The state of the game has taken a hard downturn lately. Beginning with a horrifically greedy Thanksgiving event, there has been a series of poorly designed events which have required spending to complete and have been notably less rewarding than similar events have been, historically. All told, this has been a hugely greedy period in the game. On top of that, the game has been hammered by bugs, which has overwhelmed support and meant getting simple issues resolved can take more than a week.
