Candy Crush is no longer fun. It is tiresome and stressful. You have taken away the booster track and I haven’t been able to get a gold bar for quite awhile. For those of us who cannot afford to use our credit cards to buy boosters no matter how cheap they are then I guess we are just not important to you. Why would we be when you have billions of players? Anyway I enjoyed the game up until a few weeks ago. I don’t even try hard to win anymore. Here is a suggestion....when the game is opening up take the word relax off. How can one relax when there is very little hope of winning a game without it taking forever. I have no hope of even catching up to the ones who have the money to buy all your boosters. That used to be a goal of mine. Goodbye.
FROM: Some of our clever and creative players soon discovered that by repeatedly playing a previous level, it allowed the charging of the Bot and collection of rewards. While we acknowledge and applaud this inspiring gameplay, it's not in the spirit of the feature as it was designed.
After considerable time and consideration, we've now closed the loop and this will only function for 'streak' runs of passing unplayed levels. Well done to those who made it rain those extra boosters!
What is the harm in letting them get on with it if they have the time? Why ruin the whole game for all the players except the cheats with access to millions of boosters?
@Bumper2019 I read this announcement from King many times but I don't get what kind of exploitation was discovered by clever players. Yes, the bot could be recharged by playing previous levels. To be fair, back in day the naive me thought that was the intention by helping players stuck in difficult levels and then rewarding them with a full bot if they kept on succeeding. But what "collection of rewards" was there? Passing levels? Not losing lives incessantly and fruitlessly? What trasgressive loop was there? I am baffled.
BOB is still about but not as good as before only progress is 3 levels and as soon as you lose he is gone. You may not have him as different features are part of different test groups, you may not be part of that test group. you can also just lose availability of any feature
@Pitty_Kitty I assume that it was the fact that players were recharging their bot quicker than they intended. Nothing particularly clever about working out which levels were quicker to complete and playing them, so I am baffled also. It seems like they felt it was a mistake and tried to remove it last year as more players were using it to help with harder levels when they got to them. There was a backlash then, so they begrudgingly brought it back. This time it's more like "OK we're putting our foot down" but it is so ingrained into the way everyone plays, not just clever ones as they suggest. It seems that they fail to see how angry and frustrated it makes players who have devoted years to their favourite game.
The new version of Bot should be called Melt-a-Pot as you don't lose it until you need it, then there's no getting it back until you've spent days trying and dying / waiting for a spin / collecting boosters.
The King has taken the fun completely out of playing. I always enjoyed playing past levels, but not anymore. With no rewards to play with it sucks. You earn the bots and naturally They aren’t any good on past levels. I have a hard time believing that the King cares about us staying safe or He would change the GAME back to being fun again. Thence everyone would be able too play with more happiness and be more safe by playing the KINGS games. Shame on you! I really don’t think you have any feelings whatsoever for anyone!
Wow! You're so lucky to have the jackpot three days in a row! I've had thus luck only three times since 2013 when I started this game! I think they are very crafty in not landing on it by the players.
WTG King! As of today you are now down 300,000 players on CCS for Galaxy gamers, over the last 2 weeks. To get that many people to stop playing your game during a pandemic, when most people can't leave their homes, is a big accomplishment. 👍

1 · Helpful Woah! Sweet 1Love HahaI never knew if Build-a-bot. From what Ive read, it seems that it was part of Candy Crush Saga which is the only game I play.
Was it only on certain levels or what?
I tried looking on line and on this site, but I dont see details except that it's no longer.

4 · Helpful Woah! 2Sweet 2Love Haha@Bumper2019 Ok, that makes sense and sheds some light on that confusing message. Thank you very much for the explaination. 👍🏻
I remember now that bot feature changed in the past but I wasn't in the community then and I just assumed it was a problem on my part.

0 · Helpful Woah! Sweet Love Hahai can understand limiting the build a bot to new levels only but going from full bot to empty because you lost one life is excessive IMO
i preferred the gradual losing of bot ‘power’ as you lost lives
