Who designed this junk? I know it's 'unlucky' but could they not come up with something better than refunding 20% of what you spent to get a bonus? There's not much to benefit from holding onto the dust, so eventually people will spend it. It doesn't give you much choice as an alternate 'reward' and is pretty lacklustre. The rest of it is great though!



"Don't want the turd sandwich we gave you for 500 dust? (which takes a while to obtain), no problem! have 20% of that dust refunded". It's the equivalent of buying something from the general store for 1k and then selling it for 200gp back to him. TIP: only use when there's 1's!

Do you think this needs changing? Or should this post get thrown into the rants section?

Very fair point, and I agree with you that it should be an alternative prize. The 20% refund in dust feels like a very poor alternative to the multiplier bonus. I'd prefer to see an instant xp lamp/star prize, or perhaps a rarer chance of unlocking an item/emote.

A flat prize of something would be better. Anything but a refund! (which is essentially what it is). But if not, I've learnt my lesson! - only use dust when you have a bunch of 1's lined up! Bob says:

Looks like Rainbow TH got reworked, this newer version is much better! Bob says:
