Ok, tankers, its time to read between the lines!! :rolleyes: This is just another way the "powers that be" are trying to make it so they do not have to give away so many crystals because, (1.) with "forced' shorter battles, the scores will be smaller and thus the amount of crystals tankers earn in battles will be less. This is just the second time in recent weeks "game management" has changed the rules to benefit themselves by not having to give out too many crystals to tankers, thereby trying to encourage tankers to spend money and buy crystals, thus putting more cash in their own pockets. (2.)The other way this was recently done was when the Missions feature began and some rewards were large amounts of crystals, but within just a very, very short time after Missions started, they cut the "rewards" for completing a mission by 50%, thus again, in the the case where crystals were the reward, tankers now only get half of what they had been getting when they completed a mission. Again, "their" published reason for making this change did not lead you to believe that was they case in so many words, but you can easily began to read the writing on the wall. Ultimately, they would rather we spend tons of money on crystals rather than winning them in the game, :angry: Duh!
