Frustrating/conspiracy theories/ranting
I'm not a "conspiracy" type person by nature, but something's afoot here. I don't use power ups, which is probably part of the larger problem. It is so evident that scoring is arbitrary. Toil in a league long enough? Ok, we'll throw you a bone. Get high scores by skill alone? Time to have you throttled back. It's so messed up I can't believe I'm still playing. I could buy power ups with all of my accumulated coin, but that's not in the spirit of things, is it? I know it's in Rovio's best interest to make money, but I refuse to be *forced* into the power up game. The only ROVIO game I've spent money on is Star Wars, which is semi-worth it. My solution? Two levels every week - scores for clean players (with advancement in the clean league), and those that feel the need to cheat.
