I would think you are right Prax, simply because of the overall malaise/disquiet in the player base. I'm thinking the campaigns are more about wringing money out of different players than the boss events. Either way, it feels like the game is circling the drain due to recent changes and I hope they can turn it around. Just coercing players to drop $500 on the chance to get Optimus still wouldn't engender much goodwill.

Agreed Hoots, but it wasn't always like this. 2 months ago, you actually got value from your money. People got invested. You could actually play without nickel and diming for every single resource. You suck it up for an event or two thinking that surely these awful changes are just experiments which will fail. I don't mind them tinkering as long as it makes the game a better product. But I'd be surprised if they are still raking in the cash like they were before. Several big spenders are gone. Top tier has seen a lot of fresh names. And scores seem to be dropping. For a 4x MVP event last time, scores were much lower than I thought they would be. I had only a couple million more than For Nemesis, and finished 50 places higher.

I too did enjoy this week. Had family in town, spent lots of time with the kids, took the wife to see Book of Mormon, finally started reading some Game of Thrones, and picked up a couple new 360 games. I'd like a good event tomorrow, but I guess I wouldn't be too sad if I had my life, and money, back again either ;)
