Info from Zynga Custumer Support
elaborated in great detail .... partially - unneeded text ... write just to write ....
ReplyDeleteExplanation: The family - part of the game that I still call the blackmail. To avoid any confusion, I am part of the family - and family in which they are great players and great friends. BUT! I personally still think that my family is all of nearly 5,000 people, friends who are on my friends list .
Why am I supposed to enter into a limited number of "family", so get some benefits? Why could not attract, compel, to motivate as many players to play more? Do we split apart my friends, on 50x100? Do I have played with all 5000 of my friends? Is it really all 5000 of my friends a member of any family ? What about those who did not? Are they deprived for family benefits, and on one way thereby blackmailed to join a family or make their own. I still think that this is a lousy job. - My opinion only.
personally, I think this is nothing more than Zynga trying to control, and profit from, something the mafia wars community at large built. Clans and family groups were built by the players...Zynga's greedy and shortsighted attempt falls far short of all the benefits of belonging to a true Family Group.
