I think its a problem that workaround solutions are constantly presented as fixes for game problems on this board. That doesn't address or the issue or get discussion going on solutions.

The challenge in this game should be related to what players to get and when and how to use them, not trying to make sure the game mechanincs and undocumented features don't mess you up in an unexpected way. The competition should be difficult, not trying to play itself. The effort needed to make the right moves should take up our time, not figuring out how the game really handles variables x,y and z.

Criticism and bugs don't kill a product - its not trying to address those things appropriately when they appear that does.
