Not to be that guy, but after 2 years, surely this can't come as a surprise to you?

Sure, you're right, but I'll stick to my optimistic view of life. :-)

It has something good: I won't have to spend much time on that game in the forthcoming days. 

really sad, usually game companies give players something on the anniversary day, but not here we don't.

Yeah, it's a whales' world and whales need no gifts, reasonable players are not taken into consideration. That's RSL life!

It is underwhelming and a few clan mates seemed to think it might have been a prize in the local tournament and were dissapointed (apparently this was the case with sir nick) 

But to be honest this is in line with my experience over the last 7 months since i started. So- it is what i expected

I have champs i need to level anyway, i may reach the lego book and i guess ill take it.

I have a draco anyway so wasnt that worried i guess.

yup exactly what I expected for some reason, the sir nick thing again

Don't worry, I'm sure they are just fairly playing the game and spending a bit of money on energy now and then and aren't auto-farming 24/7 AND 2x speeding it.  

Yeah, probably they're bots. ^^

The first one has already more points (after 8 hours) than I had after 3 days playing constantly (manually). Crazy!

I have got none of the first class aoe weaken and def down spammer. I, too, was expecting a Sir Nic like comp and I really was looking forward to it and was ready to aim for winning the (local) comp as I had during last Xmas time (without any help of a clicker or whatever ^^ - jeeeez, how crackbrained I am!). 

Thank god it's only a game. Wailing and complaining about it is kind of pathetic, yeah, but it's even more pathetic to go for a global win under these circumstances, but most pathetic is the game strategy behind that all. Cheers!
