Do you buy items in mobile games?

[thart]

So you used a trick to buy paid items without paying them?

Yes, i used that sometimes. It's only an app who offer those tricks.

 

[yoyoalben0]

Yes i do. Remember Clash of Clans? Spent tons of $$$ for the game. everyone was crazy over it, most of the people i know just grinds. i realize buying from a game makes you stronger fast. unless the mobile game is a moba. well, skins still looks awesome, but Buying for a Pay 2 win mobile games always make you a top notch in terms of battling.

I am not doing this very often, in fact only two, three times maybe. I have bought some items and energy in a mobile game. It was fun to play and I just needed a few shots to win the level....I had to but some items and energy. I can't believe I have done something like this because I'm not that kind of person.

About Mobile Legends, has anyone encountered here about the lag problem? I know its not on my internet speed because I got a stable and fast one though there are times that my hero just pauses in the middle of the game. I think they need to add more servers and lower the graphic types. Lag is commonly a problem in my country.

It is not actually a trick. There are several applications on Google Play that gives you prizes and can be used to buy items. There are a few applications that lets you view videos, do several tasks and you'll be rewarded.

I got this.
I am just curious what is reward? it is money or any things that can exchange or buy stuffs from any games?

I waste so much money on unnecessary things in mobile games! It's fun, though, so I guess I shouldn't be hard on myself about it. Plus, mobile games don't usually ask for a ton of money when it comes to virtual currency or expansion packs. I think the most I've ever spent at one time on a mobile game was $5, and that was more than enough.

If you're kinda addicted to mobile games like me, though, all those microtransactions add up. So, you've definitely got to be wary about how much you're spending.

Nope. I'm very strict when it comes to money management, and I've learned to refrain from impulsive and unnecessary purchases. Every time the idea crosses my mind, I put off the purchase for a day or two: most times I just either lose interest or realize how dumb of a choice that would have been. It works wonders for all kinds of purchases made from mobile (everything seems more appealing when it's just a few taps away, right?).

It depends on the application. Few years ago, I've been using applications that pays you real money. There are several applications out there that pays you Paypal Credit. It will be transferred to your Paypal Account once you reach a minimum threshold.

There are a few apps that pays you and you can use that to buy items or anything in the real world. I use to view ads, play videos before and get paid. One thing I recommend is slicethepie, its an app that pays you when you review music. I don't know the rate because I left around a year ago. You can use it to buy items on any game you want. There are also apps that gives you amazon gift cards.

I like mobile games wherein you can play multiple times to save up coins to buy an item but there are those games that make it seem impossible to buy upgrades and they will require you to buy using real money. It would be fine but if it seems like the game is pay-to-win, there is point in playing games like that, especially in Mobile Legends where exclusive cosmetic items have addition attributes. It's just unfair and I do not support it.

Lot of times the in app purchase items are expensive. And they add no value to the buyers. So unless the game is really good. I'd rather buy entire the game. I have no money for buying 99 cents for each level. I think that is another reason I'd say some games are better worth on face instead of in app purchase items.

If I really enjoy a mobile game I might spend a few dollars on in-app purchases, but for the most part I just play for free. I don't mind spending money on a full game, but I really hate the way most mobile games do it. I don't want to spend money on a few gems or coins or energy or whatever, because the purchases don't usually get you very far into the game and then you're already needing to buy more. I'd rather spend $10 or so on a full game that doesn't require any additional purchases. A lot of the games feel very manipulative in how they encourage you to spend money, and that makes me not want to play the game at all.

Same with me. If I like any game then I support the developer by buying the game. And otherwise I'd say it can be good enough game on many counts. I don't think there is much value out of it though. Because lot of freeware games are destroying the market. And due to adblockers those freeware games are not sustaining either.

 

[Yiskah]

Shamefully, yes I have. I have been playing Best Fiends and Jurassic world for years and I have from time to time spent money on the apps despite how I hate myself for doing so. If I were to ever go back and total it all up I now I would be so ashamed and sickened at the complete was of money as it usually was out of simply being inpatient.

 

[luispas]

No, I always thought that it was a waste of money, I know myself and I know that if I do something like that I would lose everything I buy just because I would easily leave the game to start playing another. So it's better for me to don't buy anything. Besides, I hate the "pay to win" games, you cannot make efforts by yourself, you just buy everything, and that's a shame.

It is indeed unfair for us, non buyers, though for people who have money to buy those, then its their advantage. Playing with them irritates me sometimes because we can fight players with low level yet with strong troops. And for MOBA games, yes there is no big advantage of those buyers over us but the only thing they could have is access to new skins and access to limited edition heroes though we know skins gives a +10 damage to the hero wearing it

I had never bought any apps games online. The most I would delete the games and reinstall them, re play the whole games again.
You have to be careful when you play app games that allows to pay online. These games will deduct your phone money balance without you notice the changes.

 

[Pixie06]

For games that play on other platforms I do buy the advanced features at times. However when it comes to mobile games I don't usually buy it. I am not that addicted or keen in playing mobile games. I play those games only when I am traveling and as such I play those games only for short time periods.

That's the thing, and I hate it too, it feels so unfair and obviously one can lose the joy to play the game. I only use money on a MOBA, which is League of Legends, and just to buy skins because it's the only way to do it. I feel that it's an investment and besides I don't have any advantage than having a pretty appearance

Hallo I did that once, I was trying a cassino mobile game and thenthen all people on the table were having drinks either coffee or tequila... it felt real then I got myself a cigarette and it was kinda cool that I wanted to continue get some more but then I was not good at cassino was loosing lol and for fear to loose all my money I stopped since then.

 

[Sino989]

Lol I have never bought anything from a mobile game. I have never even bought a mobile game because to me they are just a waste of money because a lot of the mobile games these are just not good and even if they are you get bored of them a week later, so to me it's pointless to spend money on apps.
