JDGHOST: But the fact that nobody has even responded to the massive Issue #1. of the inability to get a Random multiplayer game in every format except "Coin Crush" rooms
You missed that part, Champ explained it a bit. Read his post and you'll get the sense of the crush that's going on at WGT right now. He alludes to that lessening and was positive about exactly what you and a zillion others are yelling about, myself included.
This harkens back to what Flash went through in evolving-a painfully slow process across many updates. I'm anticipating the slog back through the Beta woods while WGT figures it out. They'll get there, just not as fast as we all want.
In the meantime, we get nuggets like getting rid of that obnoxious flashing chat message. TYVM for that at least. It's gonna take some patience but the game is infintely playable and Flash is becoming a distant memory, as I suspect it probably is for many of my ilk. ;-)
