The economy of animal jam is so incredibly broken it’s ridiculous. I remember when My Shops were first released, and the max you could sell for was only 1k - and 1k for an item was seen as ridiculous. Then 5k got added, and 5k was ridiculous. And now 5k is considered such a little amount. It was honestly sad to watch sapphire and item worth being destroyed.. 500 sapphires used to get you so much, and now it’s seen as pocket money

I like taking a back seat in All this and just watching it play out. It might seem like a lot of people are helping. But most people have no control over what happens.

I will not do this anymore. My brother had 23 egg tokens, and he put them in his my shop for 5,000 sapphires. I was so confused why he sold them for that much. My brother is super caring, so he bought 28 egg tokens for me abd told me to put 25 of them in my shop at exactly 5,000 sapphires. I did. I didnt play aj for the next 2 days. When i finnaly got on, it just kept spamming 5,000 saps at me. 25 times. I was SOOOOOOOOO happy. Bought all my wishlist items. I was still happy until i found this vid. I am not gonna put them at 5,000 saps anymore. Only 500 like their supposed to be. Thanks Kijjikon. ❤:)

This game is requiring children to ask their parents to buy microtransactions to get more sapphires or wishing coins, and yet, people wants more and more and more stuff, and with many sapphires they could buy whatever they pleased, but for poor jammers, they can bearly get stuff they wanted, a have to resort to paying with real money.

One of my painted eggs (Pastel Yellow) sold for 4500 sapphires near the start of the event. But again, this was near the start of the event and it was actually the cheapest on explorer at the time of that specific colour as they were still new. So I just assumed someone rich and desperate for "new thing now" bought it. I wonder if it wsa actually the bot... Either way, I was thrilled at getting 4500 sapphires from an egg and had sold a few more for 500 each since and i'm now hoarding them for selling later. :D

I know another thing I've seen effecting the economy. These timed events have been massive for grinders. Last Halloween I made 25,000 from grinding the light and dark chest. And I was selling on the low end for 250. Getting large amounts of Sapphire from grinding is very easy now if you have the time. I've made 3,000 from just selling a few eggs this easter and I haven't even been grinding that much. I dont know if this is a good thing or bad thing tbh. I love the chance of getting sapphires and it does give others a good chance to get some as well. But I feel like its going to push people into a box of hard grinding. Either through trading or events. Getting money from selling art in my shop hardly seems worth refilling at times even though i make a tidy profit. Its just 50 or 25 saphires. Which is nothing right now. Having to spend hours advertising just for a chance at a small anount of saphires when i can just pick up shovels to get a guaranteed big reward limits my options in terms of where my money comes from. Before i dabled in selling items, playing mini games and packruns, trading, selling art and getting lucky in small ways like with lenei. Now it's just doing the same thing for hours. I've found I've been less interested in the game lately. I feel the only way to get items i want is to grind constantly. Which kinda sucks tbh. And i can definitely see it turning people away from the game.
