What happened? Feels like there is a civil war going on.

Anyways. I did not quit, I resigned because of my new job. I would not be able to devote the same time that I once did to be a regular Tier 2 player so I even gave my deck to someone who could put it to good use. I'm now in Canada, originally from California.

I think that GoC's example of asking for a refund because of a burger that has mustard does not correctly apply to what has been going on. I think it more of people asking for a refund because they paid for a beef patty with their burger and yet it is horse meat. If I want horse meat then I'll pay for horse meat but if I am buying what is being advertised as beef patty and getting mystery meat instead, then yes, I do want my money back.

Some people come back because of the nostalgia and the memories built with the current people and the fun they remembered. No different then the burger joint, but how many times are we going to accept being sold a burnt burger and just accept it as is. The place was not always like that and we keep coming back and hoping that things will get better. There are only so many times that we can accept getting "burned" before it is just too much to swallow.

I understand not wanting people to come back to harp on the negativity while there are still others trying to enjoy the game. However, I feel that these "I quit" post are a precaution or warning to those who are new so that they know completely what they are getting into before they waste their time and money. It is no different then leaving a bad review. I would want to know all the basis before becoming a customer, paid or not. People do not necessarily pay money to be competitive, they pay to be a part of a great experience to enjoy something that was deeply rooted in their younger years of "fun". People pay certain amounts to either gain the card they love or to gain an advantage. If you paid and lost out then no refund, but if you paid and lost out due to the companies lack of "quality product" then you deserve compensation.

I do not feel that anyone has been left a "check" to pay. The gameplay has changed so drastically that allies that were of great help and importance are not even essential to the game anymore. It's just back to the grind as usual.

I still come back because of the great community. I give out strategies to those who want it, nothing public tho since Mobage likes to take away these advantages. I find it funny that some people are put off by my methods because it feels like "cheating" to them. It is no different then race teams using every loop hole they can find in the rule book to give them a winning advantage. Once those loop holes are found out, rules are changed after the races or even seasons to nullify those advantages. You just change with it. That was the whole point of this game that really made it fun, finding strategies and loop holes that gave you an advantage. What was unfair was that the rules were being changed by Mobage during the game as they saw fit. Any advantage was quickly taken away after the first day to make Reward cards and Raid cards useless to make this "free" game a "pay to win" game. This is not a way to treat customers; especially any complaints about bugs and other issues which led to a wide belief that these events were not even tested before they were rolled out.

I was happy with my burger joint and food. Things were not always perfect but I never really complained about it either which prolly lead to the place doing the same mistakes over and over. When I did go to them with my complaints, each time they pointed that I was the problem, until they had no more explanations and just asked me to file a form about what is wrong. No apology or anything and I still kept coming back. I would complain more if I did not keep mooching off of their free "samples" that kept me coming back but I expect better if I paid for something. There are even state and federal laws to protect the consumer from companies cheating their customers or not giving them what was advertised. People do not just quit because of one bad experience or even several, but because the company has done nothing to resolve their issues which leads to anyone wanting a refund on this "failed" product.
