Well some tasks still allow them I think (like the really simple dungeons and adventures), but anything worth playing for they are disabled. Which I get, due to the p2w nature of the game they would get in the way and the 'rich' players would beat you senseless. I just wish they would eliminate them entirely and stop 'rewarding' us with unusable items

So this might be first defect with the new island.

First thing I did when I saw the new island was to create 3 legendary habitats. I ligned them up along the back and right side of island. When I came back to a short while ago, I only see TWO of the habitats and they're now along the front. I cant even find the third island, and I know it has to be somewhere because the worker count says three (i have the premium island active).

@mamawjane thats great, you have a very dedicated and supportive team. And it looks like your team spends a lot time planning and preparing,which is cool if it works for you and you enjoy it.

Our team is more casual than that, which doesn't mean we are not competitive. We are just random people that came together to play a game. Some of are students, some of us work full time. Some of us are parents, some of us are children. Some of us are f2p, some of aren't. I say that to say that your was is not our way. But we are still a dedicated team whose goal is be competitive, without it becoming a second job.

We just see the game differently

@mamawjane I get what your saying, but in the long run it discourages TEAMWORK. And to be honest I dont even like the fact that in a competition you pay to skip part of it. Imagine a basketball player handing a ref some 'tokens' and saying let's skip the jump ball...

I get that it's the game, but it's been a problem to me. I dont care if you want to spend thousands of gems to get monsters or whatever, but I just dont like that aspect of the pay to win strategy. I do it, because otherwise I'm defeating myself and holding back my team, but I still dont like.

I actually think they remove the individual rewards for the race. They removed it from the battlegrounds where I wasn't as nearly as big of an issue. Individual rewards actually puts team members against each other.

The worst is when they gems a very easy task like breed 20 commons, just for points.

So I just lost 4 attacks in team battlegrounds. I start to attack and it says attack is not available, throws me out but I now dont have that attack. Out of 10 attacks I got to actually complete 6. So i lost 400 points.

Anyone else have this happen?

Yeah..they will not hear this....
Asked for more avatars choices, what do they do? Monetized it. Seriously, 400 (ohwait..I think they reduced it 140) gems?
Gave us live duels, then killed the classic version so we can spend 20 gems for the grand duel. All of these things are geared to players with bottomless pockets. I am not f2p player, but I'm not spending 1000 a month just for a game.

Basic bait and switch tactic

+1 noticed this also

@sansot
When I did if it only asked me about the three I selected
