What's the problem in running different maps in different BGs with all this ticket system? 10 players are capable of doing Map 6 - they are doing Map 6. 10 other players are capable only doing Map 5 - they, oh what a surprise, are doing Map 5. Rewards are shared in between all the 30 players. What are you afraid of? I'll take a shot, and say that you're afraid of the fact, that the players, who are doing Map 5, will remain at that position no matter what, and still get Map 6 rewards for free. Simple solution - kick that sons of **** out of the alliance, when you get the feeling, that they are using other 10 people who do Map 6. That's what alliance leader, and officers are for, to detect that kind of players, and get rid of them.
This ticket system also will simplify the leadership and officership, no need for calculation, no need for chasing a couple of cheating players who avoided treasury for the long time. It's a huge improvement. You want AQ - pay for the AQ. You don't want AQ - don't pay for it. It's that simple.
Also, if you give a competent look at the excel sheet of the donation system for the tickets, you will see, that price for the tickets is much much much lower than it was with the treasury donation system.
So I'll ask one more time: What are you complaining for?
Secondly, I agree that it helps remove the possibility of people shirking donations, which is good but still feel that there should be a way for officers to monitor that people have bought the tickets.
If they wanted to reduce the donations, that was possible even without tickets. It's just change in numbers. Tickets may or may not be good, but can't say that we have reduced donation amount just due to tickets.
I like your idea in general of pooling ticket count for leadership to see, and the reset of the treasury, but it has one big flaw. A high level bot account can still pay for everyone (in your system, one person can "donate all 600 tickets").
When I said it doesn't prevent botters/arena mercs from selling to people within their high bot account alliance. I wasn't talking about those low level bot accounts that dumped resources and left, but the ones with decent roster size.
They can leave their decent 5*r5 roster bots running in arena. Use past and said resources to stock up on tickets (and the ones they get from kabam's excess treasury donation return). Have said high level bot accounts (the ones purchased off retired players) that can handle map 7 decently well (they only need to be able to handle a path per section, give the bot accounts priority to pick the one best suited) to join their customer's (or their own) alliance and pay for everyone's map cost. Having a small dip in prestige would be the tradeoff, but free map cost for 29 members! Or if they want to risk botting with their higher prestige accounts, they probably would because that is their source of income. Minimal drop in prestige, with all the upside of avoiding to pay for map 7. Where this value would compound.
Yes, Kabam could lower the price of a ticket even further- if it's current price isn't making the botters go out of business.
Another way is to get rid of donation costs altogether- but it would remove one of Kabam's methods of controlling the resource economy.
That's more than enough payback .. + 2 weeks free AQ !
I run 7x5 in bg1 the battle group I'm in. and I run 67666 in the other two battlegroups. Right now I'm running 7x5 for my entire alliance while the maps are free. We as an alliance have not decided if we will stay 7x5 or go back 67666 in the other two battlegroups.
So yes I have a few members that aren't happy with 7x5 so I get why people are mad I just feel that the move is better. But majority of my members want to step up.
Free aq maps is not the solution.
I think it being completely free solves the argument, than everyone can play mixed maps and the donations are equal across the board. If they made map 6 free I honestly think I would consider moving down a map even though I totally hate map 6 because it's way to easy comparatively.
I'm all for getting rid of donation dumps but the very fact they existed was an issue Kabam created, namely from loyalty not being a resource you can farm. The very notion of having to pay just to try something in a mobile game makes no sense. Make AQ free for all maps, give a bonus to points for 100% clears and this is all fixed.
@Kabam Miike I hope there's an answer for the disparity this change has created before the ticket system goes into effect.
meanwhile I see you added it to the change-log thread.
does it means no hope for you to change this poor decision?
Also, if that account does legitimately a path in map7, then it's not a bot. It's a regular account that uses boting in arena. Anyone could do that. It's up to kabam to catch and ban them.
Or kabam can just limit a person ticket donation to 100 tickets, or the equivalent of covering for 5 people, or 3.
My idea solves 99% of the treasury loading issue and 100% of the mixed map battle groups issue.
Kabam wants us to pay tickets each day to enter AQ. My idea is to donate tickets each day and the fee is substracted from the ticket treasury. Day ends, treasury resets. AQ ends, treasury closes.
And then what about those of us that don't need tickets period? Some of us have donated to the treasury since it's inception. Now it's all gone, and I have tichets that are completely worthless? This just makes no sense. Chips could've been units and gold. Gold is gold. Loyalty were boosts I could've used. What are we supposed to do with tickets if we only run free maps? Can we sell tickets for gold, chips and loyalty?
