No longer able to exit an unstarted board without losing lives - Information and feedback

Methinks the dev team needs to get a dictionary, because they apparently don't know what "fixed" means.

Unless they're thinking of the surgical procedure for pets, anyway. That would kind of apply.

Is anyone even listening to us? Has there been any feedback from King at all? If someone can list links to their sponsors, I’d be happy to educate them that not everything is a money grab. Candy Crush has been an escape for me personally. My little guilty pleasure in a complicated world of pressure and anxiety. Ever hear of paying it forward? Look it up. Do a solid for your fans who have supported you from the beginning.

I think this is a truly awful "fix" to a problem that didn't exist for anyone other than the accountants and top dogs at King.  On the face of it, it's a blatant money grab against players desperate to pass difficult levels.  I'm on level 5350 and I can assure you that some levels are IMPOSSIBLE to pass without at least one booster coupled with a lucky board.  Now we can't reshuffle for a lucky board without losing a life and any used booster.  I believe this will backfire, King, because people will NOT buy boosters and lives once they realize they will lose the items they purchased if attempting to get a lucky board + boosters on the impossible levels.  I'm guessing you will see a decline in in-app sales rather than the expected bump.  Not to mention the bad reviews you will surely get after this latest slap in the face to your faithful players.  Candy Crush is a time suck anyway, albeit an entertaining one.  But now that I cannot shuffle boards, the enjoyment factor plummeted.  Now it's frustrating and I for one will never even think of spending money on something I don't enjoy.  So good luck, King.  I doubt this cash grab will play out the way you think it will.  Oh, and having your moderator repeatedly call this a "fix" to a "known issue" is beyond the pale insulting to our intelligence.  Shows what you think of those who line your pockets.

This “fix” will likely be the end of playing cc for me.  That functionality is the only thing that allows us to make use of our boosters.  Kind of a head scratcher why after all this time they have decided to call this a fix rather than the feature it’s been all along.  Well, we’ll see how it goes. If i start being stuck on levels for weeks that’ll do it for me.  

Joined this community today for the sole purpose of agreeing with everyone here about how this recent “fix” is probably what will finally get me to lose interest in this game. I was just talking to a friend of mine the other day about how I love to play because it helps me “de-stress”. Well I no longer feel that way with this recent change. It’s boring and unsatisfying now. I’ll give it some time but if it stays this way I think I’m done. You know how sometimes the powers that be create changes in your life that you are unable to create for yourself? This may be one of those times. Maybe I’m meant to find healthier ways to de-stress!
