Had to step away from the forum - ironically not because of the negativity, but rather the unrealistic positivity that only served to discredit my negativity - negativity that was in fact intended to spur the game into a direction of more positivity. But good luck organizing a playersā rights union when half the posters seem to enjoy being abused by the game. At a certain point, one begins to questionā¦ āis it just me?ā
I mean, I know itās not just me. Rest of my alliance feels the same. But none of them have taken the time to post here. None of them care enough to post here. To them, itās just a game. Theyāll play as long as itās fun, and uninstall once it ceases to be so.
Of course itās ājust a gameā to me as well. But itās a game that I invested quite a bit of time and money into. If I had thought that Iād ever reach a point of seriously considering uninstalling, I never would have bought any of those stupid gem and VIP deals, I never would have wasted all that time leveling up all these heroes, I never would have created a forum account. I invested a bit of myself into this game, expecting that I would eventually be rewarded for my time and efforts.
Iām not so sure anymore. 
It is, after all, ājust a gameā. And I shouldnāt expect it to reward me, regardless of whether Iāve been playing for 2 days or 2 years. Grind, grind, grindā¦ surely after you grind the same province for the 10,000th time, you get a new 5* hero, yes? No? Oh, right, thatās still RNG. What are the odds again? Right, less than 2%. Seems absurdly low, yes? No? Everyone else thinks thatās cool? Oh okay then. Guess Iāll just see myself outā¦
Iām still playing. Just not wanting to post much here anymore, because every time I try to point out that the odds are horrible, someone else comes in with a fantastic āI just pulled a HotM on my HotM!ā or āI just pulled 5 old HotMs from ToL in a 10 pull!āā¦ like all ākeep on believing!ā rainbows and unicorns and well now donāt I just feel like an idiot.
It took me 6 months to pull my first 5* hero. At that point, I had already spent close to $100 USD. So yes, Iām in that unique minority group who persisted anyway. IDK, I guess I was hoping that some day, theyād increase the summoning odds for old heroes or somethingā¦ crazy idea, right? 
My good manā¦ I already have more than one account. My F2P alts are on a fast course to catching up to my main.
A couple of them have better luck than others, for sure. But regardless: overall, I have seen the reality. Grind for gems, coins, tokens, whatever.
2/3 of the timeā¦ you will summon a season one 3* hero.
Regardless of portal.
Trying to imagine a future where I have 30+ maxed legendary heroes, with level 30 4* troopsā¦ this is not a metric that can be measured in days. Or weeks, or even months. Itās measured in years. A long enough period of time that Iām forced to question not only if Iāll still be interested in the game at that point, but also have to seriously consider whether or not SG themselves will still be interested in keeping the servers up.
Begs a serious question. Is it even worth it to continue? Especially seeing as how the devs themselves donāt really seem to care about anyone but the big short term spenders. Am I just wasting my time here?
Been more than just a bad dayā¦
When I first came to this forum, I found fun, frivolity, lots of good helpful information (along with a fair dose of very bad information, unfortunately)ā¦
Lots of people have said theyāve stopped posting or stopped reading because of the ānegativityāā¦ but letās be brutally honest here. The negativity was warranted. SG has ā ā ā ā ā ā up a bunch of ā ā ā ā , when they had all sorts of opportunities to make the game better for everyone. I still held onto hope, thinking that if enough people vented on the forum, they might start to listen. Instead, my very blunt criticisms are met with a bunch of āI think the game is neat! Itās so cool that they give us all this great stuff for free! Everyone be happy!ā
As long as the devs believe that weāre all happy with the way things are, as isā¦ as long as people keep spending money the way they have beenā¦ absolutely nothing is going to change. And if nothing is going to change, there is no point in me (or anyone else for that matter) posting our objections here.
Game is what it is, take it or leave it. Thatās fine, I can accept that. But it also means that the majority of my posts here are completely without purpose. Lots of sound and fury, signifying nothing, and accomplishing even less than nothing.
I love the fun parts of the forum, but I cannot simply ignore the inequities and absurdities that I see in the world around me. And that goes for the game itself, as insignificant as it is in the grand scheme of thingsā¦ I cannot in good conscience continue to support a game that spends whatā¦ 2 years??? working on something that is supposed to be somewhat āF2P/C2P friendlyāā¦ and whatās the final result? A giant turd that hardly benefits anyone at all. Meanwhile, they somehow have the time to develop a new cash grab feature every month with equally ridiculously low oddsā¦ and somehow the majority of the forum just says āthis is okayā???
They tell me Iām spoiled, Iām greedy, Iām just a freeloader, a complainerā¦ man, Iāve put more than enough time and money into this game. Iām sorry if I expected something more for my money. Apparently itās now normal to pay a game company $500 for a decent āchanceā at unlocking one small feature of that game. And when I call ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā on that? A hoard of big spending game defenders descend upon me.
Not only canāt I defeat these guys in my Watchtower, now theyāre stealing hams and irons from my forum posts as well.
ā¦
No, I havenāt āofficiallyā left the forum for good, yet. Just seriously questioning whether or not I should continue posting here, since after all,

Itās a private alliance, and we put up a 4k trophy requirement to block random requestsā¦ Iāll probably still occasionally check the forum.
Canāt remember, are you part of FTP Rebellion?

You can still chat with me there. Iāll still check in here on the forumā¦ just going to limit my postings on the public discussions because Iām tired of trying to argue with people who will never be able to understand my point of view.

It is a common thing to say at times like this, that youāre not the only one who feels that way. Personally, Iāve NEVER found that sentiment comforting. The opposite, actually. Ah, Iām suffering, but - GOOD NEWS - others are also suffering. There is more total suffering in the world that you might not have been thinking about until this moment! Nope. That doesnāt do it for me.
Anyway, whether it helps or hurts, you are definitely not the only person who feels this way. I know Iāve cut back on my posting and forum interaction in general (and am also playing the game less / differently). Even the mighty zephyr bot is having a moment. Weāre all struggling to find the right balance in our lives right now, whether that be the game, the forum, or how much pizza we consume.
Be well.

I do find comfort from the fact that others share my sentiments, and I find threads like this to be a nice oasis from the craziness that is in other parts of the forums.
Itās great to get away from the hyper-competitiveness (even in discussions and debates, where some people seem to insist on always being correct!) that I see in some other threads.
In any case - glad youāre finding some safe spaces here @TGW and youāre definitely not alone, Iāve had to take breaks from some parts of the forum, too!

So initially I thought that was a bat and on first glance I thought it was a swing and a wiff. But then realized it was a bokken and looked like he took the phone out of the protective case (or just the cover off of the batteries).
Not enough, he could go and get a different phone and download the game and play again. Deleting/uninstalling the game is not enough because you might come back to it again after a few days/weeks. You might want to at least do what Klin did to his roster by feeding all his maxed heroes to 1* heroes, 4* troops to 1* Troopsā¦ That was pretty finale thing to doā¦ But he could choose to come back one day, and if he does, at least he will have a pretty buff Aife and some pretty high leveled 1* Troops.
