Pardon the newb-ness of this question but being non-diamond until now I haven't payed much attention. Has there always been a timer on the puzzles?

It's currently at 15 seconds and as of last night, was only on the most recent ios update(yesterday). I'm guessing android will get the update very soon.

So it is something new not something I had overlooked. Cool... lets add some pressure to the puzzles lol.

From what I have heard, tappers already have workaround. They should focus on other things. Stuff like this just makes the game unplayable for the 99.9% of users that don't auto tap. I mean, I guess I've gotten used to the puzzles and its not so annoying as it was when first introduced, but if they keep adding layers to it (now a timer?) then at some point its going to be too much.

"tappers already have workaround" anyone shocked by this?!? It's just like in the non-tsb world, the criminal/hacker/whatever is always at least one step ahead of the regulators. This is not a statement against the tappers as much as an agreement with your point to just focus on a playable game with all things actually working (i.e. club challenge points on Monday's).

I agree that there's a fine line in slowing things down(they'll never stop it completely) and compromising the experience for everyone else. Imo, they should always error on the side towards the the 99% that isn't cutting corners.

When you say the other 99% that aren't cutting corners, what does that exactly imply? Cause its sounds like certain things are OK, (glitches within the game) but other things such as auto-tapping are not. Just curious where the line is drawn exactly. For all those people who preach death to auto tappers, are you so innocent to admit that you have never "exploited" any of the glitches the arise from the game? Seems like people are OK with some things but other things are not. Bit of double standard isn't it?

or is hypocrites a better choice of words here @Bigpredfan? Wanna make sure I get right words here, lol

For me it’s all encompassing.  Jail for autotappers, hackers or glitches but I would be equally happy if glu made it clear what is and isn’t allowed.  Just level the playing field.

So lets use that draft pick "technical" issue as an example here. There was a limited window a few weeks ago, not sure the exact date and time but after the fact it was posted in the news announcement (go figure the one time they use the feature). Basically some glitch in the system that basically levelled any player pulled up to your tier, g1, p1 and d1 I believe it was. I know for a fact that some of the very people on here that breach "level playing field" and basically the same point of view that you have @whynot were all over the LINE chats telling folks to start opening draft picks to take advantage of the limited window. That's my only point here, people are OK with some things but other things of a similar nature (level playing field for all) and blast people for it.  The game will never be an even playing field, how can someone be on the same level as a dude that spends $2500  a week on the game to a guy that spends 20$ a week for his FP. The game will never be an even playing field, especially more so now where you basically have to buy everything instead of earning it.

In an effort to educate some I have included the definition of hypocrite for reference. 

As you can see it does not include a person who has learned from past mistakes and has changed.  Nor does it include someone who wants the rules changed, but continues to follow the current rules (i.e. accepting points to compete as all others do, but at the same time, promoting a rule change to disallow it).

I totally agree with this statement, except for one thing.  Simply because a guy spent $2500 vs $20 doesn’t tilt the playing field, it’s still level IMO.  They are simply approaching the game in 2 different ways, the guy spending more SHOULD have a huge advantage and tight wads like me just have to accept it and adapt.

Now, when are you going to come drop dem points and put me in 1st @dkarski87?  🤣😛😛
