I’m not happy with Rovio adding a new tier of promotion bonus levels with this update. I haven’t even downloaded the update, yet, so I didn’t know about this particular change until this invisible joker suddenly appeared on my leaderboard after my first runs for the wood block challenge day of the Classic Bumblebee event. And he/she managed to overtake me within the past 4 hours (see pics below, both of which were taken after my runs).

Leaderboard 1

Leaderboard 2

It is hard enough to reach the Ruby Crown for my most powerful bots. Now it is looking like it will be practically impossible to reach the Emerald Crown (and any future promotion tiers that Rovio decides to throw at us).


@seaspray
  The point of the new Emerald Promotion Tier levels is not so much about reaching the maximum number of Scoring Reward Tokens, it is actually about getting players to spend more money on gems and sparks just so that those players can be the last one to reach the top position on their leaderboards at the end of the challenge day.

This game is becoming more and more of a pay-to-win type game than it used to be. Somebody on this thread (I don’t remember who) said something about there being no real competition in this game (or something like that). Well, I disagree: there is a competition, and it is a competition between those players who spend ridiculous amounts of money on this game like crazy versus all of the other players (especially those active players who have a lot more sense).
