Yeah, that is the other underlying factor in my choice to not play the game: poor customer service. I honestly would have been done probably a month or more ago with the wonder challenges, if not for the slider bug. Thankfully, none of the bugs like fusion or random crashes affect me. The gifting pop-up affected me for a while, but once I whittled down my queue, it went away. Now I accept the few I get, but don't gift back when I do. The only real one that gets me is tipping and how long it takes. I retry every update, but haven't had luck. I'm not going to sit here and spend 100 minutes tipping 100 people because it takes a minute to load another village. Sorry, but that's the way it is. Until tipping speeds greatly improve, I'm not going to tip. That's basically my reason for not playing as much anymore. I generate enough crystals on my own now that I can remain self-sufficient apart from buying, so if I want to, I can spend without giving them any (more) of my hard-earned money. The one time I did spend a significant amount of money on the game (a $70 crystal package during the sale; usually bought at least one $5 a month during those sales and didn't care), I immediately regretted it. The first thought was, "that could have bought you a real game!" Oh well, it's in the past, and TinyCo's wallet will not see any more of my money.
