I'm not going to strongarm anyone, but I am missing out on TONS of experience, and as a beginning player I feel that this first part is crucial in my "development". I sincerely hope that there's a big enough reward to account for my 9 hours of no play time... Like, I should have leveled up 5 characters 4 times by now at least. I should have the daily event almost completed, about 100-200k in gold prize fights. Meanwhile, iPhones are playing away just fine with the game, already completing the second origins story and everything. This is a WHOLE lot of inconvenience that they will have to make up for.
I've even tried dashing away now, swapping characters, and blocking, but as soon as I land a hit, it freezes. Anything short of a free gold character for lost time at this rate is not enough. I'm sorry, I don't mean to be a jerk, and I'm not like, out for blood, or trying to attack anyone. I love the game, it's great. But I love it so much, and I'm super disappointed I can't play, I just think a free gold character is an answer to my dilemma that I would find acceptable.
