1) I wasn't aware that they already have adds. I don't know which platform you use but I use iOS and there aren't any. That being said, we also don't get free coins.

2) Even if L8s didn't drop, that would be a disadvantage across the board. People would still be able to advance relative to other players. The only reason free players can't advance on their own is because people pay to get an advantage.

3) I'm not saying that Mobage hasn't messed up. As a matter of fact, I fully support most of the complaints filed against this particular event. However, I do feel that if you think they are simply ripping you off event after event, then you should simply stop paying. I have less sympathy for someone who complains about getting ripped off but keeps spending eventhough the problem isn't fixed.

4) I also think there are some things which are permissible and some that are not. For exmaple, what happened to SSG and others is absolutely undismissible. they should have had a backup of user data at least for paying customers. However, I believe that mobage has been fair in posting reward stats and bridge probabilities. If you choose not to look at those and then complain later, you don't have much ground. Outside of proof that they lied, there is not much of a case there.

5) With regards to rule changes, yes, it would be nice if they let us know in advance but I think it is still fair game. When I started playing, many people were complaining that there were breaks between events. Well, without breaks they can't get everything worked out before the next one. Based on what I have read on this very wiki, it seems like they are providing the requested event frequency. I would like to see you produce a perfect game with new content every week. Remember, you can;t have any bugs whatsoever; no excuses.

6) Cool down a bit man. The way you address opposing views you are only building the case against you. If you want to play the name game by calling the rest of us "freeloaders", then be prepared for battle. "Plow over" anyone with a differing opinion? No, but what is right is what is right and that is immutable.

1) I'm on iOS as well and I get AT LEAST one advertisement per day right now for some other Mobage games. In most apps, paying customers don't have to sit through ads. Mobage's ads are as laggy as their app is.

2) As far as L8s not dropping evening the playing field... it's hard to say because such a situation will never happen...

3) Well, I feel like I'm being ripped off now, so I'm no longer paying. What part of that do you think is me asking for it? How long do I have to determine whether I'm being ripped off without being party to the ripping, and who determines what length of time is appropriate? People come to shit when they come to it. This event has pushed me off the deep end.

4) There is actually proof that they lied during the Nemesis Rising event. They admitted the drop rate on the tiers for Silverbolt alt was lower than for the bot... But this was never mentioned publicly, only in an email to a user who complained. It was damned stupid of them to admit that, as it not only exposes fraud, but now leaves open the possibility for people to assume they are acting dishonestly all the time.

5) I don't know where you get your information about drop times. I think the only reason people push for events is because there is less than nothing to do in the game if an event isn't happening, and that's on Mobage. Also, as they are the sole proprietors of the content, they can release it when they want (which SHOULD be after it's been tested). Let's be honest, this is my tenth event, and none of them have been SUBSTANTIALLY different from any of the others, so it's not like they have to work that hard at putting these things together and should have little problem putting out episodes without a laundry list of bugs!!! They don't have to listen to the clamor of players; in fact, I prefer when a company takes its time to give me a quality product as opposed to shipping out rush job after rush job that end up being full of errors. As far as rules changes, when you make them transparently, and are up front with players about them, it garners good will amongst the players instead of the ire they inspire by doing everything from behind the curtain, leaving us to find out about them after the fact. It's just bad business.

6) Maybe YOU need to cool down. My ire is with Mobage, not you. If you read the whole paragraph where I mentioned the "freeloaders" comment you are so up in arms about, you would have realized two things:

a) Everyone in game, including myself, is a "freeloader" at that point, and

b) That was from Mobage's point of view, NOT MINE.

Step back and take a deep breath. And relax...
