yeah... it's not so much their tech stack as it is their interface and API-interaction design that makes things unplayable.

Don't get me wrong, I still love the game and I log in daily to get the basics done... it's just painful that it takes like half an hour just to send out a bunch of explorers and upgrade some buildings. And that's mainly just because every click waits for the API response and tries to load a new screen like three times for a single task.

I'm frequently ranting about this on their discord, too :P maybe I'll get the banhammer, too, one day :P
