King Ltd. created a blockbuster game that has drawn in any number of fans. Initially the game was fun and very addictive but as I became more familiar with it I began to notice discrepancies within the "gifts". The game sends lives from other players but over time I noticed that they were never given At first I thought it was something I was doing wrong but after checking with friends their feedback was the same.At one point a number of gold bars were given as an inducement to try another new game of theirs. I used two and decided to save the balance for another day, when they weren't used right away they just disappeared from the site. There is a great emphasis on buying boosters to help you get to the next level.As I found out from friends, there is no guarantee that the boosters will help the first time around. As you go along the game becomes more difficult until you get to a level that cannot be beaten without the aid of these boosters.The game at that point is no longer fun or entertaining and so I, and most of my friends have stopped playing. King's games are initially fun and often cleverly done but it always gets to the point where you have to spend money to advance. There are other games by other companies that offer boosters for purchase but haven't programed the game so that it's impossible to play without buying, King's games also have a lot of glitches that are beyond annoying and when you try to contact them they ignore you. I've had to leave games that won't load, buffer eternally or jerk and drag until you have to just leave it alone. Again some of the games are very clever but it seems that they have been rushed into production instead of being properly vetted. I'm sure that a lot of people reading this will be nodding in agreement. I understand that the games are being offered gratis but there should be a happy medium between playing for fun and the absolute need to buy boosters to go onto the next level.

You have to use common sense when using ANY site such as this.It's like buying a used car. Most of the auction descriptions are "PUFFED" AND YOU ALWAYS NEED TO KEEP THAT IN MIND ALONG WITH THE ASSERTIONS OF RARITY AND ONE OF A KIND. WHEN I'VE BEEN UNSURE OF SOMETHING, i'VE LOOKED THE ITEM UP AND DONE RESEARCH ON THE ITEM IF I/M REALLY INTERESTED. I HAVE BEEN SURPRISED AT THE DUMBNESS OF SOME PEOPLE WHEN THE COMMENT SECTION OF AN AUCTION IS FILLED WITH WARNINGS AND THEY STILL INSIST ON BIDDING. PEOPLE HAVE TO LEARN TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS AND STOP BLAMING OTHERS FOR THEIR POOR DECiSIONS. I've only met the nicest people sweet, kind and dear. There have been a few scammers but I managed to win out over them because of my superior feedback rating.My biggest gripe is with the listia moderators who apparently rely on formulaic responses that sometimes border on the absurd. I think moderators should be able to respond in real time or as close to it as possible so frustrated buyers/sellers don't have to deal with inane and useless replies. S orry about the typing, i'm not good at it.
