    Totally agree with all that’s been posted here.
    It seems the game is past it’s sell by date.

    ‘We understand that players were hoping for a fix in the 6.2 release, but we regret to inform you that the correction will not be included in this update. However, we want to assure you that our team is putting in their best efforts to resolve this issue as soon as possible.’

    Would seem the ‘best efforts aren’t cutting the mustard or it is a case of nobody gives a hoot.

    Have seen first hand several long term top players Drop the game in due to the apparent don’t care attitude to problems.

    This makes it sound as you have not had these issues brought to you pre today !
    Over 2 months evaluating the dani/blade that’s some going to still not have a definitive answer on that one issue

    I agree as well. But my frustration has begun a loooong time ago, since I realized that this game has a ridiculous rank (and prizes) system, where you can easily fall from podium if you miss just a couple of ribbons..
    Beside that, the latest broken card combos, the nasty shuffler plus all the bugs, are the major cause of frustration and quitting.

    And we are talking about people who used to love this app, this game, who spent a lot of time (and money, in some cases), built a vast card collection, communities.. For these people is not easy to quit, and if they are doing it, it's because this game has become unplayable.

    That rank system is the exact reason we need more players, not less. More players = more bracket flips = better distribution.

    That's probably not the full story, but it's a start. I agree all player satisfactory issues should be addressed, but that list is long. Let's keep that for the next ruckus we'll make 🙂

    Hey guys,
    I would like to thank you for your feedback and assure you that the team is considering everything that has been reported about Danitha, Kiora, and other bugs.
    We are talking and analyzing the possibilities of what can be done in relation to what was reported here. Our goal is to have an action plan for fixing these bugs defined by the end of this week!
    But I will keep you informed of any news. 😊

    I used to report lots of bugs and tried to help as much as I can but I haven't cared about the game in a long time. I stopped playing daily since last December and have only been playing on the weekends because I like my coalition, not the game due to all of the reasons that so many players have already mentioned here.

    The fix is super easy and it can be done really soon. You just have to want to do it.

    What do all of these meta warping and fun destroying cards have in common? They all have "Enter The Battlefield" effects. Danitha is an ETB, Goddo is an ETB and with Kiora-Rocco we have Rocco which is also an ETB. Cards that give you full mana to something else should NEVER HAVE an Enter The Battlefield effect because it can be heavily abused and create this boring and stale metas. Just change all those effects to "When you cast this creature" effects and we can all go back to playing Magic: Puzzle Quest instead of the nonsense game we have been playing during 2023 where we try to get your infinite combo pieces down before Greg can.

    Agreed 100%. Please fix these fun-annihilating combos.

    I am going to leave my opinion here as it seems most appropriate. I am having serious deja vu here: The stagnant meta from a few toxic combos making things miserable for anyone who doesn't have the cards,The limited rotation of events, The plague of bugs, Long time players leaving en masse, Me considering joining them. All this harkens back to the era at the end of Hibernum's run. It doesn't speak well to the direction of the game. I know that this cannot be an easy platform, magic is notoriously rules dense, and the programming must be a nightmare, let alone unintended interactions under all the cards flying at each other. But infinite fetch loops are a known problem, and many of the previous solutions would be applicable. Recall the fall of Hibernum, learn the lessons that history demands or be prepared for it to repeat.

    I have been playing this game since the literal only thing to do was grind Training Grounds for 1st place every day. It's been increasingly harder to motivate myself to play over the past couple years—as other commenters have put it, it feels like work. I don't need my games to a be a chore.
    I don't need to have razor-thin margins for missing charges in Coalition events when you could just as easily have the number of charges be uncapped for those of us who can't play every day of the weekend but still want to participate. I've had to drop from a Top 10 Coalition to Top 25, Top 50, Top 100, Developmental, Try to Show Up, and now finally just a It's Here If You Ever Want To Play Coalition. But I don't. I don't ever want to play. Because the last dozen times I've gotten psyched up about participating in a weekend event, that excitement has lasted an average of 1 game before something happened to ruin it. Game locked up. Got run over by a 10-mythic deck the week a new set came out. Lost to a degenerate loop deck. Lost while stalling trying to fulfill some uninspired bonus objective that doesn't even register properly...
    I just opened the game. There are currently 4 things you can do. They all have an entry fee. There is currently nothing free to do, not even Training Grounds. What kind of cash grab has this game become?

    I agree with everything above. There is no good for your own intrest to have a "I need no more cards" loop in standard game, ppl just stop invest in game.

    Retroactively put a limit on the number of times an effect can take place, per turn, on all loop cards.
    It's a lot of work, but consider the benefits. You could increase the attractiveness of new cards, allowing you to keep selling new cards.
    Just increase the number of times per turn, if you want a new card to be more powerful.

    I’m in agreement with what has been so far. What I don’t get is you fixed the Rem/mechanized warfare combo quickly by nerf rem to only 3 times per turn. Why can’t that same solution be fir Danithlia.

    Also o get you are trying be on par with WotWC but you don’t have to follow them on everything. I look forward to the rotation every year. It makes you play cards you have that you haven’t played before.

    I totally support everything stated above. I apologise for my English in advance. I don't quit the game and still participate during weekends is not because the game is fun, but because of my love and huge respect to our coalition family. I cannot let the guys down. I try to still use my charges even if it is close to 2 am in the morning. It maybe sound strange, but my favourite event now is A World Reborn, since there are no stupid 'I win' loops. Dear Devs, it's really annoying to spend 30 mins on a match thinking that you've won and then have Danitha /Blade played against you. Recently it was almost a rage quit for me. I've been playing MPQ since 2018 and it is really sad how bad the situation is now. It even made me register here and leave a comment. Remember this meme from some riot, where a girl was holding a sign saying "It's so bad, even introverts are here"? This is the situation. First super annoying this was this Ajani (still annoying even after you tried to fix), now these endless loops. And by the way, almost all PvP event matches are Ajanis and Dakkons.
