[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 286376, member: 134"] Okay, now I'm pissed. After 26 days of consistent data, on day 27 I noticed my totals were a bit unusual. I had sent to Zen some analysis of all the data I'd collected so far, as well as some issues with the game like interactive ads that crashed the app and invisible cards in the Premium Challenge. The card thing seemed to be fixed, and the ads weren't crashing, so fixes seemed to have been made. Today, day 28, I'm getting the same data as yesterday. This is not good, folks. Let's start with table parts. You now earn 10 fewer per day. I'd be sorta okay with that if hard caps were in place, but they are not. The lower number mostly affects the Pro and Premium challenge, as gone are the +5 and +6 drops, +3 is the highest now. Tickets on the other hand have gone way up. Playing all 4 challenges, I was typically earning 600+ per day. These last two days, I earned 890 and 1080. That's all good for people needing to upgrade to level 3. Coins is where Zen has made a change that is messed up. I earned 3 yesterday and 3 today. I had been averaging 7. The 3 I earned today were for getting 10 stars in the Premium Challenge, nowhere else. If this holds, it will take 34 days to reach 100 coins. That means once the next Volume drops, even I won't be able to upgrade more than one table before the Volume after that arrives. In other words, a true Pay Wall will have been put in place. And with no hard cap on table parts, I'll be spinning my wheels same as everyone else by getting parts I no longer need because I can't afford to do the level 4 upgrade. I'm gonna continue to monitor this, but if I see this sticking I plan on raising hell. I've already started with a harsh Tweet, then there'll be the podcast. I've said it all along, I get that the freemium model is to entice you into hurrying things along by making purchases, but the one thing I can't stand is forcing you to in order to succeed. Zen needed to actually ease up on some things just so new users could have a fighting chance, and instead they're clamping down and shunning everyone. [/QUOTE]
