Its clear that the game has taken a turn for the worst and its largely because GREE has put money above all else. Even reviews from the people working for GREE came out and spoke on it. Everything is Gold nowadays and all basic operations of the game either changed or don't exist. They are asking us for money yet they don't want to give rewards for it. All boost are not extremely small, like 1% and they tend to be things like mission payout and valor - boost that don't affect gameplay. The biggest problem here IMO are the stats. They are out of control. I remember when 1 million was huge and now if you aren't pushing at least 15 trillion, you aren't "competitive". Something needs to change here and it needs to start at the basic level.
Nothing short of full replacement of GREE developers would be the ideal start. After that, they need rebalance the game. I don't want to speak for the whole player base here but stats need to go back to a realistic level and I'm not sure what that is. Units need to have a few zeros removed from them. They also need to update us on things like events and new features.
What are somethings you guys would change? The bottom line is to make money but most of us are too invested to just quit so we should want something better for the game we play.
