It’s getting worse for me. I secretly hoped that @bankler might have taken pity on my frustration and thrown me a gift of gems. Instead, my reward for all my research, screenshots and being driven to the brink of insanity…

my opponents in the Arena get the free video birds every single game – EVEN WHEN THEY ARE ALREADY WINNING. And I’m talking whether we each still have a card left or he’s already greyed out, whether he’s winning or he’s losing. And he’s not just getting a crappy duck or the blues like I used to get. He’s getting 3-4 bombs in a row to guarantee his win. Because by some miracle his single bird is filling up a massive point meter as a strike then he gets another which fills up an even bigger meter, which gives him another.

This isn’t new. It was a regular occurrence but at least in the past it only happened when my opponent was losing. To do that when I AM LOSING? A slap in the face. The only time I win is when I beat my opponent with EVERY SINGLE BIRD. It has to start from the very first bird, I have to be given a fair score for every bird, and I have to have a score nearly double when we each still have 1-2 bird cards left. But the whole thing is obviously rigged because I play the same all the time.

For the record, I have added a few friends whose playing I greatly respect that I have known here for years. Based on how badly the Arena has been scoring me, I really expected these three people to have higher scores than I do in ALL the levels. THEY DO NOT! And some have more birds at a higher rank. So that tells me I am not exaggerating my playing ability when I lose OVER AND OVER AND OVER. We’ve been into the week for about 30 hours now. I have between 45-50 stars so far. (I just won my first game for 10 stars after 6 losses in a row. Number 1 in my league already has 176. Unless I start setting my alarm for every 3 hours I won’t be able to come back. After a DAY! Oh wait. I can’t win even when I play. And with red gifts gone altogether, and the one tiny pleasure of farming that about 20 of us were enjoying I’ll never earn the 1800 feathers needed to get everything to Amethyst so I’ll get more points. Not 10 at a time. So. Yeah. Fun!

Let’s see. Assume every feather earned in a day went to the same bird.
40 for the – see a Red “i” on your bird.
10 for the chest gift.
—-
50 a day with 1800 needed is 36 days each bird.
7 birds needing this is 36 x 7 so 252 days.
252 days with a 30 day month is 8.4 months.
8.4 months now just to earn one rank between Emerald and Amethyst.
Does this sound fair or fun?
