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

Stuck for over a week now on 1465 (yeah, I know... "n00b!" ) over three different platforms (W10 app, Android, King website), no boosters worth mentioning (because they're not allowed on that board), and every time I get the daily calendar stuff my lives are burned up trying to get that stupid level finished before the timer runs out on the timed gifts (which expire before I recover more than one or two lives).

At the risk of coming across as some kind of conspiracy clown, I can't help but wonder if King is deliberately sabotaging some accounts of those who have complained about their behavior.

Whoever came up with those taglines on the loading screens telling players to relax, swipe their cares away, and so forth should be flogged, because there's no relaxation in spending literally hundreds of lives trying to pass one single level and finish the episode.

I can with certainty say that King is definitely NOT deliberately denying vocal defiers of their avaricious practices from features; I’ve been a vehement outspeaker of their various “team” features and yet my CCSS account has still not been burdened by them...I still have the single-player quest feature.

As I have been suggesting to everyone here on this thread, simply stop playing until the game is restored to its previously-playable state.

I wasn't thinking so much of features disabled as setting the program to give nothing but trash board layouts.

Like I implied in my previous post, "sabotaging critics" isn't likely to be more than unfounded conspiracy kookery, but I've never been stuck on any given level for so long no matter how difficult they are and it's getting annoying as [censored].

First of all, the only people being "hurt" by players not playing are the PLAYERS that are not PLAYING. 
To hurt King is to take away any monetary contribution you make to their already overflowing coffers. 
They DON'T CARE if you play or don't play. They only care about the MONEY. 

To address your conspiracy theory... I don't think you're crazy in the least. I've had both of my device's games updated recently and they are both hobbled with the loss of "features" I had but no longer have. I was able to move through hundreds of levels each week until I lost the ad videos. Some people have never had them at all. My Mom has them on one device but not the other. There are no less than 12 different versions of the game between our 5 devices and those that our friends are using. It's quite ridiculous. 
I would accuse them of hobbling my games to take away any access to free moves and boosters because I was advancing thru the levels so quickly. Taking them away was an effort to try to get me to buy their gold bars and boosters so I could continue to advance.
I gave that theory some real thought! They can totally run a report, tag players via their log in info and manipulate their gameset with a push update. They update the game EVERY WEEK, sending batches of files to groups of players isn't rocket science. They already admit to "trials" of features that not everyone will get. Riiiigghht.... The ad videos are being "tested" on groups of players to see how they "like it". 
Bah. HOOEY.
They took them away as a calculated effort to push their gold bars and booster packs.
Nope! Not happening. "If it's free, it's for me" is my motto. 

Without a doubt, though, 1465 is tough. I just tried it and have no boosters to use, not even a hammer. You gotta get that impeller in the middle, then wrapped and striped to get the keys. You can do it! Take your time and set up the special candies. 

Do you have Tiffi's Season's stockings? You can go back to old easy levels to refill them to full capacity. You can do that with Booster Bot, too, if he comes back. My Mom doesn't have either of them on her devices. It sucks! Not fair! But she has videos and I don't sooooo...
I have to play tricks to get lives and boosters. I won't quit playing. But I'm not in the 4 and 5000s. I'm sure those levels are enough to drive a person mad because I'm pretty frustrated where I am on 2800-ish.

You were foolish enough to spend actual money on a free game??  Sounds like you deserve what you got.  No one with even half a brain would spend money on a completely free-to-play game.

Salty much?

If you had half a brain you'd see that the reason you could reach 5916 for free - is because of the players who contributed our money for the cheapskate likes of you who do not.

I'd have thought people like me who enabled spongers like you to play for free because we contributed where you did not, would deserve thanks from people like you, not your selfish ill thought out insults.

I also think we have the right to complain in this thread because we contributed, where you do not because all you have done is take.

To then offer abuse and insults aimed at the people who enabled your free ride, now that is foolish. 

Maybe think about that for a moment before you continue abusing those of us who helped King provide 5916 levels for you for free. I've seen you do it quite a few times like it makes you smart to be cheap, if you understand what I'm saying here you will see it does not.

Happy New year.
