Thousands of kudos, thousands of wishstones and a couple of thousand gems all sitting idle. After you've maxed out your shrines, the store is virtually useless as there's no alt or giant houses available, and extra shrines have been banished from the well making wishstones worthless.

yeah, I noticed that suddenly when I'm overrun with gems now.......there is nothing to buy in the store. I'm missing most of the houses but all there to buy are the useless cadets or overpriced dragon house in there at the moment. And yeah the wish well, not really any fun after I purchased my remaining shrines recently when they were 50% off. I've won a house only during the wishing weekend, no matter how many times I try I never win a house now so it must be a one in 10,000 chance or something ridiculous like that.

Yeah, I agree, this game needs a little renewal:
- Increasing the probabilities of big prizes in the wishing well. It is ridiculous throwing 1000 stones and earning a bunch of bushes and trees.
- Increasing the friends cap. It is absurd to have 100 friends and 100 invitations
- Putting all the houses in the store. What is the use of putting new houses for a week and removing them for months?
- Check the store items prize policy. A companion worth 3000 gems? A dragon house 1200 gems? That's ridiculous
- Solve the technical problems. Mandatory and urgent.
- Provide more terrain. Islands are packed and we need new ground.

Sounds to me like a luxury as I'm constantly short on wishstones and especially gems but I can see how it would be boring if you have an abundance.

It's just a trait of these type of builder games, everything slows down when you reach higher levels.
In the beginning I used to play Lost Islands a lot more than I do now. Everything was new then and the wait times a lot shorter.
Now I mostly play only once a day to send/receive gifts, harvest crops, collect from sanctuaries, plant crops and activate sanctuaries.

I'm still at the stage where I can't imagine having more gems than I know what to do with. But leveling (both at the kingdom and the skylander levels) has become a real slog, so I know how you feel. They need to create additional adventures that give out more exp/hour that are only available to high level skylanders so it doesn't take weeks to rise one level. I get that it gives people something to do, but when the payoffs are so distant, it becomes much less compelling.

Woz, you could always delete your game and start fresh! Then you want have to worry about having an abundance issue!

;-p I was going to say "you first", but since your saved game is currently at Level 1, that wouldn't really be fair now, would it? Any word from Activision yet?
