Somebody mentioned about just taking being dropped in our stride an try and have fun, but when we're paying a lot of money also it just isn't fun being limited because the big hitters don't want us even though we're hitting for 30 mill + and willing to throw more than one cube at a boss.

I'll be blunt, and I don't care if I annoy some people (cos you've dropped me anyway), but it can be construed as the top players colluding together and imposing a glass ceiling so that other players cannot break through. Thus, the same players are constantly getting the more powerful tier one cards and leaving the rest of us outside the top tier behind. Definitely a vicious cycle and definitely not fun if we want to do better than tier 2 in return for the money we have spent. I guess that is where the difference is. I've been a free player from the start (only because I'm a cheap bastard). Being a free player, I'm happy with anything I get. I still try hard but I know my limits. I've been cut and I've been denied but I'm still clawing my way up.

As soon as money is put into anything, regardless of the amount, everyone wants value back from it. It gets frustrating when the amount you put in does not seem to add any value as deemed by others. We all see now that unless you are willing to spend $1oo-2oo for an event (but also be lucky), then it's hard to be competitive for top tier. Let's face it, we all want to be number 1. Like GoC said, we use every advantage we can get so there "should not" be any hard feelings when "things" are being done. I would ask if things would be any different if you were on top. It's not intentional to hurts feelings.

@Phonso. I say seed regardless if you think the top players would reject it. It's easy points for the higher players if they hit but also helps out your allies everywhere else. Bumbledbee, Odie3974, and Wansanchez good solid posts,thanks for the add by the way Bumbledbee. I do what I can with the 10 bucks i throw into an episode and have fun doing it, making friends, etc. It's a good community. All the top tier guys are having fun as well I'd imagine or they wouldn't be playing. Mobage is trying pull as much as they could from the players by adding more powerful cards than the previous episode to keep that cash flow coming in. Mobage has created that glass ceiling and until top tier says enough is enough the game will be this way so it is what it is, we'll all deal with it. Top tier:  You guys aren't creating the glass ceiling, but you are buying into it to protect your investments and i don't blame you guys. You are big supporters the current structure of the game, just be ready for he next episode which will have a hypothetical episode blur that is somehow way more powerful than the episode jazz, omega supreme, nemisis prime, etc. and you guys will need it, we all need it!. The structure of the game will change when the players change. Springers final thought:  If you have the same amount of people logging in to TFL but not spending as much, who at Mobage headquarters is scratching their head asking themselves how can I get these people to spend more money? All BS aside this is a great game and i'll put what i want to into this game and have fun doing it. Add me if anyone needs a good ally.
