I would like to dig deeper into this conundrum. Obviously the fix would be on part of Kabam's blame for creating so many Champions that are UNEQUAL, but let's work with what we have as is, shall we? I pose these questions
1) What's so wrong with someone trading a "Good" Champion for a "Bad" one in the first place? Did the number of "Good" Champions increase overall due to trading? No. The SAME "Good" Champion exist (and perhaps even defaulted to bare bones rank and awakening, see previous post) but only belongs to a different owner. What's really so wrong with that? Keep in mind this new owner is someone in YOUR own Alliance. Does that really hurt you because a previous owner in Alliance already HAD that Champion?
2) But your concern now becomes well: 'what if said player in my Alliance becomes more and more powerful by acquiring all of these "Good" Champions and dumping off "Bad" ones'... Again, what's so wrong with that? The exact same "Good" Champions were already in your Alliance owned by different players. And so what if one person has better Champions than you, how does that affect your gameplay? Again, keep in mind all of the hoops that had to be hurdled just to get us to this point. Hypothetical Scammer had to a) Level up to the required minimum b) join an Alliance c) find a schmuck willing to trade for "bad" Champions d) meet the Equal Rank and Awakening requirement or have the Champion reset to Rank 1. and finally e) Keep said Champion for life because of it's "Used" and not "Mint" tag.
These are sincere questions I'm asking to learn here, not trying to be facetious.
I don't want to MAKE the Minority the Majority (albeit nice)...
I want to make the Minority have the FAIR POSSIBILITY of becoming the Majority.
Does that make sense?
- Reach a minimum Rank of 30 on each account.
- Join an Alliance with both accounts
- Have an Equal Star Champ to Trade with in the first place
- Have both Champions the exact same Rank & Awakening
- OR If not, accept having both Champions default to Rank 1 and non-Awakened
- Realize that the Champ has gone from "Mint" to "Used" status and can never be traded again.
If you can do all of this, I say you "earned" it!
As far as trading resources, that's a whole new can of worms, I don't feel equipped to handle.
And quite frankly not a hill I'm not willing to die on either... but thanks for the offer though, lol!
But if you can take the time to fill me in as I have in responding to each of you, I'll gladly read into it.
I'm going to make a prediction here though and say I'm betting the fix could easily be the caveats I mentioned before...
Equal traded Champions, that default to base Rank and Awakening and acquire the "Used" tag as opposed to "Mint"... that should counter your fears.
Is it really that hard to believe that there are actually TWO whole different people in this whole wide community that could have similar questions and interests?
As I've said before, we are the SILENT MINORITY... but that doesn't mean we're rare...only a percentage point less than the majority to be viable.
- Alt account must be a minimum Level 30... check? (hope all that work was worth it.)
- Both accounts must be in the same Alliance... check? (hope your Alliance owner is ok with that.)
- Both Champs must be the same Rank and Awakened... check? (hope your A-Bomb isn't maxed, otherwise you'll have some work to do on your Ghost)
- Both Champs now get defaulted to Rank 1 and not Awakened... check?
- Both Champs receive the "Used" Tag (as opposed to "Mint")... check? (Hope you're ok with that because they can never be traded again.
Once you've done all that, congrats! Your man account now has a "Used" bare bones GHOST.
Now tell me, what harm are you going to inflict others with it?
TOTALLY GAME SAVING REQUIREMENTS AND NOT GAME BREAKING AT ALL.
Scenario A: (Current)
Tom, Dirk and Harry all want a GHOST.
Tom unlocks GHOST as anyone normally would.
Dirk and Harry are out of luck and must keep grinding and possibly "pay" Kabam to get a lucky GHOST as well.
Scenario B: (With Trading)
Tom, Dirk and Harry all want a GHOST.
Tom unlocks GHOST as anyone normally would.
Dirk and Harry are out of luck but now try to convince Tom to trade them the GHOST Tom has.
Tom has finicky demands and would rather have a DOMINO instead.
Dirk and Harry now must keep grinding for a DOMINO to trade with by "paying" Kabam to get it.
Notice, in BOTH scenarios, the amount of players that are going to "Pay-to-Play" with Kabam has NOT changed.
Granted this is just a small scale model, but magnify this a hundred thousand fold and the results will still be the same. Kabam does NOT lose money.
So what harm does it really do to you personally? They've owned these desired Champs all along (albeit in separate accounts) but now they're just confined to one account. How is that hurting you personally? How is what your friend owns affecting YOUR game?
Sincere question here, not being facetious. People always seem to bring up this as a fear point but never explain WHY it's a fear.
As for Dirk, he CAN'T trade for a Doom, because then the Champ will be tagged as "Used" and kept in his collection forever. And remember, the "Used" and "Mint" tags are designed to curb this abuse from happening. So Dirk plays the game as normal to get his Domino or Ghost.
So ultimately, the same 2 people that "pay" Kabam in the original scenario are still only 2 people in the trading scenario.
@AGSTROS you probably missed the times when the game was infected (and to some extent still is) with bots, mercs, sold and piloted accounts. Just look at how much Kabam had to stiffen up for a gifting (!!!) event, to avoid the scandals of 2019.
The whole point of the game is to grow your own account. Not to "buy" (trade) the top champs and single handedly beat all content. And it's also part of the fun, finding ways to tackle story and quests with whatever roster your luck gave you.
Everyone would want Aegon, Doom, Ghost, Quake, Domino, CGR... And you'd see "loaner" accounts left and right, with no other purpose than to trade/sell god tier+ champs. Just like the arena bots farming units and selling/gifting away. Now they would rise again to farm champs and steal rewards from those that actually grinded for days. Where would the diversity go? Not to mention the balance of Alliance Wars...
If I might ask, what's your progression level in the game? Not how long you had an account, but how far you are in content, roster, activities?
P.S.: It only takes a couple days to bring an account to lvl30. You can walk through act4, maybe even get uncollected in a matter of two weeks with a secondary acc easily.
Once the economics get realized of how this game wouldn't lend itself to making ANYONE financial profit, there'll be less and less of it.
So you mean to tell me, it's currently possible for someone to trade or sell Champs?
Because if so, my whole argument is moot and I can just follow these dark channels myself and get the 4* Iron Man I want and be gone, right?
Scandals of 2019? I wasn't here... fill me in if you would.
Everything you objected to about "growing account" "not taking long" "farming" "stealing" I've already covered and explained how to counter in previous responses.
I'm a Level 41. And I've been at 41 for 2 months now. I'm a casual gamer because it's no fun playing with an awakened 2* Iron Man... but it would be MORE FUN if I had that 4* Iron Man... then I'd be more active and possibly consider becoming a more dedicated gamer.
I'm lost if you're just stubborn, naive, or lacking knowledge on the (end)game.
Either way, Kabam STILL doesn't lose any money.
