As with a lot of things in Mafia Wars, the Loyalty Program items are in bad need of an update. If you've been playing the game, chances are you have acquired quite a few Loyalty Points. I do buy Reward Points so I have way too many. I haven't used them because there is nothing worth spending them on.
I'm sure we all remember when Zynga took away the one item that actually helped us (1).
So what's left and why haven't I used any of my 13,661 Loyalty Points? Depending on your status, here are all the things we can buy with Loyalty Points.
Just like with real money, I would never waste Loyalty Points on any loot items. Sure it would be cool to give my stats a small boost but chances are it would be short lived. I would feel ripped off once better loot was made available in the game. The cost of these loot items is also a lot and not many are better than what's in game.
What can I say about the Chop Shop building parts? The items you get for using these to craft are totally useless.
Boosts are cool but we don't get to enjoy the for more than a millisecond. If the game would let us control when they are used then maybe I would want to buy them.
Property upgrade parts are only useful to those who need to upgrade their properties. Cement Blocks and Power Tools are needed for the Brazil Hold Out but these items are giftable. If you have enough Loyalty Points to buy these items, chances are you play the game and have enough mafia members to help you. If you don't like to beg and have a hole burning in your Loyalty Point wallet then Michael V. of the PAC recommends this option.
If you are at the Gold Status then buying a Loyalty Crate isn't a bad idea. The cost is cheap and the rare items have really good stats.
There is the purple item Quality Icon again!
I still don't bother because this is what usually happens whenever I take my chances with Zynga odds! For now I'll just bank my Loyalty Points and wait for an update. I'm sure that will happen right after the Crime Spree and Treasure Chest loot is updated!

any idea WHEN & IF the treasure chest & crime spree will be updated as soooo NOT worth bothering about, havent collected any for ages now as rubbish items
ReplyDeleteI am so sick of the crap they give us for loot any more!!! I can go through 2000 stamina and my stats will go up 10 or 12 points!! MB collection and Tools of The Trade collection... So many i lost count at about 200 complete sets.
ReplyDeletedont't forget a robbing loot update! funny thing though, the only thing getting real updates from time to time is the loot from the lucky stash slot machine, wonder why, perhaps because it takes a lot of RPs from play, so they keep that loot updated to keep players motivated to spend RP, really, wonder why...
ReplyDeletei miss the loyalty energy points...
ReplyDeletezynga pls bring it back...lol
banked 50k useless-points, i mean... loyalty points so far...
ReplyDeletethey are useless as trader (no-)goh.
what is the purpose of a +50 atk/def. boost when you already have 2000 or more skill points?!?!? those +50 points won't give any advantages...
more time useless wasted with rubbish new inventions to the game which should have been spent with FIXING it...
