Honestly, I started playing this game well over a year ago, and absolutely "loved" it. I even spent real money on it. I was hooked. Now, not so much at all. Whenever you play a game ANYWHERE ELSE the rules are already made, and SET IN STONE. Pretesting and everything else is done prior to release. Has anyone ever played Madden when EA forgot to add the players? NO, NEVER. If I called up EA and John Madden and complained the quaterback was too slow on the Denver team would they recall all the games and make him faster? NO, NEVER.

Changes like this ruin the game along with closing the mobstersapp.com site. I would think Playdom would be happy people are so inventive as to create property calcs, inventory calcs and other applications that save time and make mobsters more enjoyable. If it takes an hour to buy property and then you realize you've done it wrong or made a bad purchase, you're stuck. Plus you're out the time it took. I live in the real world and work for a living and don't always have ALL NIGHT to devote to a game. Most people don't use bots either. If you are so worried about it, spend a couple bucks and have some college kids monitor the application. I find it ironic that Playdom is worried about cheaters when they are getting sued for CHEATING AND STEALING from Zynga. When this game started who was the genius that had cheat codes available on the main screen? Talk about hypocrisy.

Anything that is created is done because of love for the Mobsters app. People will find a way for advantages, it's the way of the world. Certainly Playdom knows that. If the app was horrible no one would play it, and unfortunately it is getting that way. Don't be surprised if the flood of complaints only gets bigger and less people play.

"Fixing" things that aren't broken is what is awful about the management of the application. That and the absolute whoring out of lousy items for Godfather Points. I could buy an awful cape in real life for the same price as the awful cape in this game. Making items very expensive with real dollars instead of charging a huge amount of fake money with high upkeep in the game doesn't help either. Using the fake money generated by gameplay would only increase play and time invested. Instead you want me to mortgage the house to buy a bloody hockey mask or Bruce Lee? Are these blatant ripoffs of various pop culture icons approved? I bet Bruce Lee's family didn't get a nickel, nor did Rodney Dangerfield's (the borscht belt comic). The Black Mamba, Ghostbusters, even Doom has been ripped off. How about Batman? Playdom's hypocrisy knows no boundaries.

Please fix this game, the decision to cowtow to a relative minority of gameplayers who feel their experience isn't what it should be, poor planning and worse implementation is ultimately going to ruin the game and make your lives more difficult . I'd be happy to help out, to make this game how it should be, I'm Director of Operations for a company and know how a business should be ran.

Sincerely Yours,

Playdom should just all fire themselves and hire you! Maybe then Mobsters would be fun again and I wouldn't be planning on deleting all 4 of my accounts. lol

I hope Playdom is going to fix the energy issue, and not just remove it. sucks if thats what has happened

I have also spent real money on this game, i got my wife hooked, a neighbor and 2 of my friends. Ive been playing the game for well over 18 months.we are all online everyday for 1 hour at the min. You guys keep changing it so that the people that have just started and dont have billions on hand or 5, 6 ,7 ,12 billion bounties wont wanna play like we do. Honestly alot of others, including myself have talked about deleting this app all together. Think of the new players when you guys make changes. Mobsters dont alway kill cause your on the hitlist, watch goodfellas, casino, untouchables etc. Many got a beat down for opening their mouth without geting listed.
