High-Value Item "Protection" LOL

Jake303AoS

"This high-value item cannot be sold"..

Instead you will have to watch it expire and get nothing for it because the balance of resources is all out of whack..

Let us sell expiring resources, regardless of how "high-value" they are. OR, balance the availability of resources so we can actually use them.

These items cannot be sold because too many players kept asking customer support to reverse sales because they made a "mistake." Frankly, Kabam doesn't care if you sell anything. They do care if people do so stupidly, then beg to have their stupid mistake reversed, then bad mouth the company if they don't and complain about how the game "lets" them do those stupid things. That's when they remove those options from the game.

As to balancing resource "availability" resource availability is balanced, in the sense that it is almost always possible, with sufficient skill and foresight, for players to acquire the resources they need to use all the resources they get, at least all the higher value ones. Resource management is a skill the game rewards. I haven't had a resource expire because I couldn't use it in years.

I have a lot of t2a in overflow just from monthly contents and aq. Now with cyber weekend, even more. There aren’t enough t5b to rank up 6* or the t4c and/or gold to go rank 4 a 5*. We can’t sell item like t2a because then we don’t have to buy those t3a deals.

That's just straight up false.

We can't even sell T4CCs. Now people want to sell T2As? Lol.

What part is false… we have too much t2a full stop.. t5b is a huge issue at top level.

The answer is not allowing sell.. but got to increase t5b in glory etc

I have 40 t2a in overflow and only 5 t5b, please explain how we can use these …?

Jake303AoS

Please enlighten me as to why we shouldn't be able to sell these items? Put two warnings if you need to..

"This is a high-value item, are you sure you want to sell?" Yes/no

Then,

"This sale is final and not able to be reversed, are you sure you want to sell?" Confirm/cancel

It's dumb to even have to do that, but at least then if someone says they "accidentally" sold it, they can tell them too bad.. and the rest of us can have to option to sell or not, like adults

How do you get to that point? Are you not Ranking before you earn more? Content rushing and buying Offers is how people get there.

GroundedWisdom

Selection also plays a part as well. Sitting on Resources for a select number of Champs means they will get backed up. We can either Rank something to keep the flow going, or only Rank the best and let things expire when it doesn't line up.

danielmath

I just let t2a expire. Haven’t spent any glory on it or got any in any situation i can avoid, but t2a is impossible to avoid and t5b is impossible to acquire

GroundedWisdom

Question. People who have expiring T2A. Are you still Ranking 5*s?

Doubled back to clarify. Some people think it's a waste of Resources to use them on lower Rarities. This is false. It actually distributes them more evenly.

i don't personally rank 5* because i cant justify basically throwing away 2 t5b and the t4cc on a 5*. Taking a 5* to rank 4 has no purpose outside of being a means to dump t2a, but it also requires t4cc which i cannot waste.

i would simply rather let t2a expire, it's a better use of resources

Up to you. I'm simply speaking in terms of design, the game is balanced with all Rarities in mind. Players elect to focus on whatever they choose.

ya i agree, that's why i don't really complain about it. I do wish that you could get t5b from glory though, i think it's absurd that you can't (outside of a tiny bit for a super high price). The ratio is just super out of whack

That's where I get mine, besides content. Right now my issue is Gold, but that was my own doing. I spent my prudent reserve on the Gold Offers and I'm still recovering. Lol.

"This high-value item cannot be sold" NOT because it is high-value, but rather they want to control your inventory of certain items (T2A in this case) and control your source of getting upper class items (T3A in this case).

All you have to do is read this thread to know that's not going to work. The level of conspiracy nonsense, game design lunacy, and economics fail that permeates every discussion surrounding the game's resources is, well, average for an online game community but in absolute terms completely ludicrous. The community environment is dominated by those voices, and often what limits the adults is what the children cry about. That's why lawnmowers have warning stickers telling people not to fuel them indoors while they are running.

Given the return for selling items in stash and the fact that t3a, t6b and for some time still t5cc aren't going to be available by selling lower cats there's no reason to need to sell them. Couldn't agree more that there's a major imbalance between t2a and t5b that should've been addressed with this AQ and glory store update but wasn't, but selling t2a from stash isn't the answer to that.

I also have t2a in overflow a ton, even have t5cc of all classes, just no t5b to put them to use. The current imbalance is too much to me and from what I've seen most players agree.
