A few days ago, Zynga updated the Lucky Stash Loot. Whenever this happens (which is frequently), the complaints about ignored features start rolling in. Features that require or promote the use of Reward Points are always updated.
I've gone over the
Crime Spree,
Treasure Chest and
Loyalty Program features and how badly they need updating in the past. As of today nothing has changed. We were told on more than one occasion that these features are most likely not going to be updated.
There is one feature in need of an update that you rarely see anyone ask about. Trader Goh's Pawn Shop was requested by the players and we were all really excited for it to enter the game. The excitement died on the day it was implement (Jan 7th, 2011). Zynga threw in a twist and Reward Points were required to utilize it. Loot becomes useless very fast in Mafia Wars and there has only been one update of 3 items on April 20th. Almost all the items are useless which is ironic since the intent of the feature is to get rid of junk. This should be all the proof we need to know that players are not using it. If they were, we would see regular updates. I bet Trader Goh is pretty pissed off that nobody visits his shop.
Here are all 19 items that are available in Trader Goh's Pawn Shop. We get much better loot just for playing the game for free. They need to reduce the number of Reward Points needed for each item to reflect the decrease in value or just get rid of this feature.

LMAO... I've never used it.. it was a rip off from day 1
ReplyDeleteThe Loyalty program is even worse...sitting on loyalty points that can't be used - even for a stam refill! It's a shame Zynga does nothing about it.
ReplyDeleteI agree on reducing the rp needed. This to me is really for collectors that play the game, not fighters. The loyalty program is good for an energy refill here and there and also for collectors, GOH and Loyalty are both nice features for those that collect. There are more aspects to the game than fight/job completion :o) -Lonnie
