Candy crush after more money

It may not be obvious to most players but King have recently made the game vigorously more difficult to complete levels by significantly reducing the number of moves available at the same time reducing rewards such as the Pig going down from 60 bars to 30 bars at the same price, boosters (Magic Dash) going back to zero after one failed level etc. Take for example level 3791. The original level had 30 moves now it is reduced to the low 20's. Same applies to most levels. Personally this for me is a big game changer. I have stopped playing. Its unclear to their motive, they wouldn't explain publicly anyway (oh...we want to make it more challenging for players, yeah sure!!!, whatever) but I suspect they see revenue falling and are locking in the gamblers based on what their machine learning algorithms are telling them. Sad...if you feel compelled to keep buying in a much reduced format then you are the pawn in the game...maybe its time you rethought King and Candy Crush and decided time to move on...as I have after years of dedication. I will be posting this on many other sites as I am 100% certain the moderator will remove my thread.

Hi Michael, I am not a moderator so this message will not be deleted by me. I hear you and empathize with you. I am a King Superstar and that means that I am just a volunteer who comes here daily to help the players with their issues. If it's a glitch due to more than a couple of people complaining about the same thing, I can then elevate it to a King Admin who will then report it to the studio. Unfortunately, I am not privy to what goes on behind the scenes so I don't know how they determine these changes. But I can promise you one thing today! I am going to take your message and pass it along to a King Admin and hopefully they do not delete your message because you are just a frustrated player who has been playing the game for enjoyment but now find it difficult to do that with all the changes. Thank you for writing your frustrated feelings here.

I agree with Michael. Gold bars are much more expensive. If you exit before playing you now lose a life. If you kill the game you lose your helmet. The levels are much harder. I was happy to spend money however the fun is gone. Some of these levels you have to buy your way through. I think Kink is trying for one last hurrah before killing off the game. Quality control is no longer there - today I finished 3817 and it did not record it.

Hi Robert P, I don't know where you are playing the game but I saved a message from a player who wrote this:
The workaround is if you play in airplane mode you can quit and refresh the game and keep boosters. Also, you can back out of the level before you make a move and keep boosters. When I do this, it's back to the way it used to be for me.
You might want to give that a try to see if it works.

Just to add insult to injury my favourite ‘c’ levels have been erased and now I can’t receive bonsuses. Much to Kings disappointment as much as I was spending $20 per week on boosters etc I haven’t spent a cent in weeks and will never spend again. WElk done King but you loose on my discretionary income.

And my final comment. Made it to level 3865. Goodbye candy crush. You are now deleted from my iPhone X. Such a shame you had to change the game so ruthlessly just to try and get more coin from me when you were doing so well.
