Overcharges

Seems to the game as a glitch. I bought some diamonds, but never got them and twice I got overcharged the same purchase, and they refuse to do anything about it.

Terrible server lag

Worked fine for years and is a great demand. However, it appears they don’t know how to address increased players on at the same time. They blame it on “browser issues” basically just throwing it back at the user complaining saying it’s not their fault. I think they should hire some people that know what they are doing to run the servers. Or at least consult someone that knows about these issues
