You really shouldn't make generalized statements like that. I'm not a noob. Spent quite a bit. Many of us are not noobs, or unskilled, and spend money. Probably best not to assume that people only spend because they don't put in the effort.
I respect people who don't spend money on the game, and I also am perfectly fine with people who decide to spend money on the game to help themselves out. Each person's situation is different: some people have a lot of free time and some have much less: how much effort they expend in this game is relative. I don't consider an fourteen year old that spends seven hours a day playing MCOC to be "more worthy" of what they have in game than a forty year old mother of three that can only spent an hour a day and buys unit packs.
There is a sense in which someone who doesn't spend money should get more respect for their progress than I should for my progress given that I have spent some money. It is the same sense in which someone who cuts down trees with their own ax and builds a house out of logs should get more respect for their cabin than I should get for saving up for years to earn the down payment to buy my home. Which is to say, I'll shake the hand of anyone willing to do that, but if they say I'm less worthy of having a home than they do, I'll be ripping off that arm and beating them to death with it.
If it is crystal based then you are paying for the same chance you get if you earn that in game. I would hope if you have paid for a special crystal rather than earned it, you should really stand a better chance of getting the featured thing, but that seems not the case. This is the Gacha principle this entire game is based on, the spin chance algorithm.
Spending for resources I understand more, I played Marvel Heroes a lot recently, another free game where you can easily progress slowly without spending, but I spent on storage which is heavily limited if you don't spend. Cost me about a fiver. And meant I could store valuables without worrying about space.
I will never spend on this game, not on any mobile game, they are too fickle and up and down to warrant it.
Ok this and every other game has its fair share of nerfs, This is not the first time a game has nerf something.
How about games like league of legends where they nerf people charcaters base don what they do or how they perform? did you spend time and energy and not happy because you cant pub stomp noobs?
Or in overwatch where they had to nerf roadhog because he was 1 shotting people? now hes nerfed to oblivion so ima get mad because I bought the game and main him? but I spent so much energy and time mastering this character that I know his in and outs because the character is very powerful? Guess what? playerbase was pretty mad...and guess what? they still went with nerf and wasn't compensated for anything. Then again this game isn't built around to make money but to promote highest skill in etournaments and pro gaming. But hey you can always buy look box's with real money. that wont change anyway of how "you" play.
how about the people who SPENT money to actually rank the champs and they got nerf? I ranked up my sw to 5/50 and they nerfed her because people spent money to actually upgrade the champ and for those who don't spent money and actually grinded for it I can understand.
but that's what the rank down tickers was for. Kabam did the nerf for a reason and yes it did make an impact because a lot of people who spent money refused to spend anymore money and this REALLY hurt the games income. seeing it droped out of "highest grossing" from store
Now guess what they did? they put out several good deals, gave people rank down tickets gave us compensation rewards. So they can continue making money.
So you mean to TELL me the people who don't spend money have the right to complain where kabam wanted to do with there game? oh no what are we gonna do if people who don't spend money gonna effect people form kabams payroll? nope they could care less.
remember when they was selling tier 4 class cats for $100 a pop?
or when people actually spent 2500 units for a 4* crystal BECAUSE it was so rare and hard to get one?
This game is BUILT around to make money and that's the bottom line.
Stay Tune 5* bundle deals tier 5 catalyst, in the future.
FYI - I started this topic, not that guy!
Nonsense. People spend time and energy. If someone is unhappy that their favorite hero was nerfed into oblivion, that a certain mastery was nerfed, or that a certain bug hasn't been fixed for months, then yeah... people are free to speak up. [/quote]
I agree with you at this point. I may spend a little but it does indeed suck when you DO spend for something to have it changed later. Essentially "that's not what I bought".
Insert additional car dealership analogy:
You buy a new car because it goes 0-60mph in 5 seconds and still gets 35 miles per gallon. You think, "this is a decent amount of acceleration while saving gas so a good deal for my money." Then 4 months later the manufacturer updates the car computer during your maintenance that reduces to 0-60 in 10 seconds to get you to 42 mpg gas to be more comparable to other cars. That negates the reasons that YOU decided it was worth your money in the first place.
When people CAN spend real money in a game, Kabam should be careful not to do the same thing or people get bitter.
