Then I took the consensus best team and built up the 3* villains and Spidey and GSBW and that was a lot of fun. now they nerfed Rag and things have changed yet again and now I am having a lot of fun in The Hunt and Big Smash learning what the new best options are and where to spend some iso to max out the characters. I've been through everything the devs can do and I'm still having fun. For me that's my bottom line and I still enjoy the time i spend matching symbols.

So you spent more $ on Rags after getting burned with Loki? Fool me once...

In both Loki and Rag I was able to easily use them to win as much or more than I spent. As many have mentioned ever since the Lightning Rounds started having a 5Red Rag was the difference between winning covers or not. After all of the lightning rounds I have all the villains covers I want and enough iso to level them up to >Lvl 100. So yeah I spent money again and I am happy with what that purchase lead to. now that I pretty much have all the currently available covers and a nice bank of iso and hp all because of that purchase I'm not personally feeling all that foolish but I'm okay if you want to think so.

Storm) yet two characters neutered like Bob Barker's pets." *Disclaimer: I have a 1/2 lvl 28 rag, and I mostly used it as a Feral Strike engine if at all before IM40 was a solid member of my team* I am of the opinion that "a rising tide raises all boats." That is, to make a game more enjoyable, I believe that there should be more buffs than nerfs (60/40). These are superheroes we are dealing with, after all. They are meant to be played with the feeling that you are controlling powerful characters, each with their own different styles of play and mechanics. To continue with my boat metaphor, Ragnarok was clearly the Titanic of the bunch, but the iceberg that D3P and Demiurge struck him with turned him into nothing more than a ship wreck at the bottom of the sea; plenty of Health, but left behind by all that once boarded it. The main issue I have however is the fact that this buff/debuff campaign didn't happen across the board at once, but started on only ONE singular character out of thin air. If you're going to go through the trouble of adjusting all of these characters, why not do them all at the same time to all of the characters in need of tweaks? It is much easier to ease the pain of adjustments by just ripping the band-aid off instead of leaving your most dedicated player base second guessing which characters to invest Iso-8 into. Having all of the changes laid out in front of the players would have given credence to the idea of having a more balanced game instead of giving birth to thoughts of "This developer is only concerned about money, not about making a good game" that have run rampant across these forums ever since last Thursday. Hell, I've played Avengers Alliance for the longest time, and even Playdom had the decency to buff/debuff multiple characters at the same time rather than giving out a list of characters like Norman Osborn. D3P and Demiurge gained our trust by communication, transparency, and sound decisions, and now it seems that those courtesies were a luxury that is long gone. I'm willing to wait it out and to see what other changes that will be made. I wish there could be room for a quicker (yet inherently riskier) style of play in combination with the slower style of play that seems to be prevailing, but so far it hasn't dampened my enjoyment too much so far. As for whether or not I'm leaving, I'm definitely putting in less time into the game. Organic Chemistry (and Biomedical Engineering in general, to be honest) is quite a time sink.

That's good. Your upgrading seemed to have paid for itself. Glad you were an early bird. What do you say to the people that bought Loki or Rag covers days or hours before their nerfs? And would you advocate new players spend $ to buy covers they covet in today's game?
