Seems most logical. Mobage has decided to be openly involved in the community surrounding their new cash cow: GI Joe, before the community progresses to the "professional" level of play that TFLs has. Thus lowering the expected levels of hostilities when the fleecing begins under the guise of community involvement to improve the game.

This community already feels "robbed." We have already stated our disdain for the numerous deceptive tactics and boss buffs that occur during events. "Decepti-rob" seems quite cute-sy and fitting as a little stab back.

But fact...no. Speculation...yes.

And as for a few other of my speculations that came to fruition:

1) I mentioned that Super Rare cards that can be sold at an unlimited rate is false advertisement. The next event Episode R4s could only be bought once for $30.

2) A new card that can progress along with the boss creep that I suggested be Legends cards: Mobage has released Evolution cards a month later.

3) I also mentioned that we should cease discussing tactics and strategies openly until we saw a change of heart at Mobage because tactics like "farming" will cease to exist.

I think I have made my point though. I have seen companies handle communities surrounding their games in different manners when they notice that their game isn't being played how they intended. But I have never experienced this facet of treatment to this degree.

I am sure others have also noticed that the more you spend the lower your Super Rare/Episode Rare drop rate becomes.
