Plus... you feel marginally better if you made your T1 and spent $$$$$ on it.

If this is the view you take AND you take action by choosing not to spend anymore, Mobage may not take action against the exploiters, but we will definitely not feel as bad, and they will just simply not make as much money. It may actually force them to pay closer attention to the exploits to ensure that the game is safer in general.

Inclusive of that, the longevity of your tenure at TFL may lengthen if you are free as you don't have the ugly distaste of continued outdated cards. we all know the cards will continue to become obsolete at a fast rate.

this has been my view for the last 4 months, and to tell you the truth, I'm not as upset about this game anymore, except when i miss tier1 by a narrow margin and i know there must have been hackers in the Top 100.

Note that I am still upset though lol. because even if there are just a handful of hackers. the impact of these people and the additional resources we have to consume to meet our objectives blossom exponentially. this point needs to be made to Mobage by all of us, because they seem to be attempting to limit the compensation by saying that only 10 people or only 5 people did it. it doesn't matter. the competitive nature of these events means that even with that low number, the push to T1 consumes even more resources. and that... is completely unfair. Very well said Pat and may I add the less time u invest the better though you definitely won't win any tier, but u still have the fun of a mobile TFL game for ur free time (either waiting for someone or something). Basically put TFL back to its position as a fun way to fill ur extra time.

I notice this ever since the last raid (which I fail to participate because of work), where I didn't got the opportunity to play TFL like last year. I though I would lose interest because I didn't got to any tier, but apparently it was the opposite..... I made me more interest to play it for fun.

In the end it made me realize that my time is more valuable spend with my family and my money is more valuable spend on real items. Probably not the same for everyone..... Hey I'm just sharing :)
