Great post SSG1.

A few comments.

1. Sadly this is true, I think most people turn a blind eye to it. The bridge of the last event seemed to be downright theft in that for much less money you could buy chains and fill a deck of SWs that would outperform space bridge draws (if you even were lucky enough to win one). The bridge preys on the uniformed and unintelligent. (and I don’t mean to offend anyone here…)  Developers of these games hate these forums, they hate informed players (which is why you never see official info about these games) and they certainly hate posts like this… heh

2. This is funny to me. A few weeks back there was some up roar on FB over one of War’s scores and the guy called for an audit of top 100 to compare cubes spent vs money spent as scoring was getting far beyond what seemed possible. This board was in outrage about their credit card statements and how this guy had no clue. Ill say again what I said then: Every one of these games has had ingame currency cheat as well as energy/cubes cheats (especially with thing like going in and out of wifi range and what nots and taking advantage of client side vs server side). I asked why care about an audit if everyone was straight up? You make a very good point I didn’t consider. Allowing a few people to raise scores literally forces everyone else to pay to keep up.

3. Ehh. It is what it is. I only spent 1$ before I figured it out. I constantly tried to point this out to others and now I just enjoy the game as free to play at the limits that allows (basically tier 3 and sometimes T2). People don’t want to hear it though.

4. It would certainly be an interesting debate on the legality of this game… I would think it is legal as technically you can play the game for 100% free and then people choose to spend money (not required). Like I said, interesting topic.

5. “Badly Overpriced” doesn’t even do it justice. People spend more on some episodes than next gen systems cost, than a year of mmorpg subscriptions cost, than dozens of Xbox/PS3 games cost than season tickets to sporting events cost, etc. etc. You could be getting a handful of masterpiece transformers each event or start yourself one hell of a G1 collection from ebay with the money being spent here…  Blind eye here again… Like you said, check your cc bills, be honest with yourselves.

6. The big draw to this “game” is the subject (transformers) and the nostalgia that goes along with. But yeah, its not much of a “game” as it simply requires time/clicks/money… rinse / repeat. I do enjoy it from a free to play basis though. Lets be honest… if it wasn’t fun, there wouldn’t be 50-80K people in each event right?

Good luck man. Hopefully the lessons learned here will help in the future.

Any new player… I would strongly recommend taking to heart what SSG1 said above before you start running up those CC bills.
