To the disgruntled players...

[Unregistered]

If you do not like this game or the developers or the way they manage the game, could you please tell me why you keep coming to the board and complaining? It reminds me of people who hate their job, complain all the time but don't go look for a new job.

You must like the game enough to stay involved. Do do you just like to stir things up on the board? I'm pretty sure the developers are not going to change how they do business based on your angry comments. And why are you so angry? It's a GAME, JUST A GAME! You don't have to play it. There are 60,000 other apps for you to try.

Anyway, I wish you would leave the forum to those of us who like the game, want to learn more about it and help the new players!

I agree with you. Though I'm beginning to think they're not players but are actually employees of competitor games.

I suspect, at least hope, that competing games would not be so slimy as to send out employes who post profane, rude, unintelligible stuff. In my view these are actually just bitter, low-intellect individuals who are probably the same in most other areas of their lives. Losers all.
For those of us who enjoy the games, let's keep our focus. I try now to just read past the rants and it is much less stressful. Someday there will be User Registration, which will put an end to the Axis Of Evil that is the TL forum.
I hope you all are enjoying your games and the updates, however small they maybe.

There is a big difference between those who post porn and use disgusting language and those of us who are not happy with TeamLava. We do love the games....it's the company we are upset with. We keep coming on here, because this is the only way they will know the reaction to the way they treat customers. We have as much right to come here and complain as you do to come here and praise them.

If you want to talk about crazy, the people who do not care about all the lies, *****ing and gem traps are either employees trying to knock down any criticism, or lack any moral concern about the way this company operates.

I hope they implement registration as much as anyone....perhaps it will be possible for a child to come on this forum. Also, hopefully TL's bully boys will have to be respectful of everyone's opinion.

Does anybody no why
My gems have gone. I haven't
Bought anything I had 13 and

When I spent cash, I do expect something in return ~~ it is just fair and common sense.
These TL bully just ignore the facts and pretend everything is ok while it definitely is not.

We're not the bullies. The so called unhappy ones are. Whenever there is even a slight positive comment, the bullies come out in force hi jacking threads, insulting people. They can't for a second respect that just because they have an issue not everyone has an issue. Then there's the mental case posting porn, especially on non negative threads. Nice try deflecting who the real bullies are.
Just because it's not ok for you doesn't mean it has to be an issue for everyone else. That's the whole arrogance of this group. If someone isn't angry or upset they get attacked in the rudest fashion.

Well sorry you're upset. But I'm not. I like the games. I've been playing almost a year and I don't feel the company has treated me poorly personally. I've spent money too. But I got what I paid for...clip art. I don't pay for future. No one owes me anything. That's my opinion and I'm as entitled as those who think it's ok to be nasty negative name callers.

This is exactly what the op was going on about. If a thread isn't negative or angry towards TL, then someone just has to post something stupid like your comment. Not everyone has a problem with these games, so why is it that the moment we make a comment stating that, someone like you automatically thinks we work for teamlava. Grow up, dude.

[Unregistered]

People who express anger or unhappiness also get attacked...regularly. And called nasty names and everything else. You came on here and attacked people because they do have issues with the company. Anytime someone posts a thread complaining about something, they are sure to be attacked, called a mental case and a lot of other insulting language. How about this: You stay off our threads and we'll stay off yours?

Yes, people do get called names and things, and it doesn't matter which side of the arguement they are on. The thing I have an issue with is the way people word their posts. I realise that members are upset about things, and that anger takes over, but I feel that there are better ways of wording things. You would less likely to be attacked if you (and I dont mean you personally) are a little more polite than just outright rude. The language in some of the posts on this forum is just disgusting. Wouldn't you rather read a post, whether it agreed with you or not, that isn't abusive or full of foul language and filth? I dont care at all if a person disagrees with me, so long as their reply doesn't just attack for the sake of attacking. You catch more bee's with honey.... Your last line in your post is exactly what I am talking about.

it doesn't matter if your polite or rude...you get attacked anyway. And the attackers never address your point. They just say all the say things they always say, without addressing your point. Usually with a few references to mental illness, name calling and other vile language. i did not call you any names. I did not use vile language. I simply suggested that since this is such a problem, for both sides it would be better not to mix in. It's too bad that people can no longer have a discussion and acknowledge a person's right to disagree and have a substantive convo about the issues, but that seems to be the way it is on here.

I agree with you. Though I'm beginning to think they're not players but are actually employees of competitor games.

I agree they keep pushing tap farm games.. I went and tried them and guess what you cannot do anything good without buying their bucks. at least with story games you get the same crops, food, etc and can play the game without spending any money. You may not get all the fancy decorations, but I have nbrs that cannot afford to have any fancy items but they use the regular items in creative ways.

I can afford to purchase gems but if I could not I would be very happy that other were buying the gems so my game stays free.

Firstly, I wasn't the person you were originally applying to. Second, I know you didn't call anyone names, and you didn't use vile language either. I was actually agreeing with some of what you had to say. People do get called names, and it doesn't matter what side they are on. I didn't actually mean to offend you in any way, and if I did I applogise. The only part of your original post I actually referred to was your last line, which came across (to me) as being nasty, whether you meant it or not.

I dont actually agree with the not mixing thing. To me the whole point of this forum is to discuss the games, and even though it is getting bad, a discussion needs to have the many different sides and ideas to be able to work properly. What would the point of a thread be if everyone agreed? How could you bounce ideas of each other if you all thought the same thing? It is just such a pity that the threads have just become a place for name calling and filth.

You can help the new players by telling the the truth, I came on the board to discuss TL issues and problems.
The following are the sticky points, let see if you can counter them -- without asking us to leave the forum altogether.

- the FREE WEEKLY UPDATES never happened for all story games
- when updates came around, you have to spend real cash to buy them, and NO; you would not be able to pick what you are buying. It is a random draw with repeated item. For example; If you spent $15, you could have 3 of the same items.
- if you reach a higher level, the game will be bored as there is a limit on expansion and items. I spoke as a player on Level 70 with 20 Millions game coin, but no more expansion and no new item to buy.
- and the constant lies http://forums.teamlava.com/showthread.php?4579-Update-Coming-Soon!

I am helping others so that they will not spend time &/or money on TL games.

If you guys are happy, good for you... I want to stop others that may become disgruntle due to the above facts.

A_disgruntled_player - thanks i spent 50 dollars all i got was 6 candles .so today i deleted... u are right waist of time is boring

So let me get this right... You gambled 6 times and unfortunately got the same thing? The box is a gamble, a lotto. You knew when you tapped the icon to buy the box that it was all a matter of luck, so I dont understand why you are so angry. Why didn't you stop after 2 or 3? I am sorry, but in this case I believe that you only have one person to be angry at... youself.

Is stupid he or she should get a refund 6 candles in a row. No fair.. I wont mind getting a candle a poster,ouch six candles..go play tiny chef
i only had 24 gems and i got a stupid sign..i get better stuff at the amusement park.. Btw random don't mean repeats,, it means different stuff

[Unregistered]

Random can absolutely mean repeats! That's what random means-no pattern! No where does it say no repeats? You might get 6 candles then not see a candle again in 200 purchases. It's...random! Look it up.

[deadpix]

<--snip-->
Btw random don't mean repeats,, it means different stuff

Ummm....no, here's the definition of "random": http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/random
Particularly applicable here is the second (number 2) adjective definition.

To make it simpler, what it means is that if you bought 1,000 tickets for a sure-win lucky draw competition and the prizes, won at random, happens to be any of 1 Ferrari, 5 Toyotas, 20 Motobikes, 100 Bicycles, 500 skateboards, 5,000 model Ferraris or 100,000 cans of Campbell's Cream of Loser soup, it is all too possible that you'd walk home with only 1,000 cans of soup.

Who like the random draw at $4.99?!

Anyone? ... Case closed.

Like the other poster said, I just dont understand why, after getting 2 or 3 or even 4 candles, why would you go back and try again? This isn't TLs fault, the OP was the one who chose to keep trying.

Don't like it? Think $4.99 is too much to spend on a random draw?

THEN DON'T BUY IT! No one made you spend your money. It's that simple!

Now....case closed!

The reason people keep trying to get something from the boxes is that there are no updates. Everything new goes into a Magic or Holiday Box. The only way to get new content is to try for something. So much for Free Weekly Updates.
I did this at Christmas...all I wanted was a Christmas tree . Norman had previously said that they had reduced the chances of getting duplicates. But that wasn't true either as there seems to be more duplicates than ever. That is why people get upset. if we had regular updates with new content...a few for coins and then the rest for gems, people would be know what they are getting and therefore choosing what they want. I don't understand how TL doesn't see that they could be making more money and have happier customers, but I guess they don't care about that.

[Unregistered]

Even if they have to have those magic boxes, which I would never spend money on since I want no parts of gambling, I don't see why they couldn't offer some of the items for sale at a later date.

Because then you would have people complaining that they had to buy the magic box after they make them available just to buy. It would start a whole new arguement.

Language! Language! Why so hostile? When you take a gamble, that's just what it is, a chance to win and a chance to loose. I don't buy unless I know what I'm getting. Then there's no regret and anger.

Poor dude. I wish there was a way people with chest items could swap items with neighbors. Like an agreed trade. My rabbit for your pink panda etc. Would save a lot of heartache, but then again, would not give devs their $$$. Which is the easier option for all? Hrm.

How many threads are there on the stupid box and you all keep putting the gems into them? All the games out there have the box or crate and THEY are the biggest waste of money for you. TL, Storm8, Zynga they all know how to suck the money out of you so you can redesign that virtual space to impress all your fake friends you don't know.

Maybe you can take a picture of it and use it on a resume someday. It's just a stupid game, in 5 years it won't be here and neither will your money so who cares.

The fact that Norman and the team have the time and energy for "Question of the Day" contests and a gem contest over on restaurant story ( which involved several back and forth posts and approval by the team) and yet they do not have the time, energy or respect for their customers to address the porn situation here and other equally troubling situations speaks volumes about their business ethics. Go ahead and bash me TeamLava lovers but you know I am right.

The reason tl acts so coldly is beacuse soo many people play their games so they just think they can get away with anything but if enuff people quit playing and they aint making no money off us i bet they would change their attitude towards their customers.....i been play zygna games on my pc hey its just as fun lol and no where near as much drama and lol zygna has a phone number yall and they reply to u and the games r up to date and there isnt 20 extra pop ups on their games when u try to enter them. I personally think tl is just a bunch of crooks they dont care bout nobody but our money we spend/waste .

Secondly, If u have so much of problem with TL games and need to crib so much about it, why dont u quit the games and the forums instead of complaining all the time !
