    This one from last week is not as bad and is more friendly for f2p players but I still don't like that it's locked behind units.



    What would you suggest that it was locked behind if not units?

    Sig stones are available to be earned each month as are freely gained units.
    It takes 6 years to max sig a 5* through the guaranteed monthly sources of sig stones if you drop an awakening gem on a champion.
    Does this discussion exclude the featured item store where 22 generic 5* sig stones can be obtained for approx 1500 units?

    I counted 4 such events in 2019
    1/ 11 June
    2/ 5 July
    3/ 28 Aug
    4/ 28 Sep

    That is 88 sign stones and not counting those that can be obtained regularly though in very small quantities.

    So, it takes maybe 2 but not 6 years (I agree still long time) but definitely doable.

    None of those are guaranteed to arrive, also at 6000 units for 88 sig stones you’re probably better off grinding a single path of AoL the hard way.

    I definitely agree with the masses. A cavalier player who gets a top rank in level up or hero use has no need for a 4 star generic sig stone. Especially a whale at that. What are they going to use that for? They talked about scrapping the 7/hr and 22 hr solo events. Maybe instead of scrapping them they update 1. The events themselves make them more entertaining like the thor ragnorak ones or the Fantastic 4 events. 2. Update the prizes, add prizes by progression, 3. Stop being stingy on the units. Make it 30-50, 4. Update the solo and greater solo crystals. I’m sure most are annoyed at blowing through the XP boost when level 60 has been capped for most since 2015 lol. A cavalier could get a simple change from an XP to a gold boost.

    Just my thoughts.

    They broke the game economy terribly last year. Content is now almost utterly irrelevant as long as you have master card and visa

    So just recently people started using money to steamroll content? Never realized that was never happened before last year.
    Not what I was saying. What I was saying is that buying offers yields materials at a rate far greater than completing content. You have players who haven’t even beat the champion a single line with 10k+ prestige because all you need to do is buy offers.

    Of course people blow through content. Taking out your credit card last cyber weekend and Christmas would yield multiple times the rewards one could earn through content

    And to be clear I don’t care about it, it’s just an observation. People have free will to spend as the like, and I know that if I choose not to spend I can not keep up. Which is fine

    There was a time when the Featured Items store periodically offered 5* individual generic and crystal sigs, each for an escalating unit cost.

    Those were the days...

    That still comes periodically.
    Honest question: can you recall the most recent time? I can’t—I’m thinking it was at best around the beginning of the year.

    Sig stones are available to be earned each month as are freely gained units.

    Units are meant for other uses such as Endgame content completion, Arena Refreshing, or AW item use. Why should f2p have to spend all their units on sig stone offers and be forced to spend on units for the rest? Not everyone has the time to grind that many units or even grind heavy in arena. I suggest that Kabam release a new gamemode, put 5* sig stones into incursions and daily challenges for us to grind them, or put them in the solo events.
    And why should people who play for free get the same things as those who pay???
    You should be grateful kabam gives you as much as they do for you to play free. And what do F2P players give kabam???
    Kabam employees need to make a living, too. Maybe F2P players can pay for kabam employees' bills, mortgages, car payments, ...
    Maybe instead of buying overpriced deals, get your mental health checked.
    Maybe you should try to make more money instead of complaining about how generous Kabam is already being to free loaders like you.
    Make more money for deals which are clearly ridiculous say for example the 5000 units for a 5* and these sig stone deals which are nowhere close to the accurate price it should be?? No thank you. You are free to carry on with your poor life decisions.

    They used to have a boss rush every other month or something like that. It gave free 20 (5 star) generic sig stones. Everything cost units or actual money now. They also used to have profile pics for gold but now they all cost units

    I agree with this, as a f2p player it is very hard to come across sign stones as I've been playing since the day the game has came out and still don't have a max sig 5 star my highest one is sig 194 venom and that's only because I duped him 3 times. With the way the game is at current we should be able to get way more sig stones than we currently do as some of the whales get way more 6 star sig stones than f2p players do 5 star ones which is ridiculous


    I’ve been playing since like 2016?? And I have like 3-4 max sig 5* and I’m also f2p it seems as if you’ve been sporadically spreading your sig stones or not doing enough content for those free sig stones. Completing LOL alone gives you 100 random which adds quite a few levels to each and every class and varients give out some for ever chapter

    I'm really having trouble enjoying the game right now cause it feels like I'm playing with 30% of the champ's potential all the time. I ran into a paywall after exploring 3 variants and a few bits of act 6 so now I am forced to spend on the 4th of july on sig stone offers in order to make endgame content less of a headache. It's really a shame it has to come to this.
