After watching my grandfather play for over three hours to win his crystals, the thought of playing that much DM was so discouraging that even 7250 crystals did not seem enough to make it worth while.

To my surprise I really do like this new feature. I will not vote it because now I only do that if I think an update is bad. However - it may take some time to see if it is caused by something else, but it now takes me two or three minutes to enter a game, if it doesn't simply hang forever.

Since there is not thread for the "Double Crystals in a First Purchase" offer, I will note here that any chance that i would do so was crushed when I noticed that those who purchase with prepaid cards are penalized. I am just speaking of the crystals; I will not use a credit card because I do not want a Premium Account under any conditions, even given for free.

OMG! A terrific update! It will help drive out all those dweebs who do not contribute financially to the game. I will upvote it as soon as I post this.

This is the best update ever!

This is the best update ever! Your clear honest contempt for the people who play your game and post in this forum has never been precisely spelled out before, though it has been strongly implied. I will return in the future to praise whatever updates you make, regardless of how much I actually hate them, since that is what you obviously want. I'm off now to put a "like" on OP.

If.... 1) The chance of a Gold Box appearing is the same at any moment of the game 2) There is 30 seconds notice before the box drops 3) The game is lasting 4 minutes then the chance that the game will end after the warning has been given but before the box can be captured is more than 12% in each game. If the game goes 15 minutes the chance that the game will end after the warning but before it lands is a bit over 3%. My figures are not exact because I do not know some things like whether the box appears at the same height always, or at a specific distance above the ground.

I think I will stop playing for a while. Maybe a long while. :(
