This game was initially a great fun! I played it all the time and even paid real money. Now, the waiting for research, fuse, and everything else has brought the pace down to the point that it is more frustrating than fun. I can now see myself slowing down, which will be the beginning of quitting all together in the near future. The WAITING to get things done is hurting the game and the player base. Did I mention that I paid real money already?
