I understand all the griping about the current bugs and the time it takes to get them resolved, some of it is laughable.
But as someone who started back in the Flash days, then took quite a few years off, it is a much better experience for me now. Granted, I wasn't around too long in Flash before I quit, but my biggest gripe then was the constantly jumpy meter that made the game almost unplayable at times, no matter how many times @Pdb1 told you to "clear your cache". I don't see any of that now, and that alone makes the game better to me.
Some of the game is better, some not so good, but as someone who played both platforms I don't find it to be anymore of a 💩 show now. I'm willing to bet if you searched the forums far enough back you'd see plenty of griping about bugs in Flash just like now.
Plus now there is Discord, which is 1000 times better than this (forums) for getting a reply to your issues.
