I wish there was a way to exclude people from threads because this redbird guy is just derailing it hard for no reason

I like this idea but I like the idea of not nerfing her more. Kabam's reasoning doesn't make any sense so why not tell the truth and say the player base can't have nice stuff. I'm fine with nerfing champs if it makes sense but common, this one is hard to justifiy.

the only signing bonus items were the t6cc and units every thing else was daily

It's a mystery that Kabam isn't saying anything about and will either lead to something fun or something that they thought was going to be fun and ends up being a pile of nothing. We will find out whenever the mysterious amount of time leading up to whatever this is is over.

First step to quitting is not selling overflow, it's quitting your alliance.

Being part of an alliance puts social pressure on continuing to play the game even when someone doesn't want to.

That's the first cord you need to sever if you want to quit.

The second step is to not post a complaining I'm quitting thread. If you're quitting, just quit. Everything else is drama and shows you're still emotionally invested and hoping for some kind of validation and acknowledgement that you matter to this game.

Spoiler: You don't. No one does. Play if the game is enjoyable, quit if it's no longer enjoyable.

This is the most blatant form of a bait and switch because they actually pushed the ensnare on offence of a key part of this champs kit saying look you know that nasty defender you’ve wanted us to nerf, well she shuts down one of his key mechanics.

It’s like you buy a car with a turbo in it and then 6 months later they call you and say you have to bring the car back cos we are taking the turbo out. You still have the car but it’s not as good

I suspect that the reason why it feels as if a lot of things changed when those two left had less to do specifically with those two leaving and more to do with the reason why they left. Miike was fired during a "company streamlining" and Jax seems to have left of his own accord a little while later. However, if I recall correctly, they weren't the only ones from the community team to leave/be fired during that time, which is why communication was such a **** show for a while afterwards.

I wouldn't be terribly surprised if the workforce was trimmed down to reduce costs and the team got orders from up high to increase the game's profitability, which is why it might seem as if things have started to change under the new (community) management. Obviously those guys aren't in any way in charge of anything that has to do with game monetization, but it seems reasonable that they might have come in at the same time as things began to change.

I haven't had any huge issues with the content that has come out since Miike and Jax left. With the wholesale exception of this month's EQ and some annoyances with the Wheel of Fate and its rewards, I still think that the game is currently in the midst of a fairly unprecedented winning streak, content-wise, ever since Necropolis launched.

That said, it's hard not to notice the increased number of sales and how more and more meta champions are paywalled off from the rest of us for longer and longer periods of time. I think that's where the real problem lies, and that feels very "corporate overlords are meddling in stuff for profitability's sake," which could potentially tie in with the firing of Miike/the other Kabam people at the time and the subsequent loss of Jax. I'm not definitely saying that there is a correlation there because I simply don't know; I'm just saying that I wouldn't be terribly surprised if that was what tied those seemingly very different things together.
