This new update just cheapened the game so much. The rewards system for the Merge Mode is absolutely atrocious. I’m on level 15 and already it costs almost one million gems to buy a soldier or archer whereas it started with just a hundred or so. And naturally there’s an option after every match win or lose to watch an ad that increases rewards, oh and also some dragon that flys across the screen that if you tap on, you get an option for get this…watch an ad for more gems! Ads, ads everywhere! It’s like the devs saw all the complaints for advertisements and decided to increase the number of possibilities to watch an ad. I wouldn’t mind doing so on occasion, but now it’s ridiculous. And speaking of the tower game, what is up with this ranking system? Am I honestly to believe there are hundreds of thousands of players, and instantly after the update, I’m ranked something like 18,000? Unbelievable. These fake ranking systems do nothing for rewarding the player, it’s actually very insulting.So it’s rather clear this developer has decided on predatory game mechanics and tactics that really only work on toddlers and pre-teens in order to drive up advertisement return and in game purchases. Lame, I’m done with this trash.
