You take things so seriously.
It's just a game. Sure it's addicting and I think we all get a little competitive when we're playing but some of the posts here expressing pure outrage make me laugh. As far as I know there is no cash prize for achieving first place and I'm pretty sure (CENSORED) after hearing the news that you made it into the top 10. But I could be wrong as I'm only ranked in the 800s right now.
The first problem I have with the game are that I'm not paying more money to upgrade equipment. I think they should be available to everyone with the option to buy them if you want to take the fast track. You reach a point where you have the best of everything that gold balls can buy, and then what? The equipment that costs real money should just have an extremely high gold ball price so there is still some goal left in the game.
Another gripe I have is with people who are always looking for a specific level of opponent to play. I'll play anyone. Who cares. If you're ranked high, you should be there for a reason and shouldn't feel concerned about losing a lot of points to a lower ranked player. You should be able to beat them. Sometimes I have to sit through a dozen players shooting in and out before I find one that will actually play. Pretty lame if you ask me. It's no fault of the game's, just the people playing.
It's still one of my favorite apps. A good way to kill some time.
