This is the new reality of the game. With Radiance in the Picture, content other than BGs isn't nearly as important. Radiance is the new chase currency and they know players will whale for these top defenders. These top defenders that are staples in BGs also happen to have high prestige (radiance for AQ). The game is vastly different than what it use to be, story mode, incursions, EQ, SQ etc none of those give radiance, and anyone and everyone can get the rewards from it. Only the top competitive players/spenders however will be able to reap the relevant amounts of radiance

Maybe after you acknowledge the bad taste of your sponsorship post we can take your opinion into consideration

Why would I care for someones consideration who can't even properly spell "Warrior"

Check.

And… mate.

Sorry you’re not clever enough to spell words differently when a username is already taken

Tier 1 and alliances in war are Plantinum 2 and above, Tier 2 are high Platinum 3.
I observed English isn't your first language, neither is mine. I understand what its like getting lost in translation. But that isn't the point. And that's why I replied with a long comment. I don't usually care what forum whinners post 99% of the times. You are not one of them. I saw your replies are rather considerate.

Now back to topic on hand.
I know kabam isn't going to do anything about this situation. They will not change what they have planned 99% of the time. So I don't take part in many of these serious topics.
But I can support those posts and people who are passionate and are actually constructive. I get enough hate mocking the rants and whine posts lol. Doesn't bother me, eveyeone got opinions, including me.

Just wanted to let you know, the game is vast and Some (Not all) of those complaints are critical.
These 5/5 defenders are fueling the already present power creep in the game. Last season of war was easy on most alliances. I fought Dark Phoenix 8 times in 12 wars serpent and enchantress the remaining 4. I avoided yelena, I also avoided zola lol. But now we don't have any choice. We have to fight most of the new defenders. And the list is getting bigger month after month. I don't mind hard fights with decent counters tbh. But I understand, that can get annoying or exhausting to players in general.
...
I stopped pushing BGs 7-8 months ago.
But these defenders effect bgs too.
But I dont mind as I play bare minimum with few extra matches here and there and do decent.
Earlier today I was doing the objective and faced an account with 17 r4s.

Won the starky game tho.

Since it's off season I did not ban any new shiny toy. I actually wanted to fight them. I shared the fights with my friends and had a good chuckle.
I'll learn these new champs coming war season. At this moment I have 0 clue lol.

Oh, thank you for the explanation. Now I know which alliances I need to aim for. I agree that there are enough good and OP defenders.
I started playing 7 years ago for a couple of months, then took a break for a few years. I returned when Starky was first released. And I came back once more 8 months ago, and since then I’ve been playing non-stop. Back in the day, when Thing and Korg were the biggest threats, I didn’t think they were unbalanced. And when I returned, I didn’t think Serpent was unbalanced either — maybe even fun to encounter. But Bullseye…SirGamesBond, I thought he would be the point of no return, because he is full of pupu kaka lol. But then I looked at the game and thought, “I don’t encounter him in quests. I only face him when I play against real people who want to win and get the best rewards. So why am I whining instead of getting good?”
After that, I learned every defender and got pretty decent at the game. I’m not saying I always perform well or that I can beat anyone without taking any damage, but you can improve each season and earn better rewards. Every season I’m climbing higher and higher. A couple of seasons ago I finished in Uru 5, and last season I made it to Arcane 2.
I don’t think every whale can get there. Many of my alliance members have much better-developed rosters than mine, but I still had the highest BG placement among them. Spending may help quite a lot, but that doesn’t matter if you don’t learn. I’m not saying all of this because I’m so good that you guys should line up to please me — no. The point is: even though there are a lot of tedious and ridiculous defenders, you can grow, learn, and eventually defeat them. You’re right — Kabam won’t listen to whining forum users and change anything. And guys like me also won’t change the direction of the game, because I’m not one of those whales who can influence Kabam.
I don’t mind facing a challenge when I have the resources — and Kabam is providing them for F2P players.

I have always been a F2P. It just doesn’t make sense to me to pay for stuff inside a mobile game which I can get for free a bit later anyway . And the sheer insane amount of money people spend are insane . People are actually spending HUNDREDS of dollars, enough money to get yourself an international vacation with fights and hotel included or a full on game console annd professional games if you are not the real world type and for what ? Freaking units and maybe a champ and some materials? It’s insane . Even if you are rich it’s insane

The people that are spending that kind of money have more than they know what to do with anyways.

Fair point . To some people hundreds or even thousands of dollars are the equivalent of pennies . Still super weird to me . If I was so rich there are so many way more interesting things I would do . To each their own I guess

It is a mobile game, and people can choose to play however they like (as long as they don't break the T&C), it is their personal choice.

If you feel that F2P is right for you then that is great for you, and if other want to spend on something they enjoy that is great for them. Every time I go up a massive account on BG, I actually thanks them for choice to spend (and hopefully they are not using money that they need for other vital things), they are financing the continuation development of the game.

For MCOC eco to work, all players, big spenders, casual spenders, moderate spenders and F2P are important, we are all part of a working eco, we are not fighting against each other.

It is down to Kabam to create an environment for players to feel that they can make progress without doing something they are unable to, while at the same time being able to maintain their cash flow. So any feedback are to be made it should be directed at Kabam not the players.

I don't think insult how other players help the situation, a F2P badge doesn't have anymore "honour" than anyone else, it is just how one choice to play the game.

At the end of the day, we all pay, either with money or our time, nothing is truly free.

I don't push. I'm not sweaty. But I handle basic competition. I'll get ~330k radiance by the end of the month without spending. That's good enough for the likes of me. F2p btw non whale.
