C'mon man. This is really unfair too. We pay real money to be VIP and really aren't treated that way all. Everything is 50% off in every store right now, but EVERY TIME it EXCLUDES the VIP Store! In addition to that, why do you arbitrarily have some things that expire in a limited amount of time and not others that stay in there forever? I was looking forward to 50% off expiring items that I already bought before and want more of, but NOPE. No 50% for VIP members.

wasnt vip 50% off not that long ago

There is no 50% off in the Realtor, either!

It was quite a while ago, so long, I don't remember. It was like a token sale because others complained about the same thing. It really stinks because of the expiring items and they like to use the "Exclusivity and Scarcity Principal" to get us to buy and spend more. If they have 50% off in ALL STORES, it should include VIP clothing and furniture.

Thank you for the feedback

Thank you for YOUR feedback and attention to this matter.

NOT PLEASED that BVG's push in selling goods in deals/packs at 25% discount, when BVG OBVIOUSLY HAD PLANS in place to launch the storewide 50% discounts, is simply, underhanded. The Backyard BBQ pack I just picked up in the wee hours before the deal/pack ended, was a sneaky 25% profit for BVG. The 57YC pack (per the base cost of the three YC items in the pack), sold at a "deal" @ 42YC, only hours later, is now @ 28YC for the same goods, for 6 more days ... Just plain rude.

VIP SHOULD DEF BE 50% OFF AS WELL.

Thank you for your response here. I don't have Discord and don't have any intention of starting any other platforms at this time. It's just too much to keep up with. If it matters, I "vote" for VIP to be included in these sales. If most VIP players are like me, we are spending quite a bit more than just for the VIP membership and we would really appreciate being able to have a sale now and then.

the Music Store is not discounted either

Different companies have different concepts of what celebrating an Anniversary birthday means. For instance, most games I play realize that by celebrating the players who actually make the game possible yield a much more profitable outcome for them during these times. All the players ... from people who support the game through word of mouth (which is why I actually started playing 5 years ago), to low spenders, to moderate spenders, to VIP spenders. EVERYONE gets to enjoy discounts and no section is not included... because the companies realize that without all players, there would be no game. It's antithetical to a successful profit margin to NOT ensure that this is the case in BVG. VIP stores should definitely be a part of the birthday discounts.

While I'm not sure what VIP get for birthday gifts... imagine if we all give BVG a similar birthday present to the ones we get and spend only 500,000 Yo Coins during Yo Anniversary celebrations! That just wouldn't do now would it?

Honestly, game anniversaries should be a celebration of the game creators and originators (for sure), but even moreso for the staff (both paid and volunteer), the creators and all players (especially those who spend any real money to include those in VIP). Everyone should win. And the discounts should be just as grand as the antics used to encourage Yo Cash spending and to deplete of us of our hard earned undervalued Yo Coins.

For me personally... the things that are giving back to the players during this celebration have been the fairly discounted bundle sales, the return of Storylines and the 50% sale. This is only a margin of what players give back in way of spending on everything else, from buying Mystery Boxes, participating in Events that now give prizes that have little resale value after we invest in actually spending Yo Cash and real cash to purchase Yo Cash items to do the Events, exclusive real Cash only Bundles, any Yo Cash Packages where we spend real cash, purchasing anything in Auction these days and VIP support to name just a few of the ways players spend, support and give to this game... to include user created content and recruiting friends (especially ones who spend).

Since the stores are having a 50% off sale, here's to hoping that VIP store discounts are soon to follow.

So... I celebrate the 50% sale as the best part of the Anniversary Birthday Gifts to players so far. It should indeed be fair to all... including VIP.
Now if only we get decent deals on Yo Cash in time to actually enjoy the fullness of the 50% sale.

Please can we have 50% off VIP.. It would be fab to get a break and stock up..

YaY Thank you for 50% off vip.. doing happy dance
