Best Of

Same happened to us and i came to post the same thing in forums but found out other alliances also facing the same issue

why get rid of the only way to guarantee get the box key while the event is live. Seems weird but ok I guess. The spending event goes on till tomorrow as well

People are always free to make their own decisions about their own money. However, I would never recommend going into debt to spend money on a mobile game. This is especially true when everyone around you is spending in a time-limited event. Most people cannot consistently think rationally about finances under that FOMO time pressure.

I'm personally in a place where I can spend whatever I want on whatever I want. But that's because I've spend literal decades going through priorities: I saved for a home, I saved for six figures of renovations, I paid off all my debt (*all* of it: I don't even have car payments), I've fully funded my retirement, and then I fully funded my retirement again (because as an engineer, I believe in redundancy). I have no mortgage, no student loans, my credit cards are all paid off, I could retire tomorrow and live to 245 on my savings.

Most of us can't live like monks. We need to spend here and there on things that make life worth living. We need fun, we need entertainment, we need some of life's pleasures, and many of them cost money. But tomorrow is another way, and you need to keep some powder dry for the future. And everything we are buying today others will get for free tomorrow. We're paying to get stuff now instead of later. That's fun, but that's all.

Spend if you can, and you're having fun doing it, and it doesn't cost you what you can't afford to lose.

Only spend if you can, and you're having fun doing it, and it doesn't cost you what you can't afford to lose.

One of the things I find interesting this year is the commentary. One of the things I do is look around to see if anyone else is doing their own analyses of the banquet scoring. Really, no one else is doing this - at least, no one who is showing work. Most people are just guessing wildly. But what I find interesting is that when I look around to see who's saying what, when it comes to commentary about personal experience with the banquet it is mostly positive. The vast majority of commentary I've seen - posts, social media, Youtube channels - people are saying they personally like the banquet. They might have issues here and there, but overall the impression is positive.

But when I specifically look for people commenting on whether we will reach this or that milestone, it is heavily negative. Most people saying anything at all about whether we will go higher and if so how much tend to say things like "we'll probably not reach that" or "this killed the enthusiasm" or whatever. Even though the data has never supported any of that.

Of course, the data doesn't matter because none of them are looking at the data. They aren't collecting it, and most of them probably have no idea I exist so they aren't looking here either. They just see what their eyes see at the moment, and for whatever reason they are filling in the gap with their own narrative. Which is fascinating because most people who want to talk about their own personal experiences are saying positive things, but most people who want to talk about the event as an event have negative or pessimistic impressions.

It obviously says more about the commenters when they say pessimistic things about the banquet scoring in direct defiance of the actual scoring data for the event. What exactly it says, I will leave that as an exercise for the reader.

Theres no way your alliance wasnt pinging you out the ass about coliseum

they let the community miss last years. Everything now is up to the community, Kabam won’t save us.
