I, like others, cannot advance to level 61. Friends send me lives, but they do not register.

I have tried everything that has been suggested to me, but nothing works.  In fact, one life that

I did have was taken away.  I would like to know if the only way I can advance is to buy gold bas.  If so, I will have to quit.

If you're enjoying the game then why is using gold bars such a negative thing?
