Gnome Audio Player starts at 100% and deafens me in the headphones.
Could you please tell where the config file is located? I googled and there was no distinct answer to that. Thanks bunch.

Help, could you advise where the config file is that contains the default volume settings for the app? Why would one even set it to 100%.

Hi, could you recommend any brands/stores of good quality jigging assist hooks? I need the hooks, not the assembled sets. Something reliable. I do mostly slow jigging.

World Cup was another nail to the coffin of AE Play and Earn. The coin discounts turned to sh!t. The shopping credits do not even appear after restocking. Half of the red coupons (!) that were always in freaking abundance have disappeared. Merge Boss ATM credits that survived are only $3 and $5. Prize Land watering adds 0.00001% to the goal.

I am off World Tour and not going to come back for the diamonds that cannot be exchanged nor for the illusive $10 green coupon. Thanks AE for letting me off your junk!

That's not the first time we observe that AE launches special events like World Cup event where participation gives you real rewards (shopping credits). A lot of AE defenders say "oh, yes, all of the gaming had already been budgeted, and not a lot of people play games for credits, or what do you expect? AE is not obligated to give you credits for free?" and similar BS. That is just nowhere near the truth. First, AE doesn't give you credits "for free" you need to sweat out the credits wasting your time playing. Second, if AE thoroughly budgeted the gaming credits there wouldn't be such utterly unfair actions as:

1. restricting diamond exchange chances, and even removing red coupon options!
2. removing $0.5 and $1 options for converting Merge Boss ATM credits,
3. lowering Coin credits to a ridiculous level.
4. increasing overall prices and removing discounts when people in AE's opinion accumulate "too much" of the credits after such events like World Cup.

All above show that there is no "budgeting" of gaming credits whatsoever! AliExpress look like total buffoons giving people option to earn credits and then boldly robbing them of their credits and diminishing their efforts. Disgusting!

I want to be sure you understand me correctly: I am not to discuss tariffs/taxes etc. AE is a great shopping platform that sells cheap as dirt and yet perfectly useful merchandise (if you know how to choose and keep your expectation realistic). Full stop.
But there are some things on AE that are an absolute utter annoyance. They imply that either AE has no control over the situation or they deliberately introduced those "features":

1. Coin page shows "applied" discount rather than actual coin discount. WTF??? That makes selecting the best coin discount so much harder when you have coupons/credits in hand. I can see how much was applied at the goddam checkout! Let me see the best coin discount in the list of listings!
2. Often coin discounts are nowhere near the actual that you get at the checkout. (No AE control)?
3. Sellers are allowed to show the best item option as a thumbnail with the price of the cheapest option. Be aware.
4. Sellers are allowed to put shipping cost equal or greater than the item price itself. Mind you that shipping fee is not refundable. It's clear that sellers get a guarantee of having some surplus if the item is returned and avoiding paying the AE sale %, but hey is that fair trade for a buyer?
5. Sellers lack of vital item description (e.g. like measurements). Example. I want to buy a dremel bit. I need to know if it fits. The item has tons of details BUT the shaft diameter. C'mon man. Seriously? Do you want to sell it or not?

Feel free to share your most annoying things on AE website/app.

Noob question: I am a bit tired doing MB and MC. If I don't visit the game for a month what would happen? Will I lose the storage items? Will the game restart? What to expect?

Hi guys, has anyone used this brand of tools? They make hot air stations, soldering stations, power supplies etc. They seem to be cheaper than other "better" brands like Yihua, Aixun, Aifen etc. but is it any good? Does anyone use them?

As a matter of fact you don't need anything above lvl 5 gens. If I had only known that before I started to take Millionaire Challenge seriously 😄

Level 407. So, building the shops gets exponentially harder with every next shop.
Getting over 10K VIP orders with $100 rollover is quite a challenge now too. What's next?
Mergeboss MC was the only guaranteed way to get shopping credits with the diamond exchange sucking b@lls.

I look at the weekly leader board every week and first two places have always been like far away from the third. Right now it is 980k first 908k the second and 510k third.
Sometimes I see that first two places are like 3M points XP how is that even physically possible??? Knowing that in the end you get just diamonds that you cannot even exchange to credits now - I see no way of the "leaders" to spend any additional resources to get to 1st and 2nd place. What's going on?

Guys check on a new day if your discount got back to norm? Did AE realise they shot themselves in the foot? I imagine the sales dropped a lot.

I am curious if AE officially announces any changes they made in their pricing policy/discounts etc? Could you give me any links/references if such exist? I don't care if that's Chinese or English, I just need to know if they inform the customers.
