I have to say, as a neutral player in all this, the sense of entitlement is amazing. Nobody should have gotten any troops back. The fact that any of you did is like winning the Plarium lottery.
Anyone complaining that they didn't get enough free troops back that they willingly killed knowing they wouldn't get enough sapphs to revive those troops...
It's like complaining that you got handed the keys to a new sports car, but you don't like the colour.
Just be grateful for once that Plarium made a crazy decision and you made out from it.
You are right of course, I got back my 32k dragons, plus a gain of 8k dragons. During the first day of the comp I lost much more in def than I did in off, for what I thought were cracking prizes. Plarium made a promise to return all troops lost, not just the off, this hasn't been done this my friend is why I am upset and for no other reason. I have had that upgrade divine equipment to level 1 daily quest again HAS ANYBODY ELSE RECEIVED IT 6 TIMES, it's a joke, Plarium isn't fit for purpose.
