Soooo when i looked at the rewards for the gifting event i was like woahhhhh those look amazing!
Then i watched some Cowhale videos and got really discouraged lol.
Let me be clear, the rewards are great! Even for those who only had a few hundred units. Really useful and fun stuff in the crystals and the milestone rewards. I am not knocking that at all.
The only concern i have, is making those top rewards so juicy and game changing. Yes, you can argue to save up your units for this event but we all know it wouldnt have been enough to compete with the top.
My entire point of this thread is that when will it stop? There used to be a peak in this game, 1 R5 5*, then 2, then 3, then 6*.
Now there is nooooo limit to how big your roster can be, the only thing you cant do is R3 a 6*. (coming soon)
The gap between those who are free to play, and pay to win is growing rapidly and i dont think i can keep up.
This is coming from a free to play player with no time for areana.
There used to be a time where skill could get you almostttttt the same thing cash can.
Ladies and Gents, that time is long gone. MCOC has fully turned into pay to play, if you wanna be competitive.
So what about to players with the best skill, but no $?????
lol yes thats me

My biggest disappointment is the Youtube content creators who sold out to join the clear Gifting Winner so they could get the 5* Thanos prize. Guarantees I won't watch their videos anymore.
I hear you bro, but at the same time if you are in their shoes its probably a good move. I thought about that too with Seatin, but i mean at the end of the day its their account, and being in that alliance will get them insane rewards which means more views and more money for them. I feel you, but i cant even blame them to be honest. Its a win win @DalBot
U meant seatin ther allicen Got disabendtb so wher shuld ther go. If ther wont the Best rewards that ther Call dont make Them bad at all that just smart becasse ther cant. So it just a smart move. Im sure ther also credit to be ther and Not just mabye 1k point. That wuld be stupid. So im sure ther Got pretty hige point
Lets just not get any hope it will become fair to everyone without having to spend money, like the iOs vs Android thing.
Frankly Thanos is the least of the rewards at the top
I dont care about Thanos my guy, i care about t5b which you can only get from high aw rewards. I've beaten all other t5b content.
Nice try though.
Weird i have 5 r5 and am a month away from a 6th without having to stress over war. Been in p3-p2 for all but one season.
You’re free to play, you will end up with less than someone who isn’t. Are you forgetting people were are already able to straight up buy the same ammount of t5b 30 people collectively put up 10s of thousands to acquire?
Carry on...
P.S. You’ve conceded my point you do not compete with them but are complaining still, envy.
Unless you start again trying to compete in higher brackers your gona be behind resource wise t5b.
you say that, but you chose to step down, so technically ur not keeping up with them, skill wise anyone can beat any champ in any given day, if it was so easy, there would be 0 death wars, but thats not the case
u say its getting expensive, so obviously it was putting a dent in you causing you to slow down ur progresion,
what do you think about the top 3 allaince in master?
they get more t5b than everyone else, so they are getting stronger
ever since season 1 its was a race,
Season 2...we had to compete with allainces who have 2 r5 5* while ALOT of my allinace only had 1 r5*
but we made master.
just wait till T5CC comes out.
everyone who is anybody is already 100% uncollected, on top of that. so the only way to get better rewards than others is to compete in aw.
MMXIV has always been the most heavily spent alliance, they won last year and year before that in the gifting event.
i have not chosen to step down yet, and when i 100% varient ill have 7 r5 5*, it would be 8..if i was in cow30.
"Selling out" would be like if Brian Grant joined that alliance just to get the mega gifting rewards or if Prof Hoff joined the alliance while reviewing all the gift crystals as having horrible value. But as far as I'm aware, no one "sold out" to join that alliance because I'm unaware of any Youtuber joining that alliance that had a reputation for not spending on the game or having some rule about alliance events or gifting value that they were compromising. If none of those players ever expressed the notion that spending on these kinds of events was bad in some way, I don't see how they could be selling out on anything.
There are a lot of people who complain that many players give the Youtubers too much respect, and some of that is true. But there are also a lot of people who ascribe responsibilities to them that are also completely wrong to assign. They only have an obligation to represent their own viewpoints, whatever they may be. They have no responsibility to act in the way we think will best leverage our own positions against the developers. They aren't required to behave in a way any one of us thinks is appropriate.
But if u do have skill, u should be fine, as Brian Grant from 4loki is holding his own weight and takes on harder paths in aw.
Dont get hit, its simple as that..
He has plenty of guides on how to resource management and farm units/
all my glory goes into potions, for example.
BUT as u can see...people will resort to piloting, fraud units, hiring mercs on this game.
F2P will always be behind a spender.
this game will be dead if it didnt have any income.
Never said they should be held to a different standard or that they should or should not act a certain way. Just one man's opinion that it's kind of cheap to sell out to an egomaniac who is using you for exposure for himself. To each their own, just how I see it myself.
Hey, I'm just giving my own individual opinion. If people with a profile in the community want to sell out to an egomaniac who is using them for exposure and self gratification that's their right to do so. Personally I just think it's a bad look and says something about them. To each their own. Also, let's try not to name names. Don't want anyone violating forum ToS here...
I am 100% f2p myself
The way I look at it, what they choose to give for free is an entire game. It is hard to really ask for a lot more than that.
So spend on whales. My $20 a month isn't paying anyones salary, so you guys keep it up.
they joined because the alliance they were in disbanded, they joined before the updated gifting rewards.
And I'm sure there was no incentive to join that particular alliance vs any of the other alliances in similar regard... 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
