Do levels get harder if you buy boosters?

Before I paid for boosters I could pass up to 50 levels a day before but now I get stuck on a level for days. I have been stuck on Level 8306 for two weeks. A friend passed 7000 when I passed 8000. Now he is ahead of me. Maybe he buys boosters? The level of difficulty I face is perceptibly harder since I bought boosters. Has anyone else experienced that? I write to King but they say my theory is wrong: they have no way to make individual difficulty harder so my theory is wrong. So, how come I rarely pass a level first time, I regularly have to spend over 200 lives to pass a level and I barely ever win gold bar challenges. I can play the game: I got to level 8306, after all, the level of difficulty I face is perceptibly higher and all that changed was I paid for boosters and lost access to free boosters to the level I had had before.

Hi there. This is a very good question you ask here. I have been trying to figure out for some time now why some players have harder games than others. I think it is probably NOT related to whether you buy boosters or not. I think what King are doing is to allocate different groups of players to either easy or hard algorithms, mostly by manipulating how long it takes until you get a "lucky board" to let you pass the more difficult levels, and also by giving them different events or different sub groups of events. They then analyse which combinations makes most players part with their money or use up their gold reserves and juggle the gameplay around that. It's all one big test. Certainly a lot of players have noted that their free adverts disappear after they have spend money to buy boosters. But apart from that, I'm not sure I have found any evidence of it influencing what your game is like. It seems more like the luck of the draw.

Yes. I think they put you on “do not pass until money spent again” algorithm so you lose all the boosters and level get harder until you spend and can pass couple of levels with gold bought and then back to very difficult to pass level.

Christinewupp’s comment got me thinking: i used to get lots of boosters from adverts but those all stopped after I paid for boosters that one time period I was chasing levels. Do others still get boosters and lives via adverts? I want those back!!

There have been countless reports here in the community that after making a purchase adverts disappear from player's game. It's ridiculous but that is quite clearly what King do. You can't do anything to get them back, but sometimes they do return eventually. You could try to clear your cookies. I twice got adverts in a game after having gone into settings on my device and pressed "Clear history and website data" for Safari (Apple device). I'd love to know if this works for anyone else.
