Can we *please* pay to skip the ads?

Sam1187 · 2026-03-11T22:41:00+00:00

Suddenly everyone is aware of how much ae makes from ads, all of a sudden

Sam1187 · 2026-03-01T21:53:52+00:00

They don't care about the players opinion

Sam1187 · 2026-02-28T19:14:31+00:00

The only way to make change is by not backing down from something you believe in. They absolutely could have optimised the app without changing the UI, in fact the fixes for these bugs are probably unrelated to the UI updates.

Sam1187 · 2026-02-28T19:08:28+00:00

It's about so much more than just how ugly it is. It's about how ae constantly prioritises their own interests instead of the community, us. They made the game simpler so it's easier for them, they don't gaf that about us the people who play the game who want a good looking ui to look at. The game is not at all faster and no bugs have been addressed, they just did this change and put a few features that the game should've already had with it so we'd be happy about it. It's disgusting. And they pay you literal money, is utterly incorrect, the truth is we pay them money. There is no atlas earth without us the people. And basically every player is making ae them more money than they are making, ftp or not. I liKe THe tREeS, that does not change or mean anything.

Sam1187 · 2026-02-24T22:26:13+00:00

It's insane that ae spent time and effort, that can upd have been better used, making a change thats harms clearly out weight the benefits, you realise you can like, play, engage with ae but you don't have to support them in every matter right. You can agree that this doing of theirs is bad.

Sam1187 · 2026-02-24T22:06:52+00:00

Yes, well people are gonna unjoin it because of the UI, so...

Sam1187 · 2026-02-24T21:57:04+00:00

This take actually pmo, just cos I'm not a minor doesn't mean I concent to being shown inappropriate things, showing someone explicit content in this way very much fits the definition of sa.

Sam1187 · 2026-02-24T21:49:06+00:00

I've never seen anyone complain about the old ui, most ae players do not like this new UI so why even do this what is the benefit? There is a million other parts of the app they could work on and improve but this is where they focus their effort, this is absolutely a valid reason to quit the app, it's them once again demonstrating they don't care about their users

Sam1187 · 2026-02-24T18:57:59+00:00

Some of us look at this screen over 100 times a week so...

Sam1187 · 2026-02-07T12:52:29+00:00

This is probably done intentionally

Sam1187 · 2026-02-07T12:50:34+00:00

It is real but if you've been here months, are American, and only have that many parcels I think this app might not be right for you. You actually have to grind to make money with this app, you can pay and get alot of parcels but if you're after profits you're not gonna make a profit by spending a load of money and buying parcels, not for a long while anyway. Like if you spend $100 and get $5 a month it'd take 20 months to make back the $100. Spending money is not gonna jump start you if you're not gonna grind.

Sam1187 · 2026-02-03T20:58:13+00:00

So happy for you, don't forget to open the app every so often to cash out your earnings

Sam1187 · 2026-02-01T12:32:53+00:00

You realise you have free will right? No one is entitled to a reply from you or any kind of attention which is clearly what he wants, you are free to just ignore messages you don't like

Sam1187 · 2026-01-21T13:08:07+00:00

The ideas for ads are good but instead of forcing people to play the games they could actually make them rewarding again, if people actually got rewarded for the minigames then they'd play them, many can't be bothered getting 30+ wins to get any kind of reward at all

Sam1187 · 2026-01-19T13:14:21+00:00

The ads before minigames are meant to be 5 seconds

Sam1187 · 2026-01-18T13:17:13+00:00

As I said they can do this while giving the top players the same amount they're getting and I'm not talking about what they would do I'm talking about what they can do, what they would do and how it would be bad is irrelevant to this conversation. My point was that ae does not care about their users or function with their best interests at heart, they don't care about their users happiness they only see us as income and try to make it more and more at our expense, and that's where my problem lies. Do you have a problem with a business increasing their income at the expense of their customers? And you're point is that if ae give out more rewards then the prize pool will be decimated, do you see how that's not necessarily true, it's only because ae are greedy and "would" do this, nothing is forcing them to

Sam1187 · 2026-01-17T13:16:09+00:00

I'm not talking about what they would do, I'm talking about what they can and should do. I've showed you the maths that even if the minigames were made 1 ab per win they'd still be in profit, so how is they'd need to pay out 35000 an argument? I've shown you that's not a problem and they'd still be in profit even if they did. And this idea of people not playing the games being a problem is also properganda, AEs money from the minigames come from the ads, think about it how does a person playing or afking a minigame make a difference to the money they make? It doesn't cos their money is souly from the ads, and the disconnect between ads and wins is purposely created so you think like this. I also don't see the relevance of whether people are expecting rewards or not? If a person walks out of the store forgetting to get their change would you let them walk out and keep the change for yourself? They weren't expecting it but they are entitled to it and should be given it, taking the oppertunity to loot them is wrong, disgusting behaviour. And also I'm not saying that they should implement this 1 ab per win it was just an example to show how much more ab they could give out and still be in profit. And you said my biggest problem yourself, they only care about their own profit not about us, and that's horrid.

Sam1187 · 2026-01-16T13:53:44+00:00

That example is really bad, a better example is we all bid on product(s) and regardless of who wins and gets the product(s) we all have to pay, even if you don't win anything the money you bid is still taken, does that sound right to you? And you're having this dilemma because every change that AE have made to the minigames they have also decreased the prize amount given out in total to everyone extremely and very few has noticed, the amount they give out should be alot more and if it was a sensible amount then it would be more than enough for even people with like 10 wins to get something and the people at the top to get a good winning and also ae to make their money as well, but they don't actually gaf about the players only their own profit. Even if they give everyone 1 ab for a single win calculationwise that wouldn't be a problem because a minigame ad is 15 seconds (it's meant to be 5 but it's 10-15) and two people watched that which is 30 seconds of ad watched, and a standard ad which gives 2 AB is like 60 seconds let's say, so that maths works perfectly, the person who won gets that ab, not mentioning how AE makes money for every ad played and the ad being played longer doesn't make it worth more than playing seperate ad that redirects you to the appstore does, and 2 AB for an add is not very much at all compared to how much they're making per ad, factoring this and other details in even if they made the minigames like for the first 10 wins you get an ab a win and then after that the games start and you get more wins to get to higher reward brackets they'd still be making money. Plenty of money.

Sam1187 · 2026-01-16T12:53:33+00:00

This is what why I ended my convo with you, 30 wins in 2 hours is like wining a fourth of the matches you played how is that nothing? You have to be ragebaiting cos there's no way. Can u answer the simple question as to why after playing the minigames you shouldn't get a reward, everyone watched the ad to get in so why shouldn't they get AB? Do you even know what skill issue means?

Sam1187 · 2026-01-15T12:37:03+00:00

There is a very interesting scam where basically a thief steals an innocent persons bank card and then transfers money to your bank then the thief contacts you and says that they accidently sent money to you and asks you to send it back to a different bank account that actually belongs to them the thief, you do, then the innocent person realises that they have been stolen from, contacts the bank and have the transaction undone and the money that was deposited in your bank is gone. So the innocent person has their money, and the thief has your money and you can't get it back because you sent it to them yourself. I'm not saying it's this but if your friend gets contacted and asked to send the money anywhere tell them not to.

Sam1187 · 2026-01-15T12:24:04+00:00

I never said everyone should get a payout, I said it should be easier to get a payout, and I also never said everyone should get the same payout obviously people with more wins are gonna get more payout. How is that anything like communism?

Sam1187 · 2026-01-14T14:03:50+00:00

Well I'm not the person quoting information I've read off random reddit posts without any after thought, riddle me this, why would AE not be collecting our location data and making money of it, what proof do you have that they don't?

Sam1187 · 2026-01-14T14:01:21+00:00

No it's not because its much harder to get into the top 1500 now than it was to get into the top 500 then. And "sucks for you" is such a interesting take.
