After 100's (if not thousands) of unanswered complaints, we are here to demand an end to the greed of Scopely that is swiftly killing The Walking Dead: Road to Survival. This is a great game, with excellent potential, that is being destroyed by outrageous prices and "odds". We understand that in-game purchases support the developers of free games, and do not begrudge them making money on the product they've created. However, the prices are beyond ludicrous. No one should spend hundreds of dollars only to end up with nothing but duplicate low level characters. Offering upgrade items for the few high level characters, that are only available if you spend over a hundred dollars for a slim "chance" of obtaining them, is extremely unethical. While there are supposed to be ways to earn in-game currency, most of them do not work for the majority of players, even after months of support requests. We would love to see this game grow and expand, as well as the developers be rewarded for their hard work, however:
1 - The cost of purchasing all items in the game needs to be reduced. The coin cost of all items are highly over-valued. Approximate cost of $4 per character is shockingly excessive, this is just one example.
2- The 'odds' system needs to be adjusted. This should be adjusted to guarantee something with so many opens, and take out the risk of receiving multiple low level duplicates. Offering a chance for a high level character with 30 opens is asking hard working people to fork over more than $100, most the time for absolutely nothing. This includes the odds on bags and crates that are necessary to upgrade characters.
3. The offers and videos to earn coins need to be fixed. While most of us do not mind spending money occasionally, it should not be necessary to play and enjoy the game.
If these are not fixed, quickly, It WILL cause a mass uninstall of the game. All signatories of this petition will leave reviews highlighting these issues, request refunds of all purchases, as well as filing complaints with our respective app suppliers and the BBB.
Please do justice to this game and the franchise by making it fair-to-play.

I really cannot stop thinking about the stories appearing in the comments about those ridiculous duplicate characters because it feels like just throwing money into a black hole. It is honestly absurd that support never replies to anyone when the odds are this broken and yet they expect us to keep paying up for nothing. I am looking into some ways to bring more attention to their pricing model since ignoring us is clearly their strategy right now.

P2w is unreal, the game doesn't even clearly state that u might get a low rated toon when buying an elite pack which only shows the high end ones. I'm pretty sure that has a lawsuit written on it right ?
Spent close to $200 so far, keep getting the same three star characters. Come on now, all other games that offer coins for cash don't inflate their earnings. I'm very close to uninstalling this game if things don't change.
I agree on this, whole heartedly. The ingame prices are ludicrous. If they guaranteed, by spending gold on premium players and weapons would grant you the characters you need, they would most definitely increase spending. I for one, will not be buying anymore gold until this dispute is addressed appropriately.
I spent 100 coins in the game, did not get what I paid for, after 22 emails back and forth and 3 and a half weeks just to get it straight, they pretty much say oh well...never did get it back....
I'm tired of the bs draws. I have been playing since the beginning and yet to receive a 5* character. There are people on there that have 5+ 5* characters. The odds are just terrible.
agree
Love the game, but the amounts are ridiculous and chances are fake.

I agree with everything in this petition. This games blatant pay2win approach is disgusting and how Kirkman could allow scopley to tarnish TWD franchise with these tactics is, hell, I can't even think of an appropriate word to express my disappointment in him. This game needs a major overhaul to its coin system.
