The theme that I hear is the loss of a level playing field.
There is only one final score, which hides all of the advantages. Those who have or are willing to spend more money, buy Telepods, use last chances, or use devices which allow higher scores, can raise their scores above those who do not.
There appear to be two alternatives to the current practice. Rovio can change, or ABN can change.
Rovio can change. They watch this site, a fact to which I can attest (when I reported a bug about melting here they posted a response, here, within 24 hours.) For myself, I think that they began to muddy the water in SW2 when they introduced character swaps, and it cascaded from there. What would we ask for if we brought this to their attention and requested a change?
ABN can change. It would be possible to have a separate, “naked birds” leaderboard, with our own rules, where no advantages were included in the score. It would be “word of honor” but, especially with more senior members watching and asking how someone came up with an aberrant score, still possible and still fun. As a junior member, I’m sure that there are better ideas than this one, but that is the general idea.
Personally, the biggest difference between my scores and you competitive top scoring flingers is the fact that I play on a smartphone with a small screen. When your finger covers vital action it truly lowers your score. So there are doubtless endless other advantages and disadvantages besides the ones people are discussing. But how is it possible to have a more level playing field?
