Negotiation package sale

Negotiation packages for sale today..
13$ for 80 goods
130$ for 1850 goods

is anyone actually going to buy this? I bet it cost them more $ in labour to think this up, make graphics for the packages and queue it up, than they're going to make on sales. It's absolutely ridiculous how out of touch the people making this game are.

For 13$ we can get maybe 4 or 5 negotiations at 0-10 attrition,
For 130$ we can get maybe 4 or 5 negotiations at 50 attrition..
where practically anyone can just fight those attrition rates

or hear me out, you could .. At the worst rates possible of 1 good per fp for the top age.. Just pay 1850 fp, which most people in titan can make in a couple of days, and get 1850 titan goods
or 200-300fp tops if you're in FE

what's next? I suspect supply rush packages to fuel the new recurring quest replacement they're clearly pushing out to pull a GVG on CF RQ'ers.

Seeing this kind of desperate crap instead of enticing offers is quite insulting.

I often wonder why so many players seem to think that they know INNO's business better than INNO does. Television is plagued with infomercials for the latest fads and I ask myself "who the heck would buy this crap?". The simple fact is that enough people buy it to offset the marketing expense and turn a tidy profit. I'm sure that the same thing happens with these FoE offers. Most players resist the temptation but enough take the bait which explains why we keep seeing them.

This is the reason for Guild Raids and Mini Challenges. They are trying to run people out of goods so that they need to buy them.
GE level 5 probably did not work as expected for using up players' goods.

I think they offer these little packages mostly aimed at newer players that are just getting started. Same with the "buy 9 Athlon Abbey kits" etc packages they throw out sometimes. It's not really targeted towards seasoned players, as those players typically don't spend much on anything but diamonds anyways.

CF + SMB + HC = Abort 2000 RQ machine....make thousands of goods per day, get FP's in the bank, solve a variety of quests and add to the pile of Medals!

Where's the logic in this? Except for early era players and those in SAT goods should be plentiful. I have 4 minor cities where I camped in IA for a year and am now camping again (3 in HMA, 1 in Indy). In each city I have over 25K of each IA good and am approaching 40K of each current age good with little use for them. If INNO comes up with a feature where I can make sensible use of these goods I'm a fan.

You are a fan of whatever Inno does.

Early Era Ages shouldn't be having goods issues with the amount of Goods Events and Event buildings provide nowadays

Go all in on the standalone buildings and after 1 Event a Iron Age city is already able to produce more than 2-4k Goods per week from productions. Once you have the Great Buildings down, unless you're doing Lvl 5 you don't need thousands of goods until Industrial Age which only needs 1k of each Good for Research.

At the risk of repeating myself and having it dubbed spam, once again in yet another Mini-Quest related thread -

After the August 2023 news that InnoGames' Forge of Empires had passed the $1Billion in lifetime revenue mark they said this:
(excerpted from PG.Biz)
"Our recipe for success is giving loyal long-term players reasons to stick around while making the game fun and accessible for new players. The only way to achieve this balance is to listen very carefully to community feedback and keep delivering new content that players love," said InnoGames chief product officer Christian Reshöft."

Given the bulk of the commentary from players here it does make make me wonder who those "that players love" are.

"that players love" is not a who it's a what. He is referring to content, not players.

May I suggest that before you start obfuscating on behalf of Inno/Foe's offerings of Negotiation Packages by correcting my syntax and grammar you go back and read the entire sentence with its reference to new content that players love.

Then again maybe you backed into something there. Perhaps the Inno/foe thinking that Negotiation Packages were a good idea of content that players love, is indicative thinking of their players as a "what instead of a who".
