There is still a gold problem in the game

Man it seems like everytime I decide to try to finish act 4, or try to become uncollected I end up ranking up a good champ and it eats up all my gold so I spend the week grinding out in arena just to get back to a decent amount of gold and it's so frustrating cause it feels like the gold problem is holding me back from progressing in the game.

Wait until you rank 6* champs lmao yeah gold is an issue but with my rng luck I’ll have time to save up

Would it be to much to ask for kabam to run the halls of fortune like once a month, they could run it on a sun, it could even just be like 1 path or just do a gold arena where all the milestones are gold and not 1500 gold it needs to be a decent amount, I just took a 5* from r3 to r4 and just doing that rank was 250k in gold not counting the leveling up, so 2k, 5k even 10k is fairly useless unless ur just ranking up 2* or 3*, please kabam do something about this.

Something holds everyone back. If it isn't gold it is catalysts, and if it isn't catalysts it is champs to rank up. I could use a Halls of 6* shards once a month personally. But I'm not going to get one.

There’s a gold problem?

Sitting at 71m now from 68m 2-3 weeks back.

R4ed my 5* Vision, R5 my 4* Heimdall and Nebula, R3 my 5* Venom in this period too.

Uhm sorry if I misunderstand but exploring doesn’t cost gold just energy, so what is the beef?

No, actually. Many people have Gold. It's simple Economics. If you're spending more than you're making, and not saving it, then you'll run out. Gold is like in-game money. It takes work to earn and it takes effort to maintain a balance. Personally, I Rank at a pace. I keep a minimum balance and don't go below it. I don't go for broke. I'm always Ranking something. Just not 5*s from R1 to R4 in one sitting. I could, but that would lower my reserve. Lately, I don't go below 6 Mil much. It used to be 2 Mil was my prudent reserve. Now it's 5 Mil. All it takes is holding off on spending until you get ahead some, and keeping a minimum balance.

Hey u never know they run a halls of 6* shards 3 or 4 times a year just like halls of fortune and halls of healing, oh wait not they don't THEY NEVER HAVE!!! See unlike u I'm asking for something they actually done before

RO53TT1

So all those that have a ton of gold, are u uncollected cause the uncollected arena crystals are loaded with gold, when I first started playing they ran halls of fortune when I started and 2 or 3 times after that and u was sitting at 6 or 7 million for a long time when I was just ranking 2* and 3* it was no problem, but after u start ranking up 4*and 5* that gold goes pretty quick, I also don't leave any 4* at r1 take them all to r3 for arena. But hey I'm happy that u guys have tons of gold, obviously this question wasn't for u

Unlike you, I did not actually ask for anything.

There is a gold budgeting problem in this game.

Unless you’re good at gold budgeting.

Then there is no gold budgeting problem and this isn’t for you.

Lol... I wouldn't say those UC arena crystals are "loaded" with gold.. Usually I get minimum of 15k which is absolute garbage for 40 units. And there is very much a gold shortage still... Kabam has increased the amount of champs ppl are getting, but have neglected to update the amount of gold needed to rank said champs...

SDP

It’s not a gold problem. It’s a I wanna rank up all my champions but can’t problem. You have to make tough choices.

Smitty138

No it's relative.. The proportion of gold should be similar to pre "we give everyone tons of champs" MCOC... It is not at all...

Smitty138

Put it this way then... Kabam now gives us less gold than before.. That better?? Basically that's what they have done...

Smitty138

I don't even consider ranking all champs at this point... I only rank 5* and 6*... The amount of gold a person gets subtracting out ally donations for 5*5 leaves nothing to play with... Even with arena and dungeon grinding, ranking champs is a luxury now..

Dreggwatz

No gold problems at all...

Smitty138

It shouldn't be..

Smitty138

You're one of the lucky ones then... Maybe you aren't getting as many 5* as others... Depends on the ally..

Smitty138

Not just me... There is absolutely a gold shortage and I wish ppl would quit with the "not for me" or Kabam will never listen..

Smitty138

You guys want more gold right??? So why undermine a person when they bring up the shortage???

I’m not “undermining” you just to do so. I just look at it differently. I think this shortage of resources adds to the strategy of the game. I enjoy that it is difficult to rank up champs. I need to evaluate the content I want to complete carefully, and rank up accordingly.

If I could just rank up everyone I would get bored very quickly I feel.

Smitty138

I agree.... I'm not saying be able to rank up every champ you get... I just want being able to rank champs to be the same difficultly as it was in the past... Which in the past you had to pick and choose still, but at least you could rank a champ when you wanted...

Smitty138

It has never been easy, but Kabam has made it substantially more difficult with the lack of gold as of late.

There’s no gold problem.

I haven’t opened all my gold crystals since the last time there was a 25% boost to those crystals.

Sitting at 71m now.

I rank all my 4* to R3 and 5*s to max R1 at least for arena grind and level up points.

I spend my T1A and T4B R2/3ing my 5*s to get arena done faster.

Even my alt that doesn’t do arena, has 8m gold and gradually increasing as I ration the rank ups to champs that will help my roster.

So gold problem? Nah. Self-control issue? Most probably.

Smitty138

Well good for you... Want a cookie... You are one of the chosen ones then... But you're missing my point dude.... IT IS RELATIVE... Why is that so hard to understand...

Smitty138

Has nothing to do with "self-control".... Hahaha

Smitty138

I too have an alt... My main is 675k and my alt is 400k. Both are completely broke.. I'm hearing more ppl say they are broke than not... So apparently you are quite lucky..

GroundedWisdom

There's another common denominator there.
