    All I can say, without any hate going on: Devs definitely lack in communicating with their players! This whole thing wouldn't have started at all, if devs just clear things up whats allowed and what's not. If they say guild hopping is a reason for banning, i doubt anyone would ever try it. After a big update all kinds of mistakes can happen, no deal at all! But devs knew about that guild hopping and didn't state anything clearly! And btw in general i still love the update! Brought so much more live into the community.

    Your favorite pasta sauce is on sale, 0.99 a jar. There's a limit of 6 per customer.

    You're at the store with your spouse.

    Do you go through once as a couple, buying six jars? Or do you go through as separate customers, and buy twelve?

    I'm not really sure which side of the debate you're on, based on that post. In your scenario, it's reminiscent of someone hopping to a friendly guild to help with quests, which is understandable and should be allowed. In the scenarios we're actually having happen, it's like you and your spouse both are dressing up as new people after every trip through the line and buying an endless supply of $0.99 pasta sauce. This is grounds for permanently refusing service, to most stores.

    Here’s My thing. Only thing I pay for is to be in VIP. I earned my Legendary weapon by scrapping epic and rare weapons I didn’t plan on using so technically I’m a F2P player with a legendary weapon. So it’s not impossible to get Leg weapons when your a F2P. But in the interim I built up my defender and ya weapons to be able to compete evenly with those in my league. If I never see the Nightmare league so be it. There a lot of dangerous players in the ACE league that will keep me in the game. I come for the competitiveness. And your weapons don’t make you it’s your skill. I destroyed a player who had 4 leg weapons on his shooter.

    I can't fully agree with u. Yeah tier 5 epic can fight tier five legendary, but legendary has advantage, there is nothing u can say to deny it

    Zusay I was saddened to see you join this exploitation. How could you think the game economy could honestly survive this TNT farming? Just played some matches now - the weapon power of the farming players is way OP to non farmers, its a totally unbalanced mess.

    The game shouldn't be pay 2 win in first place ifnit want to be. Competitive, as the game is now, one skin market would be far more suitable

    It isn’t just p2w players who are affected by this.

    Everyone, including f2p players, that just played honestly with thier guild, and didn’t abuse the exploit, will now be at a huge disadvantage.

    "Devil's Advocate"?

    In my opinion, it's closer to each of you buying 6, loading the cans in your car, and then immediately turning around to re-enter the store to buy six more each. In most cases, the store gets wise after they see you come in a few times, and they tell you to knock it off.

    But I have yet to see a situation where the store security follows me to my car and smashes the jars I bought until I have only six left.

    And that may be true, but as I said, it's often grounds to refuse future service when you exploit the system in such a manner. In this case, that would be banning, but I doubt Rovio would go that far. So, smashing the jars (which these customers got free, by abusing the system) is a tame reaction by comparison, and a lot more fair to the players who haven't exploited the loophole, whether F2P or not.

    Looks like you didn't even read my post. Nothing you have written has to do with my post. I've said that there is definitely a lack of communication from devs to the players. Also have been before the update when they have left everyone with nearly no information about when it's expected to drop and what's gonna happen. In this case as well.

    Stop complaining about being F2P. It is by design that those who pay will ALWAYS have the biggest advantage especially if competing for the top rank spots, that's how mobile games work. Just be happy that F2P even gets a chance to reach nightmare, you're not paying anything so don't be so entitled. Yes, progression sucks but cheating your way through to catch up and still have the audacity to complain because you can't reach Bunta's level when not paying anything, just lol.

    There's nothing more sad when F2P blames P2W items, it doesn't matter about your "If I had those items too, I'd be better" because it's not reality, so wake up. This is coming from a F2P as well.
