Get rid of Timed Sugar Drops/Boosters

  I used to pay money into the game but stopped when they got rid of the piggy bank where you could get 60 gold pieces for $2.99. That always seemed a reasonable enough cost to me. But I don't like that Candy Crush is so clearly manipulated to almost force you to pay for boosters to get through certain levels or if you just want to make steady progress in the game. Since I've stopped paying for boosters I've been hung up on some of levels for up to 8 days, which is beyond annoying. That just doesn't feel fair to me. I would much prefer to pay a monthly fee to play the game rather than shoveling money into it as a I go along. I know these companies need to make money. After all, we all pay for entertainment in many forms and this is just a form of entertainment. But the way King does it feels very underhanded and unfair. I am convinced there are levels in this game that are impossible to clear and if you don't pay for the boosters to get through you have to wait for that "lucky" board to come along that literally clears the level for you. And that can be a long wait! We've all been there. You're at a level where you can't get close to clearing and struggle with it for a long time and then all of a sudden you just get through it with ease. That's stupid.

  YES PLEASE!  This stinks.  I can't always complete the play so they go to waste and it makes the game much less fun.  Also, for some reason, every day I log on, it says it's day one.  Like Groundhog day.  The game has become MUCH less enjoyable.

  Well, I am in The 3rd week of not playing CCS levels. I am at level 5340 and used all but 2 gold bars and a ton of boosters. They took away my Piggy Bank, so the only way to get more gold bars was to buy them at full price. Now they have taken away my daily booster wheel and they timed the Treat Calendar. Timed boosters are Still all they are giving out for Sugar Drops. 
  I will continue to hold my one man protest until King stops experiencing on its loyal players and returns our favorite game.

  Hey, King! I have 77/60 sugar drops to get your stupid timed booster and I have 4 lives left. When am I going to get my reward?!?
  Oh, right. I have to wait until I use up all my lives.

  I use them as little as possible. One a day from spinning the wheel and whatever it gives me from the treat calendar. If I have trouble with a hard or super hard level, I use them.

  to get so many boosters you download a program to the computer i dont remember what its called its like hacking the game.
  search for free boosters then it will come up on google or many do really pay for so many boosters  dont think so.

  Get rid of timed boosters. Revert to the way we were.

  OK, I figured out the not getting the sugar drop boosters thing. It used to pop up automatically, but now it won't pop up until you exit out of the game screen to the map screen. Since most people don't exit out of the game screen, until they run out of lives, they get the pop-up then, and of course are mad they didn't get it until they were out of lives. Check before the start of each game, and if you have enough sugar drops, exit to the map screen, and then you will get your sugar drop rewards.

  My one man protest continues. It has been 4 week without CCS. I doubt if King will ever bring back saved boosters. The timed ones bring in more money and makes CCS like all the other King games. The long time players are adapting their strategy to the timed boosters and the newbies never knew the original CCS.

  Timed boosters are quite often useless on the current level I am playing. So either get rid of them or make it so that the booster does not activate until you are on a level that it can be used on. Once you are on a level the booster can be used on the timer starts and goes until it runs out even if you go to a new level that doesn't use the booster.

  Stop pleading with the King to return CCS to before Timed Boosters when it was fun to play. He is to busy counting the extra money you are spending for boosters and gold. Accept that the days when you could collect boosters and gold are over. You only have two choices. 1. Adapt the way you play the game to use the timed boosters as you get them and start paying for additional boosters and gold for those super hard impossible levels. 2. Join me in throwing off the shackles of Candy Crush Saga and replacing them with different, better shackles. Just pick your poison. Here is a great site to pick from the 10 best replacements for CCS: **edited by CM- outside of Community**

  I agree with Joe000 that King has no intentions of getting rid of these ridiculous and useless timed boosters. Once I have used all my saved boosters on CCS I shall be throwing in the towel and move to another site were loyal gamers are appreciated. RIP CCS.
