I agree with what you wrote. I bought rubies when they were offered cheap when I started playing. I only use them for eyeglasses, which I also use sparingly. I admit that sometimes I take a photo of the scene with my phone, pause the game on my IPad, then take my time finding the items on my photo before unpausing the game. It's the morph mode that sometimes beats me. Once you get past level 25 or so, the cheap deals are gone. People here comment that they spend $50 per month or so on the game. For me, it's just a game which I enjoy immensely, but I won't spend much money on it. I'd be happy to watch ads if necessary. I agree that they have calculated how to optimize the frustration level to lure more experienced players to spend more money. You must have studied math/statistics/marketing like I did. I'm not falling for it. I may uninstall, reinstall, and start over with the knowledge I have about the game to get the joy back. I no longer care about completing collections.
