legal...lol.specifically diff prices for same item. I really don't want to read google plays vendor agreement again...(probably gonna have to... my spidey senses are tingling) and secondly most stuff in the digital sector is unregulated and very grey. In any case it bears consideration. Know thine enemy. I wont share here how muchy $ but with some math there is likely thresholds or % that triggers the behavior. Being an established game perhaps I'm just restating a similar convo.... im only gonna read back so far...lol And as shawngonakillyou said it is likely evolving....learning if u will.

That's the game within the game. They still get me in the end as one upgrade from level 10 starts to take one week to finish so I will watch their 「dookie」ty ads to speed them up. If I time it right, I can get 2 upgrades done before the overdrive rolls around again and have the opportunity to save more silver to finance the next round. Still as matchmaker pits you against all those cool kids with the latest stuff at MK3, the frustration/temptation cycle is there.
