Elite Mode, a different prospective.

There are only 3 differences between Normal Mode and Elite Mode;


 * 1, the freedom to play cases randomly,


 * 2, the ability to play up to 3 (maybe 4, I still need to make sure of that) cases at a time,


 * 3, the hardship to earn stars.

But what do these three differences have in common?! Yah! They have something in common.

They heavily consume, exhaust to be exact, your energy stocks.

My guess is that the developers noticed that a player, with an average of 500 teammates, accumulates up to 200 daily energy bolts per day (bonuses and extra energy from messages) due to the sequential nature of the game.

After playing about 50 cases for 200 days in a row that player ends up with 200 Burgers, 200 Potato Chips, 600 Orange Juices & around 3K energy on the bar; not to mention the card trade-ins.

That player might not need to buy any meals at all, which cuts a great deal of the developer's earnings, and we all know that is what business is all about, Profit!

So, by introducing Elite Mode that player will start replaying his favorite cases again due to the newly introduced random selective nature of the Elite Mode, each case requires twice the time to conclude the case and at least twice the energy to earn stars, he still will be rewarded with the burgers and so, but if you weight it against what you have already consumed, then the player is losing by far.

One last point on the matter; this is not a complaint since I'm not going to resell those stocks, I'm just putting myself on the other side of the table and looking into things... with a different prospective.
