Trophy Harder to Get?

[Kodiak]

Has anyone else had trouble winning gumball trophies lately? I play a few games every day and haven't won a trophy in weeks. I usually make it into the 20s, and last night -- for the first time -- I made it through all 30 levels, got my highest score ever (over 110,000 points), and STILL didn't get a trophy. Has anyone else noticed that the game is giving out fewer trophies than it used to, or am I just unlucky?

Wow - that would be so disappointing to go through 30 levels and no trophy. I get disappointed not getting it at 20! I really want this trophy! I hate that it is so random. People like you deserve it!

There have been reports of wins on levels below 10 in the last week. I won on level 24 a couple of days ago, and my first trophy - practically the first webkinz game I played - was on level 3 in September.

So, probably just a run of bad luck. I doubt that Ganz has the everyday expertise (or inclination) to fool around with game payout ratios - the game software is likely farmed out (because if there were actually in-house game developers, they would be able to fix the broken ones more easily).

Hope your luck improves! Finishing the game with no trophy is a truly rotten, heartless outcome. Level 30 should obviously guarantee a win. That kind of effort and skill should always be rewarded. IMO, every game needs a trophy, presented both as a slim random chance on early levels and as a guaranteed reward for mastery.

I'm really new here, so I hope you don't mind me bragging a bit...

I won a Gumball Trophy just the other day on just Level 4!! Yes, that's right...Level 4 in the Tournament Arena. I guessed the number within 3 guesses and won the trophy.

I suppose it was just pure luck, huh?

Bragging is welcome! We're all hoping to learn from each other's successes - even if it is just being patient enough to wait for lady luck.

Yeah, way to go dragonflies. May we all be lucky enough to hit paydirt on level 4...lol!

I won one on level 3 last week-earliest I have ever won one. I won two other as well-not sure what level but over 10.

I just won one yesterday on level 10 -- I didn't know you could win one in the Tournament arena!!!!!

Wow. I'm starting to think I'm just really unlucky!

I think you go through droughts. I got 5 or 6 trophies one night and then next day I had 8 or so 26-30 games with no trophies. Then I got one on 15 and another 2 in the upper levels. It can be frustrating when the game isn't putting them out.
