Good Job Hay Day Monetization Manager?

Exactly what I wrote in the threads about deco, July update and events. You will always have hoarders that don’t feel happy if something isn’t complete. Same now with the deco collection book. Players will buy diamonds that they can use to get the mystery’s boxes with deco. I guess the games knows what you already have and that the possibility to get what you want is very low, unless you’re willing to create revenue for SC. As long as players are willing to do so this is the next way for SC to make money.

My guess is that the focus will be on more actual farm based related deco once their new golden nugget mine dries up. 😉🤘

I am not sure whether the new collection books is to acknowledge as the "biggest genius scheme". It's smart, yes, but nothing new or special. The intention behind this is that obvious, there is no need for discussing it.

Don't get me wrong, I like it very much that you've addressed this issue, but I don't agree with the TO on Reddit. If you see this you should recognize on the first sight what is behind it. Team HayDay is "playing" with the feelings of the players, addressing their desire for cute deco and to those who are longing for completeness by all means.

It's a clever approach bc many won't or can't resist. Or both. But it's not brilliant or even extraordinary. It's a common approach to get people spending money. However, it's a very personal thing. Either you have the strength to say no for spending money for these collecting events and take the consequences by missing something or you buy the missing items when offered in the shop right away.

What I don't like is playing with the players feelings with the so called "surprise boxes". Yes, I know, you can withstand. I don't want to know how many can't and are wasting their diamonds bc the desired deco won't appear, though. That's something I think is perfid bc the game knows very well what you have and what you are lacking of. It's squeezing money out from gullible players. It's not fair.

I want to make clear that's my personal opinion. As for me I have no difficulties to withstand such temptation since I am aware how this ends.

I agree with you 100 %. I also hope for some free nice deco rewards in the future. 🙂👍🌺

Completely correct. I am also in the situation for lacking space since ages. I got used to it but it means not having much options for new deco to place. So it's sufficient for me to change arrangements from time to time. I do this often since it's one of the things I love.

Additional, as you know....my donkeys need from time to time the possibility to explore a new area. That's something I enjoy so much. 😍

Very "nice" bc totally overpriced. Not gonna happen. Does this surprise me? No, just the opposite. It's typical, the expensive offers as well. I'd have been surprised if they had make it cheaper. 

Or even better, some for free. Later on we will have the global boat event I believe for the tropical 🧺, another long grind………

I was curious about how many exist and began a research. Can't remember how long ago it was. So screenshots were taken of decos from farms or Wiki or YouTube videos and put in a folder which now shows 1062 items. (I admit i counted the stonemason's deco 3 times: pagoda, birdbath and fountain were too different to count them once). If there is one collection i would like to complete is learning the official name for each of them. For the ones i have myself on the farm i keep an alphabetical list and whenever i get a new deco i insert it in its place, making sure i don't count any twice. The list has 645 rows now.

Depends on how often you can buy it. 😉

Looks good, but…aren’t transaction fees more than that? And how many pages would a credit card statement be with these popping up? 😝.

So that’s 49 diamonds down the drain…….

I wish I had read this thread before I wasted my money on Hay Day’s gambling encouragement program. It is a lot of diamonds for a % chance to get your desired item - and you get the same item every try.
Made me remember why I stopped playing last year.
As a result of this money grabbing, gambling activity I will no longer spend real money, not even on farm pass and my monthly entertainment budget will be spent elsewhere.
See how that backfired Supecell.
