5*Awakening Gem Trade-in Coming Back?

@Kabam Miike are you guys bringing back the 5* to 6* awakening gem trade back?

Comments

They recently said that there are no discussions talking place to bring this event back soon but that could change at some point.

Really hope so. Can't see to pull anything but mystic, I have 6, & absolutely zero use. Really annoying

I can settle for 5-Star gem to 5-Star gem trade.

This is what happens when they do an event and it gets so much backlash...
So many complains of ppl not getting a heads up or not having enough to trade it... People complaining that they used one not long ago and felt cheated...
Well now chances are we wont get the event...
Same thing for the gold shop event...

I had no Idea that existed until now...

It’s amazing the things that people will blame on the community, as if this company isn’t run by adults capable of making rational decisions.

The community got blamed for glory being removed from compensation packages, even though it was painfully obvious the glory was a huge windfall even if you dropped 1-2 maps.

You’re blaming them for no AG event now, as if we didn’t just have a legendary “celebration” straight out of 2019. A much more rational explanation is that there’s money to be made in 6-star AGs remaining scarce.

I think the complaints around that weren't entirely unjustified.
Trade-ins that were good for the people already compulsively hoarding everything for no reason, and frustrating for those that were using their resources. I think I've used one 5 star AG and no 6 stars since then, just in case.
People that traded a class AG and got the same class back? It sucks that Kabam left that as a possibility.

Dropping the event entirely and making nothing instead of fixing it and making a gang of money seems like a poorly considered course of action.

Yeah that’s definitely one of the hotter takes I’ve seen on here in the last couple weeks, which is saying something.

I wish they would just say that it will or will not come back again. I have a lot of 5* gems I'd like to just burn for fun, but I'm not going to do it as long as we might get the trade in even back. I'm sure lots of players are in the same boat.

I haven't used any gems since the last event unless it was going to expire with the exceptions being two skill gems for NF (which I paid for) and Shang chi in my 6* roster (which came from somewhere I cant remember, maybe act 7 completion?) and a 4* gem for rocket raccoon because it annoyed me that after 6 years I still hadnt duped him.

I have good awakening options in all classes of my meagre 6* roster and very few 5* I would even rank up past R3, let alone use gems on while the slightest chance exists that the trade in/trade up option might reoccur.

I would like to see it coming back and will be very disappointed if it won't.

It's stupid to do one trade - in event and stop doing so for no reason. If you dont want to do the event, fine, just announce it clearly to let us spend items for other uses. You must have a plan and stick with it.

@Kabam Porthos please put this post back into general discussion as it is not a suggestion nor a request. It looks like the community would like a simple yes or no answer as well. Thank you for correcting the mistake of moving this post.

Kabam Porthos

@BigDog6219, thanks for expressing your concerns. Rest assured, no mistake has been made here.

As you are requesting information, this thread belongs in Suggestions and Requests. Potentially bringing this feature back is also a suggestion that we can consider in the future.

This thread will be staying where it is. If you have any concerns about how we moderate these Forum in the future, I recommend reaching out via Private Message. Thanks!

Actually, people assumed it was coming back and decided to hoard Gems. That much was on the community.

Actually, that’s not how I see it. When it came for the first time in December of 2021 I believe, many people had been using their 5* gems somewhat loosely, as they’re not too hard to get and nobody ever expected there to be a trade in store. When we knew there was a possibility of a trade in store in the future, there became less of an incentive to use gems on champs that don’t need it, thinking there’s the possibility of having a trade-in opportunity in the future.

If they say “There will be an AG trade in store every December,” that would be great, and everyone would know to save their gems. If they say “There’s not ever going to be another trade in store,” also great, then we know to use our gems on champs we already have instead of this waiting game where we wait to see if there *might* be another store

There is an easy way to bring it back. All you need to do is use your gems you have in inventory, and I promise you the event will be back in short order.

Just ask all those summoners who spent 1.6M finally on Unstoppable Colossus a few weeks ago, right before the store change.

People need to be held accountable for their own management of resources...
If they used its because they wanted to use it...
Let's see lately there is so many posts about the "lack of gold"... Imagine the gold deals came back... People are gonna complaim they werent given a heads up and spent the gold or didnt have a chance to farm it...
Its always the same thing, they think the game itself is something where u get what u want after kicking and screaming a few times...
The sense of entitlement of some players is amazing sometimes...

They can't make that statement before they've even sat down to plan the Event.
