Zynga Continues to RUIN Mafia Wars

Zynga continues to make changes that make this game seem less and less fun to play.

Negative Changes (made within the last 6 months):
  • Overhauling the combat formula
    (many people invested a lot of REAL money to increase the stats of their mafia wars characters)
  • 25 job help / city / day cap
  • Nerfed cash payouts from a range of money received to the bottom of original range
  • Nerfed experience for jobs "Bank Heist" & "Run Illegal Poker Game"
  • Removal of Robbing on Sep24-2009 with no replacement ready to go (Robbing is still not available)
  • Continue to "BETA" test features on different players (Properties VS Properties VS Rackets VS Rackets )

Negative Changes (made this week):
  • Social Fight Experience removed (AKA Capo Fights)
  • Fighting - experience received reduced by ~10% (was ~2.47-2.50 XP/stamina ... now is ~2.25-2.30 XP/stamina)
  • Fighting - loot received reduced COMPLETELY. We are now FORCED to SPAM our friends for a "Secret Stash". (see screenshot below)
  • Promote to Top Mafia links no longer work. There is NO WAY for a lot of people to promote their friends to their Top Mafia. Some people have 100's of pages of Mafia Members. Links that used to work for promoting to Top Mafia no longer work.
  • Wishlist Add links no longer work. How is someone supposed to add an item to their wishlist if they don't have that item? No problem with collections but for other items (equipment, boosts, etc) ... this functionality is no longer available.

Moscow Expansion:
  • Jobs - experience / energy ratios were subpar (compared to higher job tiers in New York and ALL job tiers in Cuba)
  • Fighting - Moscow loot has NEVER been available from fighting. Many players anxiously awaited for this to occur ... yet disappointment continues.
  • Rubles - the cost of inventory for required on jobs was ridiculous. This was corrected to some degree with "Moscow Retuned" but that was really a "day late and a dollar short"



Not to mention the countless glitches that negatively affects our ability to play the game. Many of us aren't even
