IMO, the spark concept is a bad deal for players, and here is why…

Rovio was getting pretty good at offering character bundles for cash. This provided two ways to obtain a character:

1. Pay money
2. Compete like crazy to earn the necessary tokens (probably needing a good stack of gems to do so)

Sometimes, I chose option 1 if time was limited. Sometimes I chose option 2 if I had more time to play. But, I had a choice.

Now, with the sparks, it looks like being competitive in the competition will also require cash. Given the chart above, it will be virtually impossible for someone not purchasing the spark bundles to compete.

So now our choices are:

1. Pay money for the character
2. Pay money for sparks and gems to compete for the character

I guess this is a good strategy if there are lots of players left playing that are willing to pay.

I was tempted by the recent spark bundles, but have laid off of cash purchases since the removal of gems from the lab. That really irritated me and I’m deciding if I want to continue playing before laying out any more cash.
