Watching videos down to 5 Gems?
Just making it harder for the F2P players. Frustrating!
Forum Discussion
Popcap is maybe doing all the wrong moves, i have seen a lot of complains about the new challenge thing, the non giving gems when someone watch ads issue, now this.
The card collection already changed, there are more rares now wich make al super rares and legendaries harder to get, now theres less gems to get too, new season comming up and less gems to get. I think they want all the ultimate league players to just become P2W, and i dont think thats going to happend.
Hopefully they can hear us and undo the 5 gems per ad thing.
I don't know what they are thinking, 5 gems per ad? They also get money from ads, right? I will not pay for anything ultil they give back what they took from us

They took something from us?
I forget, what was it again that they took?
A lot of gems lost because of "oops..." error, right?
soooo many OOPS
Come on, another thread on this? I get your anger, but please at least check out the titles of other threads.

You are right, another thread about this thing and not even a glimpse of any answer or thoughts about it from EA or game developers. I guess that taking care of their own community isn't a priority for them.

I was about to blast you but I'm trying to be better than that. People make mistakes.
Do do me a favor though and look at my original post and the original posts of others on the same subject and get back to me.
That said, I don't blame people for making multiple posts on this. My standpoint is this. As an ultimate league player, I have already accumulated most of the cards and now just have a few legendaries to get and multiples of and a couple other cards here or there so I'm set. My girl however after making fun of me for playing originally has now herself picked up the game and is a 28. Those of us that have been around know that's when the game starts to get tough. I saw Jokers post on the other thread and while I agree getting something for nothing is great, taking things away from players that you were freely giving before is poor form in my humble opinion. It can sour people's opinion of your product and drive people away. Like many posting here at my level this change does little to me but my girl on the other hand is going to have a much more difficult time accumulating cards than I did.
The other thing that that frustrates me a little is the "giving you something for free" response. EA gets money for you watching adds. I'm spending time watching them, even downloaded a game or two from them. EA is still making money. I'm sure this little expirement of there's will show them if people are now spending money or watching ads more or less than before and will go from there. The thing is it rings hollow to me. You should absolutely make money from your games. I haven't spendt a ton, $20 which is more than I've spent on an iPad game maybe ever, but I have watched a ton of adds which generate income form them as well. No one likes to be nickel and dimed.

Exactly. There isnt much a ultimate player can do to gain some gems, some people dont even get the chance to see ads to make gems, some people can watch 20, some can watch like 3 per day (my GF) or sometimes less, why? I dont even know. Its a lottery right now to get gems from watching videos, because you dont know if you are going to get 20 vids or less, and worst of all you dont know if you are eventually going to get the freaking gems after you see the videos since they still dont fix that issue.
Anyway, as someone said before in other thread about this, theres a balance of respect and understanding betwin players and game developers, break that balance and eventually a great amount of your players will be looking for other games to play, i mean, no one wants to play a game that becomes frustrating to keep up.
Hopefuly someone in popcaps or EA can read us and take this subject seriously, i doubt it since the only answer after days from a EA representative wasn't good.
So? I don't think he cares, neither do the people commenting. Its not the end of the world because they're 2 threads.
- Im not going to watch ads anymore if they dont bring 10 back. I got really mad this morning when I noticed this change.
