GREE you are squeezing the life out of this onnce great game. You had probably the best app in the store. Great team play, fun, engaging etc etc.

You have systematically tried through ludicrous schemes to ever squeeze the fruit. You had the Golden Goose and you killed it.

Now all thats left are a few mouldy pips and a half eaten stale KFC thigh.

Raid Boss Cut to 1 hour timer with high health and lower rewards. We know you messed up last RB and created a farming culture for rewards but that was because once again no one thought through the ramifications of the absurd new features. All designed to get the tappers tapping.

Now you have on que ! Learched violently in the opposite direction to stop this happening, and again created even more problems.

In the words of a past First Lady Mrs Nancy Reagan .... Sort your *profanity removed* out !

Is this an April Fools joke? I sure hope so. I'll not make my rash "I quit" announcement just yet... but if this RB health is correct, and if I don't get the gold back for the folders I bought that disappeared, this is it for me. It's not fun anymore.

If these ppl spent more time fixing the game rather than over censoring the Forum we'd all feel a lot more like a juicy G****..

Hello,

I will be sure to forward your sentiment on this to the team; however, I do have to ask that when feedback is reported that it is done civilly. Please don't bypass the swear filter, it's unnecessary.

Also, a reminder that the Community Team and the Development team have different functions. The Community team can't fix the game, only the Devs can. It is our responsibility to work on adhering forum rules, so when it's requested that we work on the game and not editing language on the forum - it's simply something we can't do. We're not programmers.

The reason the word g-r-a-p-e is edited is, sadly, the word for sexual assault is part of it and unfortunately the settings for vBulletin don't take into consideration that an inappropriate word can be part of an innocuous one.

Hope that clears everything up.

Relic,

I think they need you to work with the development team. You guys are so good at "finding" TOS violations here, you guys might be able help the devs "find" and proof-read their work. The community managers seem to be very detailed-oriented. Just a suggestion.

Wait. You think people can fix the game? Bless your heart.

The only way to get Gree to sort this out is hurting them in the pocket. Don't spend gold!

Is it an April Fools joke saying you bought folders with gold? Even if it was free video gold, why would you buy folders with gold?

I know folders were removed but it probably would've taken a 60 man faction 2 minutes to get a few folders back.

Relic, do you understand the concept of what is going on with this event?

1. All our folders disappeared, even the ones we paid real money for

2. The damage required to even receive a loot item is now set so high that in even a top 150 or top 100 team not a single person has a strong enough hit to qualify for loot from even the "weakest" beginner boss

3. The boss health is set so high that a top 100 team cannot even kill anything at all above a level 1 beginner boss.

The issue has nothing to do with the fruit from which wine is made nor profanity filters, and the people who pay your salary are extremely unhappy right now with the product being fed to them.

Well, since, as you can see from other threads on the forum in the last 24 hours, that many people had an issue preventing folders from dropping at all, everyone else was only receiving 1 folder for 300-500 energy spent, and, if your entire team of 60 people was doing exactly as they should in making progress in an already-running FLTQ, as mine was, therefore having no energy available to speak of, it makes perfect sense for a leader who cares about his team's success to buy a few hundred folders for an event that requires them.

It's a leader thing. Maybe you wouldn't understand the concept of wanting to set your team up for success.

However, why make me your target of vile loathing instead of the company that just robbed people of actual money?

By the same logic the word g-r-a-s-s should be filtered. We can't have people talking about lawn care or using alternative terms for illegal (in some jurisdictions) substances.

You do realize this problem was solved many years ago?

I still chuckle when I had an article published by Stephen Hawkings discussion on black holes was filtered as pron.

Well, the Devs need to know that this Raid Boss is one event we will sit out. I like a game to be challenging and strategic, but this level of Raid Boss was made for the top 25 teams who spend ungodly amounts of gold. The Devs have managed to kill this event for at least 75% of the factions.

That would only work if the variable names in the coding were inappropriate like "If G**** >= Greetarded then goto erase_folders"

When life hands you g-r-a-p-e-s, stop spending real money and hit them where it hurts. Also I figured it was ok to bypass the swear filter because the community manager did it as well! :)

I don't have a problem with someone bypassing the swear filter in this way. :P

Guess it's easy for you to be a target when you post this in a different thread,

Anyone who even bothers wasting 1 tap on this event has rocks in their head.

So by your own words, you waste your own money for the folders, but just have your team hit? Or do you have rocks in your head too? But just keep tapping? It's hard to understand when you contradict yourself in two different threads.

If only devs can fix the game then the game is doomed. Their track record is dismal and on a fast downward spiral. This event is sooo bad I am actually laughing at it. You really have to work hard at it to be this bad.
