I've played this game for years and I just wanted to write how I am very disappointed with the direction they are taking this game.. I know it's a cell phone game but still. It's very much so, even more than before, a pay to win game. They release these events back to back and you can't save enough food, you can't ever get the grand prize (unless you spend gold) and you just run out of time. I am level 179 and only have like 2 champion dragons? I've never won a single dragon at the end of a tournament, and I can never get the grand prize from a leaderboard event or the dragon tales events. Even the farming item events are a joke now, 4,000 just to be enetered into the community prizes? I haven't gotten into it the past two events. And they don't even reward good items from those anymore. Now they are selling d craftable decorations for 25 gold each lol. What happened to the Halloween decorations being released every year, and being able to buy them with coins? You can only get the old pumpkin decorations from the spin wheel now. There's hardly any new decorations being made, it's all just reselling old ones and making them difficult to obtain. I don't mind crafting decorations, but normally I don't have time to craft as many as I want because the event ends so fast. This game is honestly a joke anymore, being milked to the bone and trying to milk more and more money out of everyone. I don't see how this is making people want to play and spend more... just makes me feel discouraged to play the game, and I won't be putting money into it either. If you don't keep your player base happy your game is going to crash and burn. I don't see why we can't turn our useless silver into something that benefits us? Why can't we turn in coins for food since there's no way in heck to save enough food anymore for these events. Why isn't there more island space? Why not add a champion dragon that can be earned through battle items again? Seeing as there's never a way to win the tournaments. Make it available every couple months. Why can't we craft food in the spell shop with gems or something? What happened to playing other storm8 games and being able to earn gold? Since that's long gone, there should be some kind of achiement system that lets us earn gold. Or for hecks sake let us at least get 1 more gold from neighbors? Or make the gold dragons on sale again? And oh my... this waste of space ticket booth, are you guys joking? I haven't even used the thing because I don't win 1st place in bingo. Ever. As soon as we start getting close to the top you throw in new random people that have more points and what do you know, we don't win unless we want to spend gold on boosts or whatever. LET US EARN THINGS OR REWARD US. There's really no other way. Storm8 really needs to find balance in this game. I don't see it getting any better in its current state (and I'm using that loosely) unless they start making this more worthwhile to play.
