Watching videos down to 5 Gems?

Just making it harder for the F2P players. Frustrating!

    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.


    After the brouhaha/kerfuffle caused by changing the 5000 gem superpack to a $40 purchase, one would have thunk that EA would have decided to be a bit proactive by announcing and spinning changes that users will find detrimental and/or negative.  Or, you know, honesty in those situations where spinning just won't do.  A big problem is that there is no dedicated (or at least regular) PopCap/EA liaison to the forums allowing all of us to voice our discontent unfettered.

    It's an interesting business model for sure. EA is obviously a big machine. The admins here appear to have nothing to do with the actual game. This board is clearly for fans of the game to share their experiences with each other not truly an avenue to the developers. I know the message here is that the admins "pass things along" but let's be real, how often does that truly happen? No knocks on anyone. It is what it is and everyone has a job to do. We all obviously love the game or wouldn't be here. It would be nice to have some direct dev involvement so you don't feel like your concerns or comments are falling on def ears. I'm betting that when a company is acquired by EA that direct contact is restricted in order to convey a consistent message across all its platforms. Big business.

    Thats my point, yes we all like this game and thats why i said that. I dont want people to stop playing this because if they dont, i wont be able to play either or just keep waiting until someone decides to play for a while (wich is already happening). But this horribles decisions are making people leave how they dont figure that out? I mean they have stats on how many people plays this games i think right? And if they dont hear their own community this will die eventually. Sadly
