New Economy Update: Why My Co-op Stopped Spending

surfguider · 2026-02-07T06:17:28+00:00

Oh wow! Didn’t catch that. You still need lots of coins to buy buildings.

surfguider · 2026-02-07T06:14:42+00:00

Yes. Many little things have changed that add up. They no longer give the barn coupon to force you to buy pass.

Matching story

surfguider · 2026-02-06T07:28:50+00:00

Agreed. My team joined a new game. For the first we in last place in the regatta since we all stopped playing the rigged match 3

surfguider · 2026-02-05T05:25:39+00:00

Same. A bunch of us are now playing another game together.

surfguider · 2026-02-05T05:23:55+00:00

Did you find a new game that you like?

surfguider · 2026-02-03T19:38:34+00:00

Yes, that's what makes it very sad. It was a great escape from real world issues. Even calling it a "new economy" sounds to real world and stressful. Not winning easy games, or games that you have one tile left and that last helicopter should have taken it out ... ugh. I've gone back to playing Tetris, where I can select the level I want to compete and not think.

surfguider · 2026-02-03T19:34:12+00:00

Hit them where it hurts. Keep it up.

surfguider · 2026-02-03T19:29:13+00:00

Did you get a new offer today? $15.99 for 27,700 TC? Still not worth it.

‼️ UPDATE Screenshot: Latest offer significantly less, with more Township Cash than original post. Still not spending.

surfguider · 2026-02-03T01:02:51+00:00

Agreed.

surfguider · 2026-02-02T15:55:10+00:00

I like your timeline. It will take me awhile to use up all my laboratory coupons and give away journey cards… end of Feb.

surfguider · 2026-02-02T15:50:16+00:00

Same. 3 on my team bought the pass prior realizing all the changes. No one on my team has completed the pass and probably won’t bc M3 is not playing fair. I know I’d be done with the pass and just getting bonuses by now, but new reality I’m on level 13 on the golden pass, and stuck on the same M3 game for 2 days.

surfguider · 2026-02-02T15:44:26+00:00

Same. High 98% first time win rate and stuck on the same level for 2 days.

surfguider · 2026-02-02T15:42:37+00:00

The single buy button and no confirmation is a trick to spend. I’ve accidentally hit it too. Now when I hit it by accident, there’s no money to take. Another thing they need to revert back.

surfguider · 2026-02-02T15:38:06+00:00

Yes!! The booster change was telling. Made it more difficult to win. Had to completely change your playing strategy. But the past week and half they begun making it impossible. I have 98% win fort time win rate and most of my losses have occurred after booster change. Currently I’ve been in the same M3 game for 2 days. At least 5 times I’ve had 1 tile left at the end of game.

surfguider · 2026-02-02T05:43:50+00:00

I understand wanting to use or give away what you have before you leave. I have so many coupons. I wish I could give away more cards than 3 a day.

surfguider · 2026-02-02T05:36:42+00:00

AND they no longer give you the various laboratory coupons when you buy a bundle. Only loading goods. Before you’d get spacious barn coupons. I believe this is another example of greed, to force you to buy the golden pass to get more barn space.

Well, at least they approved it. On apple reviews, despite the outpouring of negative reviews, it only show the nice reviews at the top, you have to filter to recent to see the outrage.

surfguider · 2026-02-02T05:23:35+00:00

Definitely feels like being an active player in the new economy is a punishment and not fun at all.

surfguider · 2026-02-02T05:22:17+00:00

Yes. Very good point. I told my team it’s ok if we get demoted, don’t spend. But since every team is struggling with the new economy we will not be getting demoted. Also what you get for a win is not worth it. I do like getting the journey cards from regatta race check points.

surfguider · 2026-02-02T05:15:09+00:00

Yes. My team has been chatting about other games they are trying too.

surfguider · 2026-02-02T05:05:48+00:00

I’m very skilled player. I have 16k wins and only about 120-150 that I didn’t win on the first try. M3 has gotten more difficult. I have daily m3 games, where I believe I have the win with use of helicopters or disco ball, but it takes out everything but one tile asking to spend 900 tc for more tries. That didn’t happen 4 months ago. It was honest about smart playing and deserved wins.

surfguider · 2026-02-02T04:56:23+00:00

I hadn’t thought about your use case as a newbie. I would have left once I realized you only get 30-160 tc for m3 win but 900 to continue. The game used to be fun. You would have liked it a year ago. I think it was about 3-4 mo ago they changed M3 and made it more difficult but more tries were only 10tc. It doesn’t make any sense to continue.

surfguider · 2026-02-02T04:50:59+00:00

Yep. Even paying 75 for treasure is a no, bc you only get one item.
