Why is everything to pass new levels

Is anyone else in the same position and feel like me, sides games should be fun and achievable for all. OK I have to apologise @QueenB my Moaning Minnie Pinny is working overtime and it really isn't something I want to keep doing. But it comes to something when you're at the top of the map and the most fun you get in the game is logging in and sending lives to friends. Why is it that just about everything in my game is only doable by passing new levels. Surely the team who deal with these things can think of something more imaginative and fun. Oh and I don't mean Leaderboards, they're 2nd worse to having to keep passing new levels when you don't have many. Where is Bash for Bars and Pot of Gold, at least they are one player games and worthwhile prizes. Yes you will notice Ready, Steady, Win isn't showing, that's because all I got was the pop up but not the actual game. Not that I'm complaining about that as being another Leaderboard game I wouldn't have bothered 😒

Thanks @Alienscar I know that we've had them for years and each time we moan about them. But it seems that's all they can think of now. I also understand that - or am I just being hopeful again - that it probably won't change. But to have every game and other things in my Event's filled with needing to pass new levels is so boring and unimaginative. Like I said above we do/have, had side games like Bash for Bars, Pot of Gold, Don't Feed the Troll and others. So there are side games they can give that mixes with those needing to pass new levels. So my main gripe is that 'everything' I have at the moment is to pass new levels, let's mix it up a bit and get some fun back. Your reply on page 7 of the linked thread was to Crazy Cat Lad, wonder if he's still heading the games team, if so he should know better.

I guess Candy Crush being a match three game limits what mechanics can be incorporated into a feature/event @Carol-38
As for the features that you mention (Pot of Gold, etc) I also find these boring and that is something else I have fed back directly to King.
I haven't got come and get me or dice of destiny in my game and to be honest I am glad. The animations associated with Destiny are some of the most time consuming yet.
Personally I wish King would stop all of these features and just give every player the Season Pass. Without producing the multitude of mind numbingly tedious features that they can only deliver to a minority of players they should just save server space and dump the lot for Season Pass.
Cat Lad never knew better when he was Manager of this forum, I don't expect he got better after he left. Overall I doubt he has much creative input into what constitutes a feature/event.

🤣Believe me @Alienscar I wish I didn't have Come get me or Dice of Destiny either, haven't got a clue what they are about, not playing today, but I don't think they offer much. I know you find Pot of Gold boring, but at least that is a one player game that gives gold bars like Bash for Bars, and they are becoming more and more necessary for everyone. So at least we know we would have the chance to earn some, even more so after seeing what is happening in the Episode/Champions Race with gold.
Yes I hope that everyone gets Seasons Pass and it stays, but that alone isn't enough for what is required in a lot of levels nowadays, even with Sweet Cinema, Daily Treat Machine and the 'Dare You' game that they call Chocolate Box. So I think they could think of other ways for players to get gold bars, other than paying. Either that or re-look at how impossible they are making so many levels, as even those willing to pay will get bored and just give up, so even more money lost. Or is it just a case of use all your gold and boosters players, then decide if you want to pay to carry on or just give up. I'm guessing my last sentence is exactly what King are working on.

Reading all the complaints from people that have completed more than 11,000 levels @Carol-38 I do think that is King's aim with the game at those levels.
It has been said before, and I guess it is true, but King only cares about making money and that is something they seem to get right every year.
I am guessing that all the features that I don't like must actually be working for King from a money making point of view. Candy Royale is, in my opinion, a good example of this. Why persevere with an almost universally disliked feature if it weren't making them money.
So I think they could think of other ways for players to get gold bars, other than paying.
Based on the Chocolate Box and changes to Episode Race it really looks like they are trying hard to limit the amount of gold available to freeloaders.
Whether this is to force players to give up or buy stuff, or maybe make the game more advantageous for those that do pay is anyone's guess.
