The thread for flipping shits (and tables)

Gems of War.

Spoiler It has been expanding the gap between the newer/unlucky players and the older/pay-to-win players by introducing events that are essentially impossible unless your team is already extremely good that gives the best players massive rewards. Also, its latest update made the UI "sleek and efficient", but really made it look like garbage.

The only way to improve your team is to earn currencies that grant random troops (think CCG), but in the time it takes me to get 50 cards that have a slim chance of being good, the top 5-10 percentile gets 500+, some with better odds. Even if you get the 2nd highest or highest rarity of troop, the range of power within the group punishes people who don't get as many.

In a specific event, Guild Wars, you can pay currencies to make your team better for the duration of the week. But the only people who can afford to get a large amount of upgrades are the winners of previous weeks and the people who pay money.

It feels like the game is saying "if you aren't going to do significant microtransactions, you can't do well" and if this continues it's going to make a lot of players leave the game and inevitably kill it.

tldr; It has serious balancing issues and new events are only benefiting pay-to-win players.
