Trader Starry Ore Limits: Is this an A/B test or active vs. inactive account targeting?
I’m a returning player who came back around the end of July. I had never bought anything with gems from the Trader shop before. When I returned, I noticed I could buy 15x Starry Ores for gems 4 times in a single week.
However, after the weekly reset, the purchase limit dropped back to 1, and it’s stayed at 1 for 3 weeks straight.
I decided to test this across my 3 accounts:
2 Active IDs: Strictly capped at 1x Starry Ore offer per week for 3 weeks.
1 Inactive ID: Consistently gets 5x Starry Ore offers available every week.
Was that 4x limit on my main account just a temporary A/B test that expired, or does Supercell intentionally grant higher purchase limits to inactive/returning accounts to let them catch up? Has anyone else noticed different Trader stock limits across their alts?
