No Longer Fun!! I Stopped Buying Gold/Boosts August 1st & Now I'm Stuck On Lvl 2434!!!

Buy, buy, buy! Spend, spend, spend!!

Candy Crush is now a money pit that I can no longer justify paying into! This has killed the joy of the game!

It's honestly sad that Candy Crush is extremely dependent on buying gold bars/boosts to advance! I totally understand collecting funds to help developers stay afloat and all, however, this game is beyond GREEDY now! I've played the same level 50+ times and all it wants me to do is SPEND to advance!! On July 31st, I had a win streak of 607 and I don't even want to know how much I spent to maintain it, but I walked away on August 1st. I hated to lose my streak, but I wanted to see how far I'd get without paying a dime. Now, I'm stuck on 2434 & getting offered 125 moves for $1.99/10 gold bars. This ridiculous and I regret falling into the micro-transaction trap for so long!!!

I'm not asking to have zero cost, just make it worth our while!!!

Welcome! 👋

I totally agree with you here. I have been playing for many years and until about a year ago I used to spend small amounts because some of the deals were value for money, meaning that they would actually help you get back on a win streak and advance in the game, enjoy the game again when you were stuck. THIS IS NO LONGER THE CASE. Now I advise players to NEVER spend real money on this game, because it is just a bottomless pit. If you have run out of gold then I advise you to quit this game. If it isn't fun playing any more then I advise you to quit this game. Get out NOW!

What you're saying is exactly what King wants. Evidently you fell into their trap. Once you pay real money for boosters/gold/lives, King takes away your ads. They figure you'll keep buying.

Sorry this happened to you. After a few months you may get your ads back.

Please let everyone know that this is what happens when you pay real money in this "free" game.

Have a happy Sunday, y'all!

Right!! I honestly don't mind supporting developers because nothing is free! However, the level of greed that has come to pass lately feels like we are paying a toll just to advance! The boosts mean almost nothing now!! I'll never make it to that high of a level at this rate.

Exactly the same here. I buy stuff here and there to support the game and 3 weeks ago I bought boosters 3 days in a row, now I no longer get ads before a game starts to help with a booster nor do I get the hot air balloon anymore. I’m on level 9000 something and just stuck. Running out of time on every contest because I refuse to go back to earlier levels just to win.but I constantly get pop up ads wanting me to buy boosters. Everyone has complained and yet nothing has been done about it. You would think they would like to keep their paying customers and upper level players. Nope!!! I refuse to pay another cent till they bring back the ads and helpful boosters!!!

Got Booster Wheel Jackpot, But It Didn't Include the 15min UFO
I got the booster wheel spin jackpot today, and it looks like it's supposed to include everything that shows on the wheel. However, there was no 15 min unlimited UFO blaster (it showed it in the graphic showing you won the jackpot, but it was not in my boosters). Is this a known issue or just a one off glitch?
Question
what is this and how to use it, please
Is this a sign of madness?
Here we go: I finished the impossible event. It must be a sign of madness that I felt compelled to finish it. I got some fancy earmuffs as well: This account will take a well deserved break now. As a free treat: the Concert Chaos event is gone!
