Gree has always announced big changes to the game and many times justified their reasoning behind the changes, which most of us appreciate. There was a couple March Madness announcements however none concerning Epic Boss. Did you intend for players to tap constantly for 5 days, ultimately levelling the entire playing field for 50% of your users? Coming from a top 10 player who has a real life and can not be expected to trigger a boss every 2 minutes for 5 days straight, I'm now left with 3 options. Option 1, accept the fact all the money I've spent building my account was a waste and spend more from now on to regain my previous stature in the game and pray it will not be rendered futile again with "Obscene October". Option 2, accept defeat and play free with friends. And finally Option 3, delete the game and try to get to know your friends and family again. Based on the feedback I've heard from most people in this scenario, none of them are choosing option 1. Being that option 1 is your only revenue stream of the 3, do you still stand behind your decision? Gameplay is probably at an incredible level for the first time in a while, but the money leaving your pockets I can't imagine is what you had in mind. LTQ have always been designed to make people pay for a leg up in the competition, now Epic Boss has given the most substantial leg up ever for free. Before I make my decision I would simply like to know what the thought process was behind this sudden change, and is this the expected outcome of it?
On a side note, congrats to all the free players. Patience with your growth has certainly paid off, wish I had gone that route.
