Well. I might as well make it official.

I started playing pretty much long time ago (long in app time at least). My first event was Countdown to Extinction, where i didnt know what the fuck i am doing so i was 3 cubing all, and when i check cubes i was always in positive. Found out later i got back cubes for points, well, when i say later i mean when i run out of cubes. Still managed to win a Reflector card.

Next event was Day of dinobots part 2, where armed with experience i aimed for T3 but ended in T2, so with massive snipe range of 2m i sniped my ass off and tagged Grimlocks for points. That was my first T2 finish, and i made 9m points. From then i was hooked. Then i found out the chat in wikia and great people that were probbly the only reason i made it this far.

Scored T2s in all raids since then. With ease i made T2s so i tried to find a way to t2 with least time and effort invested. Yes, i am lazy, i admit. Made lazy T2 an art form.

What i miss the most was old system of raid where allies made a difference, when last few hours of raid event, chat had 20 people in, and Wardeal, Masa, Thunderclonus, GoC, and whoever i forgot, were kicking out allies who are safe in ranks and helping people who needed points to get over the cutoff line by using targeted seeds. That was cooperation, i loved that last few hours of raid events.

But as it always goes with this games, dont fix unless you really need to, and milk it for all its worth, a lot of players were chased away. New event types were made with shitty mechanics, dont make me start on TvT and teams i got. Game burnout is a high occurrence and powercreep was killing the fun.

Only step left was to T1 an event where i am not dependent on others (like TvT), or chains (camp event), so raid it is. I am gonna do it by my own effort. And with latest changes to the game and rumors of game going down it was now or never. Got luck on the day 1 draw and pulled 4 FM alts and 1 bot. That was the breaking point, went at it all the way. Played a lot, killed myself for 6 days but even with a device handicap I managed a T1 finish with a good rank of 30.

With mobage customer support that would make SS officer green with envy, problematic app, boring events that need hours and hours of endless grind, and so much players leaving.... plus my last milestone done, i am not looking forward to try it again. I reached the ceiling with free play, kinda proud of not spending on this game at all.

Game lost all its appeal for me. So much free time now for movies, series, games and stuff.

Still gonna hang around the community. Gonna lurk in the chatroom and on GoC's site.

Stay cool people, and best luck on raiders in medals.
