@david-martin, you might be partially correct; maybe some players bought their way up. That makes them paying customers though, not bribers. I can accept that even if I don’t like it. But I’m definitely being pitted against cheaters. All my birds are at 10 with several with almost enough feathers to reach 11 when elder silver becomes available. I have nearly 900 spells, all earned, not bought. When I’m pitted against “players” with a 5 or 6 star ranking and with all their birds at 11 or 12, I can reasonably conclude that they’re cheaters since I don’t think that one can buy levels that have yet to be released. If I’m wrong about that, I’m willing to be disabused of that notion. I don’t want seem immodest, but I have been playing video games of all kinds for a very, very long time. I’m good at them and I’m used to winning. Can I be beaten? Of course. There are many players who are better than I. But I am a competitor and anyone who beats me usually has to work for the win. I do agree with you about the algorithms, however. Skillful play often can’t overcome algorithmic manipulation whether at game outset or as the game progresses. And, sometimes skill alone just isn’t enough. Not when you are at the mercy of the Gods of Algorithm.
