You can get tokens by buying points. There's your option to "buy them". What they're charging is however much it would cost you to buy enough points to get the required tokens.


Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be

Ah, I meant the wings alone, not how much to get up to that point.

Yeah, the point of my complaint was that I have spent a lot of my own money on this game, but now I don't know if I can afford any extra PP. My last post was wrong, I did not do a good job of expressing my argument. Sorry. I stand by my first post, but I want an option to just buy the wings. And I don't care what the wings cost... up to a point. If it goes over a certain point, I don't know if it would be worth it.

Also, I can be just as big of a fan even if I now can't afford to buy any extras. This is the only game I am subscribed to, now. The economy hit me pretty hard recently, and I am still paying. I don't know if it counts for anything, but I am a fan still.

Again, my last post was poorly written, sorry.

The teir 9 stuff is a reward for players that have been playing a long time. If you havent, then you dont get the reward. Tough titties.

You dont go to a someone holding a raffle and moan at then for you not winning, then demand something 'cos you wanted it'.

As harsh as this sounds, I have to agree (full disclosure: I'm tier 7 VIP). This game needs more, not fewer, exclusive rewards that can't be attained by the average player.

I agree, but I'd like to be able to get them eventually. I don't want them now. I mean, I do, but I can wait. I would definitely be willing to wait if I knew that I could get them eventually. I don't like the cycling of the rewards, though, which is what this thread is supposed to be about. And there is really no point of the harsh tone, it makes you look mean.

You pretty much have everyone's support in this, including the developers from the looks of things. T9 VIP stuff is available for a time, then goes into a Disney Vault, then the last we heard is it will be made available "by other means" at some point. We don't know what that is, but presumably it will be a means other than being a T9 VIP.

This. The devs in a roundabout way asked about this...they hinted toward the fact that maybe some of the Tier 9 stuff will be available to everyone.

I'm not sure if it's me or you, but your arguments confuse me. You want the wings and you don't care how much they cost, but yet you aren't willing to buy PPs to get the tokens for them now? And you don't mind waiting to get the wings, but you don't want to wait until they cycle back in?

What do you *actually* want to happen, and when?

Isn't that kind of the point? Or else it's not very "VIP" is it?

So that means you CAN buy them.

Now.

Are they worth over $400 to you?

I suspect it will be somewhat less than that actually.

$100 worth of points gives you 8 tokens. 9 if you've never bought any before. Pretty easy to figure out how much it would cost you.

Not to be mean, but your problem isn't that you can't buy them.

Your problem is that it would cost more than you want to spend to buy them.

They'll eventually be available through other means, as others have said. But unless you're willing to plunk down the cash to get them NOW, you're going to have to wait.
