I can't tell you how tempted I am to message Gameloft and give them a piece of my mind.
First - another event that was so close to AiW AND during the holidays? People are busy spending time with family and friends, and purchasing gifts. Not dropping cash on a game. Shame on them, this is straight up greed.
Second - my husband is a casual player. We started playing at the same time. I'm more "serious" than him. We've both spent some money on the game since we started playing almost exactly one year ago. Imagine my surprise when he had 35 gems yesterday and got 2 magic chests. In the first one was Grumpy tokens, and the last one - HE GOT GRUMPY. Seriously? The odds should be published.
I'm so mad over this event. I may just play to see how far I get, and delete the game. It was fun for a year, but greed is taking over.
