Thanks @icrushlikecrazy, that's really interesting. Maybe they indeed have made it easier to win and have made the reward smaller. I'm happy in any case!
Wow, I am so happy! I was already really pleased when I knew I would get the Sheriff Badge, and the gold bars are a lovely (candy) icing on the cake! Congratulations to all the other winners as well!
After the fourth round, the full solution to this shocking crime has been found. :-) Misty stole the magic wand from Lost and Foundland to enchant candies. It is a good reason but would have been nicer to ask to borrow it for a while! What a fun and interesting game this was, thanks to the team for their hard work on…
These are not "critical bugs", they are features of the game and long may they continue! Personally, I don't have any problem with things being a bit easier from time to time. And I guarantee that once you get to the 4500 - 5000 range of levels, you are going to be mighty glad for any and all help you receive in the form…
