As promised I am off work now and will address your ABEpic vs ABTransformers point by point. I do feel that we already understand each other and since this will be very lengthy feel free to skip it,and of course that goes for everybody. I will just be speaking my mind on the matter and am wasting space so I apologize in advance for the length of this post.

1. Here you refer to additional robots to be obtained. As already discussed I don’t care about these characters and therefore don’t need them in my collection especially since you can’t use them anytime you want, you have to wait for the eggbots to make an event for them. And you say that you can eventually get the rewards in Epic but is this not the case in Transformers? You might have to wait for tokens but eventually won’t you be able to purchase these Transformers with tokens without spending money? And you say the only player based competition in Epic is for mastery but if so what is the arena about? Here trophies are at stake(although they are all the same after awhile) and I still don’t have a diamond trophy for season 1 because of all the cheats in that season. I do have them for the rest of the seasons but I had to play quite a bit for that. The arena now is also a good supply for enchantment shards and even though eventually you can purchase them with LC’s that Rovio doles out the arena speeds this up immensely. Again I haven’t been affected by more than 2 cheaters in a given week so I will concede the cheating in ABT to be worse in that sense.

2. I will agree that the greed in ABT is disgusting especially since to me it is targeting a younger age group. The constant ads sicken me as well as the stupid purchase gem screen that pops up “out of the blue” routinely. However you say nothing in epic has to be payed for directly but what do you call the Elite Paladin, Elite Sea Dog, ESkulkers, etc cash grab? Yes you had plenty of LC’s based on a glitch but not everyone had that amount of LC’s. I purchased LC’s for these classes. Did I have to? No, but who knows when the events to get these classes will ever happen. These were some of the more popular birds and Rovio knew it. It was a cash grab and nothing more.

3. Again I will concede that it is varied compared to other Rovio games but that’s not saying much.

4.Seriously Golldd Man the events and gimmicks in Epic are always changing??
I don’t know from a developer standpoint whether it is that hard to do what they do but they are just putting a different “hat” on the same characters, the formula is still the same is it not? The freaking map is the exact same for all long events with different decoration! Is this mind blowing from a developer standpoint? I know I’m the simpleton here but I just don’t get it. And yes ABT is highly redundant but I never said it wasn’t, I just don’t feel the injustice in ABT the way I do in Epic after the arena was introduced.

5. I seriously think your expectations for ABT is clouding your judgment on this point. The wait time for a battery is 1 hour in ABT and there are 4 of them so a total of 4 hours to play 4 times Every stamina drink refills in 15 minutes in ABEpic. The average cost of playing one battle is 5 stamina drinks, a wait time of 1hour 15minutes. 3 battles takes 3hours and 45 minutes. The wait times in events are almost identical so I really can’t see your case on this point.

6. The levels under clouds only gives me something to look forward to. What do I have to look forward to in Epic? Fancier designs for existing classes and bumping them up in power to call them Elite? (thanks for showing everyone those designs by the way they do look good)

You also said that you are missing out on a whole portion of ABT by not having access to special birds acquired through events. I would disagree because as you have mentioned this game is so basic anyway, and that these new transformers would do nothing to enhance the game for me. I already hate the fact that there are so many variations of Optimus Prime(as well as other characters)in ABT. I was also confused by your FB comment as you said you weren’t compelled to have it for this game. Were you referring to ABT or ABEpic? Because I vividly remember you
encouraging me to get FB for Epic.

Having said all that, I would wholeheartedly agree that AB Epic is the superior game and I never said it wasn’t. Again the injustice to me is far greater in ABEpic than ABT but I can see how your collector’s mentality would be offended by such a transgression in ABT. I actually don’t have that much fun playing ABT but because I am old and just waiting for bedtime due to my laborious work it is a good change of pace from Epic and Clash of Clans which are the only other phone games I play on a regular basis?
