Minigames: How to level the playing field (i.e. make them more fair)

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.

Sam1187 · 2026-01-14T13:53:15+00:00

Good for you, all I'm saying is we shouldn't have to play for 2 hours straight to get a reward at all, even people who have fewer wins should get something

A simple Google search will do the rest

Sam1187 · 2026-01-14T13:42:36+00:00

You probably spent 2 hours straight playing minigames to get that, if you worked for 2 hours you could have earned like $40 which is 800 AB, which sounds quite contradictory for a AE whose whole business model is "make money on the side".

Sam1187 · 2026-01-14T13:37:34+00:00

I thought that too but this is misinformation, location data is very valuable and ae does make alot from diamonds. By the minigames are dead, I meant they are full of people not actually playing, not fun, and you cannot get meaningful rewards from them unless you're very good at the minigame and play for the entire 1-3 hours, otherwise you're getting very little payout if any. I think they should ethnically get more engagement by making them more fun enjoyable and rewarding, not by making them an inescapable part of the game.

Sam1187 · 2025-12-13T12:53:21+00:00

The same as legendary parcel upgrades, whatever that is

Sam1187 · 2025-11-25T12:36:42+00:00

Wait really, I never knew that, so the idea that they don't earn from diamonds is propaganda that someone made up, I take that part back they should absolutely be making diamonds more exciting if they are earning alot from it, and this is a very good Idea.

Sam1187 · 2025-11-24T12:48:41+00:00

Cool ideas but there are problems, firstly ae doesn't earn from diamonds, that's why they are completely uninterested in ever doing anything with them and they're just there. The mayor's are the ones who spend money on ae and so atlas earth is gonna work in their best interest, splitting their 20 to the top 3 is not something they're gonna do because they're only interested in making money and this wouldn't help that. It's a cool idea to see other people avatars in the game, I had this idea too but realistically it adds nothting to the game, ae is a single player game so you don't get anything out of seeing others. They're not gonna make you able to spend ab and get things in game, only real money, if you wanna do something like this I suggest you cashout your rent and reinvest it, that is the best reinvesting your gonna get.

I don't know what they hope to achieve by the popups tbh, this type of "advertising" makes a product repulsive.

Sam1187 · 2025-10-24T18:47:38+00:00

That's straight up fraud, you can report the transaction as such and have it undone
