I remember when I first started this app and how Fun and Exuberant it seemed, from the creative Showcases of each user to the simple feeds of each channel, it wasn’t even all about the collecting more than it was the friendly encounters you could get by meeting through Trades, Comments, etc. If you were the hardcore collector focusing not on making friends, but rather getting to the point, it worked in that way too, allowing for a reasonable amount of coins every few hours, and the ability to Trade your goods for others.
Now, it seems, the fun has died, seeing as the removal of Showcases and then ultimately Shelfies marked the end of Creative posts altogether. Coins were pretty noticeably reduced, in exchange for intense “HEY! BUY US!” Coin Pop-Ups. But hey, let’s not forget about Selling! we now have the ability to dump all of our ill-gotten coins into a single, overpriced, low-odds set just to either get nothing, or get something not nearly as valuable as how much we put in to obtain said item.
These changes caused such an uproar, players literally tried finding ways of “fixing” their devices to not install any updates, period. It never worked, and those (including me) that miss the first this app were pushed out.
If you are a new player, see for yourself how restricted this game can feel, knowing all the opportunities in the past.
If you are a returning player, don’t even think about it, you’ll most likely be disappointed.
