The latest 2/22 update has devalued the Hive Pass. Why do the gems from the hive pass not count as paid? The game severely limits what you can get with free gems and requires you to buy gems for most items in the shop. Grinding for the free gems made the game fun. Now they just want money for everything. The mixes were taken away. That was the one place where it felt like I was interacting with other people.
