It does when the person you're facing is just as skilled as you. I used to be a lower end Valiant before I started spending, never made it past Q1 no matter how hard I was grinding then Cyberdeals hit I reached 30 r4s and now I'm sitting in M1 barely playing one match a day just to keep moving up with the rest. Haven't lost a single match against a person with less than 20 r4s unless my draft was actually complete dogshit, that quantity difference is a huge deal when both players actually know what they're doing.

And yes it's a bad design to have inventory limits for high end catalysts

It's counter logic to want players to spend and open huge number of crystals only for players to have difficulty clearing everything in the stash within 30 days

I hear whales saying they spent days during the holiday season trying to clear their stash, it's a bad design and bad playing experience

Just doing the daily super event and the daily quest will, if you're diligent enough, get you to something like 16K units over the course of a year. Doing just three fights in the 4* Arena will net you 26 units twice (I think it is?) per week, which adds up to around 2700 units in a year. That's super-low arena grinding, but it really adds up over time. Now you suddenly have almost 20K units to spend on the Banquet.

Completing even just the Classic version of EQ nets you 150 units on a monthly basis, which adds up to 1800 units in a year. If you get even a little Radiance, you can spend it on units there as well. I think you can get 750 units per month there, which adds up to 9000 units over the course of a year.

And now you're close to 30K units.

So you can definitely save up a whole lot even without grinding arena in any meaningful way, if you don't spend them (or at least not a lot of them) on other stuff throughout the year. If you do grind arena more, you'll have more units; if you use your units on other deals throughout the year, you'll have less of them.

I still spent some units on the occasional offer during both July 4th and Cyber Weekend, but for the most part I saved them for the Banquet. That allowed me to go into this event with a pretty sizeable nest egg. Of course, maybe you decide that you'd rather save your units for some other event instead - that's perfectly fine too. I've always preferred the Banquet since I really like the alliance/community aspect of it, but you do you.

I forgot to mention this

I skipped Cyber sales (Regal Ravanger event) bcos I don't need Super Skrull or Yondu for battlegrounds

Basically I compared the champions featured in both Cyber and Banquet as the main comparison

If you want Super Skrull or Yondu den pick Cyber

If you want Kingpin, Absorbing Man, Hulkling, Scorpion etc den pick Banquet

Also Banquet offers more value for your units compared to Cyber sales

I’m in a good position where I can spend on this game and can bench 315+ and deadlift 3x my bodyweight conventional. I think I’m doing fine.

but I try to keep things mcoc related. I been playing this game for 10+ years myself. I was “f2p” as a young person for first couple years

got my money up and spent here and there on this game. Back then telling people you $pent money on a game is crazy right lol.

not a lot of spenders are even on here on the forums. I really only spend on big sales 4th,cyber and Christmas deals to stock up on units. I grind arena and monthly unit deals and there plenty of unit guides out there to farm.

Nothing crazy.

But here’s something that’s worth a lot in real money that’s mcoc related.

Agreed.. I have enough points but do not want to get any emotes or pfp that are currently available

It's almost like this part of the community are a bunch of reactionary doom mongers out of touch with the wider game. Who'd have thunk it.
