This is straight up a play to win game now.

I have updated this review many times now and have only ADDED more negative things. I wish the opposite could have been true. This used to be my favorite game, but I finally realized that all they care about is money. The only way I could get through the problems below is if I paid them.

I cant upgrade gems until I am at a certain level. I cant upgrade over half of my gems! Its not like I have some crazy advantage for being at a low level. I still get plenty of gems stolen. Also, the limitations on dungeon creating has made it nearly impossible to make a difficult dungeon. I feel like I have no room for creativity!

The other problem I have is that stealing a gem back should not have such a low probability rate. I have created incredibly difficult dungeons, but on top of the fact that a defense disappears after a certain number of tries, they can use a potion to get rid of another defense. Its almost impossible to make every defense difficult on its own. And this wouldnt be a problem except I have had a LOT of gems get stolen on that sliver of a chance when a player only gets 1 star. I dont know if my luck is just terrible or something, but that is completely unfair that I can do everything in my power to protect my gems and theyre still probably going to get stolen.

I wouldnt even care that much except then I have to do a dungeon Ive never seen before and never planned on doing. So if they have a difficult enough dungeon I might not be able to help getting to one star and I cant keep wasting my orbs every time I lose a gem that I worked so hard to protect. I mean it when I say I worked hard to protect it. I have spent many hours for multiple DAYS to finish some dungeons twice in a row.

But it doesnt stop there. When I get a gem stolen, my chance of retrieving it is HALF of the percentage it is when stealing a gem! It should be completely the other way around! Retrieving gems doesnt even affect the player who stole it so why am I essentially being punished for someone elses good luck?!
