Best Of

Listen, I get it. The game has to make money to survive. But I worry we are reaching (or have passed) a tipping point of sustainability.

After 3 mega sales/unit draining events I couldn’t be less excited for the reunion event and Statcasts as it just seems like trying the drain whale milk from dried whale bones at this point.

Nothing about this current approach encourages casual spending, it’s all in or you don’t matter… which is fatiguing for the whole community. FTP feels the ever growing gap, casual spenders say “what’s the point” more than ever, and dolphin spenders are saying “no mas”. I gotta imagine even the largest spenders must feel some level of… wtf… another cash focused event incoming.

But maybe this is all just my personal take… and I’m on an island here. That’s ok… but if not I gotta ask… is this current direction a step too far?

It became too much when they straight up sold a champ for the first time in the webstore. It's only increasingly excessive and tone-deaf at this point.

They were selling 5 and 6* straight up in game long before that though. Granted not for 500 bucks though.

A few differences with that though, namely the peasants could get that champ in crystals just a couple months later, not wait over a year and then still wait some more.

In a perfect world maybe. Others like me with crappy luck? Let me put it this way, i only just recently pulled a 6* Galan for the first time.

At least you had the opportunity to spin the odds. Now I just have to wait a year+ hoping there is a tangible way to unlock Dark Phoenix/Torch + the rest of HoF?
