Demonzfyre it's not like I don't want competition it's the fact that I get put up against people with 10 r4 champs full roster of r3s in there to and I don't even have my first r4

That's....... competition.

Do you think running against professional athletes when you don't have one leg is competition?

What? That's not the same comparison. A better comparison is this-

The Colorado Rockies are the worst team in the MLB. By your logic, they shouldn't have to play the top teams that are in the same league as you.

BGs is like baseball. You're in the same league, some will be good some will be bad but in order to get to the world series, you have to face and beat the competition. If you can't beat those rosters, then you don't deserve to advance.

In baseball, the teams that don't make the postseason receive the first lottery picks in the draft, with the teams with the worst records getting higher percentages for their lottery entries. Teams that do make the postseason must wait to draft after. And there are penalties for teams that outspend their allotment in the pool, including a tax on overspending and the loss of future draft picks.

Baseball also doesn't have a regular season where the teams that dominated in the majors start the next season in the minors where they face minor league teams or amateur teams, with MLB awarding massive bonuses for beating them--bonuses which are then spent on buying the best available players and developing them.

What else a company supposed to do besides making money?

Provide the service they re supposed to as an entertainment company. Aka, entertain.

Try going to restaurants and eat without paying. Then tell them that they are in the hospitality industry and supposed to provide food and beverages. Let see if they agree with you for not paying.

Or simply if your boss doesn’t pay you for the work you do there.

The game is ads free, and free to play, what else are expecting?

I refuse to imagine how smart you must have felt when typing out those analogies. Think again for a bit, the request from the comment you replied to is nothing similar to what you just said.

Entertainment industry = give free movie tickets
Is that okay analogy for comparison?

No. Entertainment insdustry= make decent movies so I can be happy and eager to buy a ticket to watch them. You make something for everyone, f2p or p2p, doesn t matter. You entertain.

Once upon a time online games used to do that. They sold subscriptions to their games and everyone had to pay the same amount. They competed on the basis of whether they could convince people to pay for the ticket.

Guess who largely destroyed that model? It was the players, not the companies. The companies were happy to just keep charging people. But the instant the free to play gaming model appeared, the vast majority of game players flocked to it, and made it largely non-viable.

Game companies cannot compete on the basis of which game convinces everyone to pay. Because almost no one wants to pay, period. Not even in the most successful games these days do most people pay. Game companies compete on the basis of convincing enough players to spend a ton to compensate for the vast majority of players who refuse to pay anything. You want to go back to the days when everyone *had* to pay, and game companies competed on the basis of convincing everyone to pay them? Good luck. The game companies aren’t going to do it if it means corporate suicide. The 95% of the gaming population that wants to play most or all of their games for free isn’t going to hop aboard either. And the whales have no self interest in your crusade.

And to be blunt, the vast majority of people who are left probably deep down inside would rather complain about it than actually see it changed. Most of the gaming talking heads would have nothing to do if they were not complaining about game monetization.

That kinda leaves nobody left.
