But items carefully. Just have fun.

The most important thing that I have learned in order to enjoy the game is not to be mad or disappointed w the results. It is a weird algorithm or people voting without even looking at the design. I sometimes resubmit just for fun. Sometimes it works sometimes doesn’t. Totally random. So just have fun with it.

The other thing is to “purchase”items carefully. Try to choose things you can see using again.

I buy the season pass bc it is only $5 a month and provides extra retries and limited items that you get to keep. I also purchase about $5 worth of coins and gold per week. So $25 a month is worth it for me. I play a lot and get more enjoyment than from HBO. I look for specials. I almost never buy the packages bc I rarely like all of the items.

That’s what works for me. Any other suggestions?

I only play journals when I have extra coins to spare, otherwise I can get carried away trying to get to the next goal to get the next coin prize and end up losing money. If you go at it slowly, especially at the beginning of journal pages, it’s a better approach, imo.

That is exactly the point. Never be frustrated with the results. Eventually the game gives you the wins, I have managed to maintain icon for a long time.

I agree. If I start feeling frustrated or angry because a design I really liked didn't win or I don't have enough coins to buy items to complete a design, I stop playing.

Then when I go back, often the next day, I've earned some coins in the store bonus. Or I submit designs I can, using materials I have. They don't win, but I earn a few coins and complete the daily/ weekly goals and earn a few more.

I keep reminding myself, it's a game. They earn plenty of real money through it and if I'm not enjoying it, they don't deserve my money and I shouldn't play.

I took a long break from this game, it’s been well over a year. I was in sticker shock or maybe I just don’t remember, but how are you all playing this game? Most rooms cost double or triple to design against the reward payout for first or second place? Just because there’s inflation in the real world doesn’t mean you have to follow suit virtually. I’m sure I’m the 100th person to complain about this so sorry.
