    Why is there an abyss nexus in the rewards? That's insulting and takes away one of the main things abyss had.

    Also weapon X? I know he was just an extra for legend runs but still, putting him in the crystal and rank rewards is a bit scummy and devalues having him a significant amount.

    The weapon x makes sense because they no longer will be doing act legends runs and kang and thanos who were previously acquired the same way have always been in the crystals too. The abyss crystal is an odd choice tho.

    Watch the video below and I'm curious of people's thoughts...

    he's basically saying they went too far this time

    Not sure how familiar you are with BG.. but this is the 3rd time he's suggested he'd quit the game.. first time was with the cosmic boost for 7.1.. next was the pre fights with odin when you could apply them from more than one odin.. i'm sure there will be something later on that he doesn't like and once again insinuates he's thinking to quit the game..

    Don't worry.. he's not going anywhere..
    Yup, he is not quitting. Between YouTube and the donations from his stream, he make a decent living.

    I don't know what to think about this.

    This event has always brought out the whales, so... uh...

    kabam should appreciate the time spenders to this game. bg is a great example. guy is literally streaming every piece of arena he does. he helps community. he shows the enjoyment to the people. as a f2p. he’s by far one of the best voices of the community. sure i had some disagreements with him but that never went to disrespect him. a lot of players owe him their progression. so no need to be disrespectful here.

    if kabam keeps doing this they won’t have players playing the game. only 1% of spenders are gonna do things. it’s just not cool that they completely ignored non spenders here. but hey we’re spending our time to this game and if we’re just ignorable assets just say it to our faces.

    as for me i traded some ggcs with alliance and looking to have fun. don’t expect to be on top even tho i’m in high level endgame player. but i really hear what BG says here and he has my full support.

    just sad.

    The cosmic boost and Odin prefights were changed though?

    They were.. I was just pointing out to the OP that this isn't the first time he's suggested leaving the game..

    I absolutely get BG’s point. It must be a sucker punch every year to see the gap widening in prestige and overall PI.

    I would say there’s lots of content he hasn’t completed yet that could bridge a small part of this gap. KT1 has made similar point. It’s impossible to stay competitive at the very top of the game unless you are dropping thousands of £££ on this event. As someone who is Thronebreaker but not good enough to play competitively at the top, if I won the lottery and money was no object, I drop mad stacks to get into the top 30. Mad stack bro!

    Personally I don’t think it’s good for the game economy. I think when you look at the recent buff to SA rewards only adds 250x 6* shards for the top milestone but you can buy out resources to take multiple champs to rank 4 I do think Kabam takes us for fools when it comes to rewards. We need to start seeing a very quick trickle down of R4 resources that we can earn through playing the game.

    I was hoping for a less scam heavy event. for a "community building" event like the gifting, it's toxic and too easily manipulated. especially for casual gamers who don't exactly have a team of trusted players around them.

    Then this event isn't for you. Go look forward to the free event Kabam is going to give everyone later this month

    An alternate thought. What does one of these whale accounts do once gifting is past? They can potentially get a rank 4 or three out of the gifting crystals, then get a bit more from the event. Then what? Everything else in the game is wildly less remunerative. Is it even fun to be the most stacked account in the game?

    I’m not a whale, but I do have a pretty well stacked roster and I got to say that after reaching a certain amount of high end rank ups, the game loses a lot of the fun because you’ll have every possible node combination/encounter covered. I rarely get excited for new champs too since I have every piece of utility that I could possibly need in my roster already. The only possible utility I could use is a Peni Parker counter but I’m sure that I already have one in my roster that I’m overlooking—(other than Magneto)

    This literally doesn't affect 99% of the community.

    If it affects the top players and spenders, then it will also affect anyone below them

    This literally doesn't affect 99% of the community. It affects the top 20 alliances that's all. Who cares if they get an abyss nexus crystal as rewards, you really think people spending 10k alone on gifting don't already have every 6* in the game? LOL

    Too many people getting pressed over something that doesn't affect them.

    The game is, at least in part, aspirational. Since we all participate in the game it’s different than, say, passively watching a sport. I remember working with athletes who played in international basketball leagues, and they would watch NBA games with the intent of someday being there and doing the same things those guys were doing. Even if a lot of them knew in their hearts that they were journeyman who weren’t moving up, there was always the hope and the motive.

    But when the top players are just getting things the rest of us can’t have because we don’t have the financial resources? You can’t aspire to be a whale? So, yeah, some of this is just perspective and having realistic goals. But some of this is also the game setting strange and unrealistic standards for success.

    It affects the leaderboard of Top 20 AQ and Plat 1 and above AW. It literally doesn't affect anyone else at all. I'm in a Top 20 Alliance and don't spend crazy on this event and could barely care lol
