Players still cheat in AB2  Note the Player Samsam with the White Hacker Frame. Player started the Battle at an FP of 350 and jumped to an FP over 1,000

Agreed, what’s the benefit of playing?

In the previous Arena, to win a Weekly Arena Event required me to play around 2-3 hours a day. In my current Arena Event, I earned 261 points on the first day(which put me in 1rst place). No one has challenged and I have not played a single Round since Day 1.   If Rovio doesn’t realize this system is terribly flawed and change it, quickly, then AB2 is done.

Here is a post-Room 3 screenshot of my Master League Battle this AM. I had 3 Room Strikes in a row to start the Round….and I am down by 10,000,000. Finished the Round not missing a shot and lost by 18,000,000.

South Side Slinger, you summarized my New Arena experience, perfectly. I would add one comment and that is you can play a perfect Round and still lose by several million.  The AB2 fun…..is done. I am out.

Same here, the old Arena was flawed but the new Arena is really really flawed. Last week, I drew the same opponent(Mr. Collins) almost every Round and his score fluctuated for the same Round just enough to beat me. My favorite loss was when I was up by 11,000,000 with 2 Birds(Mr. Collins had no Birds) and Mr. Collins won the Round.  I don’t mind a challenging game but I do mind a rigged game.

After 11 years of AB, I am playing less and less and will probably quit….

The New Arena will be Rovio’s undoing:

1. No Ad for an extra Bird.

2. No Spells(which I actually like).

When Spells are rendered useless outside of the first 2 rounds of the Daily Challenge then what is the Player incentive to watch an Ad?

When Ad counts drop, revenue drops and Rovno will attempt to capture lost revenue from Players willing to purchase large amounts of Gems  Not going to happen…

I am very interested to see how the New Arena will play out over time after Players have utilized the Arena Tickets accrued prior to the New Arena.
