20 lives limit/spending money

Is there anything more disappointing than watching the timer count down because you have used up your 20 daily lives but still have lives in your inbox. I still send lives daily to my team but I don't bother asking for any. I find that I am not very interested in playing as much as I used to and I can see that falling even further. My other two games are happy to get the money I used to spend on King games and not restrict my play.
