Here are my screenshots of my inventory @Snow_Rider:
All of it legitimately obtained through careful good play and LOTS of ad watching. I started playing on December 28, 2023. I can assure you that these results can be easily attained without any sort of exploits, not even using weird or unusual strategies. If people like me are being excluded for having an inventory like this, your criteria are unreasonable and unfair. I have played normally; there is no justifiable reason for me to be excluded.
I might also mention that @Colleen Companion Welsh has accumulated even more gold bars than I have (somewhere around 44,000), again through perfectly normal play with no exploits of any kind. So mine is not even the most extreme example. Her account has apparently also been excluded unfairly.
It looks like the system is working sporadically, and unfortunately, it may also impact players with high inventory 😓 I totally understand your feelings — players who have worked hard to save boosters should not be affected.
Right now, we’re gathering feedback from affected players to ensure the Studio is fully aware of the situation.
Thanks for the details! Just to clarify, one possible reason you might not be seeing All Stars is due to A/B testing. In any case, I have all the information needed to share with the Studio. Appreciate your input!
Thank you very much, @Snow_Rider , for your attention to this. Any updates you might get would be greatly appreciated.
Hello @Snow_Rider.
Thank you very much for clarifying the possible reasons for excluding players.
Since I have nothing to hide, I'm also posting images of my inventory below. Everything was earned in a completely legitimate way, mainly with a lot of dedication to the game (I started preparing for AllStars in May 2024) and some viewing of ads, mainly to pass some super difficult levels.
I also don't think it's reasonable to be excluded for this reason. If by chance, there is a reasonable inventory value to be able to enter, then I give my full consent to remove from my account the gold bars and boosters that you consider to be fair for participation in the event. This rule must be clarified and applied to everyone without exception so that there are no injustices.
I hope you get good news from the Studio.
Kind regards
@Snow_Rider It's seems to me that there's no reason to show my inventory on this forum its none of people's business. Obviously king has lied about they don't know what boosters we have because if they didn't there's no reason for us to be banned on the amount of inventory we have. Basically they know and if we have worked hard to legally build up our boosters they hold it against us. I knew they would come back with the AB testing group as an excuse as well. Me and @Boybinary have been in the testing group for year's. So it never changes. You asked to see our inventory why? King already know or else we wouldn't be banned so showing it to you wouldn't matter. Anyway I am definitely unhappy with the information you shared .
@Snow_Rider The system is not working sporadically it was program to do this and I'm sure the only thing that can be done is for them to manually add the players here to get us to shut up. So if I don't post my inventory it will not be corrected? If we did show our inventory them the answer will be the usual ITS A TEST GROUP. I wish you had not answered the question about why we are banned it just boils my blood.
I agree 100% @cookiemae The A/B test has been a scam from the very beginning King uses it to discipline players at the top that have spent their time gathering gold and boosters so they can be competitive when tournaments come around, it should be illegal and we really should start a class action suit, I believe it is criminal in what they are doing. Bottom line the only way to win a tournament is tons of boosters period. Anybody tells you anything other they are lying to you and themselves. And to prove a point I wasted all of my boosters and will start with none, can I play now!
I agree that players do need a ton of boosters to win the tournament. Because even if all players started off with no boosters and zero gold, there would be enough hopefuls prepared to spend whatever money they have to buy whatever is needed to win:
By my rough calculations to win the final round the winner will probably need to play 4 episodes per hour for 24 hours, that is 1440 levels to win the last stage. I know there are many different ways to speed crush, but one easy and pretty foolproof way is to use one single party popper per level at the best possible moment, which will easily pass just about any level in the earlier part of the game. To purchase these would cost 30,000 gold bars. The best offer in my game is 1000 gold for £99.99. Assuming that players are clever and/or lucky enough to actually get to the last round without spending anything, I would suggest that the minimum spend to be able to compete in the final leaderboard would be about £3000.
I only have 22,000 gold, so it's probably not enough.
