You know, I see both sides on this.

While I am a moderate spender (is it sad that $200 a week is moderate?!?), I've seen where this game is headed for the last month or so. I did ask Mobage for a refund for Full Assault ($300), and only Full Assault, because of all the bugs, and I think justly so. There were simply too many issues in that episode for it to be fun, and they directly impacted my ability to finish in the top tier. Now what's sad is that I didn't ask for money back, all I wanted was my refund in Mobacoins! They still would get to keep the money. Mobage, after two emails and a few days, finally got back to me and pretty much told me to go F myself. I took it to Apple, haven't heard back yet. I tried to do things the right way, and I accept that this is where I've chosen to spend some money. Perhaps if Mobage had ANY customer service, so much of this could have been avoided. But we all knew that going in... And here I am spending money again this week. I'm fully aware of Mobage's business tactics, and it is a choice. But when the quality isn't there, companies should stand by their product.

If Apple offered me the same deal as War, would I take it? Yeah, I think any one of the spenders here would. And let's be frank. Most of us aren't ready to quit, yet. But despite us knowing what a horrible waste of money this all is, the game this month is not the same game we were all having fun with a couple months ago. Mobage has gotten too greedy. My cards aren't worth what they were basically promised to be. Many of us should have a kick ass deck, and instead Mobage keeps moving the goalposts... DRASTICALLY. They've gone from unhelpful to flat out predatory. So I don't really blame those who took the money and ran either ;)  But I'm still here, and I want to keep playing (albeit, this was my last big cash episode for a bit, depending on how the game continues sliding).

War, I certainly don't mind you stopping by, but then again you've been a fixture around here and frankly I was curious to know how your endgame turned out. Others, especially those who seem to quit and come back every week, who have had serious problems and continue to play, or have had refunds then ask for another refund the next time they spend money, it's just too much. There comes a point in time where the people sitting in the traffic jam just want you to jump off the bridge already so they can drive home ;)

So I'm pretty much with GoC on this one, though understanding runs on both sides. Could we maybe condense the "I'm quitting" threads into one... y'know, just so we know which allies to remove? ;)
