Best Of

@KabamPinwheel legit question. Not a criticism, not a comment, just a hopefully easy question.

We've got you, Dork and Mike as the community team. Three guys where we used to really have mainly two. At this point, we understand clearly that Dave's job description doesn't involve much, if any, time interacting with the community. Got it. So that now leaves you and Mike. Perfectly good team to take on the task.

The trend that we have been experiencing since you all started is that when things are going bad, you all seem to disappear. And we can even go, often, and look at when you each last logged on and see that it's not a matter of not commenting, but also a matter of just not being here. And yes, there is more than just the forums to manage. So the question is, particularly when things go bad, where do you guys go? Why does trouble more often than not pull you guys away from the community rather than towards it?

Yes, you're gathering feedback, but sometimes none of you are here until hours later. Raids launch bugged and we get radio silence. New EQ days comes around, usually bugged, and you guys don't login to the forums almost at all.

The discord is well staffed with mods, but the guardians that once helped staff the forums have pretty much disappeared or have even abandoned the forums, saying they don't like to be here. So as a result, particularly in the more significant moments, no one is here. Why? What pulls the community team away from this part of the community? And that's not to say you guys are never here, because you are here a decent amount, and yes, you are more difficult to find, but it just feels like you guys why away when things are tough. Some insight into that would be helpful for all of us.

Forums would go away if Kabam had their way is my guess. They don't want the feedback here as they rarely have listened to the feedback for years.

Yes, sometimes a few will comment, but it's become more sparse.

If you think Discord is better, no. It's an echo chamber that typically does not listen or address anything. They simply post Announcements there that people find out about and come to forums to protest how absurd the changes continue to be.

Kabam only seems to want money and how they can squeeze it out of the most players.

Unfortunately, they seem to forget this is a GAME made for ENTERTAINMENT and escape of the real world. It's way more a chore and not convenient to many casual players now.

I also don't like when they always act like they are doing these badly taken (by the vast majority of the MCOC Community and Player Base) changes are for our own good or the good of the future of the game… It's gaslighting. There won't be a future after all the mess of 2025 Kabam and more specifically September 2025… And it's not over yet.

You can be profitable and make money without pissing off your player base. You can make MORE money when you are PRO-PLAYER but Kabam seems to refuse to grasp this fact.

I hope that Kabam Leadership makes things right but I won't hold my breath. 100% if this change sticks with Spider-Woman, I'm done come January 2026; I have had enough of what can only be described as a Toxic Relationship now.

Spider-Woman nerf (yes it's a NERF offensively though the communication tried to claim the opposite) is not the sole reason people are upset, but it's another straw that broke the camel's back after all the problems, issues and bad decision making from this company.

I see that @KabamPinwheel it is definitely more difficult to see your guys interaction without the colour coding

But that being said, @BringPopcorn has a point, I haven't seen Rex posting but it seems he isn't responding to the more pressing issues like the Sassy bug, ai still going crazy, complaints around strikers etc not of these are being addressed by anyone

And more this Spiderwoman issue, there are tonnes of players unhappy and zero response; should you guys be prepared to repsond after such an announcement?

Maybe there needs to be a bit more responding to the real issues, rather than maybe the less important stuff

these changes are BAD why is she losing her ensre that makes no sense it takes away so much offensive utility and makes her way worse on defense. Every champion has counters and spider woman is NO EXCEPTION to this. As we have seen with venom, Okoye, Crossbones, bullseye, etc. if there was no changes being done with serpent there should absolutely be no changes to spider woman this is ridiculous. Not even to mention she is a very highly sought after champion in the current titan that a vast majority of the community has taken up to r4 sig 200. This feels like a complete stab in the back from Kabam after a month of already terrible changes with the new EQ blunder and top 30 Prestige issue.

This is the worst thing they can do! This leaves a bad taste in my mouth especially when you spend money on items for theses great champs only to screw them up! They need to focus on the 💩 ones! So pissed!

🎤 drop...

At this point. I don't want an update

Honestly, it's about value for the dollar spent and paid to Kabam.

Lately we have been given really bad decisions and choices that do not align with majority their current and long time player base.

Kabam is chasing "new" players while they are chasing off their long-term existing players.

It's not hard to see how this is happening and instead of doing ANYTHING that is PRO-PLAYER, they keep trying new things that majority don't care for or want to deal with.

Majority want the game to work the way it should, be stable, offer some challenges along with casual options and then Kabam would see a bigger income increase.

You heard the phrase "Happy wife equals happy life."? Well, it can be said that "Happy players stay to become payers!" how is that so hard to grasp?

Look at the game Destiny on all their platforms as a direct example how when you start pissing off player base, you lose money and those players. Kabam is allowing history from within the industry to repeat itself.

As a owner of r4 sig 160 spider women. This hurts man. Her ensnare kit so good now they are removing it wtf? What about serpent,onslaught, photon? Day by day you guys are making pathetic decisions. I won't be surprised if the game shuts down before 2027.

You don't have to bark if you don't want to...

Can't stop others from doing it either.
