The updates are bad. In 8 years playing, I've never been closer to quitting. Not even during the months long glitches where we couldn't play gac without our battles freezing for like 4 months straight. They feel like toxic attempts to force us to spend and to minimize the experience of free to play players. Everything they've done since the Punishing One dropped has felt like they're doing everything in their power to grow the gap between whales and free go play or low amount spenders. I'm to a point where I'm struggling to open the app. All it does is make me annoyed. I have better things to do with my time than be pissed off at a mobile game. Better games to play. Better places to spend my money.
