I started playing this game about a month ago. I've always been a Transformers fan I live card games (any games in general). After getting hooked early on I found myself obsessing over this game. I'd do the dishes while playing. I'd brush my teeth while playing. I'd wake up in the middle of the night to play. This is not healthy behavior. This is the behavior of an addict, an obsessive compulsive, and gambler. I used to play in gaming tournaments for rare cards, miniatures, merchandise, and money. I missed the rush and excitement of competing in tournaments so I naturally latched into this game. Enough is enough though. The time and money it takes to reach T1 is just too high. The structure of the game really allows Mobage to take advantage of its customer base when they should be cultivating a great player experience and customer service. Here is what I enjoy about the game:

- The art - The game interface - The interaction with other players

Here's what I dislike:

- The price of random characters and weapons in the space bridge. - No "sell all" button. - No special powers or features outside of the episode multipliers. - The limited cubes and Energon rewarded back. - The limited space in player's accounts for cards. - All the bugs found in each episode. - Waking up to see that I've dropped 100-300 positions in rank. - Realizing each episode that no matter how I play or how many cubes I have I STILL need to spend more money. - That Mobage can change things intentionally or unintentionally about the game at any moment. - That any number of players could be hacking the system and cheating while the rest are paying more money to rank higher.

The more I play the more the game feels like a casino. It's an instant cash grab, preying on my baser emotions. The game relays on high numbers because the human brain wasn't meant to calculate large numbers in general. It's there to confuse us and take advantage of the fact. I want to relax again. I want to look around send enjoy life again. I don't want to play this game again.
