and with T2+ rewards sucking as much as they do.. what is the point of trying to fit the new mould mobage is trying to impose? Why spend unjustifiably high money and resource (ec, bc and time) gaining temporary and useless rank for useless unplayable rewards, it means only you're paying for a virtual gallery art piece in a gallery that is impossible to complete. There are websites that have all the graphic files from the game so you can look at them and download them for free.. even the 3D parallax ones. The only skill needed for the game is how good a job you can get in real life to pay for your rank.

The fact is, the business is a casino. Transformers is just one 'theme', they have many card games with very similar gambling elements, and people complaining about the ridiculous costs and pay to win format, but at least they have more gameplay features (like fantasica). They have no problem paying bills. Look at the annual statement: http://dena.com/intl/press/2013/05/dena-reports-fourth-quarter-and-fiscal-year-2012-financial-results.html

DeNa reported quarterly revenue of 52.3 billion yen (approximately $528 million*), 22 percent higher than the same quarter last year, and operating profit of 18.2 billion yen ($184 million), 3 percent higher than the same quarter of the previous year. DeNA concluded a successful fiscal year with record-high 202.5 billion yen in revenue ($2.04 billion) and 76.8 billion yen in operating profit ($775 million), up 38 and 28 percent respectively.

For a company of this magnitude, "the global leader in mobile Internet services".. frankly, it's inexcusable.

I think it might be time to try and make a connection with Hasbro and get the license taken away from them. Transformers is an IP that deserves better. Far, far better.
