Full support!

I've never been a fan of premium currency, I understand their place but the game should be enjoyable and players should be able to progress without hitting a wall because they can't afford microtransactions. Premium should be an add-on, not a reliance IMO.

i hope there's no rule against boosting threads, but this seems relevant now!

Support as well! I was very surprised to see expansions went back to moonstones after EA

I also support this

Complete support, it is absolutely ridiculous and comes across as money-grabbing to make the first few expansions cost premium. I agree that expanding the apparel slots by moonstones is no big deal - it's not a super necessary game mechanic - but the first few dens/cooking pot/mining cart/etc being premium? It feels greedy, and is very unfriendly to newer players, or players who don't have the time/means to acquire many moonstones.

The first 3-5 - depending on whether it's den, minecart, cooking pot, etc - should be pebbles, increasing in price, and then turn into moonstones (still starting at 10ms imo) from then on. I don't know how many expansions you can make out of those tbf, so if let's say 5 is already the maximum expansions you can make, then making only the first one or two expansions pebbles would be fair. I suppose it also depends on if more expansions will be available in the future, too.

Fully Support!
It's a little frustrating to have to use moonstones for starter expansions, I understand it for the later ones, but at least let us get the first few expansions with pebbles-

Bringing this up again given the last development update, if that's allowed. (please let me know if it's not)

Support. Actually a bit frustrated this wasn't addressed in the update.

Definitely support. Even as someone willing to spend money, I share these concerns and it’s frustrating.

Support!
