At least one of these have been discussed in this forum. If the grind of playing the Arena isn’t tedious enough for you, there’s a trick to choose opponents that will all lose by more than 5 stars, every time. I really gave the Arena a good try during the latest tournament, and got silver in a gold tournament without spending any money, and not really trying hard to beat the guy who finished first. The exploit makes the experience very disinteresting.

I thought I’d still play the single player levels, until I realized that finishing with three stars is inevitable now, if you finish at all. The point in staying with single player was to continue with the three star streak stretching to level 1, but there’s no sense of accomplishment in that anymore either. With one stroke the devs managed to kill both the game modes in AB2. I liked both modes as they were, but now I like neither.

So I’m gone from AB2 now, for good. I’ve tried to remain a fan of Rovio games, but unfortunately the company seems hell bent on turning originally fun games not fun at all in pursuit of more in-app purchase revenue. This just seems really silly to me, because how many people will really play a not fun game even for free? It happened with AB seasons (paid version) AB friends and now AB2. I’m not opposed to in-app purchases in a game, but I’m quite certain success in that model comes from offering more fun in exchange for money in an already fun experience.
