Timed boosters

I really dislike the timed boosters.  I expect it's because King wants to have people spend $$ to buy them rather than allowing people to earn them.  They briefly ran commercials while playing that allowed you to get the boosters in exchange for watching a commercial.  That was ok, if a bit annoying, but I am not going to buy any sort of package of boosters.  

Many  of the timed boosters won’t run on the level I’m playing on and are very short in duration. Really really dislike this. Much rather have the commercials if King wants the revenue. 

Hi there new to this community but I’ve been playing for a few years, currently at level 3330 & play on an iPad.

I used to buy the occasional piggy bank (I limited myself to once a month) when they were worth 60 Gold Bars but when they reduced the number to 30 I stopped. It seems as though King heeded in part the negative feedback that generated & put it up to 45. The trade off for that concession it would now appear is timed Boosters which I absolutely loathe!

I fully understand  the methods they employ to try & entice players to spend money very much “carrot & stick.” I’m sure I’m not alone in feeling that long term players are really treated in a very shabby way, of course they’re in it to make as much money as possible but do they really have to be so obvious!

Most of the recent levels I have completed have far too few available moves & you just have to keep playing them over & over until you eventually get a “lucky” board no skill at all involved. I don’t mind in the least “Hard” or “Super Hard” Levels but do object when continually they have only 15 or 18 moves meaning a couple of minutes of game time before you have to wait again for lives to reload. 

It’s a shame but I think I’m finally falling out of love with the game, it’s taken a long while! The blatant manipulation & profiteering is just irritating now.
