I agree with the OP. I know we’re in the minority but for us Endgame/Elders who have every champ and over 200,000 Titan shards and growing, the Titan has lost most of its original excitement

It's not quite exciting holding the highest value crystals for 6 months without touching them.

Max sig first round champs should give out ascension tokens. Or for the first month. Or something

Weird to brag that you're illiterate, but you do you

Read the dang message!!!

Reinforces my point that most MCOC summoners either can't read, too lazy to read or just dumb!!

I would reframe your analogy to be closer to the MCOC scenario.

It would be like a snack bag of nuts with the front wrapper showing cashews, hazelnuts, and almonds, and then when you open it, there are also peanuts in it.

In any event, we all know regulations are intended to protect the most vulnerable and weak people from manipulative corporate tactics.

Just because someone is dumb or low intelligence or has impulse control issues does not mean we should just let corporations take advantage of them because you or I would not fall victim to the same manipulation.

I think loot boxes, unlike the sigil pass or the unit collector's card or similar MCOC in-app purchases, is what makes MCOC a de facto gambling game because loot boxes trigger players' addictive vulnerabilities. Endless retries to get high value items with very low odds, no safety rails, no spending limits, and nobody to stop you when you're clearly spiraling.

And unlike actual gambling websites, there isn't even a disclaimer or help line talking about seeking help if you have a gambling addiction.

So yes, I found it very interesting that MCOC advertised regular in-app purchases but hid the fact that they offer loot boxes.

And this is exactly why the UK said MCOC's ad was misleading, because Kabam was not disclosing to new players that its monetization includes gambling-style loot boxes.

Better in BGs than in incursions…
