changes that might lose player's interest in playing candy crush

Hello @Mindey I haven't been playing Candy Crush for that long, so I have never seen the option to change the board. Even though I have never seen it I can fully understand how beneficial something like that must have been. I can't really think of any good reason for King to remove this helpful feature from the game. As you say King seem to have lost all sense of what their customers want, and I don't see how it would harm them to bring back the board preview feature.

Fairness is a funny thing and changes based on individual circumstances. The Piggy Bank is a good example of this. I have never seen the sixty gold bar Bank in my game and I only became aware of it after people started to complain about its loss. From my point of view then I did not find it fair that people were getting twice as much gold as me for the same cost. Maybe King were trying to be fair by doing away with this discrepancy, but I can't help thinking that from a customer point of view the best change would have been to give everyone the 60 gold bar Piggy Bank.

It might not come to anything Mindey, but if you would like to see something similar to the board cgange option there is an idea running in the idea area that you might like to vote on. Here is a link to it.

@Alienscar- 'change the board' meant that you could open a level and, as long as you didn't make a move, you could quit and it didn't cost you a life. It was very useful when you had win streak boosters, as you could keep quitting a level until the boosters were lined up in a useful fashion- typically CB+CB or CB+wrapper. It is a shame King got rid of that ability, but i remember at the time it was claimed it was in response to player feedback. That explanation was pure, Grade-A bullplop!

Man I can't believe that the board change feature was labelled a glitch, so that it could be fixed.

Funny how they always seem to fix the 'glitches' that benefit the players quickly whilst real glitches such as server errors, Episode Race, and lost Facebook friends go on for months

The fact that the board change being removed generated more pages of comments than Khloe and LeBron combined speaks volumes.

@sloindwn I wish I had an answer for you. It is apparent from all of the posts like yours that something has changed and King has decided to add random players to the Leader Boards/Weekly Contest of those that play through Facebook. There has been no explanation or announcement for this change, but it is plainly unpopular.

I suppose if everyone that had posted on this site about the addition of random players to their Weekly Contest had contacted King instead then maybe something might have been done about the change. King being King and tone deaf to their customers requirements I doubt it though.
