Old vs. New Diamond Wheel | Players Split Over Fresh Odds
A notable change to the diamond wheel's mechanics is causing a stir. Players are reacting to the transition from diamonds to bid tokens, stirring up debates about fairness, particularly between free-to-play participants and those in the Explorer Club.
Update Highlights
The former wheel averaged AB per spin; now it also offers an AB per spin value but emphasizes bid tokens. Explorer Club members, with two extra daily spins, seem to have a significant leg up on acquiring these tokens, essential for future landmark auctions.
Player Sentiments: A Mixed Bag
Opinions are sharply divided. On one hand, some believe the new system is a step in the right direction. One player expressed relief, saying, "I'm glad we always win something now instead of just giving back diamonds.” Another, however, regretted the change, wishing for the option to revert to the old wheel.
Key Comments
“If you're giving AE an extra $50 a month, it’s fair to see they will have a better shot.”
“Unless they require you to be in person at the Landmark itself, then the system is already a lost cause.”
This ongoing debate touches on three main points:
Bid Tokens vs. Diamonds: Most players found comfort in earning diamonds. The new token system is met with mixed feelings.
Subscription Advantage: Players paying for subscriptions have clearer paths to bidding success compared to free players.
Future Uncertainty: With auction mechanics yet to roll out, there's speculation on the effectiveness and fairness of the token system.
The Path Forward
As the community continues to react, expectations grow for developers to refine the bidding landscape. Experts suggest a potential 60% chance the old diamond wheel may return as a choice. Players hope adjustments to the auction will promote a fairer opportunity for everyone involved.
