Monster Battles - Portals

Definitely NO ! The game is near-death, the devs don't really care anymore or do not demonstrate it much at all, the game has been going down a downward spiral for a while and there doesn't seem to be an end to it. I do NOT know WHY they call this game "TCG", there is No auction house, there is NO trading whatsoever, you cannot even sell your cards to other players. Now, it is 100% PAY to win and thus cheaters and hackers in the game have gotten a free pass many times because they have spent real life money into the game and therefore control the PVP part of the game unfairly. MANY MANY players and Veterans (myself included) have alerted the Devs and they simply do not care even if they pretend to do. Many players and veterans have quit this game thx to the VERY slow to almost non existent evolution/development of the game and many other reasons. They changed the PVP part of the game, trying to "improve it" but have simply given up afterwards; therefore cancelling any Positive change they might have done so far. As an OLD player myself (with a LOT more time played then shown here) and a lot more experience shown in my (achievements), the most egregious part of their attitude is making changes to the game and then LYING to the players about it, saying they did not change said and said aspect or detail about the game when any OLD player know very well they HAVE changed those specific details. Tournaments are now almost unplayable compared to what it was before and they do not care OR they want it like that which is even worse. ALL I see now are negative comments about tournaments and I see new players quit the game as fast as they have tried it and given it a chance. A few years back, I would have recommenced this game now, stay away from it ! They are getting the deserved results imo ! What is even more frustrating and incomprehensible, all my previous experience in the game was wiped when I jumped from Kongregate to Steam, I had to start afresh and lose the 1.5 MILLION experience I had accumulated over the YEARS, that is plain and simple stupid and LAZY and again, they do not care; if they do, they have not shown otherwise or proposed any way of fixing it. Eventually, you amass a TON of raid points to be able to craft mega legendaries and buy shards but don't have the gold for it, before we had the auction house where we could make gold and sell the cards we do not need, now, making gold is a problem, especially when you've completed every single level of the adventure/map mode. As a Gym creator/leader, It's hard to keep a full compliment of 15/15 players active, lots just leave as fast as they have joined the game, MANY just start their own gyms with very little to no experience whatsoever thus taking some good active players and spreading them all over the place instead of having a few GOOD active gyms. Just about ANY new player can just start their own gyms, it's pretty ridiculous. Then they wonder why no one joins their gyms and why they can't do a thing and/or complete any raids by themselves... the result: they quit the game... Making new gyms should have much higher requirements in player experience and a minimum of NON FS-random (CPU generated names) players required to start a gym. Out of the hundred+ current gyms, only like 10-15 are active, maybe 5-10 more are semi-active and the rest are totally and utterly useless and pointless ! Yet, more and more gyms get created and the problem deepens... My 2 cents !
