Feeling a bit sad at what I have seen in PL the last few months
I started playing PL a little over a year ago now on my droid and continue to enjoy it to this day on my iphone/ipad. I have seen this game go through many changes. Some I have been happy about and some I have not. I remember when you could play any level after buying for plat and just explore. Not looking for power leveling help, but just to have fun and play where you enjoyed. Then that was taken away and most maps became free. So I lost that part of enjoyment, but I received a shield of gratitude. Not happy, but never complained... Now elixers that let you play anywhere for 1 plat and gain experience. Now raised to 5 plat from what I read today..... Strange to say the least. Also playing in mt fang and seen level 10's in the game with me. Ok shock, but then I realized the was a plat elixer for that. Ok this getting interesting..... I feel like the freebies got taken away and replaced with charges via plat to get the things we had before, but for new players they didn't know that anyway so no problem for them there. Without making this like a rant (because it is not meant to be) lets move on. Here is what is making me feel sad for us Pocket Legends lovers. I am seeing more and more people both in game and on this forum arguing over what is right and wrong for the developers to do. Or over what they have done already and it is something that I have seen in other games across my game career if you would like to call it that lol. Basically the game starts to feel that it is all about money to many and they get disgusted. I have seen people beg for money in game because they can't afford platinum to get by or just hearing of people begging their parents or spouse to let them spend more. This is sad and not what makes this game go around! There is so much more to this game than money and people are losing sight of that. I miss so many of our players who have moved on and it reminds me of other games that have basically died. I know this game won't be dead anytime soon, but the whole idea of what I am seeing makes me sad. Some people push get what they want and others scream about it. It seems to happen in all games that exist where money is charged for special elixers or whatever. I wish I could stop it or ease peoples anger, but I can't. You know what, it doesn't matter if you spend a ton of money or spend 10 dollars here. It matters what kind of person you are and how you get along with others. I just hope I don't come to see the end of so many fabulous players and wonderful friends!
Just my 2 cents on things that I hope don't progress as I have seen in other online games.
