Taking the candies away and offering very limited ways to get boosters.

It's simple.

Do what ya gotta do by May, & we'll see ya in August (of next year)!

And perhaps any King game would be relegated off the devices of many at the moment...

Could it be this?

I'm well aware I'm competing with people who have already completed that episode. But back to you quitting. You haven't quit. You created a another account/id, started back at level 1 and continue to play under that id. That's not a bad idea for those who enjoy passing a lot of levels each day and get frustrated if they don't.

@Bumper2019 You weren't testing anything 😂 You stumbled across the exploit but instead of pointing out the exploit, you griped because you didn't think F5 paid enough boosters. You only pretended to be testing it after you got called out for griping about it 🤣

You seem to have a very warped perception, seeing everything I say as a gripe or complaint! Ok so I was also trying to point out that the rewards were minuscule in comparison to what players lost in the process of the changes, but the fact is we already had F5 before them. I did that because some people had been trying to pull the wool over players' eyes and sell it as an improvement. I didn't want them to be disappointed if that only little glimmer of hope was removed also down the road because of the exploit. I genuinely wanted to see if the Custom teams made a difference. From what I saw the public teams won't help anyone apart from freeloaders, The private teams a little better with more incentive for all team members to try but will still take a lot longer than before to get those few rewards with 3 less moves available for each level, let alone the starting boosters.
