Agreed with all points GOC. This was fun at first because it was after all it's Transformers, which we all pretty much loved since kids. That part will always be awesome along with the G1 artwork.

But yes, with the way that Mobage treats it's paying customers, they're pretty much taking advantage of the whole Transformers franchise and milking money from players willing to pay whatever it takes to be competitive.

Problem is, they realize that once the top players leave, new ones will come and replace them before catching on to the glitches during events, power creeps, and tier pricing "discount" fluxuations. By then, they'll have their money and the players will have nothing to show for it. Seems like they would rather risk getting boatloads of money than listen to the customers that are willing to pay and willing to continue to pay if they actually paid attention to them.

I've concluded that the power creep will probably always happen to keep the game relevant and I almost got sucked in to paying lots of $$$ to get past that free/low paying player platau (even though I haven't spent anywhere close to the top guys; this was the first app I actually started spending real money on).

I'm probably just going to hit 2 mill, get my cards from the rewards and just go to casual play for each event. After all I've seen the way Mobage treats their paying customers and seeing the top guys leave, I don't really want to get that much deeper into this game.
