I have always thought a realtime pvp (two actual players present in the match facing each other) would be truly difficult. An endless cutthroat chess game… A relentless struggle to deny each other moves and seize rare opportunities. But now I am beginning to understand that it would be nowhere as difficult as AI getting tons of cheaty lucky drops all the time. Just this. No other comments. ---

I can’t tell whether you’re posting just to say “I don’t have anything to say”, or whether you’re just starting a brand new “lucky drops mean the AI cheats” thread to go along with every other “the AI cheats” thread. I don’t foresee it being productive either way. ---

I am just frustrated. Needed to vent. I never agreed with those who said AI cheats, yet these days I am starting to see it myself. Maybe not all the time, but too often the AI shamelessly favors itself. And it’s getting to me. ---

You’re not crazy. Something changed in the past few days. Drastically. For the worse. ---

I’m getting sick of playing teams with a thousand less team power than mine and having to deal with each of their troops having well over a hundred combined armor and Hp. Even worse when they can rattle off 6-7 turns and I can’t get more than 1 match or two on a gem creator anymore. I’m all for playing cautious and whatnot, but things are just bigger and hit harder now.
