And wouldn't ya know it - rebooted, set it up - went to bed - it stalled after 60 games.
So sorry.   I have it running now and haven't encountered a problem for a couple hours.  It's when I can't keep an eye on it that I have problems.  LOL

PB World Class auto is not great in my opinion.  Still doing the same things as always, tripping up the game and all progress.

PB updated Class World Buddy yesterday and it seems to be playing fine so far.

Yeah, I was just on my way to post - it's running GREAT!  It's been going for hours and hasn't stalled out once.
BW rocked Bejeweled Twist. So did PB, but BW cranks up the speed and blows through the ranks.

Greetings all,
Still waiting for an auto for World Class Solitaire HD. Either PlayBuddy or BW as long as they work.  BTW...a few weeks ago I was all caught up...after Turbo 21...I need a new challenge.

I used to like BW VERY much but have since felt abandoned by her.  She never came up with a true auto for Match N' Merge, Tumble Tiles and ... another one, I think.  Yes, she offers a service to do the ranks for you but it's too expensive and I'm not sure she stressed getting high scores/stars in the games.  The fact that BW stopped updating the HOG autos was enough to push me over the edge and not trust her product.  I paid for HOG autos and cannot use them now (for well over a year, maybe two).  I think that's unfair.  Prior to the hogs not being updated she never did that and I certainly wasn't expecting her to start.  All of a sudden, one day, no updates.  She already had my money and I only had a product that would work on episodes that were already completed.  I contacted her and she said that entirely too much of her time was being spent on updating all the HOGS (CLUE, Sherlock Holmes, Claire Hart, etc...).  I can understand that but then didn't you take my money under false pretenses?  I was told the price included updates and now it doesn't.  I think at least a 50% refund was in order, considering I did get some use out of the autos (which are now useless).  That's worse than renting imo.

We'll have to agree to disagree, Cat. You don't sell someone an auto promising updates then turn around and change your mind without offering a refund. I purchased CLUE and it's not being updated - not cool. THAT is how I compared her to BW, and I stand by it.

And I just went and looked  -  there's STILL nothing on her site that lets buyers know her CLUEY won't be updated. Also, not cool.

Other than that, for the most part she puts out fabulous autos. I still use her Mahjong Escape. It's quick and pretty danged accurate!

Cat, I agree with you.  I have never had a problem with any of her autos.  She responds to email within minutes and explains when an auto (Mahjong) will be updated and all she is doing to up date it.  She is also very open about the browsers to use, Chrome and Torch.  I do find when one auto doesn't work on Chrome with will work on torch.  I don't like the idea of only being able to "rent" an auto for a year............... totally turns me off.  Everyone has their preferences and reasons, this is just mine.

The latest 2 games Pogo updated to HTML5 have not been addressed by BW. I guess she/he isn't going to update those 2 autos for the new games, so there go $20 wasted. He/she did however make 2 new autos for $$ for the 2 new HOGs.

I'm disappointed in her. I bought autos that were supposed to be updated regularly and now she's not - just because she doesn't feel like it, I guess.

Time will tell, I guess. I used to think BW rocked - but she's leaving her customers in a lurch with her HOGs. And with no notification on the purchase page that they will not be updated? That's not honest business, if you ask me.

Yes, with PB I'm renting the autos, that's true. But with Pogo coming out with a game every month, and with new HOGs and puzzles like Solitaire Gardens and Mahjong Escape being released monthly, I think they're a bargain.  Plus they have fantastic customer service.

At first I thought PB wasn't a good value. I even talked to a couple people on this forum about them, but after a couple months, I'm hooked.

You have to also think, and know, that a programmer will have to go belly up sooner or later if they charge a one time fee for the autos. They will not have the $$ to support the site, let alone the programmer's paycheck. Also, PB is a sponsor here and thus should be acknowledged for their great service and autos.

Kudos to Mycat............very well said and written.  Thank you.  I think I agree with what you said.  I have used BW since 2004 and am very satisfied with the price and the service.....and I am choosy about what autos I will rent and what I will buy  ( but I prefer spending my money and getting the use of the auto without having to spend again and again,,,but if I like one because it works better I will rent that one for the term).... And I don't spend gems on the HOG games--if they are free I play them.

Hello my friends at Pogo Cheats.
No I do not agree with you in the link from BW to Badge Help.
BW has not charged me over $700 and then just stop doing a thing at all and leave with not a word.
I do not like to pay the higher price per month of almost $10 to RENT all autos only to use a few each month. PB is a good company and if you can afford their prices and like how they are able to jump on the new releases as fast as they do, then good.
I don't have to have the newest and latest releases done asap. I can wait and my waiting has shown the Solitaire Garden auto release from Badge Winners with the ability to get all the badges and focus on one level to repeat over and over to harvest the happiness badge seeds. A very nice savings. I don't have to pay $10 and rent an auto but own the auto for a lot less.
I don't buy all of the Clue or other HOG game episodes anymore because I don't like that Pogo is charging me a membership fee per year to play games and then they come out with games that I need to purchase gems to get or power ups. And because of my needs, I didn't even realize that updates were not being done with the Clue episodes. Do you think there are more players like me and really don't care? I know there are.
As far as the match and merge and the tiles games autos, I get the badges for the challenges completed with the Badge Winners autos and I don't care about not being able to get every single level done. If you do, do you realize that BW offers a service to do it for you for a lot less money then what Play Buddy costs add up to?
I appreciate that we have a choice. If you like PB good. If you can afford PB and rent then good. If you like to purchase one time for a lot less and own, then good. If you are going to demand every single auto to be in tip top working order, neither PB nor BW can keep up. We all know how Pogo has changed things to where no matter how hard either company tries to keep up, they both run into the inability to keep all autos running due to Pogo crap.
There are advantages to both companies and I think it is good to have a choice.
But to compare one company to Badge Help went too far for me to not say something.
I have been here for a while and am in support of this site and do not want it to become a place where a comment that is way off can be posted without a reply with why that is not accurate.
Yes, there is good for PB to say but also for BW. If some prefer one over the other then good. PB has a list of games that they are working on also. BW has a list for each game with date and what was done to fix it to work again. I don't see that detail at PB. They are different. If you like PB or BW it is a personal preference. And I hope this site will not allow  the attack on one over the other like I have been seen. Especially to say that this woman wants out of the business. Nope, I do not agree. There are many different players with different needs and I think both fit.
We have members here who are on top of the new games as soon as they are released and get them done asap. But there are members like me who are not players like this. I can wait. I don't buy all HOG episodes with gems.
I have seen the same members posting over and over and the loss of many who used to post and do not anymore. I wonder why that is? There is a list of peoples names across the bottom of the page of ones who have been here. Maybe it is for the great information provided by those who do post along with our Mayhem who always has updates on many items. But we need to be sure to keep our standards high in regards to what is said about one company or to compare a company as has been done here.
I do like each and every one of you. I enjoy your posts and  I missed you all when my computer broke and I did not get to read your posts and play and learn.
Let us be more thoughtful about what we say in regards to these 2 companies.
I have no issue in a post to support one or the other but my problem here was as stated above. That just went a bit too far and I don't believe it for a minute.
I have always gotten help when I needed it from BW. I have not asked BW why there are no more updates to Clue. I don't care because I don't buy them anymore. But if I did then I would write and ask. Maybe that is what anyone else should do so a true and accurate post can then be placed here with the reply and those interested can make an informed choice.
I do honestly feel both PB and BW work hard on their business and we each have a different need that leaves room for the both of them. Lets not single one out over the other. Good and Bad can be said about both due to preferences. It's a personal preference so let's be more thoughtful with our words. Let us be an example of the great site that this is and can be proud of each and every post that is made talking about another business or person etc.
Love you all and you know it too. I do believe you will understand too.
