If you want to run a subscription based model then the rewards should be the same.
If you want a ticket based system then the cost should be a split equally as the rewards are the same. Why should 1 BG pay 75 tickets whilst the other two BG’s pay 150 tickets and get EXACTLY the same rewards.
Seriously who thinks of this and says yes that’s fair. Let’s roll out these changes.
Why is it our concerns are addressed only when a big social media influencer on YouTube isn't happy with things? When your every day summoner tries to address an issue it falls on deaf ears 9 out of 10 times. Maybe if Seatin makes a video saying the resources should have been returned then you'd listen. If you got money in a bank and that bank says they're closing up for good then they would return your money not give you tickets good for entry to Outback Steakhouse.
Except the treasury was never a bank. You were never able to withdraw from it so you should never have gotten anything back at all in all reality. The fact that anything was returned at all was a bonus

That issue is already being addressed and alliances running staggered maps will be able to split the cost by hopefully August

When you have most players screaming we need gold would it not make sense to give them their gold and resources they put in to make the community happy? How about the fact they cut or just removed gold altogether from maps. Do you think that's right?
I have zero issues with the ticket change now that the staggered map issue is being addressed.

That's not what I asked. I said they cut or removed gold all together from maps when so many players struggle with gold. Do you think that's right?
Considering I've been running map 7 since it came about and I've never bought into the "gold drought" song people love to sing, no I don't particularly care or think it's wrong

Oh got it. You don't care because you have plenty of gold and could care less others don't. You should apply to work at Kabam. I think you got the right attitude for it hahaha
There are plenty of avenues to get gold in this game. The fact that so many of you don't want to do them does not mean there's an actual problem. It means you can't be bothered and want to get more for nothing. But keep thinking that my attitude is the one that's problematic
The only change I would like to see that would help people with gold is 5* and 6* dupes be given more iso. The fact that you get the same amount of iso as you do duping a 4* is ridiculous. Outside of that, there's plenty of gold availability

What avenues? Arena? The piece of content that is so time consuming, outdated rewards, and boring that no one wants to do it or has the time? AQ was something you did find tine for to get done if you're in an alliance so the fact they would cut or remove the gold all together is just wrong. Just because you have no life to grind your soul away in arena doesn't mean others can and they relied on any gold coming their way to help with rank ups. But sit on your mountain of gold looking down at all the peasants laughing at who can't play as much as you do to grind in arena.
Yes arena, also incursions. I don't care if it's boring, there's gold available there and if you can't be bothered to get it then you can't complain about not having it and expect to be taken seriously

I have said this before. It's not fair to give back the resources the players donate.

Fine then give us a way to refund our tickets then. Which someone said something about a refund tickets so maybe they're listening to the players. Some of us don't want nor need these tickets. I got over 3,000 and run map 5 and will never change that because I just don't have the time so why do I need over 3,000 tickets clogging up my items.
They mean the tickets for AQ. They're not refunding anything.
Let me ask you this.
Why the hell would you stockpile that much gold in the Treasury if you're only running Map 5? What's the point?
Listen because you seem to have a hard time reading between the lines. PEOPLE DON'T HAVE AS MUCH TIME AS YOU DO TO GRIND ARENA. Put it in all caps so you didn't miss it that time. It is so time consuming and with AQ, AW, and questing not everyone has the time to do arena like you do but because you do you don't care what others are struggling with. Long as your good right? I bet if you saw a dying man in the street you'd walk right by them thinking they should have made better life choices not my concern. Why don't you care about how changes made to the game affect the community as a whole not just yourself. Guess what they keep making these decisions over and over and more and more get fed up with the game and quit well then guess what your mountain of gold and all your time grinding arena become absolutely worthless because there will be no game.
All I keep hearing is "I don't wanna so they need to make it easier". That's fine and all, hope it works out for you but if you're looking for sympathy you won't find it here.

Did you really compare Gold in a mobile game to a dying man on the streets?
Okay, let's run with it. If the man is given a loaf of bread, some cheese, mayo, and ham, and he refuses to make a sandwich.....
I swear you Kabam fans boy come out the wood work when someone has a problem with a decision made about this game...I recognize all the names speaking out now from all the forums saying it's okay, Kabam are our God's, they know what's best...if tomorrow they want to remove beyond God champs all together you'll be like it's okay they know what's best...GTFOH I don't have time for your butt kissing of Kabam haha yall have good night
You realize there's more options than agreeing with everything they do and acting like every tiny little thing they change is some great social injustice right?
I disagree with quite a few game team decisions I just don't throw my toys out the crib over every single one I don't like.
I swear you Kabam fans boy come out the wood work when someone has a problem with a decision made about this game...I recognize all the names speaking out now from all the forums saying it's okay, Kabam are our God's, they know what's best...if tomorrow they want to remove beyond God champs all together you'll be like it's okay they know what's best...GTFOH I don't have time for your butt kissing of Kabam haha yall have good night
Nah, I'm just advocating for the players who don't donate.

Don't let them get you so upset. Its the same 5 guys. I respond back and after awhile they ignore me because I've completed all in game content so they can't just say get better lol.

Oh I noticed you took out your little prestige part of the comment lol
I didn’t read all the pages of this post but I read the first few and the last 4 pages. @Worknprogress Is one of few with decent comments about this. A lot of other comments addresses concerns that was not targeted by the ticket change at all.
There might be some odd drawbacks with the new system. Where you can’t receive charity donations from alliance mates covering your part of AQ donations. And that might suck. But to be fair the resources needed for donations, or now, tickets, is not that much and should be obtainable for all (With as little as 2 hour of arena a week)
I see very few ppl taking about the positive effect.
1) Elimination of merc donation drops. Merc drops was used by a few top ranked alliances giving them unfair advantages. Now the 600-ticket bundles from Kabam offers the same thing for ( in most cases ) less money. And it’s now available to all players should they want to use it.
2) More resources to the ppl!!! Donation cost has gone down - significantly. Map 5 is now free, map 6 and 7 resources needed for AQ per player is down between 28% and 35% (depending on what donation strategy was used by your alliance)
3) you can now substitute all or part of one resource when buying tickets for another. Yes, you will need to pay a premium when doing this. (Between 10% and 20% if you double up on tickets bought with one resource) that’s not bad. At least it’s much better then not having that option at all.
I don’t know of any scenario where this change has a negative impact on resources needed for AQ. It’s long term good for everyone. (Except if you where a freeloader depending on others covering donations for you)
The only two pitfalls I seen is: - tickets in alliances running mixed maps across bgs - and that is being addressed already in a change not to far away - Ensuring members has tickets or resources to participate in AQ. That’s not a problem per day. Just a new situation alliances need to adopt to. And it will be significantly better then tracking donations in the treasury.

Lol yeah because I knew you'd respond. Its only you that has higher prestige than me though. Probably XNig as well. I'm not sure.
Just to make my stance clear though I like the new ticket system. As an alliance leader you had to deal with freeloaders and it really sucks. Obviously very few people have that perspective though.

So over all I see this as a win win.
There's also having to pay a premium to use more of one resource than the others as opposed to being able to straight swap with other alliance members, but that was only an option if you had enough people wanting to trade what you needed. Now everyone can use more of the same resource without needing to find a swap though. It's a slight negative but I still feel a net positive in the long run.
I like you feel the pros vastly outweigh the cons in this though. The treasury was never a bank you could withdraw from as wanted so while I'm not surprised people are upset with the wipe, I still don't feel they have a valid reason to be. It will take a while for people to get used to it but I see it being a positive change going forward.

I don't understand why people keep pushing the line Donation cost has gone down when the actual reality is its more or less the same with the removal of gold and BC given back from map 6 & 7. As Kabam Mike said, it more or less balances itself out. I am talking in regards to your statement regarding donations for map 6 & 7 players.
Also point 1 above can also be solved with no cost to maps. its an even playing field then. No real reason why this game mode has a cost associated to it. Its part of the reason why people don't enjoy it. Its taxing enough having to organize 30 people to get links etc down and the map cleared without the added pressure that if you fail you effectively just wasted resources. Just like the catalyst arena had a cost to entry which again no one enjoyed paying that. If you really want a cost for AQ it should be done through some resource independent of the other resources that is achieved via activity in the alliance maybe from the alliance events page.
You also seem to disregard the fact alliances had healthy treasuries built up over years which was completely wiped out without any adequate reimbursement to the alliance for this. Again this helped keep costs down.
Also thanks the the shambolic execution of this change and lack of communication. Mixed BG alliances have to deal with this 2 months of the high map players paying a bigger premium. They will either see their players leave to find all same map alliances or be forced to do lower maps thus slowing their progression because they can't get access to the higher map crystals as well as reducing the glory they achieve. That's at least 8 AQ cycles. For my alliance that's a loss of 56 map 7 crystals and 80 map 6 crystals.
So i am failing to see this as a postie change. In the new system my method of donating will still be split as it makes the most sense to get the best value out of my resources. Everything else is largely the same from my perspective.
23 pages deep, and i didn’t read every page, but I don’t think any of the mods have addressed why 5 months cutoff and why no decent heads up?
I can see the positive in this change, but the entire treasury was wiped. And I got back zero tickets even though I donated regularly and made up for others, and my ally members got back tickets. Our millions of battle chips were also gone just like that, because we haven’t been using it much since map 5 became free for BCs. We had wanted to do map 6 when we are more ready and guess what, my ally is ready. And thanks to kabam, we actually have to spend more resources to do so when our Treasury could have taken care of the BCs bit quite comfortably for weeks at least.
Seriously, more heads up would have at least given us a chance to deplete our treasury.
Why the hastiness to do this and make the large majority of the player base unhappy??

I don't think it had made "the large majority" unhappy though. It may look that way reading the forums but I look at them like product reviews. More people are willing to go out of their way to say something negative than positive. I guess it gives some sort of sense of vindication or catharsis.
So you end up with an echo chamber of discontent when in reality the majority are just going about their business bc they're neither greatly upset or overjoyed. I know far more people outside of the forum that are happy with the change than are upset personally.

If you want a ticket based system then the cost should be a split equally as the rewards are the same. Why should 1 BG pay 75 tickets whilst the other two BG’s pay 150 tickets and get EXACTLY the same rewards.

And thanks to kabam, we actually have to spend more resources to do so when our Treasury could have taken care of the BCs bit quite comfortably for weeks at least.
Seriously, more heads up would have at least given us a chance to deplete our treasury.
Why the hastiness to do this and make the large majority of the player base unhappy??
So you end up with an echo chamber of discontent when in reality the majority are just going about their business bc they're neither greatly upset or overjoyed. I know far more people outside of the forum that are happy with the change than are upset personally.
