than regular snacks. Your pet will level up greatly and quickly if you spend money on mega snacks. These amazing snacks can be dropped from bosses, or gardened for.

Ok, now for the negative part. Not everyone wants to spend money on crowns, but that isn't a problem because of drops and other ways of obtaining these items. The bad part comes in with gifting. Gifting allows players to give other players crowns items using crowns of their own. While it is a generous aspect to the game, it is also bad in some cases. You probably noticed hoard packs was in all caps earlier in the article. Well that is because hoard packs are sometimes gifted by a lot of begging. Hoard packs only give a chance of getting the epic items, which may be spells, mounts, or housing items. Some people enjoy hoard packs, as they release a huge amount of new items for players to enjoy. But many people are against them because it is like a gamble, using real money. You aren't guaranteed any good items, no matter how many packs you buy. These packs increase amounts of begging because people want all of the newest items and don't really want to pay for them because they don't have any crowns. The reason there is begging if because begging works, people actually get what they want from begging. I'm expecting that many of you have had people beg for hoard packs from you before, and it gets annoying, doesn't it?

So in conclusion, crowns are loved by many people, but also hated, and KingsIsle can't get rid of them because crowns bring in a good of money for them, and they need money to keep this game running.
