@larry I still disagree with you regarding this exploit. And after reading @zackvoyager’s response, more so. I am a bit disappointed that more nesters on this site have not spoken up about this. I for one would like this thread removed.

Everyone has their own values and sense of what is right and wrong. So players will have differing views on this matter. For me, this exploit sits close to the line of what is acceptable / non-acceptable – but on the unacceptable side. And I can understand that for some players this sits on the acceptable side. This view will also be influenced by where a player is up to in the game and player’s individual experiences with the game.

A big part of this game is managing your lucky coins (LCs). The largest source of LCs is undoubtedly the daily battle against the golden pig on the cloud. This is actually a very clever ploy used by the game designers to get people to play every single day. But you also get LC’c from leveling up and from chests. And also people are able to spend real world money to buy LCs if they want to advance in the game more quickly.

How you spend the LCs is up to you. You can use LCs to buy stuff for your nest (golden chilli, golden anvil, golden cauldron, etc), to get items from the Golden Pig Machine and to get bird classes. But there is a balance to this as you advance through the game. If you want to advance quickly you can use real world money to buy some LC’s. I actually don’t have a real problem with that. People can spend money if they wish. I spent money so I could get Bard and open a couple of friendship gates – my son kept opening my game and wasting LCs, so one day I made a small purchase and quickly spent my LCs before he noticed. But he is more aware of the value of LCs now so it’s no longer an issue. But the point is, we have options depending on how we wish to play the game.

Putting this exploit out there will really screw up the balance for players, particularly those at lower levels. Playing those early battles on the map is about getting the right combinations of birds and equipment and developing your team of birds by spending your LCs wisely.


@larry
, with regard to your statements about where people got their set items and banner items from, I also have to disagree.

I am in the gold arena league and probably 60-70 % of opponents have matching weapon/offhand item sets for all of their birds. I have played for quite a while and have more than half of the completed sets at level 41 from just regular use of the GPM and LCs I collected through the game. So I usually go into battle with completed sets in my arena battles. So I think it is common at level 41 to see opponents with completed weapon/offhand item sets. And this should be more common for those in the higher arena leagues.

But I suggest the most likely reason for players having a full inventory of completed weapon/offhand item sets is that they have spent real world money. And the same with completed banner sets – people have spent real world money on these. This is probably as Rovio wishes. The 5LC cost for a spin on the golden arena pig machine is probably a control to limit the number of players who spend money to get all the banner set items.

Finally, @larry, I understand what you mean about writing essays!
