We all know the Black Friday issue that people complain about every year. The "Rare Item" prize pool.
This prize pool is for people who purchase $100 worth of GB on Black Friday (this year it's November 29th).
You are randomly given one of the following items.

EDIT 2022: The prize pool has expanded since I made this post to add items like Mukombero and added previous year MODs into the pool as well. However, this pool is STILL unbalanced.
There is now a grand total of 45 items in this pool (including 2021 MODs) which is still around a 10 in 45 (20-25%) chance to pull a item like a Black Stallion or a Giant Tortoise, etc.




This suggestion would be altering how rewards work for Black Friday.

Option 1

Removing of the items; Roasted Vulture, Shamanic Stew, Giant Tortoise, Energy Boost, and Black Stallion mainly.
This makes the prize pool smaller, but allows for a $100 purchase to be more beneficial to players.

Option 2
Suggested by #166486
Removal of the items in Option 1 still, but adding in some higher rewards. Items like Interstellar Remnants, Mukombero, Solaris applicator, maybe even Seducation, and/or Sunset Markings

Edit 2022: Since Mukomberos have been added, include Interstellar Remnants, Solaris, Seduction, etc. Or perhaps some UNIQUE TO BLACK FRIDAY base/marking applicators?

Option 3

Removal of the items from Option 1 as well, or maybe don't.
However, you can pick what prize you'd like from the prize pool. MODs excluded.
This allows for people to not abuse picking MODs and still get a prize they want.

As for the MODs in this option, there could be a certain % spawn rate upon purchase to get a MOD. Less than the 30% décor one, of course.




This suggestion has 252 supports and 4 NO supports.

Do you just want people to cry as they spend $100 and get a GOP? Because honestly I just want to see the world burn and you're helping me

imagine spending 100 dollars and getting a single, 1gb black stallion. im pretty sure they'll change this considering how much negative feedback the bonus items list has gotten from everyone. i understand it's just an extra free bonus, and you already get the 242 gb you paid for, but i think it would only be fair to make the bonuses good and not something you could just purchase off tc any time you want

support, with such a big purchase, they shouldn't be getting some shitty Black Stallion or other common item. It really should be tweaked to appreciate people making such a big purchase :)

I seriously hope the list is tweaked this Black Friday... I'll be staying up to check the newspost before I buy my GB! If I'm being honest, I'd be very demotivated to ever buy GB on Black Friday if I ended up getting a Black Stallion or Energy Boost :o

Suggestion though: removal of the following items:

- black stallion (1 GB)
- energy boost (2 GB)
- giant tortoise (1 GB)
- instant cub delivery (2 GB)
- jellyfish (maybe, maybe not)
- roasted vulture (2 GB)
- shadow of death (5? GB)

everything else is worth a lot more...

yeah, maybe it's too much to remove, but really, you are asking us to spend $100 when you have a chance of reciving something as stupid as an IBF

I think the Jellyfish is fine tbh, as it's only available in slots, but I can agree with the other items.

I spent $100 and got an Energy Boost.

Yes I got my GB and the mod. But compared to what I could of got a common available every day energy boost feels like a slap in the face.

Another idea would be to create a Prize Pool under the $50 or $75 areas.

Move the items like: Egg Yolk, Black Stallion, Energy Boost, Instant Cub Delivery, Roasted Vulture, Shamanic Stew down to the lower purchase teirs.

This makes the pool for the $100 smaller.

At the same time, give players that spend less than $100 a chance to get something, though not as good as the higher spenders.

Adding my support to the pool. Sometimes it feels like the devs are out of touch about what items the community actually considers valuable.

I can never do the Black Friday deal sadly as I need to save all I can at the end months of the year and seeing this I'm kind of thankful I can't because my sensitive self might just sob if I got a Black Stallion after paying 100 USD xD
I feel so bad for anyone who got IBF or Black stallion or something omg.

Considering this is basically the only deal they do all year I believe, the pool should not have basic items you can get super easily.

100% support this for the players who buy the GB!
