My Lands: Black Gem Hunting

Today i was given 2 new 'timed' quests. And as I don't have enough black gems i will fail them. As it is christmas tomorow How am I supposed to buy more BG's. I spent all of my money on things for christmas to make my daughters first christmas nice and my quest didn't come in till 6pm. It's not like I can get any more money till after christmas. So what am I supposed to do? Just fail because the creators of this game are to stupid to realise that people generally don't have a lot of money left at the end of christmas eve?

I totally agree. A system like the honor code is needed! whether the creators see it or not. The honor code protects the TIME difference so that it would be unfair for those starting behind others....BUT to make the ECONOMY of the people fair is ALSO needed.....

For those with larger pockets than normal to win this game easy because other doesn't have the money is a FACT.

My opinion is that money quests (at-least timed) shouldn't exist because it can ruin the game for most people.
To use money in the game should be FAR less helpful because of the simple and most undeniable fact that the few, few people with the deepest pockets wins because of money and NOT skills...... I'm guessing that 1 of 10 on the top lists is there because of the awesome strategy skill... which is what the producers REALLY are looking for..

Please solve this. This is a major problem.

Of course the producers are not looking for people with strategy skills!
Why would they invest all their time (developing this game) and money (server cost) ?
They are after your money; which is fair since developing this game is their job.

As a marketing student you should know that the entire world is about money. (and about sex, but that's off topic...)

@Ahnyanka,
Why don't you buy something useful for your daughters, instead of spending your money on virtual black gems for a "stupid computer game"?

This game can be fun without buying the extra black gems. Who cares if you fail a quest... There's plenty of others coming up.

If you know that you will want to complete some quests for the Black Gems, you can buy them in advance.

And there's no some certain time for receiving new quest. The quests that you received, Ahnyanka, weren't meant to appear on Christmas. Btw, you receive a warning for the "creators of this game are to stupid" of yours.

Probably that's why there is numbers of different way of payment - to reduce any inconvenience in situations like this.
For example - I'm using Pay-pal - It's instant and never fails. The limit is only my bank account, but even then - overdraft or credit are possible.

My point is - it's not Creator's fault, that somebody cannot afford to pay for the game.
Have a nice Christmas

true its not their fault but its wrong that alot of quests can be failed simply by getting them on the wrong day and since they only last 24 hours in most cases players can lose the chance to complete the 150 quests in a row like I did perhaps more players would be more likely to buy black gems if they had a little more time to complete such quests like a couple of days to a week and thus mylands will end up making more money

Just don't open the Advisor window until you have the Gems. Fairly simple, the clock doesn't start running until you see the quest, which is fair really.
