@knewred I'm sorry if someone already said it already I just hate it when people are completely unwilling to accept that some people can't leave something unfinished and just have to get all the badges they can.
And anyway, I actually like this game, but it is way to monotonous and it takes way to long to really get anywhere. At least in other games like this you join the global community immediately. Having to wait for at least a month to do so is a bad decision in my mind.
@jaaaaackk Did it ever occur to you that maybe some people find it fun to collect all of the badges? There are people who are known as "collectors" and "completionists" these people may play for a slightly different reason than you, but they are still having fun in the way that they play.
I personally am both a collector and a completionist and although I like this kind of game I most likely will stop playing when I get the badge since there isn't anything to accomplish. It is a never ending cycle of build, attack, get attacked, rebuild.
Who's the one who needs a life now? The badge hunters who will get their badges, feel like they accomplished something, and then go to do something else. Or the people who play this game nonstop so that they can try and get to the top of the leaderboards and stay there.
You can play however the hell you want to, but stop mocking others for having their own playstyle.
