Gary,
I have no idea where you’re coming up with this level of attitude for a game, but I would hope you would read more of what I’ve said (here or on any other thread related to the absolute debacle that is AB2). Why would I waste my time playing passive-aggresive mind games on a game forum?
Please check several other threads and see where I’ve come down on Rovio completely un-apologetically. They’ve broken almost every Rovio game I play at one point or another, quite often in spectacular fashion (like the game stops even loading). And I whine and moan on these forums and directly to them. Would I start a whole thread about ridding AB2 of the crapola that is Blizzard if I worked for Rovio? Cripes, I’d hope a few other souls on these boards would actually put up for me against such a nonsensical affront. Or would that just solidify your opinion that I’m some sort of robot or Rovio plant?
What gets me the most is the opening line you quote from me about uninstalling the game (don’t even get me started on how backwards it is to think a Rovio employee would use uninstalling a Rovio product as some sort of clever attack — just think about it). You know why I wrote that? Because I wonder about myself as to why I don’t just rid my tablet of this game that drives me crazy and makes me grimace when new content is released. I’ve been belly-aching at @bankler NON_STOP… I’d have him tell you I don’t work for Rovio, but like I said before — you’d probably just say that is part of the act.
Any time you want to PM me discuss this, I’ll tell you where I live and where I work. Directly and non-passively. I’ve nothing to hide.
You have no proof other than personal perception that Rovio is using anything artificial to generate revenue. In any case, why would they need to use anything artificial? They already weighted the game toward money spenders: gems, spells, etc. Spenders and cheaters dominate the boards. I know this, and like you I am trying to make the game better. In my opinion, the first step to that is sounding off about what I think are real problems and what I think are perceived problems (but that turn out not to be real). That’s not an insult to you. That’s an attempt at keeping the signal-to-noise ratio as high as possible. I have very little hope that Rovio is going to change much of anything, but the higher the signal, the better chance we have.
Bottom line: I didn’t reply to you in any intentionally insulting way, not passively or otherwise. And if I pissed you off, I genuinely apologize. I said I disagreed with you saying Rovio was planting crappy birds for us as extras, because I personally think that’s simply not true. You don’t have any proof, but then again neither do I. All I can go by is my own experience. What happened for me today? I only had to draw two extra birds today: I drew into a Terence and won, and I drew into a Bomb and lost (I was really far behind and I didn’t get to start Bomb on a fresh level — but you can’t hope for much better than Bomb). So, I was 2 for 2 on really good extra birds.
If you think I was saying anything other than my own opinion based on my own experience, then I’m not sure how else to communicate with you. Good luck in the game.
Thanks,
