Something horrible is going on in this game!!
I have played this game since September 2013. I wrote a very positive review a few months ago. But something has gone terribly wrong.
Either the game has been cracked by hackers or Konami has gone desperately greedy in trying to make people pay for in game crystals.
Since January, in the congratulations to 5* recipients area within the game, Ive noticed that a huge % of players are getting 5* drops with double and triple boosted gold tickets. Yet my own tickets of this variety are having worse and worse drop rates. So I started monitoring this trend and noticed the following:
1. This is happening at all hours of the day, minimum of 1 winner per minute. So thousands of 5*s are dropped to these ticket holders.
2. The players that are getting these drop had extremely weird names. Such as "Eowrefyaltatego" or "Tinusterearadisidanc". They seem to be disposable names.
These can not be real players! They are more likely bots or something created randomly by someone to simply grab tickets and convert to valuable 5* cards.
Based on my calculation that 5* drop rate can not be better than 1/30 tickets based on my years of playing, it is safe to assume someone or a group of people draw in around 40,000 improperly gotten tickets per day. Over the first 2.5 months of the year, this adds up to 250,000 tickets. It is then my conclusion that this game has been hacked by someone to drop an enormous amount of double/triple boosted tickets (non-side selectable for mass flip purpose). Since there are no events run in the game with this many tickets of this variety, this has to be a bot running on a macro, manufacturing new accounts, then tickets, so that it can be converted into cash.
So a warning to players, until konami shuts down these bots, theres a massive deflation of regular 5* cards. And the only way to get ahead is to buy crystals in hoping to pull the new 5*s that are not available to the ticket holders. Therefore, it is not possible for regular players to advance to pg13 without spending hundred if not thousands of dollars.
This used to be a good game until falling players driving konami to sabotage their own game in order to monetize the game.
