First, I must tell you that I love this game!!! It’s my favorite, but I spend way too much money on it for what I’m about to write to keep me playing.
I won’t bore you with all the negative things already covered by so many others (e.g., incessant pop-ups, rigged energy lotto, etc.). Those are petty annoyances that didn’t push me away.
The reason I’m finally deleting this game is because EVERY time I slow down for a day or two on expending my hard-earned money, I’m knocked down a level. To be punished for being too busy to play, or for being sick, or for taking a day off, or for not SPENDING enough money - after spending a ridiculous amount monthly - is absolutely DISGUSTING!!! I’ve been knocked down from Level 8 multiple times, and I’m done.
Add to that, currently, I’m stuck spending energy/money to build flags I’ve already built and added to old territory because I don’t have any others items to build and add until I unlock new territory. This requires a waste of money.
If the makers of this game don’t care about retaining game players, they’ll still make a killing off newbies until they, too, get disgusted.
For what it’s worth, game players should be able to retain the progress and levels they earned/paid.
