Support for raising the payouts of other games, but do not nerf g&g. Seriously. As someone who doesn’t do coli, that’s like basically my only income. I don’t see a good reason to be punished for doing that. I get that it’s not for everyone, but, like, c’mon.

Honestly, G&G needs its payout at least halved. I've made 75kt in as little as 7 and a half minutes before, and I can consistently do it in less than ten. That's actually ridiculous. Like once you git gud at G&G it is so ridiculously free. And you don't even need a solver, I have a link to the non-solver method I use in my clan profile. I should not be able to make this much treasure this fast. Nerf G&G and buff the other games as needed to match (that's difficult to do exactly due to skill differences, but devs could just do incremental improvements and observe playtimes on the various games to see what balances out best).

We're just wasting human hours by playing fairgrounds all day, be fr :/
Just buff the other fairgrounds games... Why nerf G&G?

I really don't understand why people are so mad about other people being able to earn money somewhat quickly in this thread. Of why Glimmer & Gloom needs to go instead of balancing earnings.
Some (most) people can't spend all day on Flight Rising and shouldn't be punished for it when you need treasure to be able to play the game.
I'll repeat my previous comment: Most of the games except Glimmer & Gloom are hard on my eyes and make them difficult to play. (I love the Runestone game, but they get too small very fast) And I imagine other players experience the same problems.
If you don't want to max in ten minutes (how is that even possible, even with Glimmer & Gloom?????) just don't play Glimmer & Gloom? Quite a few people are complaining how fast they can max out their treasure, but like. No one is forcing you guys to play Glimmer & Gloom. No one is forcing you to only play Glimmer & Gloom if you want to spend more time in the Fairgrounds.
Majong gives a higher payout at the end of each board, but no one is complaining about that.
Things needs to be balanced, yes (especially Tidal Trouble), but I do not support gettng rid of Glimmer & Gloom.

A solved game like G&G should have a smaller payout than it does, and the more time consuming games should pay significantly better than they do.

I support buffing the other fairgrounds games but I don't support nerfing G&G :O
I don't have a lot of time nowadays to play FR, and sometimes I worry I'm playing too much FR anyway. I also play almost exclusively on mobile and G&G is one of the most mobile friendly fairgrounds games. I do not need to spend over half an hour playing an arcade game on a petsite when I could be doing work, productive hobbies, or playing more enjoyable video games.
Far too many players' treasure income comes from G&G, and for some of those it's the only treasure they get. Just because I can turn my brain off and watch a show in the background while I play G&G for 10 minutes doesn't mean it would be better if everything functioned the same but it instead took 30+ minutes.
I get that players want a "balance" between effort spent and treasure earned but you can't do it at the cost of respecting the player's time.
I actually don't think the fairgrounds games should be buffed until we get more expensive sinks in the game for the exact reason some peeps mentioned earlier when G&G came out :O (thanks for the info btw! I don't think I was around for that time period). But the economy has stabilized since G&G's release and nerfing it now would be fixing a problem that already got sorted out.

Support for balancing other games by raising them accordingly, but I would hate to see G&G nerfed. It's my primary source of income when I have the time to play it, more often than not I hardly even have the time for that.
Yes, it being 'solved' makes it easier, but I don't think that's a bad thing?? It's there to make money with. It being easier by being solved hasn't and at this point won't hurt anything. I do not have the time to sit down and play other games in Fairgrounds, nor do any of them cooperate with my eyes well enough to justify it. Coli is.. a slog and I only dedicate serious time to that during NotN.
G&G is a valid source of income for plenty of people, and I don't think it's fair to punish those of us that don't have the time or otherwise can't be making money other ways just because the other games are overdue for a payout increase.

If staff have an issue with G&G being solved they would've/should've put it out years ago. But as it stands, G&G is THE best way to max out Fairgrounds, and as @/SpiritsoftheSun mentioned, reducing the earnings of G&G will just punish people who only have a limited time to be on FR, and that's not fair. Fairgrounds already has a max of what you can earn in a day, so reducing the payout of G&G would be arbitrarily making people spend more of their limited time just to get the same earnings they would have gotten before.
That being said, I do believe every single Fairgrounds game sans Higher/Lower should be boosted to G&G status, because at the end of the day, it's the same amount of money in roughly the same amount of time, boosting the other games would merely help with the tedium of FR daily grinding.

I've ducked in to say stuff but haven't actually given my support.
I do support the idea of increasing the payouts for all of the Fairgrounds games, except Glimmer and Gloom. I do not support the idea of G&G being nerfed.
Personally, I can't play G&G. Even with a solver I just don't get it, so I'm not able to get in on the fast fairgrounds cash that other players are enjoying lmao. I'm not upset about it, I think it's great that there is a FG game that ppl can turn and burn -- and while perhaps the 7 minute example is a little extreme, I don't think that players should have to burn over an hour to hit cap.
I'd love to be able to hit cap with Mahjong or Jigsaw, but it's really just not worth the effort. I only play FG if I need a quick 5kt and I don't have anything to hoardsell. Raising the payout would incentivize play and make that part of the site more worthwhile!

Looking for: Olive/Watermelon/Cobalt, any Element. Will pay A LOT for it.
