Best Of

I have the same question. I'm worried that if I wait, the event will disappear from my account. The terms don't mention anything about a deadline for joining the round, do they?

I'm hoping to be able to shed some light on this later. I am as undecided as you are at this time.

Let me first say that I do not begrudge the creators of this game the need to monetize the game. It wasn't built for free, but many of us play it for free. This is about transparency and understanding your own choices. You will hit levels from time to time, I call them "speed bumps" that seem impossible, without "gold" or other assets to pass. Try it for 25 times, you will eventually pass. The goal of these levels is to shake out the people who have grown sufficiently addicted to the game to acquiesce and finally spend some money on upgrades. Fair enough. Level 1715 is a wall. It is mathematically impossible, or at least highly improbable, that you can pass this level without enhancements or buying continued turns. If you hit it with sufficient resources, good for you, but if not, you shall not pass (yes, a LOTR quip, good for you, nerds). There are likely many similar levels, and again, I am not criticizing the developers-they owe us nothing. It's just good to understand the math involved. If you wish to make a purchase, and can afford such frivolity, good for you. Just don't think its random. This is a very clever application of psychological principles. These hard stops are there to sort out the addicted and get them to spend money. Brilliant, really, and utterly fair. But as the consumer, it's good know what is at play. At least improve upon your intelligence if you wish to spend money on make-believe things. That's my rant, they will probably delete it, also their right. For my part, 1715 is the end of the road. I am obligated to thank the developers for a fun ride, but you don't get my money. Cheers, John
