It has been over a year and King still has me in A/B Testing!

@DieOmimi is there anything you can do to get me removed from this testing? I want to help my Dachs team but can't! I refuse to play the game until they remove me from A/B Testing and no one can give a good reason why it exists?

Hi @Boybinary I'm sorry that you've been stuck in the A/B tests for over a year and don't have a DDS. Normally, the test groups are mixed more often. For me, it took 5 months when I was stuck in an A/B test group and had no events. I did nothing but play less back then (which was how I won the 200 level badge later when I was removed from the test group). 😅
Please let me talk to our Community Manager later. She has the same time zone as me. For me, it's half an hour past midnight (Yes, I'm a night owl). 🦉
Me or our community manager will answer you in a few hours and I hope it will be to your satisfaction. I can't (unfortunately) promise anything. 😥

Thanks Ina, hopefully they will remove it entirely! I am wondering when Microsoft purchased the game, they were not privy of the A/B Testing and really don't understand the reasoning behind it, I don't think even king fully understood it! From what I can see it serves no purpose except the fact that it annoys long time players at the end of the map!

Hi @Boybinary! I’m truly sorry for the disappointment this has caused. I completely understand how upsetting it must be, especially since you want to support your team 😓

Unfortunately, we’re unable to remove players from test groups while an experiment is still ongoing. I wish I could provide you with a clear timeline for when the experiment will end, but unfortunately, I don’t have that information. What I can assure you is that these tests are always temporary, and the feature could return to your game at any moment.

instead of the same canned answer why don't you enlighten us on what the "experiment" is all about, and why does it only single out long-time players at the end of the map that have been successful in tournaments and contests? Both games CCS and CCFS have me in this "experiment" over a year, enough already!
